It makes you happy, who would've thought!
I've been genuinely happy doing my day-to-day business lately. Previously it was the usual "I'm bored", "there's nothing fun to do" kind of stuff. But now I'm filling up my spare time with all kinds of productive things. Of course there's gamedev, but I'm doing some minor art things as well, I'm learning how Blender works, studying maths, and hell, I may even start to try and get into music production soon!

"Wired in" 24/7
Am I the only one here who despises the effect smartphones have on society with a passion?
Smartphones. A computer, capable of sending rockets to the moon, that fits in your pocket. Technology is amazing. Wireless internet access anytime, anywhere. Technology is really fucking amazing. Seriously, what's not to love about the little things? Not much, really. But take into account the human factor, and your tech boner will be gone before you can take a pic of your food, throw a shitty filter on it, and post it on the hottest social media platforms.

Crash Bandicoot 2, reviewed
Skipping the original for now, I played one of my childhood favorites. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back.
Continuing with the story soon after where Crash Bandicoot (the first game) left off, Crash finds himself abducted by the antagonist, Dr. N. Cortex. He appears to have turned over a new leaf, saying he needs Crash to help him with gathering the Crystals (pink and apparently pretty powerful) in order to save the world from destruction. Having no choice but to cooperate (or perhaps just being pretty stupid) Crash follows along, and starts gathering the Crystals.

Caves, p4
Onward, we keep moving. Previous parts got some fixes, and as usual, previous part goes here.
As they got deeper into town, the music got louder as well. Andrea was softly humming along with it, now that she could hear it more clearly.
'So this is... Whelhaven, right?' Mitchell asked.
'Hmhm,' Andrea answered. For a short while, Mitchell wondered if that was a response, or just part of her humming. 'Whelhaven,' she then continued, 'the place we all call home. Founded by people like you, but it's been here for ages now. As I said, Warren will be telling you all you need.'

Khan Academy
I've been teaching myself geometry lately.
Whaaat Fang is actually doing maths, and it's not even school-related? Nope. My struggles with SAT collision detection (which I managed to get working in the end, but still) made me realize how important trigonometry (amongst other math subjects) are in game development. I saw someone recommend Khan Academy. After seeing what it's all about, I gave it a shot.
