Game Update
Still working on a better way to create invisible movement zones for the game. We think we have a good process nailed down between Blender and Unity. There is a little big of as learning curve for me as I create these zones for the game. I keep creating shapes with a concave section which won’t wrap properly.
The holiday season has made things pretty interesting for time as I keep trying to motivate myself to find more time. I’m looking at how I can stack time on to make it more enticing for me to sit at my computer. I think what it’s really going to come down to is cleaning my office to make it a more conducive place that I will want to exist in. It’s become very messy again.
Personal Update
My youngest child has been going through some difficulties lately. It got so bad that I had to threaten to take away some of his Christmas presents. I’m not sure if he isn’t sleeping well of or if it’s his visit with his mom over Thanksgiving that did it. At any rate I’m hoping that he can turn things around. Sometimes the holiday season can be very stressful for everyone involved.
Made a lot of progress with my new girlfriend. We made things official last weekend and are moving forward with the various challenges that this will mean for both of us. I’m very excited as I keep seeing signs that this is the right decision for me. That said I shouldn’t ignore confirmation bias either. Sometimes we want something so badly that we look for things to tell us that it’s correct.
She introduced me to the show “Ted Lasso”, and the movie “The Notebook”. Both shows that I think have a lot to say about how we live our lives. The hero in Ted Lasso is especially interesting to me. He is the kind of masculine man I aspire to be. Someone that is focused and brings the best out of people. I guess that’s why I love my job teaching so much. What a blessing to have this job.
The character Noah from “The Notebook” is interesting. I identify with some of his traits but not all of them. I like how hard he works at love, but there is an element to watch out for here as he runs the risk of being “to needy” for love. Still the movie had some very touching moments for me, and I’ve learned not to pass up a chance to cry.
