i haven't felt this disappointed in any game in a very long time. the highs (visuals, music) are dragged down by the lows (control and uneven/"unfair" challenge). i (repeatedly) voiced my feelings on stream, and i haven't felt this good about uninstalling a title in a hot minute. 😅

and on the flipside, well...this is not how i expected this to look at the start of 2024. 'twas a year of big changes, i suppose, and i'm starting to feel like i belong again.

ended up taking over 30 photos of the content of those sketch pads. not everything is dated, but most are between 1992 and 1995. i think there are some things from various art classes i took as a kid - mostly the pastel, charcoal, and pen stuff.

while searching for something in my closet, i stumbled across all these old sketch pads. guessing they're from 1993-1995 or so. depending on what's in them, i might share pics here and/or show on stream.

i went searching through some old photos looking for something and was reminded i used to decorate my door at work for the holidays. 2014 (mario) / 2015 (charlie brown) / 2016 (rudolph). my office was in the 6th grade wing, and the students (and staff) seemed to enjoy it.
