I feel like I need to add a small content warning to this post. I'll be discussing my health and especially my weight in this post. I have no judgements for other people and I am only doing what I'm doing for myself.
For a month now, I've been going on a walk every day. This is some of the most I've "exercised" in a good number of years. How did this help me?
Let's try writing again!
I used to write a lot, on paper, in documents and on the internet. However, due to trans reasons, most of those posts are deleted or lost to the aether. The entire reason I started up this new blog page is because there's a particular post that I wanted to revive, and which I now believe is lost to time. Sigh.
Either way, I can't let all this effort go to waste, so here's a little explanation of why I'm writing, what I plan on writing, and what tools I'm using to facilitate the putting of words from my head into the bits on your screen.
This post is one from my vault of old posts. It does not reflect who I am now, and I'll interject with Foxtrot with some thoughts on it as a retrospective. The quality of the main post is not up to my current standards, although I hope my interjections will help to keep you interested!
These past 12 months I’ve been thinking a lot about productivity, and the systems other people use.
It started a year ago to the day I’m writing this. On June 1st 2016 I started a new job. My travel time tripled from 20 minutes to 60. To pass the time, I decided to start listening to podcasts, or rather, a single podcast, Hello Internet.
What I didn’t realise, is how much that podcast ended up changing my life.

This weekend (and Monday), I participated in Ludum Dare 37.
5 years ago, I also participated in Ludum Dare, for the first time. A lot has changed in those 5 years, as it would. 5 years is a long time. I went from making games as a hobby, to actually managing a games studio, as well as working on them as a hobby. I get paid every day to make games and that’s incredible. For many people, it’s a dream. It was damn hard work getting here, and it’s even more difficult now than ever, of course I’m better prepared for that now. I’m happy with where I am, I’m lucky to be here, and I’m really excited for what the next 5 years brings.
This time, I created an arcade racer, kinda Wipeout/Re-Volt inspired, a miniature hover racing game. I’m pretty impressed with the result.
