#But I'm gonna do it anyway

I'm still alive. I've had a severe vacation hangover all week long. I think that's what happens when you have a booked work week after you return from a few days of fun. Tack on a few extremely emotional sequence of events in my day to day life and you get a VERY drained me 🤷‍♀️ Never fear, the weekend is so near. I'm looked forward to a large glass of wine (or two 😏) later.

I finished up this super cute space cake earlier today! Chocolate spheres and a sculpted rice krispie treat astronaut to finish it off.

Jak and Daxter is such a great series, I'm so sad that it doesn't get the love it deserves. I mean come on! A transformed best friend/animal companion. The absolutely beautiful snarky back and forth between characters. The subtle world building hidden within the world's own language barrier. The utter lost history between the time of the Precursors, as well as the 300 years between the first and second games. An ENTIRE DESERT OF STUFF TO EXPLORE. How is there so little to go around??

I feel that it's partially due to the content itself lacking the context needed to properly flesh itself out. There's subtle bits of information that can be found just about anywhere, but that's just it. It's subtle. Like...really subtle. Like "We're not even sure we should be putting the effort into modeling this" subtle. If y'all remember the tapestry in the Oracle's hut in Jak 2 and you saw my last lore hunt, you can pretty much guarantee a lot of these subtle pieces of lore have remained hidden for years, and not for lack of trying.

Every sign in 'Renegade' says and means something. Every piece of architecture has purpose. You don't just design scaffolding collision THAT precisely for nothing. You coulda made it an invisible block and called it a day. The Lurkers have a whole history of their creation and various branches of their species that we don't see outside of the first game. Spargus had at least ONE other King before Damas. That music puzzle had to be there for SOME reason!

Who are the Metalheads, where did they come from originally? What are all the tunnels in the Precursor Basin for? And what, if anything, is the connection with the House of Mar and Rock Village? Is the Warrior the one and original Mar? Some sketches have precursor text on his sword, do they say anything and is the Eco-Sword Praxis uses the very same blade? What is the importance of those ruins in Haven Forest? Where's Misty Island? How many questions can I follow down the rabbit hole until it hits crack territory?

I feel like there's so much more that we're not seeing, that we CAN'T see. Which means I need to play TPL again. Maybe 2 as well.

I've just gotten my hands on some PDF's of the design bibles for the series. I'm going to read through both those and the strategy guides I have, make some notes, and go from there.

It's time for another lore hunt.

I was at a Palestinian solidarity gig last night & the one Palestinian artist who was going to perform had COVID so the organisers asked around to see if there were any Palestinians who'd like to say a few words instead.

A local guy who was born & raised in Gaza offered to speak. He started with "I'm an engineer. i'm not a poet or a politician. I don't... do public speaking… I had no idea what to say when I came up here. So i'm just going to tell you about the street I grew up on."

And then he did! He went down the street building by building. He told us about the ice cream shop on the corner, the grocery shop, the charity that supports people with intellectual disabilities. He told us about the people who he knew growing up, the families who still live in the different houses. He told us about the university buildings and about his friends who quit being accountants to start a band together. All on that street.

All of which is gone now, by the way. Bombed to dust.

I log into tumblr for the first time in years and my timeline is inexplicably full of Amy Rose, frequently Amy Rose x Metal Sonic? I mean I'm not upset about it but huh?
