Been away, again...

It's been a good few months since I've spoken here, and it's mostly because I couldn't be bothered to log-in on my linux install. That's right everyone, the trans woman uses archlinux! Who could have possibly seen this coming?! Obviously college stayed out of my grasp, and I've done very little to practice my C#, but instead, I've been working on practical skills in Godot, slowly. I've also been dedicating myself more wholly towards my Japanese language study, as I approach N3 proficiency. My goal is to reach a point where I am comfortably at N2 proficiency before I go to take any exams. I don't really have the money to take the N3 and N2 both, especially if I flounder on either of them. As such, It would be good for me to really devote myself to studying! Other than that, life has been happening. The world is reaching the climax of political tensions that have existed since before I was born, and it is scary. I have no idea if I will even be around on the other side of all of this, but I will do my best to weather the storm. I would say it is partially that desire to weather the storm that makes me want to commit to making a game, any source of income is something better than what I make, and I can't afford to get a job when my mother's health is so unpredictable. In better news, I've lost a lot of weight, and intend to keep that momentum going, as best I can. The world will keep on spinning, so I must do my best to keep up!

Not dead

Wowee, I'm still around, I guess! Things here in the states are in the pits, and I've been busy studying C# and Japanese again. Unfortunately I didn't end up going back to college, and now that they are freezing federal grants, I may not be able to at all. Thankfully I've instead found certification programs that should provide me the opportunity to learn the things I need to learn. I'm hoping to start working on a game soon, but for now I'm going through freecodecamp's C# course with the intention of continuing through the rest of their fullstack certification programs. If I am not back updating, check my bluesky and mastodon, as they're where I post most actively.

Been a While

I haven't done any meaningful updates to this page in a while, but rest assured I tune in periodically! As I've applied to a college for their Computer Information Systems program, it would behoove me to be more active here. The last few months have been busy, as I've been taking care of my mother. She was meant to receive a lung transplant out-of-state, leaving my boyfriend and I to scramble for jobs to support ourselves financially. After months of preparation, my mother was only gone one week, and when she returned, she came down with pnuemonia and had a heart attack. Suffice it to say, I had to quit the job already to keep up with the trips to the hospital. It's been hectic, and the election results have me worried for the near future, but alas, all I can do is try and plan ahead for it. The release of the 20th Anniversary Half-Life 2 Documentary rekindled my interest in Half-Life as an IP, so when I haven't been carting myself all over the place, I've been relaxing playing Black Mesa, Half-Life 2, or (mostly) other Valve games. To prepare myself for the computer science course, I want to write a little game in S&Box, so keep an eye out for that! It may-or-may-not be pony related!

Finally back from vacation!

I had a fun time out by Niagra Falls. I got to catch up with a friend visiting from Australia, and we went all over the place! I'm still kinda getting settled back at home again, so this'll be brief, but I figured I should update!

Been a little bit!

Haven't updated in a couple weeks on account of a few surprise game drops! Dawntrail was very much anticipated, but my copy of Thousand Year Door finally came in, and then, before I could even finish either Dawn Trail or Paper Mario, Fallout London dropped! I'm drowning in games here, and I have a week-long vacation out-of-town coming up, so I'll be pretty busy for a little while! Also talking about setting up a 'Twitch Plays' like stream over Discord as a fun little drop of chaos in the daily routine.

Wow! Guess I'm staying!

Not a lot of people follow me on bluesky or mastodon anyways, and I'm leaving Twitter for good! I won't discuss current events, but I think I've realized I don't want Musk's sensationalized trending bar to ruin my day every day. I'll get my news through other sources. I guess I just like the thought of putting things on its own page disconnected from the utter chaos of the outside world.

Still not dead!

I've been searching for a font that's compatible with hiragana, katakana, and kanji, so I can open a sort of study blog page, and I think I've settled on one, it's just a matter of getting around to doing all the junk necessary to use a custom font. I still intend to center the body of this page at some point, but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing ahead of time so I don't break everything in the process. In other news, my copy of The Thousand Year Door HD came in, and I made a new pokesona! I've loved what I've played of TTYD so far, all the little touches make me giddy. It feels like everything I could've asked for short of a Luigi storyline based on his stories. On the subject of that Pokesona, it's a Wigglytuff! After drawing her, I even opened up Violet version to shiny hunt one. Only took like 10 minutes of wandering around to get, and only a few more to evolve it from Igglybuff right up to Wigglytuff! All in all, a fun week! Not the most productive though. I'll be back soon to finally fix the meat of the page being so awkwardly positioned!

Been a few days!

I've started working on a little pixel-horse game's assets. The plan is to make a little RPG Maker "doodle" of a game, but I might even use godot or gamemaker or something, who knows! If you want a little preview of that, check out my Bluesky. I'm still working out how I wanna format images here.

Major updates to webpage!

I've started work on major renovations to this site, adding more pages, a cleaner more readable layout and some other stuff like support for these blog posts! If things are going apace, you should be able to click the links on the sidebar to access all-new pages exploring all kinds of wacky things! This home page will act like a blog and can have whatever I want with it for now. Maybe I'll change that later.
