Forgot to write yesterday! But there wasn’t much to write about anyway. School’s entered revision week… though I still don’t feel like studying much. If I don’t cram in the last week, I’ll probably fail… And for game development, I still don’t know what to do, it’s frustrating…

For videos, I can only show what I’m currently able to do, like fixing the website and writing articles. At least these are indeed existing projects… I also feel like my account isn’t quite right, but there’s nothing I can do, I’ll just keep operating it this way… What should my positioning be? I want to make good games, but if it’s just a wish, then it’ll probably stay that way. I need to study hard, but I don’t even know how to study… So I can only keep exploring new areas and trying things out, hoho, I did get a small inspiration. After all, to learn game development, you need to learn everything (

Over the past month or so, I’ve also been exposed to various communities and blogs on the internet, beyond the superficial centralized social areas. Linux.do, V2EX, Noodseek, Hostloc, Nodeloc, a certain software tech forum, Enshan Forum, ACG forums, Moe Community, Nanjia, Bangumi, Doki Chinese Club. And these are just domestic ones; there must be at least as many, if not more, abroad. This form of community interaction is quite appealing to me. And then, even more decentralized, are the countless personal blogs, like scattered stars. What brings these blogs together are usually blogrolls, and more advanced forms are various webmaster mutual aid groups, like timqian/chinese-independent-blogs: List of Chinese independent blogs, github.com/travellings-link/travellings, and various other aggregation sites. When upgraded, they become communities, they say. It really is a deep dive from centralization to decentralization… sub

The “Don’t Touch That Button” theme for the Golden Dolphin competition really appealed to me, but unfortunately, I didn’t sign up. And although I have some ideas, they’re just small, simple ones. Oh well, if I really wanted to participate, I could probably find some on Itch.io. Right now, I feel like I can come up with something if given a theme, but if I have to come up with a theme myself, I can’t make anything at all (it’s so annoying. Never mind, I’ll try making something else first. Oh right, I just thought of something that seems quite interesting.)
