    A demo for one of the things coming in the 1.21 Update Series have been announced at Discord!
    Do try it out and let me know what you think over there.

    Also, a quick note: If you're trying to contact me via Discord and DMs aren't working, the most reliable way to get it working right now is to join any servers I'm a part of, which will then fix it for you. I don't think you can wire it so that you'd accept DMs from anyone anymore?     That'll have to be the workaround for the time being.

    I'll get a custom email thing if you want to reach me directly in the future, but for now, if you need to contact me personally for anything, you can reach me either via Discord or the Mail system PMC has set up.

    1.21 is out! It's currently close to midnight where I'm at so I'll show you what I've been working on tomorrow.
    Just to set some expectations beforehand: The Update Series isn't done yet - I still have lots of things I wanted to do for this update that I haven't yet finished. I'm trying my best with the limited amount of free time I have though. See you soon!

    Even when I try not to overpromise things, I still ended up promising way more than I thought I did at the time. I'll still make it happen though, it'll just take a while.

    In the meantime, here's a slight tangent: Boy, do I love services that give you a 50% off deal when they realize you're not using their services anymore. I haven't paid them anything yet, and now that this deal's out, I won't be using them at all, since they had the audacity to inflate their prices to seem premium, rather than being honest about the value they're offering.

    (I was experimenting with some website builders until I figured that it would be much better if I did it myself rather than rely on these kinds of things)

    It's my birthday today and I realized something:
    I got enough time to bring some packs to 1.20.5, but not all of them. So, I've decided that since I won't be able to bring all my releases to 1.20.5 in time anyway, I'll be working towards getting them all ready for 1.21 instead, which is coming in about 2 weeks from now.

    What does this mean?

    • You'd get all the features I announced (even the ones previously delayed), plus all the secret features I have yet to show (designed specifically for 1.21) as soon as possible after 1.21's release.
    • I'd get more time making sure the Update Series is the best it can be before it's out there.
    • It does mean you'd have to wait for it a bit longer, but late is just a little while.
      I could try to force it out the door, but that's not who I wanted to be, and I wouldn't want to use anything coming from someone like that anyway.
    Thank you for reading all this. I'll head back to work now. More news soon!

    „I'm done with music. For the rest of the month“
    —Me, two weeks ago.


    So, it's June... Now, did I cure my addi—
    I failed miserably

    I had three music-listening-marathons not so long ago (it all started with me and my college friend listening to Egor Letov). I did get rid of the lyric-mumbling issue, though; other than that, nothing's different. This was quite useless.



    As to why I'm currently inactive: yeah, sorry.

    I've been feeling unwell (I'm not sick) and I don't even talk to my buddies as much. My head's just messed up. Besides, I have exams coming, so I'm closing all my dues in college and shиt. I'll probably get okay soon. Or maybe not. I don't even know anymore.

    Progress on my book? What book? Wait... Фuck... the book that I couldn't work on because of college... Well, maybe I'll be able to work on it a lot more after the exams. I'm still figuring stuff after all.

    I predicted a June release for 1.21 and a possibility that it'll come as I'm working on the 1.20.5 Update Series. I mean, it has to be out by June so Minecon may come with news for 1.22. And the Prereleases are here to confirm my little theories.

    Here's a little response to that: I'll get my projects to 1.20.5/6 first, then to 1.21. The jump from 1.20.5 to 1.21, relatively speaking, is smaller than the jump from 1.20.4 to 1.20.5, so that won't take as much time in the oven as it would be for the 1.20.5 Update Series.

    However, with the new features 1.21 is bringing, all fully realized, some of my packs will be designed much differently to adapt to the changing scene.

    Made a hard decision today to not do something I was going to add alongside the 1.20.5 Update Series, and saving it for a later version. I find the idea to be a pretty good one, and I'll get to it eventually, but the main problem with going for it now is that it's going to take way too long to complete for a side improvement, and I want to mess around with the new stuff in 1.20.5 as much as you are. I'll talk more about the removal on Patreon in the next few days.

    As for the update plan: I'll be updating each pack individually and release them when they're ready, so you'll get them as soon as possible     (plus about 2 weeks for Early Access - which would be free if I don't need money to live, but ... life). Some packs have new features to come with them, and all packs' descriptions are going to be overhauled, but I'll let you know more about the new stuff and changes in particular later on.

    PS: whenever I mentioned 1.20.5 I also meant 1.20.6 too, it's just that 1.20.6 is just 1.20.5 with a bugfix that won't affect my projects like, at all.

    Also, yes, I'm still working on the Update Series - that's the biggest priority on the list right now. But I still want to keep you guys posted just so you know I'm not like, gone or anything.

    Kinda ironic that 1.21 is the release that's going to make what I'm adding with 521 a lot less interesting ... The feature that caused it is a good change, I just find it to be a bit ... ironic.

    Updated my artblog with all the stuff I posted but didn't add.

    So, about Sophia's redesign. There's actually not a single thing I like about her. The ideas were right, the execution sucked (for example her hair was TOTALLY NOT what I wanted). So now she's gonna be a completely different character visually, yet she will keep pretty much all the details of the previous version.

    Here's the new hairstyle (the general look, at least) I did alongside her chibi head:



    I've also accidentally deleted one of my canvases, so now I only have a screenshot of it (soldier uniform I did a while ago is also gone, because I usually do multiple drawings on one canvas to fill it out).

    New profile picture.

    I've redesigned Sophia (yes, that means I'll make a THIRD cover for my non-existent book at some point) and made this lil' chibi, so Daniel can rest (imagine being a mascot for 5 years).

    Oh, it's also in Limbus Company artstyle (spread the brainrot). Feel free to use it if you want.



    I've actually only redesigned her hair and I still have to do the clothes :-P
    I'll make a separate post sometime.

    Just learned today that if you haven't migrated to Microsoft from a historical Mojang account, your account is permanently deleted and you have to buy the game again.
    Even if you have the receipt of the original purchase.

    Heck, to this day you can still migrate your old YouTube account for free.
    17 years after YouTube's acquisition to Google, that deal held on.

    Props to SalC1 for doing the experiment and confirming this with hard data.

    I'd still make the comparison if it is since the point is still there.
    It's probably even worse for Microsoft if that's actually the case, regardless of if the YouTube migration deal is still held.

    Another random piece of trivia: The file containing the things I need to know in order to port any given project to 1.20.5 is around 200 lines long, and counting! As a reference point, the same file with the things I need to know in order to port from 1.20.2 to 1.20.3 is only around 30. (the count is 27 if you were wondering)

    Bit of context here: For every new release, I used a self-made tool called the "Patch Notes Grabber" to get information off a given update log, or a series of snapshots leading to a big update and merges all that into one mega update log (if the update log itself isn't out yet), then carefully sort through the resulting data for the stuff I need to pay attention to in order to bring a project to a given release.

    It's standard practice for me now, but I never really talked about it since it's more of the boring bits, but I still need to let you know I'm still bringing this to 1.20.5, this'll just take a while for me.

    I'm starting to think that this bug is on its track to becoming the 2nd Damage Wobble bug.
    It was a thing once, got removed, then many years later was re-implemented again and felt like a new feature.
    (Technically this one was never a thing, but alternatives existed that did the same thing - all of which were removed instead)

    If 1.21 is released without this bugfix I'll look for another path to bring back "/nameless" to Villager Names myself. (Hopefully there'll be another way around it by then)

    Quite (un)funny how I've already cut out 2 entire chapters for a relatively interesting beginning and had to temporarily get rid of 2 characters for a better pacing. Just so you know, I had like, 5 chapters planned out. Now I only have 2 chapters worth of story and have to figure out how to move all the important stuff from the deleted scenes to next chapters (I do have a general plot, I'm talking about the chapters that were planned out fully).

    At first my intention was to write a story in a rather simple way — just describing whatever the heck is happening and that's it. And here I am, trying to make the beginning engaging, wondering what POV to use, trying to write less straightforward and more pleasing, changing the story just so it blends with the writing, thinking about logic way more than I did before, cutting out scenes that feel unnatural...

    I'm just writing a real book at this point instead of a little cringy fic. This takes far more time than I expected. I'll have such a hard time translating it into English...

    Anyway, once again, I really hope it turns out good... ish, at least. If I ever feel confident with the written chapters, I'll post 'em. Right now though, I fear that I'll have to rewrite a lot, so that basically means no publishing until everything's finished.

    No, I do not intend on making long wallposts everyday. I just had a lot of thoughts and stuff. Thanks to whoever cares to read all that.

    До скорого, ай гесс.

    Thank you.

    My writing experience:
    Can't start for hours —> finally starting —> inspiration kicks in —> finishing at 4 am —> cringing the very next day/feeling like it's not enough.

    I've changed my initial writing a lot, so now it at least feels like a book, I think. Sacrificed a lot of jokes and character interaction, though.

    !!YAPPING WARNING!! !!ОГРОМНЫЙ МУЖИК В БРОНЕЖИЛЕТЕ!!

    I'm done with music. For the rest of the month.

    Turns out music addiction exists. Turns out it's bad. Wow. Who would've thought.

    I listen to a lot of music, though. I listen to it for hours, all while spinning around my flat. I'm regularly trying to discover new songs. I memorize the lyrics. I decompose them. I translate them in my mind. I'm whispering them to myself the whole day.

    The good thing is, I'm not really suffering as of right now. I don't have much trouble falling asleep and I still enjoy music as always.

    But, yeah, I'm addicted. Having melodies and lyrics in your head at all times kinda sucks ass. Spending hours just listening to stuff also doesn't strike with me.

    So, just for the sake of it, I won't be listening to music for the rest of the month, as I said. Just to see what happens (if happens at all)



    Already having a hard time when hearing any melody playing. Instant reminder to mumble something.

    Another annoying thing is... my characters. You see, a lot of organisations and characters from my universe were based on songs (either that, or I might've found fitting songs for some later on).

    Pale Association? — When The Weak Go Marching In
    Deuce Association? — Traffic Jam
    Dante? — First Death
    Lyra? — Through Me To You, DOKUZU

    So, yeah. All the time I just have an urge to— to snap the sinew I want to get within you I want to scar the tissue butterfly and rectify you

    To end the post, here are my favorites that you must listen to:

    Mili — favorite Japanese band (favorite album: To Kill A Living Book)
    Дайте танк (!) — favorite Russian band
    Ferry — favorite vocaloid musician
    Ado — favorite singer (shares the place with Mili's vocalist)

    That's it. If you're reading this, you're probably insane (or genuinely interested in the topic ig)

    My next objective is murdering "TikTok attention span" syndrome in me. Not once have I watched a TikTok, but YouTube's making me procrastinate so damn much. Skill issue tbh.
