Busyish
Dyland got a job! I'll leave any further details to him, (Technically he still has the ability to post, laziness is a core value of mine) but reason I mention this is now he's busy focusing on work (As he should be), which means CanucksFC is now a back-burner project. Which means Soccer Tales production is probably slowing down immensely.
I have gotten the other side-project I mentioned though, so soon I'll be working at that, which should keep me occupied. The only catch is it's a massive thing which means nothing will see the light of day unless the monolith gets finished. GO BIG OR GO HOME, as it were.
I also still gotta work on learning sprite-palettes. dont tell zoo k.
In summary: I'm keepin' busy still.
I'm trying to not be all-"work" either though. Recently I started a 7 Days to Die server for Zoo, his gf and myself. We haven't actually lasted a week yet, and have needed to reset time a lot, and I've died about 10 times already, however...
It's fun!
I also say "work" as according to my sister and potentially employers and maybe even some of you PTErs, my animating and game making and other creative things I keep doing isn't a resume boosting mechanism like I like to imagine it is. Which if that is the case, uh oh. Buuuuuuut it's still mid-winter so progress on the job front continues to be frozen.
I'll let myself out.

Future Plans Part 17
The Hometown trip has come and gone. It was a blur, as most trips are. I managed to see quite a few people, but those I missed I'm going to try to see the next trip, in June. That one I'll at least have a car maybe...
It was a good trip though. I was sick most of the time as things go, and am still fighting something even as I type this. The weather in Hometown was insanely cold, so that's probably a factor. New City has made me a baby.
The trip was also pivotal in how the next few months will play out. I know now that it's very likely I'll be back in Hometown eventually. I have a time-line in mind, but things working out will depend on how it plays out. (i.e. job find, long-term living arrangements, etc.)
Abridged version, if you're one of the PTErs who hopes I move back to Hometown, here's your hope. (And also hope of me getting the Ecobat back.)
For the shorter term future, aside from still applying to whatever's available in my field; I'm continuing working away on whatever projects I can. The 5th episode is -HOPEFULLY- sent successfully and should be up sometime soon. I'm waiting on the next episode to work on, I have another side project that will take a good chunk of time to do. (It's going to be 7+ minutes of animation, and if you think 'lol you're never gonna finish that; I'm gonna try chunking it into manageable ~1 min pieces and combine them together in a video editor to master it. I'M THINKING AHEAD THESE DAYS) I'm waiting on the raw audio for that side project too, but soon soon.
I'm also still working slowly at a game. I'll be playing with graphic palettes, which seems like a tricky thing, but once I get a method down it'll be better. The game is still very far off, I'm technically still testing to make sure it's a plausible thing. I don't want to spend literally days on something, only to drop it because I get caught on something annoying or something that could have been forseen. Again, I'm thinking ahead. If it's too much I have another idea in mind as well. Ultimately, though I'm ditching flash for games, I'm going to keep experimenting with different programs and see truly what my limits are. I still think I can develop games, just no AAA bueno lol.
I guess technically that above blurb could be construed as RO crap but whatever I'm going for palpable resume boosters at this point lol. That said, my sister certainly thinks I'm wasting my time, and so do other family, so maybe I am, but I'd rather waste time producing things than sulk about the job market.
I'm trying, I swear.
PS Any projects I've mentioned in this post you are good to bug me about now. Maybe I need a kick sometimes, I dunno lol.
PPS oh yeah I'm still looking into uni/college stuff again too. RURP is technically a thing again. Day by day, we see what happens.

Rhythm
I've managed to get back in the animation rhythm, and made episode 5 of Soccer Tales. I dunno when it'll be released, but it'll likely not be released until I'm on my trip. Something to maybe look for during that time! (Since no PTE posts lol)
I also recently got an xbox one controller for my PC. I mangled with drivers and got it to work on my laptop! My Linux machine however...it's close. I mean, everyone who I talk about the Linux machine to tells me "Why do you bother with Linux" but honestly, it really works amazing when it does! And arguably, it's my own knowledge shortcoming that I can't get the new driver installed...yet.
(Short story: I installed a kinda outdated driver that doesn't recognize my controller, so I gotta install the new one, but the new one is so new that it's more steps and a little complex to do.)
I can ramble about my Linux machine almost as much as I can ramble about RO stuff.
Take that as you will.
Packing soon, so that's all for now...

2 Liners
My cousin is getting married in less than two weeks. I'm attending, and going to Hometown from the 11th-15th. With my posting habits, I guarantee its affect on PTE will be unnoticeable.
I'm back to animating Soccer Tales. Somehow it feels like I'm still managing the same humor and style, whether that's the actual case is yet to be seen though. Perhaps it's an easy enough style for me!
I've also made the decision to help friends out...by driving them to a bus station at a very early hour. I mean, they gotta be up too, so we suffer together...but tomorrow morning will be interesting lol.
