I’ve been a bit busy with work and just trying to stay level, that I admit this place has fallen into a certain level of disrepair. This is a bit of an informal 2024 year in review, bear with me because this is all I’ve got.
First order of business is I need to prune through over 5,000 spam comments in Russian… До свидания
Second, I updated the Forums and it broke. Oh well, that honestly saves me having to delete another 5,000 spam comments in Russian. Εβίβα!
I feel like its been ages(and it has been!), but months ago I participated in lecture seminar about elements and their color correspondence at the VR Mystery School, so go check them out in VR Chat if you get a chance!
AI and Cryptocurrency are on the rise while the world faces a global economic crisis meltdown. I try to avoid politics as often as possible, but the sociopolitical climate has been pretty terrible and its got me down, yo. I’ll give a Hail Eris to that!
SO! There’s one last little tidbit that I’d like to talk about in these increasingly Interesting Times.
I have this inexplicable pull into many directions at once. It’s very emblematic in this very website’s topic: GameArcane. Two seemingly disparate ideas being plunged together, gaming and the occult. However I haven’t let this stop me, I’ve got my hands in all KINDS of cookie jars. I would never call myself a polymath, or even a jack-of-all-trades, but I am certainly good at overextending into multitasking. In my work life I’m in the academic sciences, dealing with computers and the natural world. Another instance of dialectic goals. Within that microcosm, my goal is outreach through artistic method and mediums. To get right to it, while I have all of these separate quadrants of interest and expression, games and the occult aren’t the most… acceptable interests in the realm of academic higher education and research. This blog, in and of itself, is a direct contradiction toward a future of successful integration into this sphere or realm. Not that I’m TRYING to be a distinguished research PhD, but certainly introspective conjecture is at the heart of being a highly qualified doctor of philosophy. I digress, this is just perhaps the strongest antipodean pull of my psyche. Witches were burned for less, and on the verge of the 25th year of the 21st century the newly pontified politicals don’t look too favorably about anything I do and many things that I stand for, or even who I am.
Whew, that went a bit longer than i expected. Anways, as a treat, I’ll also say that I’m loosely trying to learn 25 different foreign languages and alphabets and at the same time, get outside and away from the computer where I call my home. If you don’t see me in here, hope that I am out there somewhere sharing my heart with friends or quietly in commune with life itself.
I’ll try to be back soon, let me know how you are doing!
