Hey guys! Ggando back again with some more updates for you all! I apologize if these updates are showing up at the end of the month. But I have really been busy lately, and I don't see that changing
So anyways. I have been contemplating a lot this past month or so. This website has been something I've had since 2023, and just exploring the pages brings me back to much simpler times when I used to make Image Animations with Bingus, Laura, and that one cat character from Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion. I get reminded of the times when I use to think Deporitaz was the pinnacle of human music, and I would jam to their songs and albums every day. I get reminded of when I used to create these stories about the Lemon Demon albums, these character OCs that I wanted to make for each song, the crazy imagination I had. I get reminded when I first saw the Birthday animation that Aimkid made, which got me uber addicted to the Bonus Track for Lemon Demon albums.
All of those memories were from 2023-2024, and it feels soo weird to me that I am now 18 years old, and that those memories are far too distant to me now. I essentially have to grow up now, to spread my wings and enter the world that I have ignored for the longest time. That's why when I went back to archive all those pages, I get reminded of such a more simpler time in my life where I didn't have to worry about much. This website is like a time capsule for me, I could go look at some of the pages I ignored here, and get hit with nostalgia seeing everything. It's weird that I don't get this similar vibe looking through my 2020-2022 stuff, but 2023-2024 hits me hard.
In a way, I still feel like I hadn't changed since a long time now. I still have the tendency to walk around in circles and talk to myself whilst listening to my favorite songs. I still act very awkward socially (but at least I have friends who act the same!). I still like the same things I liked before: Bonnie's Bakery now has an official discord server so that's not leaving soon, Baldi's Basics has a leaderboard for the hardest challenges so that's cool, and FNaF is still the best game ever made. And I still like a lot of things I would've liked back in 2023. Baldi's Basics Modding, Lemon Demon animations, RIP SLYME, and Girl's Night. I guess speaking of Girl's Night. One of the reasons why I really like Bop (aside from her games) is because she seems more mature and well-prepared in life than I am. She did a QnA just recently (I asked questions regarding game design and choices), and it's very interesting to seeing her response to some of these questions. A lot of them are goofy, but some are lengthy and give general insight in her thought process.
I guess I have said everything I wanted to say in my long essay or something. But I wanted to say all of this because I am preparing for my internship for a company this week (won't say which), and it has gotten me to reflect on all my past decisions and how it will affect my future. I believe I did all I could, but I admit that I missed out on a lot of golden opportunities that I wished I did to further refine my CV. It may not be perfect, but I believe this is good enough for my future.
Now anyways, I spoke a bit too much there. We haven't actually talked about some progress for my related hobbies! Let's talk about that now, shall we?
I have been having a lot of fun with Pips (from new york times games) lately, and I've been trying to create a potential Pips solver to make games easier and whatnot. Might be a cool thing to work on!
Well. I don't know what else to say other than that I am still working on my Dinosaurchestra animation. And that's kinda it :p
At this point, I do not care if I blew my potential for partnership on Youtube. I just want to finish the Ascension to Heaven thing now. I am still motivated to try and beat it, but having to force to grind will only get me demotivated
Once again, my sillyness made my find a new niche to partake in. The Baldi's Basics Challenges List! It's similar to the Max Mode List but for Baldi's Basics. And it's ultra-fun! My hardest challenge is Pinky, but I am thinking of trying out a Limbo variant someday!
My finals will be about this work immersion thing my education system has. We basically learn about what it's like to have a job, by applying to internships and such.
RIP SLYME is now fully disbanded, unfortunately. It's sad that I wasn't there whilst they were still active, but at least I was there for their departure. o7
Also refound my love for playing The Binding of Isaac. But I really do not want to get an addiction whilst I have active work I want to do
Anyways, that's it! I hope you all have a fantastic evening, and that you send me thoughts and prayers for my internship!!!
