The Return of the Blog

So this is a bit awkward. I'm gonna try to blog again. Why you may ask? Welp for context, I started to blog around the end of 2021, and stopped around early/mid 2023 for various reasons. Maybe it was because a good chunk of my posts had quirky, unprofessional writing? Maybe I was worn out and thought blogging wasn't my thing at the time? I dunno, but regardless, I'm gonna try to bring it back.

Another reason why it's coming back is me trying all sorts of sites to be on for the hell of it. After all, Twitter (no, I'm not calling it X) is hitting the shitter due to meme inventor man implementing all kinds of dumb policies and decisions into the site. A lot of people are migrating to other sites such as Bluesky (which I'm also on) and so forth, but I thought it would be funny to bring back this blog as another way for me to express stuff about myself, regardless of game dev or any other project.

I kinda wish I was in the late 90s/Y2K when .plan files we're a thing. Basically a UNIX code updating system made in the 60's or so, turned into a proto-social media platform courtesy of John Carmack. There's a whole archive of various game devs from this time frame (i.e. from id Software, 3D Realms, etc) who used .plan files to not just talk about stuff they we're working on in said studio, but also just stuff about their life. Real life shenanigans; movies, TV, music, anime, and other stuff they want to talk about. And with an infinite character limit compared to most social media sites limiting themselves to 100 characters or so. Yes, blogging is like .plan files, but I swear .plan files felt a little more social media-esque compared to blogs.

Regardless, I want to use it to REALLY talk about a lot of things, but I will also try to talk about a bunch of stuff on social platforms too. And of course, updates on stuff I work on (i.e. CyberAnima) are also talked here. Long dev posts, if you will.

Thanks for reading, hopefully I can post a lot of crap here. 😊

FYI: I know the site says it's unsecured. This isn't some custom blogging engine or anything, I'm using Blogger (a Google thing) and I linked my blog to my domain, and somehow it's not allowing it to be certified. This site is not shady, and I will try to figure out a way to resolve it. Apologies.
