Just a serious lack of motivation and procrastination on my part killing any momentum.  However, this year, I am going to make a much more serious effort to stop slacking off.  Mainly because I find my future at the company I currently work for a bit tenable.  I need an out.  I want and out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was thinking of making a computer game.  Initially I was thinking of using one of those game engines.  I started using Game Maker Studio 3 (GMS3) and it was alright.  Then it was bought out by the Opera Browser guys and they immediately wanted to move it to subscripting based.  I had just bought a perpetual license for desktops and mobiles.  This rubbed me the wrong way.  Find, tried to move over to Unity.  Paid for a training material and started working in there.  What an experience that was.  Unity is great if you understand it.  But starting out, feels a bit like what Flash used to be.  Really busy, no clear way to organize things and what would be best practice on how to do things.  Then Unity made a license change, which the backed out from, but that killed it again for me.  So I was trying Godot.  And that was going ok.  Still a few peculiarities though.  Last night I had a problem with it.  It complains about something I have defined in a global script as no being there.  Ugh&#8230;  I give up on mobile which is why I though I should use these engines.  I am going back to my tried and true.  C with libSDL 2 and OpenGL.  The game will be limited to desktops and it may actually take some more time to do but I will be happier in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I need to do is probably be more consistent in writing on this web site.  This has been a bit of an afterthought of mine instead of a focus.  So I am going to at least try to write something once a week.  Which is a heck of a lot more than my once a month or less.  Need to make a calendar reminder I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last thing I need to do is serious lose some weight and stick to it.  Have a few warning signs that I have been ignoring.  Basal Cell Carcinoma, Pre Diabetic sugar levels, maybe something that felt like a heart attack.  I am still good but I cannot keep ignoring it&#8230;  But god damn food it so good&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So to my, maybe, one reader.  Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ugh&#8230; I have been saying this over the last few years.
