Happy new year everyone! It's time for me to hop back on the site again and start developing. A goal of mine is to finally lock in and finish atleast 50% of the site, im hoping i go thru on this.. I hope to meet cool new people and see good things from everyone this year!!

still insane how some dude just put a crazy ass virus into his sonic fan game cause he didn't want people stealing his sprites.. technically barley edited

it's activated by typing in "cheats" or "hack" into a browser while having the game open.

it changes your game into a creepy ass fucked up version of whatever level you're playing

basically the virus steals your ip and personal info, sends it to a personal list on some random ass dude's PC (the creator) or whatever. If you then try to uninstall the game, the DRM fucks up your browsers and infects your files like rapid fire. Basically your pc files are destroyed by this virus forever, unless you can revert your pc back before you got the virus. It's pretty damn stupid.

honestly makes me sad cuz' the game looks hella fun and i would've probably played and enjoyed it.

So filegarden has been down for a good minute, I'm adding some temporary changes until that situation is resolved! In the meantime I'm thinking of changing this page's layout into a more full blog looking layout! Hopefully it will be done soon!

Thinking about making a seperate Nekoweb website of EHP. The layout will be completley different cus this site is a bit old and has some coding issues.

Did a major rehaul on a lotta pages on the site! Really changed how the blog page looks right now, what do you think??

Since I'm hopping back on the site to develop again I'm thinking about finishing the Wario Land 4 shrine, it may take a while but i'll try to add stuff in the background. In the meantime I need to finally finish the art gallery and add some reviews to reviewstation.

Adding my artfight link to about me reminds me that artfight is coming up in 2 months. I haven't really practiced like I wanted to. I've been art blocked for a while now.

MAN! that shit really snuck up on my ass, I was expecting to be doing some crazy ass drawings by now.

Mann an opening can tell you a lot about a show if you haven't even watched the show yet. Some anime openings can also troll you aswell, like Madoka. I'm not gonna elaborate if you haven't watched it yet.

soul eater has a perfect opening for what you're in for.

cool visuals will always get me hyped for an anime and openings with cool visuals is always a good recipe

now then.. school days this aint gonna tell you shit about the horrors you're about to see, maybe if they put a garbage can on the screen you'd know what you're in for.

actually the only good thing about this anime.

songs always make an anime opening memorable as well, so that's a a key factor. there are openings that have memorable songs but not in a good way.. like kill me baby man that song so ass.. shit is kinda annoying catchy tho

i can't end off this section without talking about the goat. samurai champloo has a blend of great music and very cool visuals. actually a top 3 anime opening for me it's just so damn good!! this is exactly what i'm talking about when i mean a great opening!

Was anyone else like me and loved playing virtual world + MMO games as a kid? It puts a smile of my face remember all the memories I had on those games.

I'm gonna name a few off the top of my head that I was on.

club penguin, wee world, roblox, moshi monsters, habbo hotel (for like 10 mins), movie star planet, animal jam, poptripica (goat, carried me thru boring school days in elementary), wizard101, psobb, pso2, maplestory..

i was always the kid that would search "HOW TO GET 10000000 INFINITE FREE CURRENCY" in everygame i played LOL

now days i just play roblox a lil, it's very boring now ngl compared to 2012 - 2015ish, i do play second life tho to explore and chat with people.. it's bleak how many of these games disappeared and how kids nowdays will never expirence them.

(sl screenshots)

grahh I love collecting manga but it's really a struggle. I enjoy a lotta older and out of print series so I'm really struggling to find volumes at a reasonable price.

trying to collect air gear after like vol 5. is like tryin to find the chaos emeralds scattered across the world or somethin. Shit is getting too expensive.

and it sucks cuz I really find reading manga physically is a more memorable exprience so I tend to collect physical instead of buying digital. Just something about holding the book and flipping the pages is special.

hopefully i can collect all of air gear someday, I only have 1,2,3,4 and 11 right now.. getting nearly 30 volumes is gonna be an investment..

been having a lotta fun on artfight this year but I'm taking a break for now. I'm feeling a lil burnt out after drawing like everyday, in the meantime i'll be updating the site a bit.

Artfight is coming to an end soon, I will be back in full development of the site soon! exciting news. haven't had much time to do anything but small little tweaks..

FINALLY FREE FROM THE SHACKLES OF ARTFIGHT.. nah I'm playing it's not that bad. I had a great run on artfight but my motivation just dropped too hard. I couldn't even finish an easy drawing for like 5 days. Hopefully next year will be better for me. For now I'm getting straight back into updating the site this month. I'm planning on gathering pics for the seattle blog and getting the wario land 4 shrine done first. That's the main focus on the site for now In the meantime.. I added a few tweaks in today's update.

watched all of squid game 3, ending had me tweaked out. felt like a lot of things that was built up didn't have a satsifying end. yeah i saw gi-hun dying, it was a fitting end for his character to be honest. but.. there's issues with the other characters. THEY SPEND 3 SEASONS BUILDING UP TO FINDING THE ISLAND ONLY FOR EVERYONE TO EVACTUATE SAFELY AND BLOW UP THE ISLAND AND EVIDENCE OF THE GAMES. FRONTMAN WAS CONFRONTED FOR LIKE 2 SECONDS.. AND HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING TOO!!!! THIS IS ON SOME SHENMUE LEVEL OF BULL

there was so many ways squid game could've ended and much more happier endings that could've came out of this. you spend the whole time watching rooting for the games to end or some impact that deters the games forever. but nah, look, sure the korean games may be over but hey look. the games will continue all around the world and nothing will change! all efforts were worthless hahaha!! hurray!! squid game in america and everywhere else!

i do feel the whole bit with the father and the amusement park thing was a good bit tho, i did like that in the ending. i feel like there's really big issues with hwang jun-ho's storyline, it leads to nothing worth while, i mean maybe yea he found the baby at the end and all but hm.

Nah cus netflix wants to milk squid game cuz that's like one of the only things that brings people to the platform, that's why they wanna do the america spinoff or whatever that shit is..

THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD PULL SOME SHIT LIKE SQUID GAME IN AMERICA HAD ME RAGING BRO, JUST LET IT END. ALMOST SLAMMED MY DESK AND MIC - but then i remembered everything around me is too expensive for that shit so i was like i gotta chill.

i'm very disappointed, i really enjoyed squid game s1 - s2 and was hoping my time spent would be worth it. i don't know how to feel right now.

sorry if this blog entry seems like rambling, shit has me mad hours later im very tired right now

i really miss when consoles had a bit more soul to them, one of my favorite little things was animated icons or models for your save files on your memory card.

I always wanted to collect a buncha games so I can have a memory card full of cool icons, I also wanted my ps2 to have a buncha towers on the startup thingy. Gamecube had animated icons instead of models but they're still pretty charming.

here's some of my game saves

i personally think ps2 memory icons are the coolest. if you wanted to delete or copy your data on some games, the model would move / change animations. a little detail that's pretty charming

i've found a really cool website recently that has most of the ps2 save models for your viewing! check it out here.

bought the akira boxset and it arrived today. it's my first manga boxset i've bought, i already knew i was gonna buy this one as a first and I'll say I'm impressed. It's so sick, the covers are looking hella cool.

very hyped to read this one soon, with the quality of these books i'll be reading like a king lolol. maybe i'll actually expand on the media log on the about me page and make it it's own seperate page for stuff I'm reading or playing..

only thing thats bothering me a bit is the covers look a bit dirty on the spine even tho i ordered a new boxset, it's whatever tho, as long as i can read the book lolol

finally started playing knuckles chaotix after stalling for a year.. and i love this shit, the aesthetics, music and i'll admit that i actually enjoy the gameplay unlike many others.

it's very vibrant and colorful and it's fire as fuck

the art for this game has so much sauce, that weird 3d but 2d look.. I needa take that into my art style and absorb it like a megaman powerup or somethin'

the other day i got my first manga boxset, now today i bought my first music CD, MF DOOM - mm.. food 20th anniversary ver! I gotta get a neat lil cd player, i've always been interested in older technology. I'll be on the search but I hadda get something to play on one first.

i'll def be buying samurai champloo departure next but god damn.. THAT SHIT IS EXPENSIVE AS FFUCK.. i keep getting into expensive hobbies

speaking of firsts i actually bought a UMD for my psp too.. ridge racer, heh not a bad choice!

adding roblox screenshots to the screenshots page reminded me of something. I'm convinced I was the only one that expireinced this really weird situation.

back in prob ~2012 I used to play Roblox on my dad's computer but it looked really shitty.

it would have like weird gray spikes all around the screen when you would move the camera, i can't really find any videos replicating the issue. instead i kinda drew what i was seeing down below.

nowdays I'm convinced it was a really weird graphical error and the PC wasn't strong enough to run roblox properly but who knows..

so i can't say i'm a big streamer fan who sits inside all day to watch some guy react all day, but i do ocasionally hop into streams from time to time.

sometimes i get a bit nostalgic and watch some old etika streams and clips and I just think about how shitty the chat was.

his chat was like a cesspool of really grimy people

like the one time he snapped cause someone said "he doesn't care about us, only for the money / donations", that moment is engraved into my head. etika was a genuine guy who just liked to entertain us.

I think that ishowspeed's chat is etika's chat but x300 times worse, honestly i think some of etika's viewers might've migrated over to speed's streams. my god, it was at a point to when i used to join in I had to close the chat and ignore it on the screen at top.

although speed is a crazy guy he deserves respect man, i've seen some clips where even IRL his fans are doing crazy shit and destroying stuff. good thing he doesn't tolerate that shit tho (sorry getting a lil side tracked)

hey, maybe it's a youtube stream thing. prob cuz of the children if i were to guess.

but yo

RIP Etika tho, joycon boys 4 life

does anyone else like to customize their desktop space a bit? i like to put to put figures near my pc.

little trading figures are perfect for desktop space. although i may need to clear out my game controllers if i want to put more in my space. i got 4 controllers on the other side of my monitor.

i was thinking of maybe starting a FC2 blog soon, i like the interactive nature of a blog. if i make one I will still be using this page but longer blogs may be hosted over on that page.

Yo! can't believe 2025 is already over.. reflecting on my goals I didn't get much done on the website or art. I did get a license this year so that's really hype. This will likely be the last update of 2025!! Here's to an awesome 2026 and to me actually getting better at art and stuff LOL.
