IT. IS. TIME.

Hope everyone had a good holiday season and has a happy new year!



Okay, I know I said I wouldn't post any more entries in my LJ or DW until the cross-posting issue is resolved, and I'm still declaring myself officially on hiatus until that happens. But I'm making one lone exception because:

IT IS TIME.



I know I posted this video earlier this year because I was impatient. But IT IS TIME. I can't believe it.

The future according to my childhood... IS HERE. (In some time zones. Mine is not one of them. YET.)


In other news, I'm still feeling anxious about the YouTube COPPA stuff. I know some of you (and a few articles/videos I found while Googling about it) don't think it's anything to worry about. But unfortunately, enough people are still concerned that it's something to worry about that I can't be too sure.


Approximately what my past self thought I would be asking right about now: "It's almost 2020. By now all text ever written should be in digital fonts and the 2020 music from Vegas Stakes should start playing everywhere! Why hasn't that happened yet???"

What I'm ACTUALLY asking right about now: "Are my favorite YouTube channels going to stay around?? Is COPPA something to worry about, or is not something to worry about, or was it something to worry about originally but then that one YouTuber stepped in and saved the day? Does any of this affect DeviantArt too?? I want to know for sure!!! And I'm about to find out for sure!!! But then it will be too late!!!"

Wait a minute

Does crossposting to LJ work again? I got a different error message from the one before, because I recently changed my LJ password. So maybe this time, that was the only reason the crosspost failed?

Testing

EDIT: YES!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

One hour to go.

Dear everyone who has told me, or their YouTube followers, or whoever, that the YouTube COPPA thing is nothing to worry about:

There's enough of you by now that I can KIND of take your word for it. But I am going to be SO MAD if you turn out to be wrong and this is the end of YouTube as we know it after all.

It's hard to describe this journal in just a few paragraphs... but I'll try

Just an autistic guy born in 1993 (hence the username) who's had this journal since I was 14. Has trouble phrasing things well especially in earlier entries, so keep that in mind.

My interests have fluctuated in the 17 years since I've had this journal, but the following has remained constant:
- I like Mario games (mainly the platformers, Mario Kart, Mario Party) and Super Smash Bros.
- I like Garfield
- I like Homestar Runner
- I like Enya
- And I've always loved the idea of wacky crossovers between ANY of my interests, whether it's in the form of a short-lived webcomic in 2006-2008, a short-lived backwards lyrics site in 2008, writing down weird dreams in 2009-2011, playing Tomodachi Life a lot in 2014-2016, or what most of my posts are about these days: playing around with Character.AI starting in 2023. I still can't believe I'm actually in a world where an AI of Enya can talk to AIs of Mario or Garfield or even my favorite obscure characters like Mary O. from Super Mario Maker. :O
