On Saturday morning I was having a series of negative thoughts about my hobbies. They were thoughts like, "I wish I was better at this hobby", "But I don't want to work on it right now", and "How can I wish I was better but also not take action to work on it?" Thoughts like, "I wish I loved this hobby more," or "Is it a waste of time to do it if I don't love it all the time?"

Sometimes the best way to counteract unhelpful thoughts is to move around and do something. I ended up joining Ludum Dare 57 to get some of the feelings off my chest. The theme coincided with this.

This isn't much of a game, but I feel better for having made it.
