Back again, again!!!
Awkward,,,
OK, so, since it's been forever since I've made one of these, let's go through all the stuff that's happened since... DECENBER?!?!?
January 2026 - Evermore Keycore (Part I)
OK I don't actually remember anything noteworthy that happened on January specifically. HOWEVER, Back in Late November/December, I started work on a new Multi-EP Project, which at the time didn't have a name, but eventually became a project I've dubbed "Evermore Keycore". The goal of it is to explore the FL Keys sound further, whilst also telling a story. A story about me... And also not me!!! It will be cool I promise. Anyways, I also intend on remaking some older songs from Eiffel Keys, including instrument borrowings. You'll hear heavy influences from Butter Catastrophe and Berg BreakR in here, and hopefully aspects of other songs will find their way into here as time goes on!
February 2026 - Cursed Desktop and Overseas CD Shipping
It was this month that I figured out that... My "ny desktop" just fucking sucks. Seriously, I think it might be a RAM issue, but that shit's expensive now, and if it's the motherboard, not only would I have wasted all of that money, but I'd also have to buy what would be the THIRD motherboard for this case, and I'm not doing that. I'm done. I'm just. DONE.
So, I backed up all of my files from the computer, and put it away. I had gotten a nice monitor for it and finally got to make good use of my keyboard, but now I have no use for either of them. It sucks, too, all the money that was spent trying to get this broken pile of dream together could've been spent on just another laptop. Hell, it probably could have afforded me a Framework Laptop. More on that later though :3
Oh but also the ARGUABLY MORE IMPORTANT THING THAT HAPPENED THIS MONTH is that I got a copy of an album I've been wanting for FUCKING EVER. "Mooncalves" by Retractable. I HAVE IT! A PHYSICAL COPY!!!!!! The only complete copy of the album I know of besides some russian file uploading website. I forgot it's name. SOrry. But yeah, I LOVE this album, it's as good as I expected, from the ONE song that Jenny McLesbian upload onto YouTube. I had to spend a hundred dollars on the CD though 3: hopefully I can get a physical copy of SunFleur, too, I love that shit and have loved it for years now, I'd kill for a physical CD copy.
I've also started a CD collection in general, and moreso a wishlist. Some noteworthy CD's I'm actively looking for are "Wermland" by Detektivbyrån, "Sunfleur" by I'mNotTypingAllOfThoseSemicolons45, and "Nonagon Infinity" by King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard. Maybe also "Murder of The Universe", but honestly, if I HAVE to extend my KGLW picks to more than one CD, I'll end up picking them all. I can't do that to myself.
March 2026 -
I can't remember anything from this month. Was this when Stage Tour was announced, or was that in April? idr. I think PvZ3 also softlaunched this month, but like. Who tf cares atp it sucks. Just. No.
April and May 2026 - Progression, Friendships, Transitivity, and... Chunks?
Since I'm merging the past week into this, there's a LOT to talk about here.
For one, AuZ had an update, adding Eggurt. He's interesting, but keeps making my game crash as of recent. sobbing. Also CBT re-run, gotta love that. Holy hELL, I really keep forgetting just how unforgiving CBT-XII is. Honestly, if you like PvZ at all, you should give this mod a try. It's. Actually just fucking perfect idc. If you like PvZ2 specifically then you'll probably like Reflourished more, but AuZ has a much more comfortable playstyle for me and it's. Oh god I can't.
I've been doing really well with food dieting and daily walks, I think. I've recently gone on multiple walks a day, and it's been really enjoyable. Also, since all I've been eating is small microwavable meals and chicken, my twice-a-month grocery store trips have been mostly under $100, which is actually really good because I've been trying to save up money in general, and I can FINALLY do that now, and it feels great. I still gotta get a job though. I still gotta learn how to drive, too. but shuttup I'm not there yet, I just got in the habit of brushing my teeth after every meal.
Speaking of money, I bought a Blåhaj. FINALLY!!!! Oh yeah and also a table to more comfortably use my laptop on. I don't wanna ouchie my back. Old grandma me would hate current me so much for doing that. but BLÅHAJ! OMG I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!!!! Wish I had the courage to come out to my family. I should work on the shaving tho omg
Been making a lot of friends on the AuZ and Agma Schwa Discord servers lately. It's been really nice, for the most part. This is the most social my life has been since high school, and honestly, I need it. I can actually be meselfs, rather than. What I am currently irl. Which. Yeah. I. Uh. Yeah.
Final thing I wanna talk about is, as I meantioned earlier- Oh wait I should probably explain what I meant by "Chunks" first
SO, in Agma Schwa's Discord server, there's a modded Minecraft server there that focuses on worldbuilding and geopolitics, and it's been really fun to watch everything that happens there. Recently, I've kinda gotten a Minecraft itch again (albeit, it's mainly to go back to my Alpha and accidental 1.21.iforgor world lmao) and I'm thinking about joining the server at some point. Being a linguistics server, many of the people there have also made constructed languages (or conlangs, you make your own language basically) for their nations, and I thought it would be fun to make one, too. Thing is, I thought it would be REALLY funny to have a nation the size of one (1) chunk, and because of that, what better basis to use for a conlang than chunks? So, I welcome Chunk onto this programmer's planet! It's not gonna be fancy or complex or anything, just smth to have fun worldbuilding with. I'll likely make a section of my website dedicated to it once I have developed it enough to do so. That'll be fun!!!
ok I can't ignore it any longer, yes. I also spent a fuckton on a Framework laptop. MOre specifically, a Laptop 13. I'm not spending twice as much on a Laptop 16 lmfao. Anyways, this laptop has many benefits that I like, and if I told you them all, you'd probably think you were reading the script to a sponsored video, so I won't do that. I also haven't even gotten it yet, but it's shipped, so I'll either get it today or Monday. I chose translucent green for the screen and usb c module. I wish we could get custom coloured modules for at least the USB-A ports, I really like how it looks. Actually, I wouldn't mind having a Mac G5 styled laptop in general, tbh. I wish modern tech had that whimsical beauty to it like mid 2000's stuff had. I'd be much more excited about this stuff. This laptop is gonna replace the Desktop that I had and the Linuxified Chromebook I've been using in the meantime. Well, not linux anymore. It now has FreeBSD, and I may eventually try putting Arch on it. Not for the Framework laptop though, I think I'll just use Fedora on it since Arch isn't listed as being conveniently supported. That's fine though, I like Fedora. I think my dad does too, but idk. Maybe he's just excited that I used a Red Hat Linux distro. He was even more excited about the FreeBSD thing. Yeah, I'm good at copying commands off a guidebook, you don't wanna mess with me :sunglasses:
So what now?
Website is staying as-is. I'm not gonna just yeet it to find something better that I never will. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
still don't like website UI designing with it though. ew.
I can't guarantee consisten posts anymore, and I haven't worked on that WIP YT thing since my desktop went crine. Once I get my Framework Laptop setup, I'll likely get back on that sooner or later and finish the YT post archive. After that, the only reason I'll keep the account alive is for the upcoming CCC5! I'm making a CC5 Lang! Well, I'm SUPPOSED TO BE. Turns out, making it is actually really hard due to the premise. It might even have to be pushed to CCC6, and that's a bit worrying. Other than THAT though, I'll probs just make the video itself publically available to download for otehr to reupload it so I can delete my YT channel afterwards. OK I'll probs archive the playlists also but. whatever.
ANyways, that's all I can think of for now. Hopefully I'll show up later! Maybe if Discord breaks again I'll feel like it! IDK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also hi Mex :3
