Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

April 29, 2024. Here's how I relax - a baseball game on one screen, and No Man's Sky on the other. https://flic.kr/p/2pPxFvM

April 16, 2021. I've been playing the new Expeditions version of No Man's Sky - it's a new twist on a familiar classic. This is a screenshot from the game. Otherwise, I got a bunch of stuff done today, including recording another video. Also (even better): no painkillers today. Not sure if I'm ready to ride again, but it's definitely progress for the better. Maybe some time on the trainer. https://flic.kr/p/2kTjiCU

September 5, 2019. I know I'm supposed to be working really hard right now, but I decided I needed the break more, and spent most of the day playing video games again. https://flic.kr/p/2hrbsLb

September 4, 2019. Got working on my presentation for next week, but it was pretty hard to work without heat in the office, and when the internet stopped working that pretty much did me in. Went home, worked some more, then told myself to relax and play some video games. Pictured. https://flic.kr/p/2hrdg2d

May 16, 2019. I've been stranded on an extreme planet for several days now - not because I can't leave, but because I need to survive several days to satisfy a quest. Survival is no problem (I've only played more than 300 hours of No Man's Sky) but what to do? I hunted storm crystals until I got tired of it, then worked on my Extreme Planet Base, which is my best base yet. Oh yeah, I also finished a paper and sent it off for publication. https://flic.kr/p/2fWNKEV

January 16, 2018. This is the Nomad, my special-class fighter in Mo Man's Sky. I often play for an hour or two in the evening while watching Jeopardy. According to the game I've played more than 100 hours so far. I like it because it's calm; sure, there can be periods of panic when you're fighting pirates, but mostly it's about exploring and building things. https://flic.kr/p/JDvDMB
