Sammy's Blog! - Updates, News Bulletins and Other random crap.

Update (14/11/2024)

I've made the decision to downsize this website to JUST this blog. It's a bit weird, yes, but i do think it helps to keep the scope of this website reasonably small.

I will add other pages, but this is more or less the main page. The only other things i'd like to add is potentially a page about any hyperfixations i might havea and an art page showing off the stuff i make!

I also removed any talk of the apocalypse and the end of the internet from this blog because i don't think it fits the vibe i'm going for here at all. This is just my silly little space to put silly words on a screen

Woah! Hey there!

So yes it's been quite a while since i actually posted on this blog and i just want to update everyone on what's been going on with my life, a lot of stress has piled onto me this past wee while and i've struggled to find work alongside trying to stay alive and well, both physically and mentally. It's been really stressful ;>~>

The Autism Art Gallery never went ANYWHERE at all either... I still can't really wrangle with HTML as well as i would have hoped to have done and i eventually just forgot that it was a project that i was working on, so i'm officially cancelling the project for good. It would have been fun to post pictures of the things i grew up with when i was a kid but i'm not really good with coding. However, i will make a compromise and show you another project that's actually making really big progress this time!

I'm working on a Super Mario World ROM Hack based on the album "Pix & Bit" by Patricia Taxxon! So far development of the hack is steady and i'm almost completely done with the spritework for the character Bit, now all i'll need to focus on is Level Design, Implementing the mechanics i want to mess around with and adding stuff that i wanna add. (Like Taunting)

There's a wiki post about this too if you'd want to give it a read here!

Either way, here's hoping this project doesn't go belly up like the art gallery did, i'm really excited to be working on something and seeing it steadily progress! I hope to do more blog posts like this in future as well!

Update (14/12/2023):

I'm working on a personal project relating to my Autism. It's going to reqire time, effort, and a lot of self-reflection regarding my past.

It'll be free to view here on Neocities, once it's ready i'll make a public announcement... somewhere.

How can you "be yourself" if you don't know who you are?

Update (9/12/2023):

I've added some buttons to the side of this blog, some of which you can click on! The clickable ones are on the main page as well.

In other news i've been trying to experiment with my new fursona and i'm still really not sure what my sona's species would be. I'm thinking maybe i could get away with Xenia (a public domain linux mascot) being my fursona but that doesn't seem all that original.

Another idea i have is taking my old fursona (Kane) and gender-swapping him (ref sheet done by FallenFoxie) but again, i'm still thinking about it.

Kane's Ref Sheet for context:

Lastly, there's one more thing i'm working on and i have been working on it for years now. (since i joined the furry fandom actually!) It's a manifesto of the furry community and potentially a deep dive into the intricacies of what makes the furry fandom tick. It's still a work in progress and i've yet to see all this fandom has to offer, so with that said, it's still an ongoing project.

Anyway, i hope you all have a nice Christmas this year! See ya ^w^

Update (2/12/2023):

I've finally taken the time to make a blog page! I know it's pretty empty at the moment, but i will make an effort to add things now and then!

Also, it's probably nothing major but i do have a growing Youtube Audience and i'm willing to upload more stuff to the tiny tunes collection now that i've got more motivation to make my own stuff and get creative!

This page is also finally back up and running again. In the end i chose not to do the Electrical Engineering course because whilst it is interesting to me, the place i was going to study it at was quite dead and nowhere near as lively as the city that i live in now. (also there didn't seem to be any furries there either soooo yeah no thanks lmao)

So yeah! I'm back and ready to experiment with HTML a bit more now that i've got a workflow going!
