The "I'm Not Dead!" Thread (member updates)

What is going on there? 

It, for me, has been the most different year so far. I'm out of school by now, but no dice in employement. (can't get into college either, unforchs, but I think I'll be an English teacher, then again, I am currently studying at the Tanuki Art School, hopefully some day I get to work on their Studio...) I left Discord this year as well, which I'm thankful for in retrospective, it's a blessing in disguise, makes me want to touch grass some more, and is making me waste less of my time just typing short message exchanges for several hours, and also have been hanging out at all sorts of different forums (including this one). I spend so much more time with my family by now, whereas before, I'd do nothing. But this is the year I've been trying to lock on the most with my projects and works. It's also the point and time where my drawing, mapping and modelling skills have peaked. I'm really trying to lock on this time.

Oh yeah, the fan comic I spoke of here... It's not in the works. I've been wanting to go after my will power, and my potential. I see it now. I want to work on my original works for now. It'll be on hold for a very long time. I may at least release a script of it, because that is kind of already there. Then again, I don't like releasing things that are "just okay" or that everyone can do. Everyone can make a fan-fiction, and everyone can make it just text. It's not my style. I always want to make something truly special.

I saw that Tripod died this year  , another very unfortunate Library of Alexandria event. Sadly that means a good bit of Violet's site is broken, and god knows how many SPC fansites and old sites in general.

Hopefully someone archived the midis from her music page, because they're not available on the way back machine, and the forum post about the midis lead to dead links as well.

I was planning on making my own MIDI files, designed for Roland SC-88 Pro. Afterall... I am that MIDI addict. 
The ones I find around the internet just sound kinda amateur, obviously just designed for the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth.

Sounds awesome, would be interested to hear the results.

Thats unfortunate.

I would reupload my old Gatos Samurai site but even Wikipedia has more info that it does.

I guess I could add some old fanfics in Spanish but I do not have permission of the authors.

That would be neat.

I was worried the forum died for good last time, thank god it got fixed.

Currently doing alright, getting more into listening to punk music and music in general really. Had a goal for this year to experience 100 new (to me) pieces of media (mostly movies and albums so far) and I've made it past 80 according to my Hobonichi Techo.

Also there's a deer sitting at the house across the street, so that's cute.

I am happy the forum is back.

Currently playing a fan port of Deltarune for Android as the Ps Vita one is unfinished.

Damn, this forum is not dead? What a relief.

So in my lurkings on Twitch, I found a D-Mac....or at least I think that I did! Rockoon was using the joint account and after digging through to Bluesky, I knew that I recognised the name - also found a Mechadon on Bluesky too!

Like damn man, I didn't think that I'd ever see a ghost from the past while I was lurking in a friend's stream; it does make me wonder to how the other ye olde members are doing, if they're still alive and kicking

[rapappathepepper]

I'd imagine they are still alive and kicking, just not here y'know.

Was thinking that before I get to work on my original Eastern Western project comic, I'd go back and do that Samurai Pizza Cats comic I once talked about here. I'd like to test my speed for writing and drawing, now that I've become much better at speed.
