I just murdered a bunch of people. Two people in rapid succession actually. But then I got ran over and was murdered. When I woke up again, I ran to murder the murderer who murdered me but then was murdered by another murderer who murdered my murderer friend.
So I rage quit and turned off Halo.
Walk by Pantera. I used to play it on my Xbox 360 while I played Lost Planet back in high school and even back then I never did know the name of the song. All I knew was the distinctive riff in the song. Then, by pure chance, I heard that riff in a YouTube video nearly 8 or something years later
I know it sounds kind of corny, but when I met her I physically fell for her. She was sitting on a desk and I tripped over an extension cord in front of her. We knew of each other but we never really talked until that day. She laughed and asked for my number and from then on we hung out everyday. Eventually, I realized that I was happy just being with her. I'd dream about her, I'd think about her, I'd want to see her. But, I kept it all quiet until we both graduated. We hung out afterwards when we both moved to the same city for different university's and I couldn't be happier. But, we still weren't together. Then, I moved to another city, she stayed, I eventually confessed but she was going through an identity crisis and wasnt sure if she was into me anymore. Then 6 years passed with no closure. We reconnected through a mutual friend and laid everything out. I told her I fell in love with her. She told me she felt bad for how things ended. And, we decided to just be acquiantences and leave everything behind. I'm trying to forget her completely but even to this day I think about her. We talk briefly once a year or something for work mainly but I still love her. She's still in the same city we both moved to for Uni but other than that, I don't know too much about her anymore.
It's a mixture of using photos I took, using textures like concrete and whatnot, practical painting, and colour adjustment.
I'm releasing it concurrently with the book. I've still got a lot to do before I can release anything however so I'm just doing the chapters that I know are 100% done
Oh yeah, its amazing to hear the voices for these people but, as you say, it's scary. Since I'm the director and creator it all falls to me to decide everything. I mean EVERYTHING from inflictions in their voices, how a line is delivered, scheduling, payment etc. Of course, I give my actors freedom to interpret how they see the characters. You have to have a fine balance between making decisions but also letting them be creative with what they do during directing sessions.
I'm working on an audiobook of a novel I wrote. I have another recording session today with voice actors who play my characters!

I'm making a video game in Unity. Something like a cross between Streets of Rage and Paper Mario. I'm also working on an audiobook of a book I wrote.
Buying a GOOD computer chair. You don't know the pain you're causing yourself until you wake up with a sore lower back.
The company that lost my $3500 computer a month ago finally sent off a free replacement and it'll be here next week! Normally, they replace it with a refurbished one but since they don't have any, I'm getting a new one.
Fishing Vibes from Sonic Frontiers. Seeing Sirena Beach reminded of it
Running to the Sea - Royksopp. Now that I know it's about some sort of terrorist attack, I just feel weird listening to it now
Brick Technology makes cool mechanisms out of Lego to solve some simple problems
What was the most unforgettable interaction you've ever had with a stranger?
For me, it was a long talk I had with a random person on Omegle when that was a thing. I was bored one night so I decided to give it a try and I was matched with someone who I had nearly a 2 hour conversation with. We told jokes, told each other about ourselves, and talked like we were lifelong friends. But, we never did tell each other our names. I could've talked to this person all night but the interaction turned for the worst near the end. The person was depressed from what I gathered and the depression arose and the conversation fizzled out. I still think about them nearly 6 years later and hope that they are doing good whoever they were.
My job title is Storyboard artist/3D Generalist but I haven't really done any storyboards or 3D stuff for about a month. I'm more of a compositor now working for a small production studio. However, since it's client work and the big boss has been off on a press tour, I haven't really had anything to do for the past 2 weeks. I'd wake up around 10-11, lay in bed until maybe 12 or so. I'd get out of bed, go buy a coffee from McDonald's, and then either watch tv or play my Xbox. Rinse and repeat unless something interesting happens that day. Sometimes I'd get a task from work which usually takes me about 1 to 2 hours to finish then I'd do nothing again. I basically do nothing all day and get paid for it. Sounds pretty awesome but I'm bored out of my mind.
Thank you all for the advice. I've made a decision and I'm going to be moving to the city. My dad is in relatively good health right now so I think we can manage. Again, thank you all. I really appreciate it
What is the movie like thing that has happened to you?
For example, I once saw a man throw his hat down in anger. He didn't stomp on it which was kind of a let down.
I finally can work on my book! But, what do I do?!
Recently, I've recieved an email telling me my application for a creative grant to write my book has recently been approved! I can finally work on my book full time! Not to mention that the funds I recieved is going to go towards hiring voice actors to voice in a audio book format along with paying me to create visuals for the book to!
Now, the thing is I'm caught in a conundrum. I am going to be going through with this audiobook but I do want my finished manuscript published. So, do I distribute the book myself through the socials or do I wait and send my manuscript to publishers first?
I'm aware of finding beta readers, maybe hiring an editor, but, honestly I'm not sure what to do.
The longer I'm stuck in this world the more I understand why villains in movies want to destroy it.
It's been almost 8 months since I graduated Uni. No one wants to hire a student with no experience. Been living in my parents basement for all that time. Been working nearly every single day trying to better myself for a job to no avail. Been drowning in debt for nearly 10 years. Mom hasn't been able to work due to health problems. Dad just diagnosed with the worst possible disease you can think about so he can't work. It all falls to me to work. Family had to resort to a social assistance to pay the basics requirement for bills. Owe Sister and aunts money. All my friends have moved away or too busy to talk or do anything. Last meaningful relationship, which entails just talking and doing nothing more, was about 5 years ago. And no matter what I do, who I turn to for help, how much I kill myself trying to get a job, how much I try to better this situation, it all ends up with another rejection email, another message left on read, another email with no response, and more debt that I can never repay back.
Yeah, I get why villains want to destroy the world in movies. The world sucks, everyone sucks, there's no good people in this world. Miracles don't exist, dreams are just imaginary, everyone doesn't care about you or what you're going through.
And like everything else I've tried doing to help, this won't get any attention. It seems like the universe forgot I existed or just made me to torment me. Because it just seems that I'm just a shadow in a dark place.
Forgotten and alone.
