Happy Holidays!

 2020 is finally coming to an end. Can you believe that?

At the end of the year, we finally got a little time to ourselves. We expected we'd be doing all sorts of things, working on personal projects, maybe making new models for Sketchfab or learning new things inside Unreal, but we've just been resting and playing games. The last month was especially busy, so we probably need a lot of time to regain our energy.

So now we're spending that time on playing games we've meant to play, or we like playing. We started Persona 5 Royal, but we're disappointed that the localization wasn't improved at all, and we couldn't use the original game's save file for New Game +. It's a good game for chilling at night, has a wonderful atmosphere, but the story bits often have us scratching our heads.

Another game we've been playing is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (because what else would we play on a 4K TV?). It's a pretty special game for us, since we played it together very early on at the time we first met. Geril has only completed the 3DS version, and I only completed the original game on an emulator, so now we're playing it on the Gamecube, as part of The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition. It's not a perfect port, but with the Gamecube controller even Geril can tolerate playing it.

There's not much left of the year, and we doubt we'll suddenly get an ungodly wind of inspiration to create something on the last day, so we're going to end the year with hopes that during the next one, we'll get more time to work on our personal projects.

Happy New Year!
