HTML tag. They're usually long and big and really in depth and they all have a banner. So if I want to write an article, I've got to actually put in effort, ya know? Can't just zone out and mash on the keyboard like I'm doing right now. The last article I did, A27, was the one about how I have ADHD and why that sucks. That took a *lot* of effort, like 3 or 4 months. Most of that was doing the pictures, and then redoing the pictures with a mouse. (just got a drawing tablet for christmas woo~) i guess internally i've built the articles up to be such big scary beasts that i can't possibly just *do* another one. well, that and i've hella overwhelmed this year between stressful semesters and this stupid space satellite research project that has me in *constant* crunch. Look, no, you can't dump a weird system with 4 MSP430s chained together and expect me to write 90% of the software for it in ~6 months. I mean I *did* but you *know* it's not properly tested. It's a miracle the processors can even keep in sync with each other blah blah vlflkergmlgm sorry i'm annoyed. at space. honestly i don't even want to go into aerospace stuff anymore. it doesn't help anyone. oh boy we made a big beepy box in the sky so the gov't can spy on us better or some corporation can charge us $70/mo for advertisements and trash tv. oh, wherever would we be without *that*. GPS and satellite phones/internet are really the only good things but also *there's really beter alternatives* that don't always require taking the massive amounts of energy to go into space. and don't get me started on spacex. went to a event they had on for people interested in interning and it was in the basement of this super loud pub (which thanks to the auditory processing disorder i probably have meant that it was all overwhelming and i couldn't hear a single thing from anybody) and the guy was talking about... well i couldn't realy piece together too much but he mentioned that they work 90 hours a week and *screw that*. talking about how they were driven by *passion* and i'm just wondering how they can sustain that for so long. work life balance is healthy. ps watch the rae the doe xmas carol it's hella good. [2] Wow yeah i'm being *super* rambly right now aren't i? was talking about articles and such. being scary. this is a sentiment i felt before which is why i did the silly one about the intro to the Faces of Evil. needed a break from that stupid game jam series. why did i think that was a good idea. quite frankly i'm not even sure if i want to publish this *masterpiece* of a braindump but eh. i'm sure someone appreciates it. oh yeah if you were curious basically how i write an article is that i do this in a document but a bit more structured (like entry 001) and then i just sorta revise it and do research or whatever and then i make the images and then i publish it. yee.
