This won’t be a long read, but I figured I’d put something written more coherently to stand here until I replace it with another post sometime in 2025.
Firstly here’s my Plans for the Foreseeable Future: https://cyberneticshotokan.newgrounds.com/news/post/1482105
None of these have changed.
But anyway on to the Update. 2024 has been strange. On a personal level it’s been a Year of Healing and getting my Life back on track after 2020 really shook me up for the next few years. And I should have most of my Personal Affairs in order by this time next year if not sooner. But it’s no Secret how Rough this, and the last few years, have been. Especially for Artists. This little ban from Newgrounds was a nice wake up call in disguise, because I’ve been on a similar grind for Years now. Since I dropped out of High School, and honestly before even that. And with various Scary and/or Irritating News Stories of the Week playing out, and me taking time to really think on how the Industry and Art Sphere’s been the last few years. I’ve decided I’m slowing down on Creative Work until sometime in Spring 2025. I’m not quitting, and I have been Working still with some Art ready to share here when the Ban’s lifted Nov 14th. While I’ve come to the conclusion that the Art Sphere’s the best it’s been in Years in many regards, there are many clear and harrowing issues within. There were Significant Events in 2020 that reignited my Depression Hardcore, after I had felt resolute in 2019. Some in my personal life, others in the wider world. And 2019 already had it’s own troubles. I Hate how many of these News Posts have been about trying to come to terms with stuff only for New, Similar Stuff to play out.
But there have been Great Things in the past few years as well. And now that I’m not drowning in PTSD-Fueled Manic Depression as much, nor do I feel as pressured to figure stuff out despite it after getting a lot done in these few years (This One Especially). I need to really take time to try and Appreciate all the Good of these years. While not forgetting the Bad.
So yeah, this is my Final Update of 2024. I’ll probably make some Happy Holidays Posts for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Honestly just making more casual News Posts here like I have in the Past sounds like a lot of Fun. But for now this will stand to represent my current mindset on things until I make something more Formal for Informing ya’ll about Set and Future Plans. For now, if you’d like to hear from me Near Daily my Twitter’s an option. Tho I do plan to spend more time here to help in Reappreciating Art. I’ve also made a BlueSky I plan to visit more alongside branching out to others.
Thanks for all the Kindness and Fun Conversations had here. I hope to show more Appreciation for that without being a Suck Up about it. Happy Holidays Everyone, I wish us all a Good New Year!

Aww that’s very sweet of you!
And Impressive as well, I’m not sure what you’d call this type of Art with Text; but I’ve always had some fondness for it!
