New year resolutions and goals for 2023

So with 2022 coming to an end and 2023 soon on the horizon. I should make goals, changes, and things I plan to do this time instead of me making these goals because of someone. I am making these goals for me and no one else in mind. These will be goals, plans, and things I want to do for my future.

And these are changes in my life and what I want to do moving forward. And some of these changes are needed, of course.

Things I plan to do before 2022 ends

Twitter

For this, it is time I do some cleaning up. And since I don’t roleplay anymore and for other reasons. I don’t see a reason to keep these accounts around. For those who don’t know, I made these Twitter accounts for roleplaying. Twitter back from 2011 to 2014. These were accounts for roleplay, venting, and whatnot.

These accounts are dead and still on the site as I wanted to leave them as a reminder of the great times I had, but given that Twitter could implode at any time, and these accounts were going to be something I look back laugh fondly with some people.

The accounts I am talking about are sonik and SorcererofKarth These roleplay accounts were something I enjoyed using back then, but I feel it is time to get rid of them and let them be free. One of the accounts my ex made help make in a skype call. And with my roleplay group defunct, there is no need to hold onto them anymore.

Some small changes

Well, well, well. Time to talk about some things, but it is enlightenment for me and a step forward. I’m happy with this result. I think it is for the best. For me, health-wise, this blog post should be long blog post, or it might be short. I do not know.

2022 has been a crazy year, but I think because of this year, I realized something and realized something I should have since 2020 but better late than never, huh? It is better to learn the lesson later rather than never at all.

And after doing some thinking, I want to change the tone of this blog post to something happy and more uplifting. And let me begin. It is December and the final month of the year, and I guess the blog post I made here was something I needed.

Social media

Twitter and Instagram

So, this section was going to be about me listing off some things, like how using @onychaos gives me social anxiety and whatnot. I guess I can turn this around. I suppose I should start changing the way how I use social media.

I was worried and focused on old friends that I was blinded. Time to stop worrying about them.

And I think that is completely fine. No point worrying about other people. That is my wake-up message, and I’m glad I got it. And it is good to get the idea sooner than later.

I used to be bitter, holding on to the past when I should have let go of it and I think I am ready to let go of the past and everything linked to it. Look to a bright future with or without friends, and that’s ok, and I accept this now. it is a better choice.

Let’s talk

Alright. This blog post will be unlike the other blog posts and more over the place. Time to face my demons. This blog post won’t be seen by the person I want sadly. And something that weighs on my mind all to way back to 2021-2019, and I dare say even 2015. Doubt, thinking far into the future, and living in the past for comfort. And my mini breakdown on Twitter.

No one is at fault here.

https://media.tenor.com/bYmQ98273UUAAAAd/trevor-belmont.gif

Let’s clear something up. This is here to give an understanding of how I think, maybe.

Doubts. I have doubts that they go well online. I try to push these thoughts back that things will be ok, but my thoughts only come back stronger. I know whatever I do, friendships, relationships, something comes to warn me that they will end.

It is either I doubt my friend will be there in the future or that I never deserve anything good. When good things happen, these thoughts follow. It’s a harmful cycle that I hope to break free of it.

But even then, I have doubts it won’t go well. Most of the doubts come true, and I begin to wonder if these are even doubts anymore but a look into my future with whatever I doubt. It’s funny since I had dreams that gave me a peak into my future.

Thinking too far into the future has been a flaw of mine. It’s either too far in the past or too far into the future. Never the present. I look to the future as it is more important than the present. It is a harmful mindset, but looking into the future.

I see the future as something better, but I stay too focused on it that it does me more harm than good. What would happen if this changed or that changed? What would life be like if I can’t help but focus on the future?

And living in the past. One who lives in the past has no future, or along those lines. What my friends and ex told me. Something I laughed off as silly, but then I started to live in the past as it gave me a sense of comfort when friends I held close started to change.

Then it was not until I started to live in the past more as life began to change for the better and worst. And I would say for both as I recall past events fondly and gain comfort and peace at the cost of creating a harmful bubble, so to speak.

Blogger shoutout

Hmm, I have not done this in a long while, and all the reason to do that now. I used to talk about bloggers and add them to a list where other viewers find new users to follow and check out their content or personality. And it is good to expand your reach on bloggers to follow.

You can find some hidden gems in the rough, or people are worth a follow, or at the very least, find some great blog pages to watch or check out. So it is time to get started with this blog post.

LIFESFINEWHINE (Pooja G)

You enjoy reading blog posts or even love reading poems or want to learn some tips about blogging or tips about life. Pooja G is your girl for that. She was someone I found on WordPress not too long ago, but I have always enjoyed her content, even enough to where I would make a blog post in reply to her blog post.

CROW’S WORLD OF ANIME

It is the bird of anime. If you need a review of an anime episode, or in general, Crow is your guy, and these reviews will be in great detail. The good, the bad, and the ugly. And from there, you can form your own opinion.

My Nintendo News

If you like gaming news or news related to Nintendo, this blog might be for you. They cover gaming news, updates for games, video game reviews, patch notes, and more. Anything related to gaming, I’m sure you will find it here. And Sickr is pretty cool. :3

I DRINK AND WATCH ANIME

What do you drink is the question. But for real, Irina is a great blogger. She makes very detailed reviews about the anime she watches. I have replied to a few of them. If you’re looking for more anime reviews, I believe Irina can lend you a hand. :3

aceasunder

As a blogger, I wanted to shout out. They are a gaming blog which I feel is fair to say unless I’m wrong. But I do pop in from time to time to see good content and video game update log of progress. Very nice to see.

sideoffiction

I come to bring an honorable mention. Sideoffiction has a great blog theme. And they are an anime blogger but also can talk about games and other things. If you’re looking for something, I’m sure they will have you covered.

June update log

Time for a June update, as usual. I will list the things I did, done, or planned to do for June but they will have their section with details and such. I think having them as a list is boring.

Things I will be talking about soon or later.

WordPress, blog posts, and posts are ready to queue up. Discord, server updates, and changes. Fan game progress and showcasing. Twitch, and YouTube streaming. And other things.

Editor note: This post was made last month and most of the stuff here was changed or removed.

Things I got planned to do

Discord

Server changes

I will be getting rid of the Inactive member role cause too much work to manage members.

If I make extra changes to some things.

  1. People can join and leave whenever they like. And welcome to rejoin if you were not causing issues. You can come back anytime.
  2. If a said person leaves the server not due to being compromised.
  3. Rare roles, Tatsu server points, and score, and anything else, may or will be lost and must be earned next time.
  4. Access to private channels may be lost since discord removes you if you leave a discord server.

Oops updates

Ah, time to post again, and oh boy. A lot of what has happened and this will be a blog post and probably will be the last time that my friend has to proofread my posts to make sure they are safe to post so no one will be mad, and while that was nice having someone level headed clear my posts to be green to post.

Almost time to move out

With all the crazy stuff happening, our time in our old place is almost. We are moving out on May 31, 2022, because our landlord is a butt but the new place is a lot better and looks nicer than our current area

I have 9 boxes ready and got a few more to do and once my things are packed up, I can work and clean up in the other rooms and pack up stuff for the movers to get, and this move will be unlike Texas since the move will be a few hours and not a few days.

Movers show up on May 28, 2022, and we leave on the 31st of May but we want to be out before that date. Mini update: The movers are coming on May 27, 2022

The last trash day is coming up since the landlord wants nothing here or outside, it is going to be a rough week.

I made a blog post talking about moving again and whatnot. This is more of an update and extra news. https://onychaos.wordpress.com/2022/04/30/life-update/

Wake up call

Life update

So it seems we are moving again and not by choice. Our landlord is big baby mad that we won’t renew the lease for this place we are staying at this moment. I have a simple update to relay and whatnot.

Given that it is a new year and our lease on this place ends on May 31st. Our family was looking for a better place to stay in. So my mother does not want to renew the lease in case we found a new place and decide on something else once we find it and that has upset him so he is forcing home inspections and forcing us out. There is no option to renew here, he wants us gone.

The lease that he gave to renew has gone up in price and wanted more for staying in this house, and the place was already in bad shape and with him being the way he is as a landlord. That’s a yikes, but on a good note. We got a new place to stay in but this means we will have to start getting ready to pack up and repack stuff again sooner than later.

The point is, the landlord is petty, we are moving out around the end of May and see how things turn out for me and my family, and hope the next area is better. Sucks this again had to happen sooner instead of later but what can you do.

That’s all I wanted to write for this blog post and have something of a mini update on my blog.

Tumblr or WordPress?

It has been a while since I talked about Tumblr. And then I talked about Tumblr on a serious note was the post NSFW ban on Tumblr and link ban which hid blog posts, and after going back to Tumblr, I see they fixed their site. The search engine for Tumblr seems to show all. Even tags seem to be working right, but I can’t be completely sure.

And which all these changes, and given that Tumblr is a part of the WordPress family now, I have a new option for blogging. There is one thing I can’t be sure about, and that is the content you can post there.

Some of my content here, I do walk on thin ice and will mostly set off a content flag for banned content, even though, I censored it to death. But so far, I have been lucky. I don’t know if what applies to WordPress can be used on Tumblr, given they have different rules.

So, why am I talking about Tumblr today? I am thinking of making Tumblr my main blogging platform. Keyword: “thinking” WordPress is still a good site to use, And it has done a lot for me as a free user. But WordPress feels much more professional, which is not a bad thing. But I feel the content I post here is not a good fit. My target audience, I wanna say is not on WordPress, and if they are, they are so far buried under bots, spam posts, tags.

TumblrWordPress
Easy to use
Personal Blog
free to customize your blog theme at will
There is an audience for anyone there.
No ads on blogs
Infinite space for photos
You can upload videos
SEO may be better now?
Add in third-party widgets (Addthis, etc…) A lot of fandoms
Ask widget
Easy to use
Personal Blog
Making blog posts is easy
A lot of good features Good SEO?
Infinite space for photos by making new sites.
Fandoms are here too. (None of the ones I’m into yet.)
Spam filter
some good themes for free users

These are pros I think about for Tumblr or WordPress. And Tumblr is not perfect, by any means. It still has porn bots that like to like posts or follow you. And every social media has bots. Look at WordPress. I still get bot followers, and in some tags, bots spam or copy and repost the same post to fill up a blog tag.

I guess what I wanted to do is talk about Tumblr. I will move back to Tumblr to see how things are, and how much has changed and do a simple test of posting to both blogging sites and see what happens. If Tumblr is better now in terms of blogging and blog tagging working right, I will probably move there. And making my WordPress blog a second backup blog.

November and December log

Ah, yes. It’s time to make some changes that will be better for me. I have to put myself first and learn to say no. And some people or a person won’t like this, but oh well. This is an update log of stuff I want to do/plan to do and whatnot.

Things I want to do

Update on games I’m making.

Sonicvania + boss rush update

So, the boss rush fan game is still going to be updated. I have gone ahead and started on a SonicVania standalone game mode within the boss rush fan game, and how that can be unlocked will be a secret

The basic core engine for SonicVania is 5 % done. I think once I get 30% done, I will release it with an update. And on that note, I’m gonna work on the next boss as that is the holdup for the update and I need to add a cut scene. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. The second boss is the death egg robot, and I need to make an effect if a player tries to get behind the boss.

Controller Support is gonna be fun for main content and bonus content. You can still use a keyboard.

Update log

I wanted to make an update log. And for where I have been and what I am doing. I know it has already been a month since my last blog post, and a lot of stuff has happened/is still happening, and I should get to it. I got a lot of things I want to do or get done.

Things in my life

  • My desk is not up, and unable to use it.
  • 1 – I am supposed to have it up, but no word yet
  • 2 – Family will try to help put my desk up
  • 3 – using a broken mouse for now
  • Currently, my desk is two dinner tray tables

Getting a bank account

  • 1 – getting a credit card
  • 2 – getting an online payment system like PayPal

Getting used to the new home

  • enjoying life

Things in my online life

WordPress related stuff

I noticed my blog has two posts with the most views on my blog

  • 1 – “Seen Lifesfinewhine’s update on WP” and feel Pinterest has added a boost to the view count
  • 2 – Why I still use WordPress, and not Tumblr for now

It is interesting to see these posts with high views, but again, Pinterest has helped a lot because of the gifs in the post, and users view the post and leave. I feel I should delete these pins linking to my post on Pinterest, and remove these gifs in the posts I made.

Blogs posts I got in the works

1 – life blog log

2 – elsword blu log

3 – witching hour log

4 – Sonic fans

5 – SRB2 kart

6 – ???

Gaming related

  • playing Phantasy Star Online 2
  • played and beaten Terraria
  • 1 – started expert mode
  • “played” elsword
  • Playing Princess & Conquest for a good bit

I just wanted to make a short update log-like blog post since it has been a good while, and I don’t want an inactive blog. Lol, I hope this will be fine till my other posts are ready to be posted. I will see you later with new blog posts, and I will be sure to comment on some blog posts.

We are moving again

Alright. Starting the post-opening different here. The reason here is I’m moving out soon, and the lack of activity on a lot of things will come to a complete stop. We start the process of packing up our stuff and cleaning the townhouse. And after that, we leave on the 29th of April or around there.

Once we are done cleaning and packing up our stuff, we are going to stay in a hotel and probably catch our flight in the morning, rather than flying at night and going to our place in the dark. But before we can move, there will be a lot of packing and cleaning up the house.

Anime Typing GIF - Anime Typing OnComputer GIFs

So, what is going to happen is on the 26th of April, I will be busy cleaning, packing up our stuff, playing Phantasy Star Online 2, and being ready to move after everything is done. I will say that I will be less active everywhere else but PSO2. I will be doing as much as I can but I will be on discord as well.

Things I will try to do before the move. I might not get to do everything but I will try to do some of the things listed here.

  1. Do a Livestream on twitch (Today)
  2. Make one more blog post
  3. Play more PSO2
  4. Make some blog post drafts

This blog post is more of an update status on what’s going on soon or what is changing. So I wanted to update everyone and people on what’s new. And with that, I am done. I think once I get moved in, I will update my blog theme and everything else. I can’t wait to update all my content.

Here is how it will look or an idea of us moving out. From my understanding anyway.

Monday – start cleaning the house and packing up stuff

Tuesday – Family comes to help with cleaning, and they come to hang out and eat food.

Thursday – we call the movers to get our stuff sent out to the new house.

Everything else, not too sure. Lol.

Stay safe, and I will be back to blogging in may

How I used to make blog posts

So, this post will be different for me since I am doing something very different from what I used to do when I make a post, and I feel this will help me get back into the flow of things and the flow of blogging again.

So how I normally create blog posts is as followed. I open up LibreOffice Writer, and I start writing down my thoughts. It can take me a few hours to a few days but that depends on what I am blogging about, and when I’m tagged in a blog post by someone, it can take a few days as I want to get everything down. I’m slow at typing, haha.

https://tenor.com/view/aimoto-rinku-d4dj-first-mix-anime-thinking-gif-19850528

When I am done. I would normally post this onto my blog, and add a few more things and call it a day. But then I started using Grammarly and with that in the mix. What takes a few hours goes into days because I use it to find errors and tiny typos.

In Grammarly, I spend like 5 to 7 hours to a few days on a single post, finding grammar and other stuff in my post. And it takes so long because I get tired and I just stop to do other things because fixing your grammar for hours on end can kill the mood to post.

And this was a bad habit I got into. If I didn’t edit out the grammar and other issues, the blog post wouldn’t be worth posting, and I want to say this is a toxic mindset I formed but I am getting out of this mindset because I love to blog. I used to blog before without worrying too much about grammar. Sure, there were grammar issues here and there, but I made my posts clear enough where you can understand the message, even with the grammar mistakes.

I guess I have become self-conscious of what I do, and for blogging, that is pretty clear since I used to blog almost every day to now. I can put out one blog post if I am lucky. And this sucks but I think I will use Grammarly to fix the normal spelling mistakes but everything else, I will not touch, as I don’t want to spend 5 hours or more. I am going to break out of this prison, so to speak.

I have a lot of things I want to post, and I will do just that. I knew there was a reason why I was not blogging as much. And I spent days trying to figure out the answer, and I got my answer. It’s a crazy answer, but an answer, no less.

A quick question. What software do you use to blog? I use LibreOffice but I wanted to know if there are better document programs besides Microsoft Word?

Thank you for reading. This blog post is an odd one but I like to share stuff. And it is good I share things like this.

2021 goals

So, it is 2021, and the year is already looking weird. But that is something we all see, and I will not talk about it but want to talk about something else. For 2021, I have or want to make a list of things I want to do.

And this is a list of things I plan to do, want to do, or may do, not in that order. I can hope I can do most of them this year. I can not say everything will get done but playing it by ear.

Blog featured in SomeOrdinaryGamers’ video

Ok, so this is crazy, but something wild happened. I was making a Wix forum, and after I got done with it. I went to check my blog since I had eight new views around 9 Am. I come back to find that I gained a spike in views from 8 to 29 blog views. I was wondering where these views came from but gave up trying to figure that out.

So I went over to youtube to watch some videos before I logged on to Genshin Impact for the night, and I see muta from SomeOrdinaryGamers upload a new video on Sonic Gather Battle. Being curious, I watched the video to see what current information he has on this (virus)fan game* and around 10:19 timestamp, I see something that almost made my heart stop. I see my blog got featured in SomeOrdinaryGamers’ video for a few seconds. And mind you, this is a large youtube channel that has 2.36 mil subscribers.

And for someone who felt that his posts would never get seen outside of wordpress.com, this made me very happy to know that was not the case. My blog post that was featured is here: Sonic Gather Battle “fan game” And this makes my need to blog even greater.
