“P.N.03 / Product Number Zero Three”

GamePro, August 2003 (#179)

Hey everyone! For tonight’s theme, it’s Sci-Fi Ladies’ Night! Because it’s always reassuring to see positive female role models and fair depictions in the modern video game, albeit the supermodel proportions, and because you just like looking at chicks in skin-tight bodysuits! Yay! Here’s Capcom’s obscure, experimental Gamecube game, P.N.03: a game I remember playing and having no idea what to do!

P.N. 03 (GCN, 2003)

listening to a geotic record today and it's incredible, baths has been just going as prolific as always since i started listening to him in like 2011 or so. 12 years...

i felt this way too when i met up with one of my old composers, moving to bigger and bigger things, her work more polished but still keeping its core. i asked her how she kept going and she said she didn't know how to stop.

my old artist went onto anime studio work in tokyo and came back recently — i'll be meeting up with her too soon.

i feel melancholic because ... i didn't keep going. i switched out of art entirely and didn't even do it on the side. somehow i didn't have that need to make stuff, or if i did i just ignored it like a phantom limb. does that mean i don't have the drive or ...

just neglecting what you like doing 100% to focus wholeheartedly on safety and security — for me, it was almost definitely a traumatic response, not a decision the old me would've made. i switched out of applying for jobs and took a chance on art and it paid off. then i stopped trying altogether?

it's strange how damage can take yourself from you
