Aside from the creative outputs that he posted in this forum and the game he was making, I didn't get to know him too well, but man, this sucks to hear. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends, may he rest in peace.

I feel like one of the worst aspects of modern day Roblox is how corporate and boring it has become for maybe long enough and not just since the "metaverse craze" of 2021. Sure, advertising is no new thing for this place, but at least back in the early days it made more sense since most of it was headed towards kids/teens.

Answer me sincerly, what child, no, what person, regardless of their age, is sincerly invested in visiting a virtual home depot, walmart, or any other average mall instead of, y'know, the real thing.



no, shoo, bad. go back to your room and don't leave until you truly feel bad about what you have just done

Off Topic / Re: new year's resolutions?
« on: December 30, 2023, 12:34:40 AM »
Alright, let's see here

-Push myself harder: This applies to most if not all resolutions honestly. 2023 has been a loving awful year for me in many aspects, from the education side, to the emotional, the mental, with relationships, etc, all of these have left me struggling for far too long ever since the last few months of 2022 (maybe even much more than that), and I can't keep that going for much longer. That's why next year, no matter what happens to me, my friends, or my family, I'll just try to man up and keep moving forward, whatever new struggles may appear I'll face them head on instead of laying down crying no matter how big the problem may be, even if it might affect me more mentally speaking to the point of snapping, but hey, no pain no gain I guess. I just can't let this stuff kick my ass anymore.

-Get back to making more art: I haven't been drawing much for quite a while now, for reasons already mentioned and other misc. stuff like art block, personal obligations and a few distractions here and there. Honestly it has been keeping me away from something that I used to have love and passion for, and I don't want that flame to die out in just a whimper. I want to get back on that grind and possibly make this more than just a simple hobby. I'll just do anything honestly, try experimenting a bit and get out of my comfort zone, practice with studies, making silly doodles instead of always trying to make my next "big thing" after the other, build up a portfolio, and work on some more personal projects of mine. I also want to open commissions for once in my life and make some $$$ since my country's economical situation is pretty stuffty (and it might get worse) so I can spend it on personal stuff and maybe more.

-Try something new and interesting: Drawing just doesn't feel enough for me sometimes. Creatively speaking, I always wanted to make more stuff than just that, one of my biggest interests being music, since it's also something I am passionate about. Just the thought of playing/composing a song and hearing one fills me with so many ideas in my brain I can't help but get started already, but then I open stuff like FL Studio and can't help but feel more than overwhelmed, not to mention I don't own an instrument and economically I don't think I can afford one at the moment. Aside from that I also wanna venture into other stuff like 3D modelling, animation, crafts, make a small game, etc. But the biggest problem I have with all of these is that I just don't know where to even start.

-Hear some new tunes: As much as I also love music, I can't say I have heard much variety of it either. Most of what I hear/know is from more "popular" artists (Daft Punk, Gorillaz, any 80s/70s stuff that my dad has made me listen since I was a kid, etc) and I want to expand my tastes a bit more and find new stuff. I want to listen to more albums and find my own "niche" interest that I can personally rave to myself and whoever is interested enough to listen to my ramblings as well.

-Get FIT: I haven't been on the gym for a while now for personal reasons, and I believe it's time to give it a try once more since I've been out of form and I'm afraid it might affect my health in the future, one problem tho is, again, money stuff. I dunno if I'm gonna be able to spend more than just a month on it considering the fact I also have to spend on bills, food, college, and other important stuff. Just a good hour of running around the road might do the trick I guess.

-Branch myself out more: I'm not gonna lie, I have a ton of trust issues that have been affecting me since my early teens (one of the many factors maybe being this forum in particular) and they have turned in a troubled introvert with a very low sense of self-esteem. I have already tried to make new friends back in 2022 with pretty positive results!, but this year I couldn't help but feel pretty distanced from them and I fear that I might lose them like I lost many others to the point I barely have talked to them and they haven't spoke to me either. No matter how much I try, I always feel that whatever might come from my mouth might end on a negative note, and I can't let that go for longer either. I wanna talk to more people, reconnect with some old faces, and make myself more known to others. I can't handle feeling all alone again.

Despite all I have said here, at this point I have no idea if I can even make any of these resolutions a reality, none of what I've said is anything new. This is stuff I've been wanting to do for YEARS now with little to no progress, with a new problem always rising on my way and letting it get too much to me. I feel like I can't do anything without someone holding my hand and guiding me along the way, almost like I have no independence of my own. Of course I can't do anything on my own (and being alone is something I do not want at all), but I still feel like I need to spread my wings and get stuff done for once. Will I ever break this cycle?, Will I one day achive what I want?, Is it worth it? At this point I don't even know.

« on: August 14, 2023, 07:22:25 PM »
yeah and it feels like nobody is tapping into the nostalgia for these. probably because they mostly sucked in hindsight
i mean i couldn't really say they're gonna or could make a resurgance anytime soon beacuse as i said, these were very varying in quality, and people mostly remember those that would be considered the bad ones. but i still felt worth remembering myself of these for the friends i've made back then that i still talk to this day and for the "chaotic" fun i've had reading and making them, oh well.

you guys remember sprite webcomics? y'know, the ones where you took ripped graphics from games on a random website like the spriters resource and made comics with them in ms paint or photoshop? yeah! those!. i've been having my fair share of nostalgia for them over these couple of months, revisiting some oldies i used to read and some i made myself. these would vary a lot in terms of quality, you would either have something interesting or entertaining enough to keep you on your seat and keep reading, or you would have something poorly edited made by someone below 13 with "lawl so randum" humor and poor grammar, sometimes they would just use the sprites straight from the games, edit them, or they would just make entirely new stuff from scratch. but regardless of their overall quality there's some charm to be found on them these days, their simplicity, their humor, etc.

some examples i could give:




some of these would be hosted on their own websites, but a good majority of them were uploaded on other webcomic hosting sites, one of the most remarkable for me was smackjeeves.



this site was my stuff back then. sure, you could post your own drawn original works, but back then there was a big number of sprite comics hosted there before other different comics were trending there. some of my favourites there were the ones with a big number of co-authors, where all of their characters would participate in one big story on random places, sometimes it would be an hotel, sometimes it would be a blank void. most of there were a loving mess, but a lot of fun too. one of my small contributions to these comics gave me my own 15 minutes of fame where it became a re-occurring joke sometimes:



eventually the site would be bought by a korean corporation, get a horrible redesign as a webtoon/tapas clone, and get shut down shortly after just to promote their other webcomic hosting site. a good number of these are mostly lost to time due to this, which loving sucks.

nowadays these comics still exist, but you can rarely find them and they are not as active as they once were. it sucks because i've been thinking about making my own recently just for funsies, but as an adult i fear i have better things to do right now.
