RJ Check-in

Hey all. It feels like last week was SO long ago. I found myself actually looking forward to writing this post today because I just wanted to chat about some things. It's nice to have this opportunity to get stuff off my chest, even if I'm not really talking about anything important. It feels kind of therapeutic. So here's what's been going on with me. 

I released the newest Update on Friday and there's always a little anxiety that goes around that. I LOVE the feeling when I release the game, but then there's this sort of dread that sets in afterwards where my brain is going crazy - "It's been an hour since I released and nobody has said anything, what if they hate it? What if they hate ME?" I know it's ridiculous, but it's the way my mind works. Eventually all of that settles down when I get some feedback (most of it good) and I can stop thinking those thoughts, but that's pretty much been my weekend.

I've really been enjoying working on the next Update and look forward to talking to you more about that on Friday. It's been basically my favorite part of the day, when I get to sit at the computer and work on the game for a while and kind of slip into this sexy fantasy world that has been concocted by my own brain. It's really fun. I honestly wish I could spend more of the day working on the game, but after a while my eyes hurt and my arm hurts (tendonitis) and I have to stop and chill for a while.

Aside from the game, I've been doing some cleaning work for some extra cash - that hasn't been super fun, but money is nice. I've also been a little sick this last week - a bit of a cough and light-headedness. Hoping it's just allergies and not you-know-who. 

Also been playing a lot of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I finished the main story, but I had so much fun with it, I'm playing through all the side stuff and thinking about trying to get the platinum trophy. Will probably keep playing it in my free time until Friday at least, when Hyrule Warriors releases. So hype for that game. 

And that's pretty much it. Still stressed about the election and upcoming holidays (which I hate), but I've been keeping pretty busy and not thinking about them too much. I hope you are all doing great and have a fantastic week. 

Love ya!
