Today was a very meh day for writing. I barely got anywhere in a session after like 6 hrs. My ears were shot and I could tell I was going to make bad decisions so I walked away for the day. It happens to all of us. Don't beat yourself up. Tomorrow is a fresh start. Sleep helps.

Gearing up for a road trip...

The alpha (0.05) version of Playstation Doom has been found! This version has the original Doom sounds and an interesting procedural liquid effect. Looks like they already had the colored lighting and Aubrey Hodges music! Grab it here: archive.org/details/psxd...
