Hey there, sorry for keeping y'all in the dark with my journal posts. I also wanted to bump the other one off of my userpage, so here I am. That said, where do I begin... Lots of crud happened since my last journal, especially the ongoing covid pandemic. I'm doing ok for the most part though. I'm definitely going to try getting vaccinated, given I go out for errands pretty often and I'm part of a certain risk group. Anyway, there were some positive and some negative events that happened since my last journal. I'll start off with the positive.

I'd made some progress on my build from a couple of years ago and it now has a Completed Build page on PCPartPicker: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/Tn4nTW I also got a Rift S last year so I can do some cool VR stuff. I actually hadn't used it in a while but I had made a thing with it that I haven't uploaded here yet (will do so soon).

Also, I'd recently got into retro game repair, having fixed some of my own N64 and Xbox stuff. I can give y'all a look into what I did so far:

In addition, I've also started vtubing recently. Yes, you've read right! I've been streaming lately with my own sona who also has their very own Live2D rig! I will also be showing that off here soon. As for the kind of stream content I do, I consider myself a variety streamer, streaming different kinds of video games both retro and modern alike. I'll maybe also do the occasional art or chat stream. For the time being you can follow my Twitch channel, where I usually do these livestreams: https://www.twitch.tv/sertimusthechao

I stream every week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, though this schedule can be subject to change as my life situation changes throughout the year. In addition, I also have a YouTube page that is home to all of my stream VODs, especially so they aren't subject to the 14-day storage period on Twitch. You can check that out here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZlJbvbDcdggBuFEmBLG8zg

That said, I'm gonna get to the negatives. Uni last semester was a dud and not in a way I was expecting. It kind of broke me mentally. I think I might even be experiencing executive dysfunction? It's not limited to just difficulty with my schedule and time management either; I also seem to misplace my personal items more lately and have some memory-related issues. In addition, I've been having trouble keeping my room clean/organized and keeping it that way consistently.

Aside from that I've been feeling less interested in the programming thing since that dud from last year; not entirely, though. I'd really like to get back into it more, though I'm just not feeling in the right mindset at the moment. Also, I had a good friend of mine pass away from covid recently and he's been on the mind a lot lately. I'm trying my best other than that. Too many things happening. 9_6

As for art, I've made some lately! Some of it is for my vtubing streams, some of it was made outside of my vtubing stuff. There are probably some older stuff I'd been meaning to upload too but haven't; other than that, not much. I'll queue some up in the meantime and have them uploaded soon.
