This is going to be a short one, but it will contain a bunch of information.

This is Alory, crossposting this to Newgrounds and Pixilart. You might be wondering where I've been these last couple months, as I've not been posting much about art or recent content. Well, I've been busy with videos and minor projects that I can't show as I'd like to keep them a surprise (unless you were to see me post stuff in some Discord servers or look at GitHub) but honestly those have prevented me from remembering about these sites, as I've drawn a *ton* of stuff, lots of good, lots of bad, and honestly I'm just quickly looking back here to see what some cool artists have posted and such.

I know Pixilart has been a bit dead and another part just evolving in a way that I haven't accommodated to, which is weird to see such new style of artists while I draw in my own way which is kind of bending to the other side (this weird hybrid of Mario, Sonic, Friday Night Funkin', Anime, and just slight skewing towards different aspects of each with overlaps) so it's odd, but cool.

For those subscribed to me on YouTube, you might wonder why I haven't uploaded in maybe a week or two (I've lost track) and that's since I've had a bit of technical difficulties since the 19th of July since my PC decided that it didn't want to boot into Windows, so I've been trying (and still trying) to figure out an ideal way of existing with Windows 11 and with all my data.

My final fallback would to just use Linux (even if I have to re-setup everything and have a slightly less stable experience) since it beats using macOS since I can only use an old version, and beats having all my data on my laptop, as there isn't space on it for what I have in addition to what I have stored on there, so everything is weird.

So far the progress has been kinda good, I managed to *install* Windows 11 again and it work, and so I moved my content, had 2 BSODS related to a driver, and then when everything seemed good, my PC decided to not boot into Windows, which is concerning, but I feel I'm close enough to being done with that.

TLDR: My PC has been having issues with Windows but I feel I might be almost done with it.

Another factor into how difficult this has been is due to how weirdly I have my partitions laid out on this 1TB hard drive included into my PC, but whatever.

Another reason I haven't uploaded as much to Newgrounds is because part of me has wanted to upload all my thumbnails until now on one art submission (depends on how many images I'm allowed to have) but honestly that's been on hold as I never had the time and kept forgetting about it. I think since my last thumbnail post, I've probably had like 50 videos uploaded by then (likely a large stretch, but who knows.)

Anyways, I don't know how to end this off, but I'm hoping by September I can have some awesome stuff to share with you all, otherwise I'll stay silent until then.
