I randomly chose it in Mario Kart DS when I was playing with friends. Been with me ever since

Hm, the last major movie I saw was avatar 3 but I can't watch 3d movies without wondering. First movie that comes to mind is the first gladiator movie. I can see why everyone liked it

I'm a production artist so now I can't really watch a movie or play a video game or see a billboard or something without wondering how they did a certain thing or if I see a small continuity error or something wasn't masked out properly. It doesn't detract from the experience, in fact it adds to it. When I see something that amazes me, I think of how I can recreate that by developing new techniques or using a piece of software I've never used before. And, I take a mental note of how a story affected me and what part really affected me and I use that as a reference for my own things to reproduce that genuine feeling I have of wonder, excitement, sadness, or fear.

And, as an artist working in the industry, when I see stuff that other budding artists have done sure I can spot things that could be improved. But, I understand where they're coming from. I've heard a quote that I took to heart "Never criticize, always encourage." And, so that's what I try to do.

I finally got paid for a big job I did and now my new computer that I've been looking at for the past year is on its way to me. And, I have enough to get some Asian food for dinner which I like.

 

Be it your best friend, your dog, cat, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, and all that exists in between. How did you meet them?

I still remember when I became conscious, so to speak. I was 3 years old and I was sitting on a couch in my parents living room. My mom and dad were sitting on a couch opposite to me and also watching tv. It was night and the only light was from the tv. I specifically remember the room was bare since my mom and dad just moved in but my I can see my toy box underneath the big window on the opposite side of the room from me. It was a large blue bucket. Past that, I can't remember a whole lot other than images.

What's with this corny post?

So far. Meh. I broke down a couple days ago but have recovered over the weekend. Today I feel alright, tired all to hell and have to work but meh. Good news is I'm expecting to get paid from my freelancing job this week. Enough to buy myself the laptop I want so I've got that going, which is nice.

There's a series of mods where you can change the combat into something very souls like. Combos, lock on, dodging, etc. It's kinda complicated to set up though but it breaths a lot of new life into the game

 

I don't mean like how happy you are today. I mean overall, are you satisfied with everything you are up until this point? For me, for an example, I have a decent job that keeps my head just above water. I have a loving family that I see every couple months or weeks. I have the freedom to do what I want, when I want. But, overall, I'm sort of lonely and exhausted from constantly working. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm about a 6.

Do shoes on people immediately put on shoes as soon as they wake up or something? I don't even put on socks!

I have a bachelor's but quite honestly, in my current job, I don't need it. The only reason why I got it was just to have that shiny title on my resume. The job I have barely requires anything I learned in school and school was a lot harder than my current job. So, all in all, it's a nice to have but not needed.

What kind of bird is always getting hurt? An owl

One of my first memories was that my school had an iguana. There was a huge cage in the central area that the iguana roamed around

 
 

Be it a personality quirk, something they're wearing, or just the way they look. What makes them instantly hot?

Becoming an adult (files.catbox.moe)
 

It's crazy what's been happening lately. I have a relatively big family and, honestly I don't know a whole of them, but in the past two weeks two extended family members passed. Then, this morning, I just got the news that my aunty whom I've known all my life passed.

Whats going on? Why are so many people dying? In the past year I've lost 4 family members. All to sickness or to some sort of external factor.

I wish I was like John Coffey. I'm not religious, in fact God can fuck off, but I wish I could get healing powers. Imagine what life would be like if instead of dying, grieving, crying, people can celebrate, smile, laugh. Parents can see their sick children grow to be adults. People can see the world instead of seeing it through the windows from a bed. People can walk with their families instead of wheeling by their side. If I had supernatural healing powers, like the people in the movies I watch and video games I play, that could all be possible.

I often think that life is a punishment. Being able to live isn't a gift. It feels more like a curse.

 
 

As in the dream you had while sleeping.

Mine had me seeing the sky distort and turn into some sort of dimensional rift. I remember seeing black goo falling from the sky and seeing a large, sandstone ceiling cover everything. Just beyond the reach of clouds I saw a rocky ceiling with square holes in them that lead into the darkness of space. Then, after getting lost in an ancient pyramid, the sky then turned into planets phasing into one another. Like textures in a video game overlapping one another. I saw lights in the sky flying around like fireflies and hearing a voice saying "You're quarantined on this planet. You may not leave but we can."

I've heard that a phone lock screen can tell you a lot about the person. So, I'm curious.

 

We always hear about people's bad habits but what's your good habit? Mine is whenever I have a meal that has vegetables in it I always eat that first. That way I get it out if the way then I can enjoy the rest of meal without having to worry about eating it.

 

What's the point of everything? What are we heading towards? There's got to be a reason why we were put here. Why was I put here? To sit at a computer all day and work for another person making spreadsheets and drawing a bird over and over again? Surely that can't be the reason.

I often hear that "life is a gift", but this is shittiest gift I've ever received. A life full of 9 to 5, too tired to do anything, alone all the time, bills, no money. In post apocalyptic movies there's the risk of death but at least they're alive. Have something to do and appreciating every moment they have breath in their lungs. But, not me. No reason to wake up early other than to be tired at a computer desk. Nothing to look forward to other than the morning coffee. Life is monotonous. Even with stuff to do it's a fleeting feeling. Disappearing the next day knowing that such an event is an anomaly. No fun is to be had.

Movies, video games, and YouTube provide the illusion of being alive. Of breathing for the first time. Of smelling the fresh air of a mountain top. Feeling the touch of a lover. Hearing the laugh of a friend. The feeling of being wanted.

But it's only an illusion that makes my eyes water and my back stiff. Instead of warmth, I get wrist pain. Instead of happiness, I get eye strain. Instead of a living, I get existing.

I read that our lives were born of star dust. Our world is perfectly situated to harbour the gift of life brought down from the void above us by asteroids and comets. The gift of life is unusual it seems. If that's the case...

Why was I put here and cursed to live this life of loneliness?
