i went for 2 runs that averaged 4 miles each and, as someone who doesn't do a goddamn jot of cardio on a daily basis, i'm pretty sure my legs fell off. like, they're back on now, but i know they fell off. you could not convince me otherwise. hot damn.
the reason i did so much jogging is because i finally downloaded and tried out Zombies, Run! and oh wrow, i am invested. the voice acting is sometimes super good and other times not so fab, but even the not-fab parts kind of sound natural, like someone genuinely is having trouble communicating the fact that he's upset that another character turned their radio off in a post-apoc world. you can sort of let a lot of the not-so-great parts slide for that reason, and the good parts are really good!
i didn't want to believe the hype, but honestly, i really enjoyed my taste of the app so far, and when i get a job again i'm gonna probably get myself a subscription so that i can try out the different gamemodes and not have to wait a week between plot episodes.
i'm thinking of starting up a youtube series of me telling dumb stories (maybe to a limited animation/animatic?), but it's actually surprisingly hard to think of good stories that aren't confidential. i dunno if i'll make anything of it but i guess more on that later.
i also finished a redraw of the first page of my long-haul fantasy comic, and it looks good! i'll try to work through some more and post them somewhere. the hardest part is trying to remind myself not to spend too long fussing over small details. it's a bad habit of mine to get bogged down in that kind of thing and ultimately never finish a project.
in other news i started watching The Dragon Prince on Netflix. and it is!!! super good!!! it's about three kids going on a mission to save a fantasy kingdom; one is a dorky mage, one is a naive little kid, and one is a hardcore elf with a fake scottish accent. there's also a character who speaks entirely in sign language and some of it is left untranslated so i, a dipshit, has no idea what's being said. i've always meant to learn! but yeah, it's cool that they animated all the handsigns with care. aside from that, the plot is also really gripping me! i miss high fantasy for every 5 seconds i spend not consuming it!! give me high fantasy or give me death
