Bear with me here. I'm going to try to make this post a bit more readable then last month's;

Hello NewGrounds! Hope you are doing well! I think this month has been kinda fair. But let me show you some things I got going on!

Kamen Rider cartoon

Every day, for at least 3 hours on my days off for work I have been working full-on to get this thing done. Its gotten to the point I'm literally dreaming about Kamen Rider! (Its really weird, I hope that stops.) This cartoon should be done in about a week and for the upcoming Kamen Collab next month. Read about the collab here!

I also separately submitted an nice Eye-Catch for the collab as well. Hopefully it will turn out great and people will like it when its released! :)

Valentines Day Collab

Hooray! I have something under the games section in my profile! While technically not a game and not something I directly programmed I did provide a cute little card for the event. Todate, this collab has been the one with the MOST USERS listed as contributors ever on NewGrounds! Good Job everyone and congratulation to StormyDew and CootieGirl who lead the way!

Code BootCamp Rejection

I got rejected from my own workplace's tech program to learn how to code. How lame. The process also for applying was kinda weird as well. I took a aptitude test then immediately right after I had to do a camera interview. That was unexpected and not fun to do. But oh well, always next year. In the meantime...

Godot and GDQuest

The greatest thing about me is my tenacity to find another way around obstacles blocking me from my own development. I did post last year about trying out Godot and along my journey with that I stumbled upon something called GDQuest. The person who runs this named Nathan did a really good job with this and broke everything down for me and others on how coding in Godot works amongst other cool tutorials.

My favorite so far has been Learn to Code From Zero with Godot. Its highly enjoyable and I learned a lot more then I did trying to Learn Ruby-on-Rails. If you have no experience at all with code, give it a go!

"Suck it, Amazon Tech Elevator weenies!" -YendorNG 2024

I really have no plans at the moment in Game-dev. Maybe I'll try out a game jam when the opportunity presents itself.

Odds and Ends

I got to have a nice two-hour interview with @Aalasteir for his A100 podcast which should be coming out on March 29th. You get to hear about how poverty kinda sucks, how I got my start as DJ, and later a producer, why I left the IT industry, on top of how much I hate MMOs and their dumb goldfarmer syndicates and why I don't play them anymore.

Speaking of which, the fire department has been called out to my home a couple of times because "Someone smelled smoke". I think they maybe smelling something else.

Work is still slow, its gotten to the point where I am being asked to take two days off a week voluntarily. Doing my best to resist that since I missed paying rent yesterday. My Landlord understands and usually this happens around this time of year. But I don't think my credit card and my car loan servicer will be as understanding... I'm not in any immediate danger, so we shall see how this plays out.

The bathroom faucet has been broken by a roomate. I haven't shaved in two weeks because of it and I look like a hippy. Replacement hopefully today.

Applied for promotion at work.

I'm still gonna try to go to Too Many Games meet up in June. I have a promise I remembered I need to keep.

Other then that. Get cracking. I want more cool movies to watch and games to play on NewGrounds Dot Com.

NewGrounds! 2300 AD! Thats how long we are gonna live!
