October Update!
Posted on October 2, 2024
Heyy! It's been a while since my last journal entry, so let's talk life updates. Always fun to talk about! It's been a real hectic year so far, but I'm still chuggin' along. Things could be going a lot better, but I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
Well, back in June I FINALLY got the chance to go to my very first convention, and it was a decently big one too. TooManyGames 2024! I was there! And there I finally got to meet my boyfriend in person after 7 years, as well as one of our close friends! We were all there for the Red Vox concert, because we all love Red Vox. I also brought Katsu-chan with me and he got to meet many, many people. It was an unforgettable experience, and I miss it greatly. AND I now understand why conventions are so popular. Took me long enough!!
July was solely dedicated to Artfight. I've already uploaded quite a few of my attacks to my gallery, but I haven't uploaded all of them at the time of me writing this journal. I'm really proud with what I've managed to create this year! It's definitely a huge improvement from last year, since I was only able to churn out about 5 back in 2023. I regret it deeply. Hopefully I made up for it this year!
August and September weren't as eventful, though. So far it's mostly just been me getting really anxious about health issues and the like. I'm still really stressed about it, but I'm trying my best to tell myself everything'll be okay.
Alright, now for less timeline-specific stuff... If you hadn't noticed, I got really deep into In Stars and Time earlier in the year. Honestly, it's my favourite game now at this point. If you love games with really compelling stories, please play it! It's on Steam, Itch.io and Switch/PS5! I also started playing Cave Story recently, and I'm honestly mad at myself for not fully playing it until now. I played the Wiiware demo a lot as a kid, but never the full game because I was poor and didn't know that there even WAS a freeware version until recently. Dunno how. I did watch Vinny Vinesauce play through it though. (And that's why the song of the month is a Cave Story song. It's really good!)
I've also purchased my first screen tablet, the Huion Kamvas 13! I'm really happy with it so far. Hopefully this'll help me in some ways. I just have to rediscover my artistic motivation...
Well... that's kind of it, really! I really wanna come back to semi-regularly updating this website. I might be able to soon if everything goes right! I miss fiddling around with code. Hopefully I'll remember to update this journal more frequently. Although, I'm a notoriously forgetful person, so... no promises! - -;;
P.S. I'm still working on the Far End Refresh! I do have some ideas brewing in my brain on how I want to present everything as well. World hubs will be changed around a lot more once I'm done! ;D
