Youtube recommended me a random video from some small youtuber I'd never heard of playing a game called PissQuest and I made the insane realization that the person who made the game is a friend of mine that I lost contact with after he graduated a few years ago

So go play that game I guess lol

The fact that this year is almost over is kind of crazy, definitely the most important year of my life so far, and it will most certainly be a while before it gets overtaken by different one

Pretty weird considering how for me it felt like every month has zoomed by with the exceptions of August, November and December

This year definitely hasn't been kind to me though, lots of bad stuff happened at the beginning and end of this year for me that has made it a very difficult year to get through, and that's not even mentioning all of the stress from January-May, or other life issues from 2023 that carried it's way over into 2024. I definitely reached the lowest I've ever been mentally this year and it was not fun to endure in the slightest

That being said though it hasn't all been bad, it was a great year for my hyperfixations lol, I found many of my new favorite games and series to watch, and pretty much everything that could distract me from the stress did so very well lol, not to mention my art has improved quite a bit from last year, and overall my mental health has improved significantly since the first half of this year

This is also the first year I've taken a resolution seriously, I tried to go no more than 2 weeks without working on anything art related, going through art block twice this year certainly made it difficult but I've succeeded even though there's a few days left in the year lol

Anyway to summarize all of this

TLDR; This year was very rough for me, especially at the beginning, but the second half wasn't so bad

I hope next year goes much better, but I'll wait to see how that pans out lol, if I'm lucky I might be able to go a full week into the year without something bad happening this time!!!

...Seriously though, I can't remember a time where I was able to make it past January 7th without something bad happening... I think I might have the worst luck ever lol

Hopefully 2025 will be at least a decent year lol

(Update: I was not successful in making it through the first week of the new year without something bad happening, the curse lives on)

I have officially joined the dark side

I've finally started making an animation

(It will be much higher quality than just outlines lol)

Got scouted gamers

That's good I think

Goomy is my favorite pokemon of all time so if you see anybody who has made art of Goomy anywhere, I must be informed, I love the little snail pokemon so damn much you have no idea

I would also like to know of any art anyone makes of the character Turnip Boy from the games: Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank

I love both of those characters dearly so if I am not getting art of one of the two of them pumped into my veins on a daily basis I will explode into a million pieces like the miscreant I am

Thank you for understanding

I am no longer a minor
