I feel this would qualify more as a minor news flash, but I don't really care.

Sorry for the long delay, lots of stuff has occured. School exams have occured, which made me like a couple days behind (though I caught up with most of it last night other than two math assignments, I was gonna do them but then I got sidetracked by my mom, not her fault though)

But onto the good stuff...

In the last news flash, I mentioned that I found a thing that helped me install macOS Sierra onto my machine. While it did work, I had that and then made a new copy of the partition to install Monterey, it worked for a while until Monterey stopped booting and then the macOS Sierra partition randomly got bricked.

(I feel I could've had a better solution with Monterey, but whatever.)

So on the macOS Sierra (which I'll refer to as the backup) Partition, I managed to get a custom Bootloader (OpenCore Legacy Patcher's) to recognize the Linux install I had. It works, even though I have to go through GRUB to boot Linux. I did try (more recently) to install rEFInd (another bootloader) but its pretty slow since there's lots of stuff it has to read, so whatever...

What I plan on doing later today is seeing if I could either reinstall macOS or install Windows 8.1 (or 7/10) onto this machine. Though maybe macOS first and then use BootCamp. Depends on how much disk space I have, but it shouldn't be an issue since...

On January 20th, 2024, some things happened. My sister's birthday was a week prior, but considering the whole house was on a fast, we didn't celebrate with a cake and whatnot, and my mom gave my sister a mango as a present.

On the same day, Three Kings Day was celebrated (very late, two weeks later in fact as its on Jan 6th normally) but I got some cool stuff.

Some of the stuff I got was a USB Flash Drive and a microSD Card (with an adapter).

I used the SD card to install some games onto my Switch (since it has like maybe over four times the storage capacity of the previous SD Card I used which I'm now realizing I have no clue where it's at. Update: it was in an older SD Card Adapter I had plugged into my PC, which blended so well I didn't know it was in there.)

I planned on using the USB drive last Wednesday, but got so caught up with catching up on schoolwork that I wasn't able to.

On an old USB flash drive, I used that to put Ventoy on it (though I planned on putting it into a disc but it didn't get detected for whatever reason.) I then archived some files from my Chromebook, so now you can see I have a bunch of drawings!

(The stuff in red is private development stuff, which is stuff you'll likely see in the future, and the stuff in blue is personal/private stuff. Also the icons are just part of a theme.)

Onto other stuff, I've been modding some stuff, mainly Friday Night Funkin' as there's a few mods I'm making I want to finish beforehand, and then a mod I did one image for relating to SRB2Kart which I'm now realizing I can't find the 1x1... Luckily I had some WIP screenshots. Shame I lack the 1x1 file though. I guess I never saved it.

I also archived a bunch of drawings that would've been lost since I once accidentally wiped my PC. (Lots of early drawings I've uploaded here have lost project files.)

Here's my favorite.

It was drawn for a contest in which people had to draw their OCs in a character's outfit. I felt like spicing up the colors of the outfit for this one tho.

I don't know what else to write so uh... yeah.

This would've came out fifteen minutes earlier but I decided to join my family do one of those face mask things but it was an Indian clay mask thing, and now my face is stuck as there's clay all over my face, and a bit in my hair, eyebrows, mustache, and beard. (Edit: some also got on my eyelashes and a big bit of it fell onto my pants I forgot to mention.)

It feels like my face is closing in on itself.

Before and After.
