Welcome back!




I'd like to host my own images, but I seem unable to guarantee the longevity of my own hosting, so that would end poorly.

I don't know how people do creative stuff and not hate it the whole time.

Creativity for me is usually cyclic:

- feeling good about what I create
- realizing the many flaws in what I made
- feeling bad about what I create
- improving
- see step 1

I've seen many people share the same sentiment.

When it becomes more of a habit than a effort you just do it anyway.

I seem to get stuck looping through the first three steps.

i've dealt with the dilemma of hating my creations for years because i'm the kind of person to never improve beyond drawing at a second grade level. i just find other qualities in my creations that i like instead. i am proud of the writing. so uh it cancels out and i hate myself a little less than i otherwise would

i've been writing music for about 10 years now

nearly nobody has even heard it, save for one friend of mine (who hasn't even heard my most serious, recent stuff) and a bunch of stupid irony music i wrote for my dumbass friends' internet band (i write stuff for them because i'm too insecure to show anything i write that has genuine heart in it)

i'm the master of hating everything i do, baby. it's so bad that the thought of sharing things i do with people makes me sick, makes me intensely embarrassed, and gives me intense anxiety!!!!!!!!! woo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!

occasionally i remember that i set the no-index flags for this place and wonder what that means in the long run

like the main thing everyone wanted back then was SEO and we're doing the exact opposite of that

hm.

I got inspired to do some romhacking today. That was nice, despite having oodles of free time due to plague I haven't really done much this year, it was nice to just...want to do something.

I keep reaching for a non-existent Like button if you're taking suggestions.

What are you working on? I coincidentally also did some rare, minor romhacking yesterday (if we can consider hexing some uncompressed text for a dumb joke to be "hacking")

On the one hand, it's a way to stick it to the man. We don't need no stinkin' search engines! On the other, think of how many communities have been found by an errant search.

And on the first hand again, if anyone could just find Jul, it wouldn't be "just us", would it (Now there's a dumb question from someone who is not a part of the original us!)?

There's been an influx of new blood into the AW community in the last six months or so, and some of them do streaming PvPs, and I was helping one of them with an event hack for Halloween (which was pretty fun).

So they're doing a holidays hack and wanted me as a CO for funsies, so I put something together for them. Just felt nice to write some ASM again.

If I had to guess, the only forums that get any clicks from search engines are probably Reddit and Q&A sites like Stack Overflow.

Are you looking to grow the community as large as possible, or is there a sweet spot?

Huh. Coincidentally, I ran in to the AW fan community like 6 months ago when I was revisiting 1 and 2, my personal favorites. I was surprised to see it still had some health to it after all this time. I should probably check out that Halloween hack...
