📌 currently i'm still more active on Twitter/X so you should really follow me there if you still use it, but if not, i'm doing my best to cross-post to Bluesky anyways :3
that being said, social media in general is very low priority in my life atm and Discord remains the best way to reach out to me

i'm SO glad i decided to build my PC in august
my SSD went from 165€ to 305€, almost a 100% increase ❗️
my RAM went from 170€ to 685€, a whopping 300% increase ‼️
my 1315€ PC would've costed an additional 655€ more, which is a 50% increase, & also 140% of the minimum wage

i've recently informed myself about the currently skyrocketing RAM prices
turns out, the sticks that i got in July/August (literally only 3 months ago, when i built my PC) are now nearly 2.5x the price
i'm beginning to think that the $600 steam machine dream may be dead </3

this is the first pc i've ever used that doesn't have any additional (storage or optical) drives
to this day it's still unusual plugging in a USB drive and having windows automatically mount it to D:\
it feels almost illegal lmao

thanks to the recently released Highlands mod for TrackMania United Forever, we now have 8 TMUF environments (and 11 total across all TrackMania games) - what a wild timeline we live in...
and, of course, i had to make a bulbmobile skin for it, to match my other TMUF/TM2 cars :3

throughout my life i've only managed to develop what feels like 10% of the habits i wanted to develop and i honest to god don't know why :3
i also wish i knew why said "not-so-habits" are DRASTICALLY easier to follow through when euphoric, and near impossible when in a bad mood

it's gotten a bit better since smissmas dropped, but it's still not great
the only gamemode i've consistently had luck finding players in was payload, but i honest to god can't stand meat-grinder slop for more than a handful of matches, and it's not worth the pain & suffering :3

can anyone tell me what's up with tf2 casual matchmaking lately?
upwards of 80% of my matches start with only half the server full, and often times even those 12 players quickly leave the server
i've had more luck with populated servers during the bot crisis, what is going on??

speaking of OMSI 2 Bus Simulator, i've also released the long-overdue 1.4 version of OMSIPresence after nearly 2 years lol
it fixes quite a lot of bugs, with a few improvements on the side, and it is (hopefully) the last minor update (unless new bugs/issues were to occur)

during my short break from social media earlier this month, i've been working on a few QoL plugins for OMSI 2 Bus Simulator :3
currently, i am experimenting with automatic stop announcements that work with any bus, regardless of HOF, without having to modify any of the bus files
