█ Temperature has been over 30C for the past couple of days and will be near that mark for the week. Some people like this kind of weather, spending time out in the... sun... I don't. I don't enjoy sweating in the heat, and the sun has a tendency of burning my skin (It always has to an effect). When I was younger I figured the patches of extremely dry and cracking areas of skin was due to my sweat, though really looking back it was the sun burning me to a crisp. Course add into the mix the occasional hay fever and abundance of insects that want my blood I have to wonder if people who enjoy summer are sadists.
█ Still trying to get back into the art thing with limited success. I've actually completed a few things over the past monthish that will be popping up in the gallery in the next few days. Usually I'm more diligent about posting stuff up as soon as it's done, I think it's more a result of me forcing myself to draw when I lack the energy to do so; as such feeling the need to post it up after it's done isn't there.
Though currently Heroes of the Storm has been eating away at my time, and it seems to be a game that I can probably stick around with unlike League of Legends. Granted to be fair I did play LoL for a fair bit... well, maybe not play so much as endure. I probably could ramble on for awhile about how LoLs game mechanics forces you to pay attention to way too many things, and how if you loose focus you're going to encounter a lot of toxic game behavior, but I think I'll abstain from that. Some people like all those extra details and nuanced mechanics, so much so that that LoL is considered an 'easy' game and Dota2 is where the real action is at. HotS turned the genre in the other direction, and the direction I find far more enjoyable. I suppose I would have stuck with LoL to this day though... if I didn't feel I had to report at least one other player in the match every other game.

Glad to hear from you, first of all, and I used to enjoy summer as a kid...oh the joy of being so naive. Now it's just another season that has its own reasons for staying inside, number one is the swarms of ravenous mosquitoes! I can deal with the heat, endure the humidity if necessary and the hassle of shaving one's legs before daring to go outside in shorts...but, the nasty little insects that have their insidious, high pitched whine...and, you don't realize they're there until they bite you, ugh!
It was actually great here over the weekend, 25 C and breezy >.>
So least that's something I can relate to.
As for HotS, I'm waiting for a champion to show up who piques my interest. Currently, none do. But Bug's been keeping posted on things.
Best wishes staying cool and getting back into it!
