Sprint 006, day 1

Added 2020-01-20 21:33:35 +0000 UTC

Happy Monday, everybody! Sprint 006 blasted off today. I finished the following tasks:

Wrote documentation for all status effects needed in the prototype scene (needed by Hyneman)
Uploaded new status effect icons to image server (needed by Hyneman)

I also nearly completed my first writing task of this sprint. I could have got it done in another hour or so, but at 1800 I decided to squeeze in a run instead.

Bad move. It was fucking brutal. I actually felt my blood slushing around in my body. It felt like all the blood alcohol and blood sugar that had been pooling in my feet for weeks suddenly got flushed back through my heart and my brain. I thought I was gonna fucking die somewhere around mile 4. An ambulance raced up behind me, siren blazing, and I thought: Thank God, somebody has seen the state of me and called for a casevac. Well, the fuckers just drove past.

But fuck them, I survived without them, so I'll get back to writing on the next sprint day. The new writing technique I experimented with in the last sprint is really working; writing felt faster and easier (and just better) today.

In non-sprint related news, we're making fast progress on implementing a long-requested UI feature, dark mode. More on this soon.

Okay, that's all for today! Tomorrow is a scheduled R&R day, so the next update is Wednesday. Have a great day tomorrow, everybody, I'll see you then!
