Mystic Wish

My stupid ass forgot the 30th was the last day of April, so this is a day late.
 
March site updates:

• I finally finished Was MLP G3 really that bad?, which I originally started in October as a sequel to G2: The forgotten MLP generation? with the intent to be published on Halloween... Until my work hours got in the way, then I postponed it to Christmas. But now that I quit and am still unemployed, I went ahead and finished it. I might've unintentionally have a series because I started watching G5 after, but that kind of fell off since I keep pushing away the Netflix show.
• Drive-by review: Filly Astray, another MLP-themed page and filler entry in the Drive-by review series. Just an average platformer with controls so bad I couldn't finish it.
• Index page code fixed up since I've learned more.
• Rarity shrine finished and uploaded!! I initially didn't plan on this because I didn't think I'd have anything interesting to say, but around Christmas I had a basic outline in my head. I also made this layout (with reference of course) and very proud of that!
• Ivy shrine tweaked and updated, also applied the same knowledge to making it automatically resize on mobile, which is a big deal since the base code was something I found on Neopets. 

Life updates:

• Household was hit with financial issues that I took badly due to being unemployed still.  
• Still utilizing the library, I decided I'll download .epubs of books I don't finish so I can read it on my own time (even if I hate being on my phone lol).

To-do:

• Don't hold your breath on fixing my art galleries and making separate OC pages -_- Someday...
• Trying to make another layout by myself for my Neopet's birthday this month. It's also going to be Kotte's birthday later this month and I have plans for that!

I occasionally pop in a 30-40+ server and I was reminded of the Worm Light extension for Gameboy, before the backlit screens were added to the Advance SP. I have terrible memory issues but I got a memory to how the Worm Light was a huge game changer when I was 11 years old and traveled out-of-state, I used it when playing it at night.
But I also remember a design that was kind of gooey and monstrous? For a moment I wondered if it was a false memory, until I kept searching... and found it! The Blob Light!

According to a review I found, the Blob Light isn't all that. It's bulky, you might have to squeeze it on, and you can't use other accessories like the screen magnifier... But unlike the Worm Light, it has character. I'm prone to hoarding things but I don't own this anymore, since I sold my Gameboy Advance a long time ago. I miss fun third party add-ons like this though...

Another from the 2024 questionnaire.

Question 3: How would you describe your personal style?

I don't know if there's an official word for it, but I love Memphis design!! I had it my way to dress however I want I'd dress in a colorful retro Memphis style. My last job was at a clothing store and I have a lot of shirts from there like this, although how they fit varies since they're men's and don't fit across my shoulders 😭 (Searching for this brand shows me there's some women's tops, but I never saw them at work... Oh well.)
 

(I pulled these off eBay, I haven't taken photos of my collection)

A coworker once said I dress like Rocko...

(May not participate daily, but I'm keeping an eye on this. From the 2024 questionnaire. Going through some IRL stress/depression and in a slump with unemployment :( )

Question 2: What thing(s) from childhood do you still enjoy to this day?

Neopets and Gameboy Camera. I try not to fixate on childhood things since mine was terrible, but I can't deny it since Neopets has been around for more than half of my life and even if I haven't picked up my Gameboy Camera in a long time (never got a modern extension to transfer photos to a computer) but it really was a unique game.

There's a donut shop and computer repair service with MLP mascots in Belarus.
