Hiya databytes! 

Happy New Years! It's 2026 and I have some plans! 

First of all, I'll be doing a weekly stream focused on learning something. Kind of open to whatever and however I choose to learn. Sometimes it'll be painting, sometimes digital art, sometimes vtuber rigging. I really want to have a space that encourages not just me to build a skill but also you guys. Part of that is the new Discord channel called Learning Museum in the Arts & Crafts category. It's there to post stuff you aren't personally impressed with but is proof that you're trying to learn something. I'll be posting things I hate but made with my own hands so I can see the progess I'm making as I develop whatever skill it's tied to. You guys should do the same!

Second, games may take more of a back seat this year. I probably won't be playing too many games in general or just revisiting ones I've enjoyed in the past. I did enjoy the indie showcases and demo events I did last year so those may be the only focused gaming streams. I honestly haven't really decided. I also want to do some Animal Crossing decorating streams. Basically just be really casual about games and not really try to stream the new hotness unless I'm also really into it (Paralives.)

Finally, I want to try being more active in general. This year I have a lot of irl things I want to do. I have the community meetups group to expand on, I have a baby I want to start trying for, conventions to visit, etc. Dan and I are in the process of selling our house in Texas (more on that at the end of the month!) so we're also saving to have a good downpayment on a home in PA. Parts of this will include more Discord activity from me as I tell you guys all about this stuff. And updating posts here because I did say I wanted to blog more. I'm not really sure what counts as blogging though, so welcome to reading my journal lmfao. 

Anyways, I'm really glad you guys are here, and I hope to see you on Discord, Twitch, and Bluesky too! ILY!
