Thirsty Shaman

19 June - They/them

DND

I'm Shaman. I've been meaning to make a website for a while now. A personal one, I mean. I did work on a google site to organize my class notes, but now that I've finished college I want to make something more intimate and maybe try to improve my html? since it's pretty basic at the moment. Also, to practice some English while I'm on it as it's not my first language. There are so many things I could do here. And I always get so overwhelmed with ideas! So I'll try to start with something like this, even if it's really bare-bones, and work on the aesthetics later. Maybe add a drawing of myself on the side of this and so on. For now, I'm going to make a list of objectives: Learn CSS. I kind of know the basics of html already since I learned those at high school, but the pandemic started when we were about to learn CSS. If I never learn it, I'll feel as if I've failed that subject! Write an "about me" page. This website is for me to talk about whatever I want to! I should make a little introduction about myself and also add links to my other media. I'd like to have it all organized like that. Write an "interests" page. Since that's mostly what I'm looking forward to with this... Write a "reviews" page. I feel kind of sky to publish my own reviews at other social media (just sometimes). Doing them here feels more private. Write an "original content" page. I honestly don't know how to title that one. "Original content" is one way to put it, I guess. Mostly for little writings, drawings or ideas I have. I guess 1GB of space is enough for the pictures that I'm gonna use for now. Those are my goals for now. We'll see how it goes! Now I'd like to make a list about other objectives I have for when I finish my exams.

Other personal objectives

Learning

• Blender. It's my main obsession right now. I just want to start doing stuff around and experiment, now that I have a good PC. I feel like I could really enjoy it and I want to be able to create a model of one of my characters in 3d (since they're not too complex-looking).

Reading

• Fried Green Tomatoes. I was reading it when I abruptly stopped because I needed to study for the university entrance exams. I'll try to go on with it as soon as possible. I loved the movie.
• The Ugly Little Kid. A friend of mine liked it so now I'm interested.
• Homestuck. Yeah... I've been feeling the urge to reread it. Really just an excuse to use the (un)Official Collection more often.
• Dream's End Come True (Ultrakill). I loved this SO MUCH. I WANT TO READ IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Also I'd like to read the ones mothcpu recommended in the credits!! I'd love to see more stuff like this.

Games

I've got so many games on standby... I do play a lot but I'm very slow. I take a loooot of time and always refuse to look up guides or walkthroughs (which usually ends up with me dropping the game for three months). So this is not really a list of objectives but rather a reminder to not start so many new games!!

• Outer Wilds. I've already finished the base game but I erased my save lot by mistake. I need to go through all the entries to get the Archaeologist achievement anyways, but what I'm really looking forward to is playing the DLC.
• Portal. I'm trying to get all the achievements. Replayed it very recently and honestly it was so short... I remember it taking me very, very long. Months even (I took very long pauses). I finished both Portal 1 and 2 during the lockdown and I remember how I excited I was about it.
• Postal. Started playing Postal 1 recently since it was free on steam and I like it so far, but I forgot to save and lost progress on like 4 levels. They're fun so it's fine but it feels like a chore having to do them all over again now.
• Ultrakill. My true obsession at the moment. I played it right after I finished Outer Wilds and holy fuck. I've never been much into FPS games but this one's getting me into it. So much fun and so much gayness.
• Hotline Miami. I never got through the fucking police station level.
• Subnautica. I didn't think much of it when I started playing until I understood how to get around without starving. Finding the little bits of story kind of reminds me of Outer Wilds, which is great.
• Beyond Good and Evil. I LOST ALL PROGRESS WHEN I CHANGED TO MY NEW PC. I loved the story and was getting very close to the end (I believe) but losing the save file really discouraged me. I'll try to get back to it someday.
• Persona 4 Golden. I stopped playing it for no reason at all lmao. Honestly I was liking it more than Persona 5. Sure, the aesthetic and the music in Persona 5 are great, but the characters in Persona 4 are more loveable in my opinion. The ones in Persona 5 feel kind of bland (but I really liked it nonetheless).
• Yakuza Kiwami 2. I really want to play it but I haven't bought it yet for whatever reason.
• Hollow Knight, Rainworld, Blasphemous. Bought them all in the metroidvania's Humble Bundle and I really want to play them, especially Rainworld. I've already played it a bit (sorry, I pirated it beforehand to make sure I would like it) and enjoyed it so far. Died a lot too.

That's enough!! No wonder I never finish anything!

Another goal I have is to start selling art commissions. I honestly don't know how to do it or if anyone will be willing to pay me, but I'm going to need the money for university! I've won a few art contests and I'd say my drawings are pretty decent, so now I need to find a way to reach people.

That would be it for now! It feels good knowing I spent an hour writing so focused like this. I haven't been focusing properly lately (mostly because I didn't want to study), so let's hope the motivation I feel now lasts. I'm excited to keep working on this!

MUSIC TAGS!

MEDIA!

this is so cool

Tufai, a project I've been working on. It's about a robot who's trying to come back to Earth after an expedition in space.
