Right now I am way too: blah

Well, I turned 29 last month. I thought that THIS year, I wouldn't be too depressed or unmotivated to write an entry about what I got for my birthday this year and would manage to do so AND finally post about what I got for my 27th and 28th birthdays as well. (I mean, I did post about some of my 27th birthday gifts, but in an unconventional entry and also didn't mention all of them.) But, sadly, I was still too depressed/unmotivated to get around to posting it - just not for the same reasons this time.

And today is the 15th anniversary of my LiveJournal. For years I've had an idea for something cool to make and post for the 15th anniversary of my LJ (or even the tenth anniversary since that's how long ago I thought of it!), but with so many other things on my to-do list, I never got around to working on it even when I was feeling okay - guess I'll have to aim for having that be an 18th or 20th anniversary post or something. And again, I was hoping to at least post an LJ comment stats entry for this year like I used to do every year for the anniversary of my journal, but I guess I'm once again not motivated enough to get around to that.

You know what's an even more odd milestone than the fact that I'm 29 years old, or that it's the 15th anniversary of my journal, or even that I'm coming up on my fifth anniversary at work (and am already well past that if counting before I was hired on full-time)?

The fact that I haven't posted an entry to LJ or DW in EIGHTY-SEVEN DAYS.

I didn't even realize it had been that long until about a week ago! To be fair, in July there were comments on the LJ version of my May entry so I have an excuse for not noticing it had been that long, but still... EIGHTY-SEVEN DAYS.

That's the third-longest hiatus between entries in my ENTIRE history on LiveJournal - and the only two hiatuses that were longer were December 2007-June 2008 and June 2008-February 2009.
Do you know how long ago that was? THIRTEEN YEARS ago.
So long ago that LJ wasn't even my favorite hobby yet and for over a year all I did on LJ was post a few entries and join one already-inactive community. I really do mean a few entries - the entry in 2009 that ended the hiatus and marked the beginning of LJ becoming my favorite hobby? That was my TENTH entry out of 1,535. (For that matter, it feels like it's been a while since my 1,500th entry, yet apparently I've only posted 36 more entries since then including this one?)

Does... Does that mean LJ is no longer my favorite hobby? Even when I was worried about rumors about LJ shutting down, or about drama on LJ, or the possibility of offending people - and even those when I INTENDED to go on a hiatus from posting for a while because I was worried about what people think! - I still liked LJ enough to post to it at least once a month, or at the very least more often than once every 87 days. That makes me sad. :(

I'm definitely still not going to LEAVE LiveJournal, but... wow. :(

I miss my LJ friends from the old days. I miss having friends on here that I feel understood by. Not to say that I DON'T have active friends on LJ or DW who understand me, but I don't feel as understood as I used to. If more of my LJ friends from the good old days were still here, I'd probably be more motivated to post. I worry a lot about what my newer LJ/DW friends think (or might think) about entries and comments I wrote in the early days, when I did a lot, lot, LOT of oversharing on LJ (something that I'm probably not even any better at avoiding now).

I don't know what else to say right now. There's many things I want to post about, but some of them good and some of them are bad (and the bad ones are very different from one another) so I'm never sure how to post about both good and bad things that happened without coming across as insensitive or tone-deaf like I end up doing pretty much EVERY time I EVER try to post about anything.

Right now I am way too: depressed

I thought I was done having to worry about my LJ/DW friends leaving all of a sudden, but now

valerie_inlove/

jalerie either left both LJ and DW recently or moved to a new username. Which is sad because we got along so well. :(

If you're reading this and you're still on LJ/DW, can you let me know what your new username is? If you're not still on LJ/DW, I'll miss you. :'(

Right now I am way too: nostalgic

I'm two days behind in posting about this (I don't post about ANYTHING the day it happens anymore, apparently...) but happy 40th anniversary, Garfield! :)

I still remember back when Garfield's 25th anniversary was pretty recent. I was REALLY obsessed with Garfield in that era (2003-2004)... I can't believe that era was fifteen years ago. (Or that, interestingly enough, I'm going to be 25 in less than a month!)

Mini-rant time: I kinda don't like how there are soooo many people nowadays (especially authors of other comics I like) who think that Garfield is objectively never funny, or objectively less funny than it used to be, or what have you... because of them (and especially because of how, at least in 2013-2015 or so, Square Root of Minus Garfield steadily became less about what I liked about it - surreal, often mathematical mashups of Garfield strips - and more of a place for people to edit Garfield comics to insult fans of whatever they don't like, which is more often than not Garfield itself), I feel like I'm not allowed to like what I like. Not even the fact that I know there's plenty of Garfield fans in my LJ friends list keeps me from worrying about it. :( And yes, a big part of why I'm posting this entry is so hopefully I can finally get this off my chest after worrying about it sporadically for the past several years.

EDIT: And now that the YouTube video that made me worry about this the most recently and motivated me to post a mini-rant like this showed up in related videos a second time, might as well link to it in this entry.

Right now I am way too: annoyed

I AM GOING TO UNFRIEND ANYONE WHO POSTS AN ENTRY ABOUT THE "LAUREL" AND "YANNY" DEBATE.

...okay, I won't really unfriend anyone because of it, but seriously - ( I'm sick enough of hearing about it that I had to post a rant about how I'm annoyed by it )

Right now I am way too: scared

Okay.

HOW, JUST HOW, DID PHOTOBUCKET MANAGE TO REPLACE ALL MY DREAMWIDTH USERPICS WITH THEIR PLACEHOLDER IMAGE?!

HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??

My userpics aren't even hosted ON Photobucket!!!

I'm... quite scared right now. :O

Fortunately, my LJ userpics don't seem to be affected for whatever reason. (YET...)

You know what? I decided I'm giving up on this whole "keep a DW account as a backup" thing and going back to just using LJ. It was so much easier when I only had one journal to maintain... (Though while I highly doubt I'll change my mind about this, please, if you list me as a friend on here, keep me listed just in case).

Goodbye, DreamWidth.

Right now I am way too: tired

Only four more days of work until Christmas break! Yay, I'll finally get some time to relax! For, like 11 days. I hope that's going to be enough...

And I'm still not even halfway done fixing my old entries. It's gonna be forever until I get my peace of mind back, get to check my friends page regularly again, etc...

Right now I am way too: disappointed

So, I posted before when I found out in July that Photobucket made it so that users have to pay $400 a year for their images to show up anywhere other than Photobucket (and how it was disheartening since I WOULD have been able to see them if I hadn't been such a procrastinator for several years, and also couldn't fix them because I don't even use Photobucket and if I did I still couldn't fix anyone else's), but then I think I also posted when I found out that I could still see the images in Photobucket itself by opening the image in a new tab in Chrome.

Well, now I can't even do THAT anymore - the images are broken on Photobucket itself now! I'm not sure whether that's because I switched computers or whether it's because Photobucket somehow made their Terms of Service even WORSE, but one thing is for sure:

I SHOULD NEVER HAVE PUT OFF CHECKING MY FRIENDS PAGE OR ANY OF THE WEBCOMICS I USED TO READ BACK IN 2011-2013. Pretending I've gone back in time to finish all of that sooner is not going to cut it. Even if I also link to the DW version of the entry I just linked to.

I should've at least started catching up earlier than 2015... When I played Super Smash Bros. for 3DS for the first time, I played All-Star Mode, and hearing this soothing but slightly sad-sounding music in between rounds and seeing the years the characters debuted (especially when they were years I was around for, especially especially when it was as recent as 2001-2006 or 2007-2013) written on a wall in what looks like ancient ruins really gave me the feels the first time around and made me think about how long I'd been putting off the stuff I wanted to catch up on - why didn't I start my trip through memory lane THEN (besides the fact that I was still super excited to finally play that game)? If I had, I might actually be done by now!

I feel like the world (especially the Internet) is just becoming more and more destroyed by the minute... not only that, I've been feeling like I'VE let the world get destroyed by waiting all the way until 2015 to start catching up on everything I wanted to catch up on! I know that sounds silly, but it also sounds exactly like how I feel every time something else I could've seen years ago but didn't disappears. Which is ALWAYS.

Well, FINE!! If you can't beat the fact that half of the Internet looks like Comments on a Postcard fanstuff now, JOIN the fact that half of the Internet looks like Comments on a Postcard fanstuff now!

pathvain_aelien and

glowing_dragon, did you know that the two of you joined LJ on the same day?! I've been LJ friends with you since 2007 and 2011 respectively and I just found that out today! Wow. :)

When did the rest of you join LJ or DW? I want to see if there's any other crazy coincidences like that. :)

Happy a-few-minutes-early-in-my-time-zone birthday to me! :)

And also happy birthday to

13catswaltz, who has the same birthday as me! :)

And also also to Luigi - because Mario Bros. was released in Japan on July 14, 1983; my negative tenth birthday. ;)

Hey, there's an idea for a totally nerdy survey...

This page has a table (several paragraphs down from the beginning of that section...) that lists the dates every* Super Smash Bros. character debuted (because in SSB4, the order you fight them in All-Star Mode is based on that).

Use that to figure out your answers to these questions:

1) Which SSB character(s), if any, debuted on your birthday in any year?
Luigi

2) Which SSB character(s) debuted closest to the date you were born?
Meta Knight (debuted March 23, 1993 - the date closest to July 14, 1993 in that list).

3) Which SSB character(s) debuted closest to the date you created your LiveJournal/DreamWidth/some-other-journal-site account? (If you have/had multiple journals, you may answer this separately for all of them, some of them, or just one. Whichever you prefer.)
My LJ was created on August 19, 2007 - the character whose debut was closest to that is Rosalina (November 1, 2007).
My DW was created on May 13, 2017, long after the debut of the newest character (Corrin, on June 25, 2015).

:)

*Except Miis, alternate characters (the Koopalings and Alph), and characters from Melee and Brawl who aren't in SSB4. ( I went ahead and looked up the relevant dates in case you want to include them )

Okay, anxiety, I get why you think the entire Internet is going to be gone two years from now. You're probably right about that.

But WHY are you continuing to make me worry about everyone hating me for still liking/using/refusing to leave LJ? It's been nearly TWO MONTHS, and not one person has actually said "I hate you because you still like LJ", and I've actually met several new friends who are on LJ and not DreamWidth. So why are you still making me worry about it?! Anxiety, you're ruining my life!

Sincerely,
Matt1993

Okay, it's become ABUNDANTLY clear that EVERY community I've ever posted in on LJ is probably going to be gone by the end of the month, so this is definitely the best time (unless I can go back in time and do this several years ago...) for me to finally start creating a backup account on DreamWidth.

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMUNITIES UP AT LEAST UNTIL I HAVE EVERY ENTRY I POSTED IN THEM SAVED SOMEWHERE.

The sky is falling,
Matt1993

Before I create a DW account, though, I still have a few more questions:

- What happens to the userpics on my entries if I start having them be automatically copied over to DW before I upload the same userpics to DreamWidth? Will the keywords still be there so that if I upload userpics to DreamWidth with the same keywords, they'll show up where they're supposed to? (Does DW even use userpic keywords?)
- Can entries that are automatically transferred from LJ to DW be edited manually when they're on DreamWidth? Because I might have to if something in them doesn't get copied over.
- I want to backup my entries in my own journal AND my entries in LJ communities to DreamWidth so the latter won't be lost if when more communities I posted in disappear. I'm so desperate that I'll even copy every community entry over one by one if I have to (which I will have to for

autism, anyway - via email notifications about comments on my entries there, because luckily I still have those), but is there any way to have that automatically be done? And if so, will the comments stay there?
- Which of the communities I mentioned do you think has the highest chance of being deleted anytime soon? That way I can start with those.

EDIT: Created my account on DW - my username is still matt1993. (Is there a way to link to a DW account from LJ or vice versa, like with the <lj> tag?) Anyway, I'm still setting up a lot of things on DW, but if I list you as a friend on LJ and I know your DreamWidth username, I added you there as well. If I didn't add you yet, then add me on DreamWidth and I'll add you back (if you have different LJ and DW usernames, tell me your DW username through LJ or vice versa). :)

Right now I am way too: WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

(music tag should be: "Kid Icarus: Uprising soundtrack - The War's End (if you see scary/apocalyptic video game music in the music tag, that usually means I'm worried about something. But sometimes it doesn't.)")

Apparently I just posted one of the most popular entries on LJ. Which I guess is pretty easy to do if I'm one of the only people still posting to LJ at all...

So, hi new people! Sorry for all the inside jokes that would've made much more sense^{[citation needed]} if you'd been here 7 or 8 years ago. Before you go asking me what "HWHD" or "WTCN" or whatever means, visit my FAQ and glossary of Matt1993isms (taking into account that the former is fairly up-to-date but the latter was last updated in 2011).

Anyway, onto the important stuff:

I THINK I read all of your comments. I know why people are moving to DreamWidth (well, NOW I know, but until now I'd heard a lot of seemingly different reasons and wasn't sure which, if any, were accurate), and I agree that it would be a good idea for me to create a backup journal on DreamWidth (or maybe another site) because who knows how long LJ will be around and how long anyone else will be on LJ at the rate things are going.

But at the same time, LiveJournal has been one of my favorite hobbies, if not my #1 favorite hobby, for over a third of my life (I'm 23, turning 24 in July, and have been active since February 2009 when I was 15½). So I am NOT going to leave LJ entirely. There is no way I can - it's just too much of a part of who I am, and I really hope that one day it goes back to the way it was.

I've finally decided that my plan is to have a LiveJournal AND a DreamWidth (or a LiveJournal AND an account on some other journal site). In fact, I would start creating my backup account RIGHT NOW if it weren't for the fact that I need to decide what site to backup my LJ to.

I'm going to need a site that has most, if not all, of the features that I use on LiveJournal - I want to make my DreamWidth (or whatever) similar enough to my LJ that it will be REALLY easy for me to adjust to using both.

This means I want to find a site with:
- A way to make TWO accounts. I've been wanting to make a separate journal on LJ for dreams for a long time - now that THIS just happened, when I finally get around to making a LJ dream journal, I'd want to have a backup of that on DreamWidth or whatever as well.
- The ability to use at least 116 userpics, because that's how many "regular" userpics I have right now. (I'd VERY strongly prefer the limit be significantly more than 116, though.)
- A way to make a profile and interests list similar to what LJ has.
- A friends page.
- A way to automatically backup my old entries and the comments on them to the new journal - with the mood, music, location, repost buttons, images, videos, tags, timestamps, friends-only status, custom friends groups, and probably something else I forgot intact. (A lot of you said DreamWidth lets you import entries and comments with most of these intact.) Or, at the very least, I need it to be possible to manually add whichever of these things would not automatically be transferred. (

cactus_rs, you said that I'd lose images and videos - you don't mean that images and videos can't be used at all in entries on DW, do you? :( Though I guess I could just have the videos be replaced with the URLs for them if I have to...)
- A way to upload images similar to ScrapBook - and with them having the same privacy settings as entries.
- A way to have comments be screened.
- A way to make the journal style similar to the one I'm using here. By this I just mean I don't want it to be TOO drastically different - I think any yellow layout would work. And this only applies to my journal - other pages on whatever site I backup my LJ to don't have to look anything like LJ in terms of design as long as the features I need are there.
- Probably something else I forgot. I'll edit this entry if I remember anything else.

How many of these features does DreamWidth have? Does another site have more of these features? Am I making any sense whatsoever? (I've been misunderstood a lot before. I REALLY hope that doesn't happen here...)

Right now I am way too: disappointed
Soundtrack: Snippets of Mario, Kid Icarus, SSB, BtVS, Enya, Dido, Céline Dion, Sarah McLachl

(music tag should be: Snippets of Mario, Kid Icarus, SSB, BtVS, Enya, Dido, Céline Dion, Sarah McLachlan, Moya Brennan, Matchbox 20, Rascal Flatts, & Savage Garden music thrown together randomly in Audacity)

This has been kind of a disappointing April Fools' Day because:

1) Homestar Runner didn't update at all today, even though they did for April Fools' Day 2014, 2015, and 2016, and April Fools and Halloween are almost the only times they ever update nowadays.
2) I don't think many people noticed my April Fools prank at all.

For reference, my April Fools prank was this entry; however, when I first posted it (on March 31 in my time zone, but late enough that it was April 1 already for some of you), it was an exact copy of my first entry. Then I waited a few minutes or so and changed it to a copy of a different past entry in the same way... then changed it to another after a few more minutes, and so on - basically, if I was at my computer, I'd change the entry anywhere from once an hour to once every few minutes. (At first. I gradually updated it less and less often because it seemed like no one was noticing...)

By "exact copy", that means including the subject line, repost button, userpic, tags, mood, music, location... basically, everything except the timestamp, the comments, and friends-only status [though, of course, the only friends-only entries I used were ones that probably would've been fine being public]. And anything that I intended to change each time but accidentally forgot sometimes. Though if I used an entry I'd posted in

_dreams_,

autism, or

asperger, I added a notice saying that it was cross-posted (even though I don't think copying a community entry to my own journal years later for April Fools' Day actually counts as cross-posting).

I chose the entries semi-randomly, sometimes by going to my Calendar for random years and months and picking a random entry I'd feel comfortable posting again, and sometimes by just putting in notable entries that I remember and wanted to include in this prank at some point. Some entries were used more than once.

And just to mess with your heads even more, I thought it might be fun to come up with a hypothetical FUTURE entry and add it into the mix! That's what the 2023 year in review is for. It ended up being my favorite thing about this prank, so I left that one up significantly longer than any other single entry.

Now that April Fools' Day is over, all the entries I ended up using are listed below for posterity. (Don't expect the repost buttons to work correctly, though...)

( The entries that you could've sworn that you'd seen already and/or that they said something completely different a few minutes ago, in order of their first use in this prank )

Right now I am way too: nostalgic, and not in the good way
Soundtrack: A Super Mario World Holiday

So, in the aftermath of a lot of my ScrapBook images mysteriously going missing (and the images I had hosted on Google Sites also going missing nearly two years ago*, though I have since restored the ones used before August 2009 and am in the process of restoring the rest), I have an idea:

I suggest that everyone reading this (especially those of you who are new or relatively new to my friends list) please do the following a few times:

- Pick a random year between 2007 and the present (except 2008; I only had one post that year and it has no images, broken or not), a random month, and a random day of that month
- Go to http://matt1993.livejournal.com/yyyy/mm/dd/, replacing the yyyy/mm/dd with the date you picked
- If I posted that day, read those entries to find out a) a glimpse of what I was doing in that era and b) whether or not there are any broken images in those entries. And then if there are, let me know in the comments on this one.

If at least some of you do this a few times, you'll get to learn a little more about me and I'll have a slightly easier time pinpointing just how many images in my journal are broken! (And I'll also get a better idea of how many of my entries make sense to people who haven't been here since 2009 or so!) :)

*Wait, that was nearly two years ago?!?

EDIT: Hey, LiveJournal's staff fixed it - the images show up in my ScrapBook now! I still have yet to make sure they show up in my actual entries, though. Note to self: if I come across an image that doesn't show up, press Ctrl+F5 before assuming that it's still missing.

To all of you who looked through random entries to see if there were any broken images: Thank you for the help! :)

Right now I am way too: awake

I start work in (probably) 36 days... I'm so nervous! :O

Also, yes, I'm still retaking quizzes I took years ago to see how things have changed, and I'm still taking new quizzes. I just haven't posted the results of either in a couple of weeks.

When I retook "How Evil Are You?" I got "not evil", which is what I got over seven years ago, so I'll just link to the entry where I posted the original result instead of reposting it.

But the next one I retook, I did get a different result.

Old result from over seven years ago:

Originally posted by

( stuff unrelated to the quiz, so it's under a cut in this repost )

Anycattlenotingway, here's the obligatory quiz:

How geeky are you?

You are not really Geeky!

You may like a few things that are geeky, but overall you arenâ€™t really much of a geek.

Oh yeah? Well, I know the last digit of pi! It's...uh...green.

Get the conch

(Since the people I just added as friends are probably wondering: Yes, my writing style seven years ago was full of inside jokes, mostly inspired by backwards lyrics. That's why I have a glossary. :) )

Since I'm not into every single thing that's stereotypically geeky, I think my old result makes more sense than either of my new results. Yes, I actually retook it twice - the first time, I got "not a geek", but I took it again since there were a few answers that I wanted to change as soon as I clicked on them, so then I got:

You are a Super Geek!
You are into everything that is geeky – which is hard because there are so many types of geeks. You are very smart and have a great imagination. People who call you a geek are just jealous, right?

I went from "not a geek" to "super geek" just like that? I think that quiz is broken. :)

Right now I am way too: accomplished

Just now, I decided to at least glance at my friends page for the first time in eight months or so, JUST so that if I still didn't feel comfortable reading it and ended up putting it off for (say) another eight months, it would feel like two 8-month hiatuses instead of one 16-month hiatus, which would hopefully help me feel slightly less like I never get anything done.

So far, how I feel about it is even better than that! WAY better!

When did my friends page suddenly become enjoyable to read again and not almost completely full of drama?! Filtering out certain tags and

asperger entries used to not completely help, so how is it helping now?!

I'm definitely not complaining! Maybe now I can actually go back to checking it regularly for good!

Still feels like I won't be able to completely catch up with all of my friends, though...

There were other things I wanted to mention - many REALLY good, many REALLY bad - but it's already 2:18 AM so I really should go to bed. I just wanted to post now about this momentous occasion!

Wait, who is this matt1993 dude again?

Right now I am way too: accomplished
Soundtrack: relaxing music

I'm done with History II! I feel like I still don't know as much about history as I should, but I knew enough on the final exam today to get an A or a B in the class! :)

I still haven't gotten to catch up on my friends page or finish making my older userpics more legible, though (though I did work on the latter at one point) :(

The rest is history

Right now I am way too: disappointed

Well, Spring Break's over. Not that I can really tell, since I had to work on a group project for Software Engineering for most of the break and it's still only almost done. If I'd known how much time it would've taken up, I'd have checked my friends page before Wednesday, because after that, I once again had so little free time that I ended up preferring to spend it procrastinating over checking my friends page. Sorry :( At least this time I only sometimes spent my procrastination playing video games - I did write down some new userpic ideas, and I did work on the list of things that kinda (or really) remind me of the Forbidden Comment Threads!

Speaking of userpics, continuing to try to make my older userpics more legible was another thing that I would've worked on before Wednesday if I'd known that the rest of Spring Break would be so tied up...

Be too busy with your group project

Right now I am way too: nostalgic
Soundtrack: Enya - Let Olim-- er, Orinoco Flow backwards (ah, those were good times...)

( Original meme (Warning: I used to try to come up with a unique name for the backwards version of every song I wrote down backwards lyrics to, and some of the names sound weird to me now. Especially when the song has no lyrics and so I just used the "opposite" of the original title.) )

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
7. No cheating and doctoring your list to make yourself look cooler than the person you took this from

( New answers! )

You can tell I have a lot of video game music now - and I still haven't actually finished adding all the video game soundtracks that I want on my iPod!

I also removed backwards music from my iPod a while back - I still like backwards music, but at some point it turned out that I wouldn't have enough room for both forwards and backwards versions of every song I have so far.

What’s your sequel’s soundtrack?

Right now I am way too: disappointed
Soundtrack: none because I think I left my headphones at home :(

I had SO much homework to do, and was so unfocused for a while when I was trying to work on it (in fact, there's still some homework left, though much less now) that I had to wait until the day right before the fifth anniversary of me posting this quiz before I scheduled the entry revisiting it.

And, actually, I still can't schedule that entry, because it looks like no quiz on Quiz Galaxy works now. All the ones I've tried (which even included the last one I revisited) will let me answer the questions, but won't show results anymore. Does it work for anyone else?

And, as you can probably tell, I haven't checked my friends page since I scheduled my last entry, either. :(

Have so much homework to do
that you can't repost this entry

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
