It's not the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

It's been... quite a year, hasn't it?

I know I have a nasty habit of just up and disappearing, but this time around, it's almost like the world was the one pulling a vanishing act.

If anyone out there still comes here, and is reading this, I sincerely hope you're doing okay. Are you sleeping well? Getting enough to eat?

Since we last got together, I tried to "hit the continue button", and in turn, to resume my life. But you ever experience a setback that causes you to lose a bunch of progress, and suddenly you're back at an earlier part of the game? That's what my brain did, and suddenly, I had all sorts of anxiety and negative thoughts floating around my head again, as if I was back almost a decade or so ago.

And let me tell you, though my love for vintage anime and games is no secret, this was one point in the past I was absolutely fine not reliving.

But since the pandemic started, I gradually shifted back into my super NEET habits, and ended up feeling like a mess for a while. But as of late, I feel like I'm slowly making my way back out. Everyone else is trying really hard to get through all this, so I have to do my best too.

And so! I've decided to dust off the ol' blog and finally put some fun stuff on here, like the good ol' days.

Since this is 2020, I figured I'd try something new, and just start embedding the stuff from twitter onto here. While I feel as though I've less worth really writing about these days, I feel as though some of the research I do for twitter at least should be somehow catalogued. I've got this blog, so I may as we get some use out of it, right?

And so, I shall continue doing my thing, and spreading joy through the powers of prose, sound and gaming.

... speaking of which, if you haven't already noticed about my move to twitter as my primary platform, I've been posting some gameplay and science now and then. Please feel free to like, subscribe, follow, and retweet!

"Hey Duckie, ever hear of 'Slam Dancing'?"

Found a fun AI loop in #FatalFury Special: if Duck is far enough from the player, he'll always try to Dancing Dive over a Power Wave (A). At the right distance, he'll land right into throw range. This can be repeated on wakeup.#NeoGeo pic.twitter.com/D5vAHAAbSK

Wall Kicks Will Work.
Side Somersaults Sometimes Suffice.
