Like my portfolio and official SaGia website , this one is also made by Weebly. I call it: Kira Kira Nostalgia Show. This site will have a blog portion talking about various nostalgic stuff, as well as various stage shows (sometimes).   I’ve started this website since Saturday night, and it’s still a work-in-progress. But, I’m loving with how the site turned out.  The inspiration behind the site would be me reviewing vintage and obscure stuff mostly on my Blogspot blog and archiving manuals over at the Internet Archive, which I started on 4/9. Previously, I was originally going to archive some manuals over at a website called ManualsLib, but the moderators are mean and rejected my submissions, so I chose to move to the Internet Archive after deleting my account over at ManualsLib. Another problem with that site is that it’s full of ads and has a negative reputation over at Trustpilot.  I was nervous uploading some stuff and preserving it over at the archive since pe...

Back in 2022, I made a post about memes and in a paragraph, I mentioned that I stopping caring about modern memes. And boy, I'm glad I still stopped caring. I remember when memes used to be image macros or reaction images or object labeling memes. I was there when the LazyTown memes were big (We Are Number One!). Does Vine even count? Cory in the House became the greatest anime. Heck, memes introduced me to the late and great Chuck Norris (not just the memes, but a website I used to be on called Scratch when I found this game about him). I also used to watch meme compilations or people react to them. And now?  "Ha, ha, six [censored/redacted]even". Family Guy clips. Subway Surfers on the bottom of a video. AI. A lot of the memes nowadays on Know Your Meme, which was my source for learning about certain memes I didn't understand, come from TikTok, which I despise. And what's so funny about that dang number? I don't get it. And I don't want to know what it ...

  So I wake up at 1pm, check my email, and I'm greeted to this in my email: Title:  Action required: update your site's background image " Time to refresh your site's background image " "There's an upcoming change that affects your site (wimbearn).

I don't know if this means that the background patterns will be removed... looks like they don't mention it...

I didn’t really bother waking up early for the Pokémon Presents thing as I fell off playing the games after Scarlet and Violet, but uh, new mainline games! However… I don’t know how to feel about the starter designs except the water type. Browt looks like an angry bird and I still can’t unsee it after saying it. Pombon… is adorable but just… eh, I don’t know… looks like a generic dog. Also while typing this, my friend said that Gecqua looks like a Littlest Pet Shop toy and now I can’t unsee that either. I feel as if the designs are getting worse and I’m worried about the legendaries. On the positives, the game looks beautiful and the trailer showed off one of my favorite Pokémon, Tropius!

These past couple of days have... been crazy for me. I haven't been feeling great. Not sick, just not feeling motivated to do anything at all. I also had more restless nights. I was going to start chapter 16 of SaGia on Monday or Tuesday, but never started on it. I'm still away from social media and will be quiet on this blog. My contact page keeps getting visits (22 page views as of this post), but no one reaches out to me. I don't understand. Same with my Linktree... people view my Linktree page but don't click on anything. I tried everything I could promoting my Ko-fi shop too. I know social media isn't a reliable place, but I try to promote it every now and then whenever I feel like it. As I said in my previous post, this economy sucks and people are holding back from spending. Wednesday and Friday, I had to talk to my dad about my feelings. I also found myself back to my impulse buying issue and told him about that too. For personal reasons, I don...

Originally, I was going to make this post private to my subscribers on my WordPress, but decided to make it public. Be prepared as this is a long one. If you don't want to read this post, that's fine. Not a lot of people really interact with my posts here or that they care about me sharing my art. Let's talk about a mobile game that I've been playing since 2021... 5 years. And it's my first gacha game and only gacha that I currently play: Dragon Ball Legends. More like, "Greedy Ball Legend(ary maintenance)". I wish I never hopped on. I fell in the gacha trap. For those who don't know what a gacha game is, look it up or click this link . It's basically virtual gambling with getting fictional characters and you don't know if you will get that rare, stronger unit or not. (man, I miss that title screen.) This game... has left a bad sour taste in my mouth since last year with so many changes the app has made. The UI update took me a lot of getting ...
