I\u2019ve spent a lot of the last three years thinking about exactly what I\u2019d like to do and what it will take to do it! I\u2019ve also spent a lot of the last three years consuming media, from books (three years ago I finished my BA in English), movies (the older the better), and even video games, which has inspired the image choice and fantastical score I\u2019ve chosen today. The game itself isn\u2019t important, but it contains a giant purple jellyfish you can summon when the chips are down to help you get through tough parts. The fact that this game and its predecessors don\u2019t have a difficulty meter is unique in the current era, and adapting your style while encountering obstacles becomes not just encouraged but necessary. Much like life!Some games aren\u2019t difficult enough to force people to do that, and there\u2019s a place for easy, leisurely games as well. Some situations in life aren\u2019t difficult enough to force us to change, and sometimes in life periods of respite are necessary too. Resting is important, but not resting too long on laurels.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a more colorful note, I recently spoke with a friend who told me the retail establishment she worked at started pushing out purple in the last couple months. That made me think of design and marketing, and whether or not my recent reconnection with the regal color was a conscious decision or marketing manipulation. It also made me think of the symbolism behind colors and why artists and designers choose them to represent certain themes (for instance, purple is commonly used to represent poisonous characters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
