A list.

[xyzzysqrl]

What do I want to write?

Quite a bit of stuff, actually.



For Sqrlgames:

1. Continue the Morrowind journal.
2. "Randomly-Generated Adventure", on Roguelikes and Dungeon Crawls. Cover: Diablo 2 Eastern Sun, Sacred, Silverfall, Mysterious Dungeon, possibly text-based games like ADOM or Crawl.
3. "Painting the Wall of Text", on visual novels. Cover Lost Odyssey, Narcissu, Phoenix Wright, Time Hollow, Trace Memory, the Nassuverse, other games of this type. My first article to touch on porn. Whee!
4. Wheel of Gametap, on Project Runway at least.

For here:

1. Explore thoughts on art/drawing/visual mediums. Why do I cringe away from them? What -does- work for me?
2. Thoughts on food. I like food. I should talk more about what and why. (As the boyfriend noted, "I can tell if you like a meal if it takes you longer to explain it than to eat it.")
3. Update "I'm dead" post to be unlocked after death, just in case.

What I've ACTUALLY been doing is flopping around reading and watching old Monkees episodes on TV. I want to write these things, but I can't get the energy or enthusiasm to do it going. This makes me afraid something is terribly wrong with me.

Ohwell. At least I'm happy in general.

I have a similar list, of ostensibly interesting things, that I can't get motivated to do. I think it has to do, in my case, with being anxious about the premature end product, rather than merely enjoying the process. It also has a little to do with making lists and being overwhelmed by how much I'm not doing, and from there spiraling into apathy.

Brains're dumb.

Well, if it helps, I look forward to seeing/reading any of these things!

We need to totally team up to not write some stuff!

[hat-of-nikitich.livejournal.com]

Agree!

Actually, a short (non-)project might be passing something like a Dwarf Fortress game back and forth until we destroy the place (which should be almost immediate, since I can barely parse the UI for that game) and then we can write it up in style!

I wonder what else could be done that way?

I'm eager to hear about Sacred by the way! I picked that up semi-recently, but didn't get too far. I keep meaning to go back, because it's honestly fun and sorta hilarious!

... Maybe we should, like, multiplayer Sacred or something. It's a -great- game, the Gold version in particular, but I keep bein' all like... "LA LA LA I START NEW CHARACTER AND GET LOOTZ ... Ooh shiny other game." and then there goes my attention span.

That sounds like fun! If we wanted to get ambitious about it, we could Do A Thing over Skype, and put it on Ustream or something, for sqrlgames? Either multiplayer, or single player with commentary.

Or, y'know, take screenshots and formulate ridiculous fiction wholesale. I like that, too!

I hear you on attention span, that's what happened to my game of it, too.

I can't say there's something terribly wrong with you, but I'm going to therapy for the same thing.

I'll touch on your porn!

[xyzzysqrl]

That's what SHE s...

...I can't even finish this.

I only did that cos I got this image of you poking at it with your fingertip and giggling like a little girl. The porn is the word "Porn" in cursive script, rendered in red jell-o.
