#125 - It's Been a Year

 Hello everybody! It has officially passed a whole year since I started this blog. I would say "yay" but that means I should have over 350 posts by now... As y'all see, I have less than half. I've been quite busy with real-world stuff, primarily helping my cousin get her house clean an empty in preparation for the move out of there. I've also gotten more done on 400 Tiny Books and the Stories Within... but kind of hit a standstill at 259 total entries right now. My last one was from December 20- it's already been a week. :/ I'm sure I'll get back to it soon, I still want the main 400 entries completed by next July and it's still feasible to hit that amount. I have 194 days to go and only 141 entries left.

Ready for April Fool's Day? I'm working on it, despite having four months to go. I aim to release at least 12 videos that day- one at every hour. It'll be hilarious to me to have so many videos release on the same day. :P I started on three different videos so far, but none are complete and rendered. It's a slow process, but as long as I am consistent then I'll get all the videos done in time. Probably.

NUT has become my favorite animation studio. Why? They debuted with The Saga of Tanya the Evil in 2017- which is my third favorite anime of all time (behind Kiniro Mosaic and School-Live in the top spot). But they also worked on a couple of the FLCL seasons (which isquite a fascinating series) and Deca-Dence, which I saw just recently on December 6. Deca-Dence is quite a cool series and held onto my interest well. Unlike most anime that are adaptions, Deca-Dence is original and I think is worth watching. The characters, events, and worldbuilding were well-crafted, I say.

I finally got back to writing more of my latest Quickwrite book. It's the big Robotics Club completion and I am having a lot of fun with it. I spent a fair amount of time setting up for it in the previous Quickwrites, so getting back to writing with such a big event as this is an epic return, I say. It technically isn't much of classic Quickwrite though, because this one will be the longest single Quickwrite I ever written- currently at five typed pages. Truthfully, I didn't want the competition to be skimmed, so I'm just making it super long to fit all the details I want to. I'm thinking tomorrow I'll finish it, or at least get another big chunk of it completed. For as much as I'm having fun with this competition, I still need to continue on with the important story afterward.

Oh yeah, the title of this post is a reference to "The Best Thing" by Reliant K. Thank you all for reading. Bye!

#131 - Minecraft Parodies Like It's 2014

 Hello everybody! Looks like I'm back at it again writing another post. Know what I've been doing? Listening to old Minecraft songs and parodies, primarily from 2012-2014. I remember these well from my early years of Minecraft. But as I sit here today, I realize 2014 was eleven years ago. Time really goes zoom when you're not looking. Anyway, I've been listening to ThnxCya's Love, Lost and Found  EP that was released this past summer. There's some pretty cool stuff on there, including demos and unreleased songs I never heard before. He never made too many songs (like ZexyZek or Minecraft4Meh) so it's real easy to get through all of his for both Minecraft and Call of Duty. I've also been listening to Phantaboulous's songs, and as much as I enjoy them, it bothers me so much that he had two CDs being sold all the way until 2021-ish. It wasn't until 2023 that I decided I wanted to buy them. Makes me mad that I had 7-8 years to acquire both CDs, but n...

#135 - The Lor(e) Party

 Hello everybody! I was recently gifted a copy of The Lost Subways of North America , which I've been wanting to acquire for a while. It's a great book, but my Notch it gets tiring to hold because of how large it is. I was gifted it around the same time as Look Who's Back  and  Evangelion 3.0 + 1.11 . With that aside, time to update y'all on my Content Warning DVD. I haven't started it yet  but I do at least have all the videos ready to go, including one to be used for the main menu background. Hopefully I get to play more tomorrow (more on that later) but anything new will be added to the next DVD, alongside some other recordings that didn't have to be on the first disc. I've still be playing some Crab Champions, but not as much. I have this one run that's been going a good 16 hours or so and oh boy, I'm looking forward to starting something new at this point. I'm already close to Island 550. Tomorrow, May 31st will be a big day for me. My YouTu...

#132 - Capes Galore

 Hello everybody! Today Mojang started bringing over Bedrock Edition exclusive capes to Java. Currently, the Founders and Pan Cape were copied with the possibility of the Progressive Cape as well. It'd be nice if they also brought Java capes over to Bedrock because I would like if my Minecon 2016 were available on Bedrock. We shall see as time passes and more capes roll out. Anyway, I've been working a lot on my silly little triangle game. I finally bit the bullet and implemented community level loading. It took a whole lot of logical reasoning and going through every possible solution of what didn't  work. Eventually, I was able to export the level of the dedicated editor project and load that level in the main game itself. Now that the system works, I'll be able to take advantage of the Steam Workshop in the future so that people can easily share or download through there. The game is split into three primary components. First, there is the Living Shapes Engine. This ...
