Plans

I think it's important that I plan often, given that my future appears to change ten thousand times in a single breath.

Career

I am trying to become a research and development engineer for video games. This is how I see my life playing out in broad strokes at the moment.

• One more year of classes at EPFL.
• Original research on character animation.
• An internship at a research institute such as La Forge.
• Game engine developer based in Switzerland.
• Return to academia for PhD studies.
• Teaching position at a meaningful level.

So maybe I should view my life from each of those future events.

Dreams

Star List

This is what I want to appreciate next, up to reordering.

• Games. Baba is You, Runescape, Tunic, EarthBound, Steven's Sausage Roll, Disco Elysium, Final Fantasy 6, Factorio, The Witness, Hollow Knight, Elden Ring.

I mostly get my recommendations from friends and "best of" charts, and I'm happy with how that's going.

Todo

I mean the day after, I mean the day after, I mean...

• Curate, develop, and store my photographs.
• Studying character animation.
