Website Stuff

In the middle of reuploading my Lost Kingdoms 2023 art challenge! Took a while to get the pages staged but finishing them off and posting is going fast
Also doing a general maintenance update and fixing all internal references to relative rather than absolute. Basically the headers and navbars were hard referencing the neocities.org pages and there's no reason to do that. I work on my PC and then import them, and the folders have the exact structure as the live site so. Doesn't need to be looking at online stuff until it's actually online.
Got ANOTHER curio idea... this one is probably the easiest on a technical level but it would be one that would basically go up and be ongoing/open forever. (I will spoil it slightly and say it's basically "where selected writing snippets go and where future ones would be stored")

Art Projects

Managed to color in Thynarail without ruining the drawing (which was an actual concern) aaaand now I'm back on the "What do I draw" path. I did at least determine that Thynarail is kinda rancid LOL. Kind of dig it because I don't have a lot of shit personality characters. Not a full antagonist (I get bored of Big Bads), just a rude-ass person.

Other Stuff

I got an extremely Big Brained idea last night. I have tons of writing stored online between Ellipsus and LegendKeeper. I also now have the power of HTML and CSS. There is really nothing stopping me from making an offline worldbuilding/story website for my use only with full details and organization. (as opposed to the stuff I pick and choose to put online). BUT DO I HAVE THAT KIND OF MOTIVATION....? that is the true question.
Video games! Playing two at once right now. #1 is Boyfriend Dungeon, which is...okay. I like the characters for the most part but the pacing is strange as fuck. There are three dungeons, I'm not even done with the second dungeon, but it seems like I can go see the final boss now, on the overworld, if I want. okaaaay. Game #2 is Lushfoil Photography Sim. Basically several locations IRL have been recreated in LAVISH detail, and you just walk around in them, taking pictures. There are challenges where you are presented with like 6 pictures and you have to go find those spots and take the picture, but really the main point of the game is just wander around and try to get pretty shots. I had bought it to take my own "reference photos" where I can control the lighting, but it's just very relaxing.

Website Updates

In an attempt to """procrastinate""" the sion info pages I ended up writing all the other initial species pages...it was like 8 of them in a couple days.
I did end up STARTING working on modern sions today and ooohhh boy. I have pages and pages and pages worth of notes so I was just going to do a summary. I thought I was going to be clever about this though, because MANY years ago I did a little species sheet which summarized them at the time, so here I was thinking I could just crib my own old summary. It turns out, because I'm not super precious about my lore and revise stuff that I don't like anymore or doesn't work, it has been revised so much that barely any of the original ref sheet is usable. Whoops.
Oh Well. I'm looking at this again and I agree with all the stuff I dropped, lmao. They are much more interesting now, to me. Just stinks that I am going to have to freshly attempt to summarize things without getting too far into the weeds or like, spoilers. There's so much stuff that I just have to dodge writing about. Like a couple extra secret subtypes besides just Architects! I just hope that I can drop enough hints throughout the whole website for people to pick up what is actually going on as far as Ahveph and modern sions go

Other News

Well In other news I have been working at it all month (January) but I finally finished BALL x PIT and got all the current achievements! It just got a free DLC update with new characters, but there aren't any cheevos tied to them.....yet. I played them a little bit (Falconer is S tier omg) but I don't think I have the strength to go through all the levels again right now. Great game though
Need to finish Lies of P next. I got mostly through the DLC but stopped at the secret boss to obsess over BALL x PIT. I am not super thrilled by that boss so I might just skip it. Otherwise I think its a cool game. Really dig what they have going on with the narrative and can't wait to actually finish the game just to see where it goes.
Unknown what game next! I want to work through some of the stuff I already have installed but I already forgor

404 Image Progress

Completed, final title is "Are You Lost?"
Cleaned up, prepared for website

Banner Image

Worked through a couple different thumbnails, think I have one that's going to work.
Ideally I'd like to be able to resize/reuse it for multiple places (DA banner for example)
Trying very hard not to overcomplicate it though. It is probably going to have a bunch of leaves on it; even more so than the 404 image lmao

Other news

Apparently my salt was so great that I started on and off playing NG+ on FF14, starting with ARR. Yes, all the way to the beginning lol. Actually, its extremely enjoyable at x10 speed when you can fly everywhere and solo all duties they give you in 3 min or less. I now remember why I liked this game. I feel like I can focus on the story more, they really throw a lot at you while expecting you to Vibe for a bit on the different maps.
Felt like playing an FPS so I picked out Singularity from my backlog. Aside from no subtitles and some weird control mapping (which you can rebind), I like it a lot so far. Too bad it undersold when it was released!

Alright, some background, I played FF14 for about two years straight, then burned myself out at the beginning of last year. I have still been playing attention to updates though, and resubbed for the latest moogle treasure trove because I really wanted two of the TT cards. I then decided to go through Dawntrail while the sub was still active because, you know, I paid for it.

Anyway I finished 7.3 last night and here are a couple thoughts on the experience as a whole
