Was at a family christmas party yesterday. I'm not a party animal to say the least, and especially with how much time I spend on my studies and within the field of computer science engineering in general I find it hard to have meaningful conversations with my relatives. Of course I do, we practically live in completely different worlds! I'm the eldest of my generation and quite a bit younger than the next youngest person in my family. My oldest cousins who are approaching university age (or are at university age) are invested in fields that are foreign to me. My youngest cousins still show interest, but outside of my fakemon fangame they can't understand anything I do (who can blame them? sometimes I don't understand either lol). The oldest in the family are in the 70-90 years old age range. Time is whittling them down slowly, but they're still standing strong after everything. My grandfather started the party by serenading my grandmother with a poem. He was/is a historian, photographer and writer, and his skills have not eroded one bit. It was truly beautiful and heartfelt.

In contrast to this, my uncle (who manages a graphic design company and has an art degree) made his christmas cards' design using genAI. My mom on the other hand, who has none of the education but years of experience without ever having an arts job, designed the christmas cards herself using stock photos and a lot of hours. Given that I am her child and I have a good relationship with her, it's no wonder that she shares some of my sentiments regarding genAI. But I don't want to sour this blogpost more than it already is, so I'll lay off the AI stuff now.

In a way, I feel like I can't really enjoy the holidays as much due to my exams in January, if that makes sense? I feel guilty when I have deadlines and am not actively studying (or at the very least, sitting at my desk). Still, I also can't study for hours on end. I persevere either way. The days before the party I spent some time playing PEAK with my international friend group. Truthfully told, that resulted in some of the happiest moments I've had in months (including but not limited to eating my friend >:) hehehehe). It somewhat worries me every time I get this feeling, because I know irl relationships are more important than relationships over the internet. I think things will brighten up once I no longer have exams and can spend more time with my family and friends. Either way, happy holidays to all!

Alright, site's been revealed on my social media now. Got 10x more daily visits than I would otherwise, so that's neat. Still, there's so much left to do for this website and so many things I still want to learn that I kind of feel guilty for not being able to work more on this? I guess the fact that the final deadlines & subsequent exams are creeping up on me is kind of draining my energy to actually work on university assignments: all that's left goes to brainstorming about what I want to do with my website in the future. There's also still a lot of websites I want to explore, even some I'm linking on my website. That said though... these feelings are some I've never felt on other social media websites. It's usually just wanting to make art and post it, whereas now the source of the posts itself feels like art. Once things calm down a bit in my life I'm going to speedrun everything I want to do, and maybe some more :)

No personal website is complete without a blog it seems. Thinking about doing maybe around 20 blogposts per page.

As of writing this, I've just about finished the personal part of my website. The Six Stars part came first, only then did I do all this green shit. I did the entirety of this personal part in one week. So, I'm going to conclude it with some maintenance before shoving it online and some notes on what I might do in the future. First and foremost, I'm going to look for more neocities sites to interact with. It's kind of overwhelming to be honest since there's so much stuff on here. Of course there are a lot of personal websites but I'm less interested in those for now. I want my website to be useful and not just a place to post about myself. The web directory needs some more work. Really tempted to use it for underrated artists. I want to make some icons for the browser tabs. Also want to add a 404 page. I'm also hoping to add some sort of interactivity to Six Stars' website in the future, maybe through comments or a public group chat. No idea how I'd go about maintaining that: I've got no backend and moderating feels like a chore. Still, I'm sure there are some good solutions on this platform. I saw Chattable being a thing on here but I have no clue how it works yet. In the meantime university assignments are still beating my ass, so don't expect there to be updates on this part of the website anytime soon. I'll keep updating the Six Stars website though, expect a new mon to be revealed every two weeks or so.
