Still slightly sick, which sucks. I got my SIIvaGunner subpage to a place where I'm happy with sharing it with the wider SG community (though I haven't yet), as well as updating my music page to a record collection page. I still need to add my CDs to the page, but that can be done later. I've also been spending time with my brother and my grandma's dog.
Outside of the website, I've been lazy. Serious CMMK videos have taken a backseat to the site, though I have made some progress on the second Danganronpa video. It's looking to be extremely long, and given the sub-10 view counts of some of the stuff I've been putting out lately, I can't say I'm exactly excited to return to it. CMMK has felt different since my falling out with Moni, but I do still enjoy working with Lags and MariGunner on the project. It just sucks that so much of it is shit I feel like I can't return to.
I'm still upset about the five videos I wont be able to upload.
I've brought this up elsewhere, but I'm frustrated with Moni's success with her new ripping channel, especially compared to CMMK's languishing. She kicks me to the curb and gets to have it all, feels like. I would probably have a better time moving past this if I wasn't reminded by people in the various ripping community Discord servers I'm in relatively frequently, but y'know it is what it is.
Haven't played much outside of recording for CMMK, despite editing slowing to a crawl Lags and I have stayed in contact and played various titles. Booted up an emulator and a bunch of bottom of the barrel SNES titles, as well as playing some epic Fortnite. Even though I suck at Fort, I do quite enjoy it.
Still relistening to a lot of Kanye and making my way through my collection. I bought Cross by Justice not to long ago and it finally arrived, Listened to it all the way through, and it was as good as I remembered. I also bought Alive 2007 online, and it should come here in a few weeks. I'm very excited for that. My friend Lags has apparently been on an Aphex Twin kick as of recent, and while I haven't listened to much of Aphex Twin's discography, I do like what I've heard. I actually saw the Richard D. James album in a store, but they were asking $26 for it, so I didn't buy it. I was really dissapointed I couldn't get it for a reasonable price in person.
I think my favorite Kanye West songs as of late have been Flashing Lights, Champion, and Stronger. Graduation is such a good album. It really sucks the fall off Kanye has had since.
I think overall, things have been going pretty well, despite my continued sickness, I've been able to do a lot of stuff, and people seem to really enjoy my website (even though "people" is really only one person who commented some nice words on my Neociites profile about the Charlie Kirk vigil page, lol) I'm glad people enjoy what they see, and I'm really glad to meet people through Neocities and be able to be passionate about web design again. Updating my liked music page to a record collection page was really fun, though recreating the spines of the records was a real pain in the ass. actually figuring out how to do what I wanted in CSS though, that was hype.
Anyways, I hope to actually lock in on Danganronpa ep2 this week and hopefully get it out, but knowing me I'll get distracted with other projects, either here or elsewhere.
I think the big question now is what sorts of blog posts I'll make now that I have this /now page, but ultimately I'm sure with time it'll come to me. I've always faced indecision with this site since the start. I'm sure that with time I'll figure it out.
Currently staying at Grandma's with my Mom and brother, it's been very nice reconnecting. I'm also reunited with some of my stuff, (namely my CD player), and I've been listening to a lot music through it. I've also been sick for these last few days, so I've been fighting that off. I'm feeling better now, but still have a nasty cough.
I'll be honest, being sick has been kicking my ass. I haven't had much time to work on anything aside from ripping, especially since coming to grandma's. I need to get back to work on the KVGM finale and CMMK Live, but I've been busy with other stuff. Mostly ripping for my friend MariGunner for an upcoming event. I'm excited to share some of the rips I made when they release.
I recently purchased the game Death Road to Canada, as it was only $3 on Steam. I may make a video on it one of these days, y'know, if I stop sucking complete ass at it LMAO.
Since I can finally listen to all my CDs and records on higher-end hardware, I've been listening to some of my favorite albums. I listened to Random Access Memories by Daft Punk, as Well as Kanye's Graduation and Yeezus. It really sucks how far Kanye's fallen since these albums, both in the obvious way and lyrically.
I can't wait to go to one of the record stores nearby, as it has an insane collection to browse through. Currently think the next album I want to get is Alive 2007 by Daft Punk, and Year Zero by Nine Inch Nails on CD if I can find it. I know that the vinyl version is going for like several hundred at this point, which sucks since I don't know if there will be a pressing any time soon.
Outside of that, I've been doing pretty well. I need to update the SiIvaGunner pages here soon, but that can wait. In the meantime I'll hopefully see the Michael Jackson biopic since I've heard most people seem to like it. My mom is a big MJ fan (and also obsessed with watching videos about his life) so it'll be interesting, though I know it only goes up to the 90s and mostly ignores the allegations surrounding him. I'm just hoping it's good.
My mother, who has been living in Wyoming, is finally moving to Michigan with the rest of us. To say I'm excited is an understatement. I'm hoping we can do some stuff during the rest of the summer. Otherwise things have been kinda boring since college got out.
I've been ripping again after a long hiatus, I've been trying to properly send off KVGM, as well as make rips for an upcoming event on my friend's channel. I've also been working on-and-off on the second Danganronpa video, but it's taking a while to come out. I'm around halfway done with it, and there's still like 4 hours of content to get through. I'm also making more collages, which I'll upload here soon.
mostly working on various projects, but need to lock in on website stuff here soon.
