Discovering the side effects of cough syrup(again)?

Good day all! Where the hell have I been for most of the month!? Oh first things first, I'm expecting to have the new FET bughunt version ready tomorrow and the early access on the 31st.

So where have I been this month? Usually I would've written some sort of update weeks ago, but there was nothing, right? Well, I was just here sitting where I always sit. In front of the pc screen, but this time with some major brain fog going on and not being able to get anything done. As you know I took a break during Xmas but after finishing the FET upkeep version(which had a dumb mistake in the Linux version) I kinda got in a rut.

NOT being able to get myself into gear felt inexcusable and the prospect of possibly not being able to deliver for January made me spend the little energy I did have on less than positive inner self talk.

The good news is I got most of that out of my system now and with a little extra elbow grease I think I can just finish and release everything as I originally intended for this month.

So what happened? I'm still not entirely certain, but the fact it has been such a long time since a real FET release (there was a titans build, a spooky build and xmas in between) I had trouble starting up the engine so to speak. My creative mojo felt depleted and my ability to make choices was gone, leaving me like a deer in headlights. Or a Toph playing Tetris. I'm not entirely certain, but I also suspect I might have been doing a little too much cough syrup in addition.

After getting sick(and better) during the Xmas break I still had this cough which just would not stop or lessen and kept me up at night. So I bought some cough syrup. And waddayaknow... it didn't taste bad... not bad at all really... and then I bought another bottle because I emptied the first one.... I might have overdone that a little. Who knows how that affected things.

Anyway once I got a bit of my old self back I've been doing my best to catch up again and I think I've been able to (which certainly made me feel better) and finally write this update! Better late than never hopefully.

So there you have it. If you're in my inbox waiting for a reply, once I got the Bughunt uploaded tomorrow I'll go and try and punch a dent into that mountain. Till then!
