Today I wanted to share these images of me playing on my Trimui Brick. My girlfriend got this for me for christmas, and it's the best thing ever, it can play everything up to the PSP. It's really awesome. The microsd came full of games already on it, so I have to get a new card to add larger file games (particularly visual novels on the PSP like Steins;gate and Chaos;head), but it's really awesome. I'm currently playing Pokemon Emerald in French, as me and my friend are taking the same French course at university, and he decided to play Pokemon in French to help with his studies, so I decided to join him. I name all my Mudkips "Tacotruck," so I gave this one the Francophone treatment. I'm also playing Leafgreen in Japanese. I'm really hype to start playing visual novels on this thing.

Woohoo! year of the horse! (my year). Working on reviving/updating this site after my life has gotten in the way of the real grindset (my hundreds of pages on this site). Really interesting that “neocities” has become a point of discussion the internet again. Aesthetic based obsession of the concept of “old web,” re: discussion of neocities websites that are just aesthetic displays (I believe the dokodemo site had something written about this some years back). I’m torn on the topic as someone who definitely has a hefty amount of information hosted on a site though cares a lot more about the design aspects. Generally, I lean more on genuine engagement with a medium rather than performing usage of a “platform” (if we can call something like neocities that) for some sort of cultural aesthetic identity means. I guess in general maybe I’m anti-poser/LARPer, but not exactly “anti,” again, I’m torn. I have lots of friends reviving, creating a neocities hosted site right now, which is exciting that they’re exploring that, it’s like using twitter in 2013 when none of your friends were on it, then 2017 everyone is on it (though, now, no one is on it again). Anyways, happy new year! Here’s my new journal layout this time around, quite different from how it’s been, yet still maintaining my classic usage of these icon/stickers. The feel of it will work more for what I have planned for some future pages, home page and about page total revamp coming soon :-]
