Hello there, internet sleuths, @ajhalili2006 from the future (2024-09-08) speaking here. While this one is from my Substack publication's later content, I still kept this in the Ghost publication archives here for posterity.

I know I am a bit of procrastinating writing the monthly status updates lately due to autistic burnout and school, among other things, but I'm working on it at the moment. So enjoy reading the back issues while ironing out the kinks post-import and expect more posts from the drafts backburner soon.

Peace out!

Spoiler: I published this first on Hashnode as a way to reach more readers, and I know I may abandon some of you over at Medium and Wordpress.com, but I’ll be working on it soon.

Sometimes, being busy in school I miss posting status updates by a few weeks up to the point I’m considering going quarterly status updates instead of doing this every two months, although like ~sircmpwn, I might not be able to do it on time and maybe get consolidated into one to avoid backlogs on the pile of Substack drafts behind the scenes.

By the way, I'm late for this, but happy first anniversary over at my personal Substack (it is created on 2022-06- if you don't want to peek into the DevTools Network tab).

For fanfic writers and fan artists, here’s your another (cursed) prompt hellscape

Sure, I might technically be having a field day in both the Lackadaisy and Murder Drones communities (and more), but yeah…

(If you have no idea about Yupia (or WTFBBQ why we're talking about Story X in Gildedguy's Discord about that), then please behold and watch “Erase Humanity” on YouTube.)

What about Ranboo’s Generation Loss?

That was nerve-wracking to watch, especially MTRCB would (technically the video description mentioned it) rate this as R-18. Also bless anyone who were traumatized after the finale (context via this custom Red Screen of Death below).

If you want a bit of mixtaping from hell while we wait for the official soundtrack, here’s my SoundCloud playlist (you can also find this on YouTube and Spotify at your will).

The “what could go wrong” Twitter handle change

To make my username match across platforms, I decided to officially change mine after literally years being stuck on my childhood-ish Twitter username (good that older posts before I reach 13 were automagically nuked to hell as part of birthdate change for obvious privacy reasons)

But before that happened, I did some switch-and-bait on Keybase behind the scenes and this happened. Musk always loves violence against third-party devs and literally every single API user, but maybe backend changes on Keybase's side caused this chaos to happen.

At least the school year is done

Well without going to hell (and back), having thoughts about actually digging my own grave (spoiler: clip from Eclipse Lake episode in The Owl House) and even getting a coffin for myself as a neurodivergent overworking while balancing between school and personal projects.

Although there's a blog post behind the scenes about that since a few days before the ceremony, that didn't get published on time for personal reasons (maybe I'm late for weeks) and burnout hit me like the bus factor.

That's it, by the way.

See you in September (or October if things get busy real quick) for the Senior High School hell month edition, although I may take a hiatus from writing blog posts to warm up for the next school year as needed and recharge my social battery again. There will be more to cover than this because taking a bit of sabbatical on personal projects (especially on ones under @recaptime-dev) and having field days on my special interests.

I'm Andrei Jiroh, and now signing off. Have a nice day!
