Look upon the stars...

Honestly... this is working out a bit, I think.
The romance was definitely just some muscle that I had to stretch. It might be too early to say but... I feel like this is gonna work out well. I feel like I'm warming up to everything a bit, too, but I might just be in a good mood because of this all. I think I really needed this. They call me "Pumpkin" too... which I honestly really like!! It makes me so happy to hear this, and I'm kind of feeling mushy just thinking about this stuff.

Well... I turned 17 years old between now and the last post.
I'm not sure how to feel about this. Adulthood is creeping up on me... I did buy a bunch of games, though, since my parents gave me plenty of cash. I think that that's fun, even though quite a few of them will be neglected. Oh well.

I'm feeling weird today. Today, a friend confessed to me about having a crush... and, well, I obliged. I haven't been in a real relationship, and since this is going to be long-distance, it'll be more difficult on me, but I think I'm going to try my best and reciprocate. I do love them dearly, but I hope more feelings come up aside from the warm fuzzies from thinking about cuddling and etc... I mostly say this out of concern, considering the fact that I haven't really felt romantically attracted to someone a long time. I do want to be there for them, and give them the time and attention they would need for something like this, frankly, I do actually like the idea of dating them, I just don't really know where to start on something like this... I feel I have issues with consistently communicating with people or actually being THERE rather than like, I don't know, around, if that makes sense? I think we will turn out fine and that I will develop some more refined feelings towards them as things go on.

That aside, I haven't really been working on anymore projects. I mainly have ideas, if anything. I did consider working on an RPG that I've had in mind for a while, or perhaps a sequel/spin-off game of some shitty top-down roguelike I had. It was made in like 2022 and honestly it's really ass, but managed to inspire my friend nonetheless. This said spin-off would be akin to the game that Ivysly released called EVIL EGG. It's a pretty fun game, and what I have in mind would be less rigid like EVIL EGG is, and maybe more randomized. I dunno, we'll see if I actually finish it and what not. It's probably just gonna be something to work on if I'm bored in class... I know, such a delinquent, not paying attention in class, but I'm usually way caught up on my work... so it's not that bad.

Anywho. Sorry if this comes off kind of blunt, especially if you're reading this in the future, I'm just kind of tired today and have been thinking a bit. I may come back to the site in the future to FINALLY update the front page, or I may just write more blogs. I might make all the blog posts on this page like a list or a dropdown, that way they all start collapsed, then you can expand the one you want, or just skip to whatever one you want to read... that's mainly for the future, when I have more posts, though. Also!! I'm very excited for December. I love Christmas time, it's so festive!!

Oops. I forgot to make a blog post again, huh?
This time, I've come to talk about the page itself. I have been properly learning HTML and CSS for school, so I may hit this website with some touch-ups and what not.
I think I should start styling the website with the space theme I want to build. I also need to get a better background for this page, or even render a custom one... I also need to make a proper front page for the site, rather than just having the Neocities tutorial slop there. Possibly expect that soon.

Now, onto my projects...
I'm not working on anything at the moment. Anything mentioned in my last blogs were dropped soon after the blog was posted. I know it's unfortunate that this has happened, but it's part of my work cycle.
Really, it's a habit that I should break, but most of this stuff is for fun, anyways. Commitment be damned.

Now, I have actually garnered an idea for a NEW project. I want to write a Sci-Fi story (mildly inspired by Red Rising) centered around my original species, the Voidborn/Voidlings.
It wouldn't be very long, in fact, it would probably be a short story, or a series of short stories... but we'll see. This idea has been rattling around in my head for about a month, and I should really start to write things down and worldbuild. It would take place in a more-violent-than-not world, with combat focused around explosive magic (from the Voidlings) and melee weapons, very showy stuff. Perhaps it would be a story of two factions, one who wants to preserve the dimension they inhabit, and another, who wants to fulfill the Void's desire. There will be more lore on the Void and Voidlings once I get my front page sorted out.

Anyways, I don't think I have anything else to write, so this will be it. Good night, and I hope you got something out of reading this!

Man, has it already been 2 weeks since I last updated this?
A lot has gone on since then. Mainly, I finished Homestuck... what a doozy :sob:
I liked Homestuck a lot, but WOW is it needlessly complicated at times.

On other news... I've been a little busy aside from Homestuck. I've been gaining ideas for some shitty object show I've been making at random.
I'm thinking like, a survival game show kind of like Naked and Afraid mixed with The Hunger Games. It should prove to be interesting?

I've also made a Last.fm account. I thought it would be a cool thing to look back on or share with friends.
Profile is here...
I think it's funny they chose the word "Scrobbling". It's very funny sounding.

Also, touching back on the Hot Lava demake in TIC-80. I haven't been working on it, BUT I have thought of ways to handle some of the things I have to do in it. So I should be able to get it done when I work on it again.

Also, I looked into the dynamic boxes for one second and realized how obvious the size thing is :sob:...

Well, that's everything I can think of at the moment. Have a good day!!

Hmmm...
I'm considering redesigning this page to just link to each individual blog post rather than have it be a long string of these.
Hopefully I could make some modular system to do that... since I've actually just been editing this one HTML :sob:
Not really sure how to set that up yet, though, so I would have to do quite a bit of research.

On other news, I started to work on a game in this Fantasy Console called TIC-80... I wanted to do PICO8, but that costs money. Which I don't have to spend on that.
It seems to support a lot of programming languages, Lua being its main one, and the one I've been using. This is just because I know Lua best, lol...
I don't know why, but the idea of programming for a limited console just stuck out for me. I think it's a good way to learn, I suppose... since in reality, I'm not actually that great at coding! I mean, look at this page... Or, well, I guess scroll down and look at the old screenshot of it... if you're reading in the future and I made this actually look good.

Tangent aside, I'm not going to delve too much into the specifics of the game at the moment, but it's kind of a demake..? If you can consider it that? Because the original was programmed on Scratch, but I'm making this in Lua, but I'm using a limited retro engine..?? Does that even really count? Like a half demake?
I dunno. I just had a spur of the moment thought to do some limited retro programming. And so I did. Hopefully I can get this project done! I should be able to...

Also, I really gotta get these boxes to be formfitting... Maybe I should just start doing it manually? Or maybe just calculate the height based on the amount of lines in the paragraph... Either would work.

Either way, I'm gonna go figure out what I have to do in the demake or just go to bed and grind it out tomorrow.

Hi! I kind of neglected my website a bit, but that's besides the point.

So, I'm kind of thinking about voice acting. I enjoy it, but I do need to get a bit of practice in. Hopefully, I think I found a small gig for a "Scratch Direct."
Basically, this is kind of like a Nintendo Direct, but for Scratch... The programming website. I've applied to be a host.
It basically just shows off WIP games or other projects. I just found it and thought it would be something cool to do some work on. I'm not gonna pass up something to do.

In other news, I've been looking into making Artcore music, as I'm hopelessly addicted to it.
I made a small piece that isn't Artcore, but is kind of in that vein.

I love rhythm games!!

You know, I was thinking... This whole website making thing really isn't actually that hard! This site is really shaping up to how I want it.
It might not be the best right now, but it's turned out a lot better, a lot faster than I thought it would! Thank god for the internet.

So for this page, I have the boxes now, right... But now I need to figure out how to make them stretch vertically to contain the blog posts, rather than just being a big box and giving me a limited space to type.
That's it. I got nothing else to say about this. BUT I did watch complete and utter peak last night... Deadpool vs Peter Griffin Rap Battle
I don't know why, but this shit is so funny... who knew rap battles could be so peak. I like the guy that made this a lot, because it's so high effort for what it is.

Okay, I just woke up not long ago. I wanted to talk about the website again, about how I want to design this website.
As you could tell by the heading, I'm going for a space theme. I'm going for one of those more cryptic, artsy websites, so, I'm gonna have to learn some CSS.
For this page, I want to have a starry background, and some blueish/purplish transparent boxes for the blog posts. Not complicated, just something clean so my blog is easy to read. I want it centered too.
Okay, that's all. I might make another blog post later, if I think of anything else to write about.

Hi! I'm just now making the website, so bear with me here. It's real ugly right now, because I don't know a lot of HTML. I know like, the bare minimum to set this up.
I thought it was time that I made myself a personal website, so I'm going to be doing it on Neocities, here! My friend DogeisCut has one, so I figured that I'd make one, too. Plus, I just wanted a blog so I can write into the void! It's just nice to put my thoughts out onto something, and I'm hoping people reading this in the future (especially friends) will be able to bring things up off of my blog, if they happen to be reading it. Very fun! I'll try to update the blog often, since it's just a place to put my thoughts.
I'll write some more tomorrow, hopefully nothing too much about the site.
For future's sake, here's what the site looks like right now.
