On my Chromebook since I accidentally unplugged my PC, except this time I'm in my room after showering so if anyone were to guess, they'd assume I'm getting dressed. (Still naked.)

Went to check Reddit as I posted a question on there and...

That's the most amount of Reddit notifications I've had on there ever. Wow.

Update: the question was about "video game console" vibes for Linux and most responded with Bazite, SteamOS, or something similar.

I'm on my Chromebook right now lol.

So many reactions.

Also some small work had been done on the Conductor, it works fine.

Also only on my Chromebook to see if the charger works, as my Switch died and I wasn't sure if the issue was either the charger or the system. Turns out it was just extra dead so yeah.

While I'm here I might as well back up some stuff I didn't get to back up originally. Might draw too, not sure.

Yesterday I tried to spend all day trying to make a Conductor (a thing that can sync stuff to music) on my own but man that was hard. I had two previous tutorials I referenced that helped for the basis, and then I looked at some other conductors for other music games (albeit in the same programming language that I was using, Haxe) and found some complex and simple ones. Most were complex admittedly. Though I found the first version of FNF's conductor (which somehow remained unchanged for a very long time.) And that was very simple. Though I went to see the usage there was for it and there were so many references to it...

All in all it's an experience. I did copy and paste less than a line of code from it to see what would happen and I think it made the Conductor a tiny bit accurate, but I haven't gotten anything to sync to the music I have or a metronome yet.

It's been quite a while, hasn't it?

Well, I have some things I'd like to share on this entry.

Remember on the last news flash on how I stated one part of a mod was almost done? Well, that mod is out now! Go play it when you can, [Inner Monologue v1.01 | Friday Night Funkin'] (As of typing, both files have to be installed.)

What was finished was a chart that held this back a couple months, but now that it's done (for the time being) I've decided I'm going to continue work on two mods I didn't get to work on as much as I'd like to.

What's funny is that like 30 minutes to an hour ago I remembered that the Friday Night Funkin' update comes out tomorrow. Can't wait! (Even though tomorrow I'm going to have to get a lot of schoolwork done since I have six things I have to do if I want to stay ahead and some things for next Monday too. Basically I'm trying to stay a week ahead since Spring Break allowed me to but I didn't do any schoolwork for last Friday/this Friday.)

Funnily enough the mod I mentioned earlier I released on 11:59 PM on a Friday night. (And then like two days later, at 4:50 AM today, I had to make a hotfix.)

So on Friday I was finishing the mod and uploading it, but what about some of the week earlier, or how about Saturday?

Well, earlier in the week (on Wednesday I believ- wait no, Thursday) I woke up after a couple attempts knowing I had to get ready for the barber shop.

My mom and sister went out to get stuff for a birthday present for one of her friends. I was told I was to also go (since everyone thought that my sister and her friends were going to the mall* and one of the friends' brothers was also meant to come too) so I was included.

I think it was why I got a haircut when they returned. Then when I returned (the haircut took 2 hrs) I didn't get to do much as my mom was sayin' how she and my sister were going back to the store and that I should come along (I stayed in the car) and then after that my mom dropped my sister off home and I went to therapy albeit a bit unprepared.

But before all of that, when I was getting dressed, I put on the latest Nintendo Direct, and wow. Pretty cool stuff. I can't believe there's going to be a sequel to Tomodachi Life. (I can't believe they have ears now/again.) Also I find it funny how it took me quite a while to realize Rhythm Heaven was in the direct too (it was until they said it that I got it, since I didn't think of anything when I saw it at first other than it looked nice and easy.) I don't really know what to expect from it other than timed stuff since I haven't played a Rhythm Heaven game. Or really games from lots of franchises, such as The Legend of Zelda or Animal Crossing.

Anyway, Saturday rolls around. I didn't do any schoolwork then as I found out there was some bugs with the FNF mod I dropped (due to a lack of files but only after.)

Me and my sister head into a blue car, and the first destination we go to is a- GoodWill? *Yeah, we went to a freakin' GoodWill. So there was a ton of clothes (like 90% of the store), some antiques, some dirty dishes and some dirty antiques, lots of toys, and lots of movies, and a very small selection of video games and books. Like there was Guitar Hero: Rock Band for the Wii, some fitness game for the Wii (not Wii Fit), and then two copies of a fitness game for the Xbox 360, another game with the same branding for the same system, and Kinect Adventures. Not sure why anyone would abandon that game though. (Maybe they were fat.)

I read a simple book (Princess Tiara's Big Band Blowout or something like that), then it was getting hot so I took off my sweater and played MarioKart Tour until we left. We then got some snacks, plates, cups, and me a Pineapple Fanta (it was great). We then went to some park I've never been to and ate stuff (oh we also got pizza and ate it there) and then played a game of UNO. I somehow lost the game since everyone kept piling +2s on me. This is the start of a villain origin story right here guys.

Then we sadly had to go home (there was some stuff I wanted to eat but didn't get to D:<) and then I went to do what I was going to do before having to leave.

I compiled the FNF mod with GitHub actions so there would be a Windows release but then didn't know that:

• I forgot to put some files in the GitHub repo.
• For whatever reason some text was aligned wrong.

I was planning on compiling it with the Windows version of Haxe installed with Wine but I couldn't get the C++ compiler files to properly install so I went nuts and installed a bunch of random stuff to no avail and ended up realizing that I should've just ran and debugged it from within.

Lots of files I ended up not including. But in the end of the day, it was worth it, even if I only got five hours of sleep. Speaking of, I'm going to try to improve my sleep schedule on April Fools day so I can wake up nice and early to see the Nintendo Direct on April 2nd.

Okay I don't have any more nonsense to ramble on about, so have good day!

Oh also I just checked DeviantArt and wow. The March 14th drawing did exceptionally well there.

Yesterday while I was at therapy I showed my therapist a drawing I posted to here on Newgrounds and then he basically looked at every other drawing uploaded prior.)

Very minor News Flash but one part of a mod I've been making is done which means it may almost be ready so that's cool.

Also remember how I said my macOS partition got corrupted? Luckily the macOS Installation made a recovery partition which does work so just incase I need to install macOS, I can.

Not sure if I've said this but I've contemplated installing macOS fully on my PC as long as I have nothing to lose and/or am able to transfer everything important over. And Spring Break *might* be soon if I'm not mistaken (maybe one or two weeks, I don't know when Spring starts.) I don't really know why I brung this up but yeah.

In theory, if I were to install macOS, I could do so, then switch back to Linux, move some things to there, and then wipe every other partition *if needed* and then make some partitions with Boot Camp (considering I have a good USB drive and what not.) But what happens to all those Linux memories and apps that won't run on the latest version of macOS my PC supports? Maybe they can be ran on Windows? Earlier today I saw a video of a guy installing Windows 11 on an unsupported Macbook, and it seems he only managed to get it working via Boot Camp. Boot Camp requires the system to be partitioned with Boot Camp itself (so sadly no usage of Disk Utility or external tools.)

He first had to install Windows 7 (as that was what his copy of Boot Camp needed) and then he upgraded to a modified Windows 11.

What do I truly have to lose? Well some source code for some things that don't have GitHub repositories could be considered lost, as well as lots of art I've made and archived. I also have a few QEMU virtual machines (I have one open as I type)

And then I have some funny images and edits and other misc things. I also have software installed via WINE that would need to be backed up (luckily saved in a "Wine Apps" folder) and then some data for apps and games. There's also Haxelibs I'd need to back up, as well as screenshots and Photos.

I also have quite a bunch of folders on the side to put into perspective:

(The things in red relate to a surprise.)

• Home Folder, which is hardly anything.
• My Desktop folder, which is mostly shortcuts, random images, and meaningless text files.
• Documents Folder, which has lots of valuable things.
• Downloads folder, which is half random, half important. Some of the stuff I was planning on removing anyway.
• Music folder only has one file, which isn't important.
• Pictures folder has a ton of pictures.
• Videos has
• Drawings (including the two folders below it) have a bunch of drawings
• Schoolwork stuff
• App screenshots is just a bunch of redirs
• Fonts are very nice and are special to me.
• Source Code has some important and lesser things including the three folders below.
• and etc.

Sorry if this is all just random, I'm very bored right now. I might just upload some drawings instead.

In the sky

Birds will fly

And here I ask,

Why can't I?

I try to think.

I can only blink.

Mind numb

Feeling dumb

Plans feel weary

Like a sore thumb.

i somehow accidentally might've corrupted my copy of macos so i'm typing here from kde neon and i probably won't deal with operating systems until i'm "done" with the projects i'm working on

done as in the sense of:

• fnf mods - until i no longer have mods to work on, or at least not major roles in one
• other projects - until they're done or at least a v1 exists

not sure what else to say here

it's 4:52 am and i'm a bit tired so yeah

tho ig since i'm here, i might make some plans

not relating to OS stuff:

• reinstall vivaldi, preferably not via snap (hopefully pixilart can fully work then)
• get better at drawing and coding
• make music

ngl rn im only up since i was kinda allowed to since my sister was helpin my mom stay awake and guess i might also be awake too but in my room

This is w- wait I can see my description as I type but not the rest of the text. Oh and the "Featured Content" logo and buttons have normal text but the rest doesn't.

I managed to install macOS onto a partition on my PC. Was pretty easy, also managed to copy all my data on the apps from my USB to my PC (not using Time Machine or anything but rather I manually copied all the files.)

It explains what this down here is. (Me selecting a bulk of folders.)

What I did prior to installing macOS was the method in the prior news flash in which I flashed Ventoy to my old USB drive and then used a Linux distro to alter partitions, there was an extra partition too that I had no use or knowledge of so I removed it.

So basically it was like

[1][ ][ 2. ][ ][ 3. ][ ][ 4 ] kinda (in how the partitions were layed out)

the ones without numbers being blank spaces

so I created a macOS and Windows partition

This is an image I uploaded to Discord. It's basically what my computer's storage is split into.

I wonder if Boot Camp can work on my PC, that'd make things easier.

Oh. Welp, guess I'm out of luck with Boot Camp for now since I have Linux partitions and whatnot (since macOS can't manage the format I have it installed on) so I'll just use what I've been using for earlier attempts.

WinDiskWriter

It works pretty good actually. On my first attempt to install Windows 8.1 with the old flash drive, it worked. All I wish is that there were to be like a "Retry" button when a file fails to copy, as that's what I had to deal with more after more attempts at flashing, since after some time, only the purple backdrop would show, and I had to manually run the setup.exe file but that wouldn't work.

Anyway, I'll be using this on my new USB flash drive when I copy some extra files, such as drawings and whatever else I may need. And when I figure out how to fix the fonts on Newgrounds if possible.

(Edit: 9:18 PM

I try to go onto a site that could've fixed my issue but instead I get the same issue there too. I wonder why.)

(Edit: 9:31/33 PM

Turns out I was missing a bunch of crucial system fonts.)

i was openin a file i downloaded from vivaldi and then it opened the gnome file manager

wth

anyway

i have plans i must speak here

oh and also i got a valentine at like 4 am its a pretty femboy~ <3

anyway

i have macos instaleld on my new usb, i tried to get a windows 8.1 installer to work on my old usb drive, but that only worked once and never after

considering fixing my partitions using a linux iso loaded from ventoy

then i go back into my pc's linux, patch my old usb once again to have a macos instalelr

then i use that to either clone my new usb's macos install, or use the instalelr to install macos onto a blank partition

then i reuse the new usb to be what windwos 8.1 has on it

or i use it to install windows 8.1 onto the old flash drive

i haven't decided yet

maybe i could use bootcamp but idk for sure

guess time iwll tell

also not kidding about the file manager part

tom fulp please let me add spoiler tags to this
