It’s the end of the year, which means my stories on social media are flooded with Spotify Wrapped posts and similar “lookbacks” from other services.

I’ve gotten lazy and not done any Thanksgiving post for three years(?!)

I’ve been recently participating in “Touhou 1draw”, where people try to draw a Touhou character in an hour every day.

I’m typing this the week after Sakuracon 2023, listening to my newly-acquired Touhou PC-98 soundtrack CD’s.

Overview One of my acquaintances, nixnull came up with the idea of a “30 Days of FOSS Challenge”.

Drawing 4 is a copy of one of @natsumi_color ’s drawings for my mom!

Drawing 3 is for my second sister and is probably the best drawn one of the five IMO, it’s Qiao Ling also from Link Click (Shiguang Dailiren)!

Drawing 2 is Flandre from the Touhou Project for my big sis!

For Christmas, I drew a picture for each of my sisters and my parents, which pretty much doubled my portfolio size lol.

Marisa Karisame, the ordinary magician and my favorite Touhou Project character.

Like many families who had children grow up in the 90’s and early 2000’s, my family has a wealth of video tapes, onto which my and my siblings’ various antics were recorded.

Another new Touhou game, another ranking of the OSTs.

In today’s post, I’ll be giving my personal ranking of the Touhou CD’s, as well as highlight a few of my favorites from each one.

It’s Giving Tuesday, and I’d encourage everyone who is able to to spare a couple dollars to causes important to them.

GitHub announced several days ago their intention to rename the master branch on the main GitHub interface.

I just finished my final presentation of my entire BS and MS career on Tuesday, so I’ve been going through old school files and cleaning them up.

It’s my tenth and final semester at the University of Texas at Austin, so I thought I’d rage a bit comment on which classes I enjoyed the most and least.

yeashie and Crested both posted fangame thoughts for 2019 so I thought I’d join in on the fun as well.

In the past week, I’ve been working on an unofficial port of Patchouli from Forge 1.14 to Fabric 1.15.

I saw Frozen II today.

Touhou 17 Wily Beast and Weakest Character came out yesterday night, and oh boy it was a solid great out of game.

Just wanted to proudly announce that my first ever translation work has been released!

I saw @thyeashie’s tweet and thought I’d join in on the fun too.
