Our cat has entered the stage of only getting a pill every other day for his allergies and he's been struggling with the fact that that means he doesn't get wet food every night.
Just replayed through SC2: Legacy of the Void and my god what a fantastic campaign. Alarak, Rohana, Vorazun, Artanis?? God so many fantastic characters and themes. I really hope we get another Starcraft campaign someday. And I hope against all odds some of the same writers get to work on it again.
Also "Thank you for Sending Me an Angel" is so inspirational. Like hell yeah. Imma walk like me. Imma talk just like me.
I watched Stop Making Sense with my brother at our local movie theater, and my god what a replenishment of joy that brought. It's so easy to be broken, especially on a day like today, when you see art and artists destroyed. And the songs don't ignore those pains, but seeing the beauty is so good.
He was very excited when I told him they were super thin so they made for superb summer pants.
I finally took the time to actually decorate my room after moving a couple months ago. First time I've put "nerd shit" up on a shelf and its fun seeing it all the time now.
God, revisiting old albums I haven't listened to in a long time is so wonderful. Sylvan Esso with proper headphones, loud, is such a magical experience.
Hope you're able to know you're definitely loved today. Have some cat pics in these trying times.
I'm also learning that Pigeons can become remarkably similar to a Rabbit Loaf if they choose to
Flying out of GDC, on standby, into a city that's about to get hit by a winter storm? Not very fun. Reading the Narrative Kaleidoscope while I wait at the airport? Very fun.
About a year ago I got my tattoo of Ursula from Pentiment. I remember seeing it in the mirror for the first time and thinking "I'm finally becoming myself." Pentiment means so much to me. It helped me resolve a lot of internal tension about the legitimacy of games. What a beautiful game.
It's a chilly evening of poetry writing. The perfect time to revisit Carrie and Lowell
I made eggnog for my birthday today! My first time doing it but it tuned out great. I think I could chilled it a touch longer though.
I am finally getting around to playing Avowed and god damnit its so good. I love my Godlike so much. I just want to get her the heaviest armors and coolest weapons so she can look her best.
I wrapped up a portfolio piece! Super enjoyed researching, writing, and blocking out a quest and level set in historical Dresden. The whole thing is inspired by Pentiment and 100% going to be getting more love. You can check out my write up on it here :) jerramcarr.com/dresden-1866/ #portfolio
Oh man, so great. My brother did an ink painting of our favorite shot from the movie and I love it so much.
