Perfection is the enemy of progress


I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said many times before here, just trying to give myself a little pep talk here and get to work soon. Health isn't great, but i've had worse.

When you've been working on a project for this long, you start to become averse to just opening the damned thing. Why try? What makes todays little pittance of work different than the past 5 years? How are we ever going to scale this mountain? Where is the finish line? It's like we're trudging through a fog, with no destination, no light at the end of this tunnel.

But that's not true, we've come a long f*cking way, the world is shaking up, we're not dead yet, and there's a lot of good stuff coming online! Will it be enough? Only one way to find out... 

One thing is certain, if we get some work done, the game will get better. We will figure things out and have ideas for improving our workflows. It's ok if we do things wrong, and learn from mistakes, it's a step in the right direction. Really wish I was feeling better today, but so it goes, gonna try to get a bit done anyway, even if it's not perfect.

EDIT: I've made a decision. I'm really burned out. Even health aside, I think I just need a few days to not stress about the game and come in strong. Taking a mulligan. Going to focus on cooking healthy food, getting exercise and spending time with actual humans for a little while. You can't force this stuff. We're in the home stretch, I want to come in hard when the fire is burning strong. Also not feeling the best, hopefully that improves soon.

Post work EDIT: Ended up forcing myself to get some work done despite myself. Really mixed bag, fixed somet stuff I didn't know needed fixing. My unload system was broken and I had added some polish to combos that broke ranged combos for complex reasons i don't want to get into here. Was feeling good about getting work done and then my health took a dive per usual. Hit pretty hard this time because I really felt like I was getting better... oh well. It is what it is. Hopefully feeling ok tomorrow and I can push forward more.
