Alucolor & Roksys: We Don't Know What We Are Doing

I've posted a few times before about short-lived, ADD-induced bouts of creative energy. This has led to a lot of concepualization, but very rarely to any real fabrication. This week, that's taken the form of a board game I had an idea for a few years ago which I won't detail here for paranoia reasons. But I'm hoping to at least get it a bit closer to finished than a lot of other things I try. I'm looking into making it into a mobile game, since it's a simple concept that Alu and I can hopefully figure out on our own, and releasing it digitally shouldn't be as costly as a physical product. I think the main problem that arises is our lack of coding knowledge, but a few widely available game engines either come with or can be outfitted with methods of getting around that, and I've read that Unity and Unreal can be used for free until your game makes a certain amount of money, which would be great for a start. Of course, all of this rests on the rather fl...

So Alu and I are signing a lease on a new apartment. We'll be totally by ourselves, which should be a nice change. Of course that also means we've been exceptionally busy, which is part of why I haven't been posting. That and I keep forgetting, but here's hoping I can pick back up. Though we're moving in May, so we may neglect it for a bit around then as well. We've also started learning the manual mill in our machining course, which is supposedly significantly easier and shorter than the lathe. So we're coming up on the end of the course, I guess. I've been fantasizing a bit about getting a job at Boeing or somewhere so I could tell people I make airplane parts for a living. I actually found an opening around where I live, but it will probably be filled by the time I'm able to reasonably apply. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find something. At this point whatever Alu and I find will probably be better than the job we have now. I'm hoping w...

I can't really think of one thing to blog about today. I could blog about FMA vs FMAB, but I don't think I have enough to say to fill out a blog. I was thinking maybe I could blog about Rok's present again, but I feel I have said a lot on that already. I could blog about Gods again, but I also feel I have said a bit much about that. So I decided I would blog a little bit about several things I am thinking about today. So here goes. I think that FMA the 2003 version has a better start then Brotherhood does. I feel Brotherhood skips over a lot and rushes through to where the stories really depart. And I feel there is some merit to that but I don't feel it was done very well in this case and I didn't appreciate all of the sudo-comedic scenes, they were too cartoony and I think they didn't fit well with what I was expecting from Brotherhood. It also gave me a feeling that the director figured you had already seen the 2003 version so they didn't need to flesh e...

Today is going to be a bit shorter of a blog because since we did nothing Monday we are doing everything today. We are shopping, cooking food, moving stuff, cleaning our house and we have to go to class today as well. Those aren't all of the things but they are the more prominent time consuming ones. While not doing things is nice sometimes, it makes it harder if you ad things you needed to do during that time. So while we are running around all day: Stay cool.

Sunday mark ed Rok 's and I's third anniversary, and to celebrate we got a buncha junk food and played video games the latter half of Sunday and all day yesterday. We didn't do anything and it was great! Well we went to a couple of stores but they were all luxury shops. Really we should have done more, but sometimes we just need a nothing day. And we figured our anniversary is a good enough excuse to do nothing together all day. This sudden outburst of laziness wasn't helped by the fact that we had been taking a lot of overtime last week and didn't have nearly as much time to ourselves as we would have liked, as a result we have remembered the money isn't worth the time. But anyway back to the main point, Rok and I have now been together three years, and I believe we have only grown stronger mentally and physically. I think we have been good for each other in so many ways and I think we can still elevate each other further. It has been a bit journey but it h...
