Weekly talk 336

Hey

workflow:

I.. am stupid. Let's say i get mad with my roomate cause she didn't paid her part of the charges for several months, and.. i won't lie, started to get slightly frustrating to have it and her coming to make remark like "she don't have time to do her part of the cleaning this week, and you are always home so you should"
So.. i got angry, shout quite loudly and literally hit the table with my fist to show my point... And i didn't broke it, but damn it hurt.
I can draw, i did some doodle this morning, but i rather let it rest for one more day, so why i didn't posted something in last two. Sorry about that.
That said it almost don't hurt anymore so i feel like tomorw we should be good to go! This ween finishing the rewards THEN we directly jump on two comms and i work on a monthly once it done.
Early july i might go a few day see my family for my nephew birthday, then back, i'll tell on the discord when i got the dates. Certainly around the second week of the month.

The lateness:

I build some lateness into stuff i should do.
Several month for rewards and monthly sketchs, a lot of personal project on the road. Issue is last months i had to pack extra money.. well, cause i had to pay for the net and the electricity and gaz alone. Plus i had some medical dental fee, and it took a lot of extra work to pay for it and be sure i stay healthy.
I know life always throw rocks at you, but i feel like it should be easier from now on. I mean, after the summer. When i'll stop melting on the pc. I sware this week i'll go buy one of those bandana tennisman wear on the forehead to avoid their sweat leaking in their eyes. When i draw it keep happening, and it's really not a fun sensation.
All to say, once we hit September i should make it without taking comms for at least a couples of month and eat some of this lateness. I know, i know i said the same for June.. but i got a 230€ bill for electricity popping out of nowhere, and a 560€ bill for my dental.. So.. let's say i HAD to pick some extra comms.
It's ok i'm not in the red anymre thanks to those, but yeah, make me forced to work on those..
Sometimes also i just need to work on personal stuff, in the past it just built burnout to never allow myself to draw for myself, and i try to avoid this.
It's funny how i always feel the need to appologize when i take a day off or when i draw a thing for me.. Deeply flawed human being X)
Anyway thanks for this gift you gave me guy, to be allowed to draw for a living. I'll never not be thankfull for it

About saying goodbye

Recently needed some chill game.
I finished Sable.. wich was a un perfect wonderfull experience. Visually stunning, felt like being in a Moebius comics. Guy is a master of the european comics. He was one of the founder of the mythic Heavy metal underground comics magazine! Guy style is truelly unique, and to tell you how big he was, Miyazaki made the movie Nausica as an hommage to his style and art! Actually they met after this and became good friends. Heartwarming story.
Sable is a game about playing, Sable (mean sand in French) a young girl in a nomadic tribe on a desert planet. You play her as she ll go through her rite of passing. Becoming an adult, in this world, is made by sending you alone, with an overbike in the desert and make you, explore, discover the world. YOu can take a week, or years, it's up to you. You'll go, do little task given by peoples and earn mask of their different craft. Game is all about, find a thing you like and wonder if you wanna make it your living. Really chill and nice experience. But quite short.
Once i finished Sable.. i went to another game i had on the side for years, that Humble bundle gave me not long ago.
Spiritfarer
In this game you play Stella, and you wake up in a bark, with Charron. He tell you he is old and now it's your duty to become the spiritfarer, the one who will help the souls in their passing to the great beyond. Each sould appear, not as they were as human but in a sort of spirit form. This one as a Lion, this one as a Mushroom, this one as a giant Frog etc etc Some would have known you when you were alive, other be strangers... or maybe not
Game is a sort of chill gestion/platform game. You build a sort of small village on your boat, gather ressources, cook stuff, help the spirit souls you host in their passing.. And some HURT.
Seeing Felicia this old lady that you must go escort home at night or walk in the morning cause she can't support herself anymore is enough to pinch your heart. But seeing Stanley, this weird one, and slowly understanding how he is just a 8 years old boy, that his parents abandonned and don't even come to see anymore as he slowly pass away, literally broke my heart. Even deeply flawed character, like Giovanni, who hurt his wife so deep by cheating on her his whole life, got a deeper side, when you understand how he was a soldier in WW2, and witnessed many many horrors in his service, seeing friends die in his arms, and how it made himself swear he would enjoy every second of life as much as he could.
A game about learning to say goodbye, accept the passing away and how life can shine even at it last light.
Two games i HIGHLY recomand if you want to play some chill, yet deeply emotional games.

That's about it, thanks for reading this far, if you still are, and c ya soon!
