I can't think of a good title (unsorted updates)

Now playing:
Azealia Banks - Desperado

Today I watched the Backrooms movie, and I was very pleasantly surprised by how good it was! I'd fully expected it to be bad or some low-effort attempt to cash in on a popular internet trend, but it actually did justice both to the idea of the Backrooms itself and the associated ideas of things like liminal spaces, etc. Above all else, the atmosphere was EXCELLENT~

Additionally, today I made a tidy little profit on a small side investment I'd made earlier this week~ Thanks to that, I've recouped pretty much all of the money I burned on my little excursion down south of the border, heh heh heh.

Things have been much quieter for me lately overall, but I've still not had a good opportunity to sit down and write a longer blog post. For now, this post will have to do.

Other highlights from the past month or so:

• This year's Toxic Yuri VN Jam has begun in earnest! I'm unsure if I'll end up making anything for it, after my very recent VN release, but I encourage anyone reading this to join in~
• I've moved back to the States, and currently am providing emotional support to my bio-family after a soap-opera-level sequence of events led to my younger brother moving very abruptly to Hawaii with his less-than-6-months-together now-pregnant girlfriend.
• Later this summer, I'm planning to move to go be near my partner, and we're both very nervous and very excited~ It'll be a big change for both of us, and we both have a history with online relationships having gone south, but we're confident we can adjust and grow together, heheheh~
• I bought a cigar humidor! I've become quite partial to smoking the occasional cigar, but I've had a devil of a time with my cigars drying out and becoming utterly unpalatable—and with how expensive any cigars worth smoking are, it's not worth buying them if I can't store them properly, you know?
• Speaking of cigars, my current favorite is the Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill, but alas, I can't get my hands on any more Cubans now that I'm back in the States...
• I've been watching a lot of Twin Peaks, having just recently watched (and rewatched) seasons 1 and 2 plus Fire Walk with Me. More than anything, the red room sequences have left a strong impact on me, and have been filling me with inspiration for THERA~
• I've started active development on THERA and my game engine for the first time in what feels like ages! I'll write more on this soon, but my main goal is to recycle and update a lot of my old content that Basically No One has seen, played, or read into new subchapters of THERA.
• After weeks and months of not really touching them, I've been making time to play at least a little bit of backgammon and Go per day, just to dust off the ol' board game neural circuits and get warmed back up with them, heheh.

In addition to all of that, I know I still need to finish uploading stuff here on Signal Tower (especially my games and my music), and I'd also like to publish some new music before it gets too late into TYVNJ2, in case people might want to use it for their submissions. For now, though, I'm wishing all of you the best of luck~
