Last LD, a lot of people were having trouble with getting motivated, including myself. I attributed this at the time to a strange lack of the usual pre-event hype. To prevent the same thing happening again, I have decided that the \u201cI\u2019m In\u201d postings should commence as soon as possible. So here\u2019s mine!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hello, everyone! I feel like I\u2019m meeting an old friend again already\u2013 not only because it\u2019s been so long since I\u2019ve had Twitter to talk about games with, but because it\u2019s been even longer since I\u2019ve had only Ludum Dare and no Twitter. Those were the days. I\u2019ve been on hiatus from Twitter for a while, you see, and it\u2019s been nice, but I do miss the spontaneous conversation.<\/p>\n

Allow me to introduce myself, just because I can. I\u2019m Tim, formerly Puzzlem00n until I recently decided that screen names are annoying, I\u2019m 15, and I make games!~on occasion! Coincidentally, a couple days ago marked the two-year anniversary of the day I first joined this site and revealed myself to the internet. I\u2019ve done five Ludums since then, and it would have been six, too, if it weren\u2019t for that meddling motivation loss. I\u2019ll get away with it this time!<\/p>\n

Upon getting to know me, you\u2019ll find that my general personality traits include: arbitrary loss of willpower, strange mixings of optimism and cynicism,\u00a0no desire to understand low-level code concepts, ranting self-deprecatingly about life problems, switching interests from games to writing\/animation\/comics, not actually liking to play games, giving unneeded advice (OR SO YOU\u2019LL SAY), and making lists. Other than all that, I\u2019m told I\u2019m pretty rad!<\/p>\n

So what have I been doing lately, I\u2019ll pretend your asking? Well, I\u2019m trying to put together my personal website AND find a way to update it with content five or six days a week! See the extremely early WIP\u00a0timbump.us<\/a>, the greatest domain name ever conceived (world record pending).<\/p>\n

The point is, I\u2019m going to be doing this. And I mean I really am going to do this. And if I\u2019m lucky, this is going to be the beginning of a new age of Tim.<\/p>\n

Of course, that\u2019s what I said back on New Years\u2019\u2026 =)<\/p>\n

(My toolset will be revealed semi-dramatically in my next post.)<\/p>","time":"April 9th, 2014 12:24 pm","title":"Let the \u201cI\u2019m In\u201d Posts Floweth Forth","title_was_empty":false}
