Aww man, good to write something about life for a change.
Nowadays I am a lot nicer to hang out with, I make jokes all the time and try to see fun in the world.
School TL;DR it's almost ogre
I am now in my fourth and final year of college. Getting a diploma is no longer a distant future, it is right here and right now, and frankly enough, I actually think I am gonna make it.
Wow, no pessimism?
Haha, what's a life update without some good old fashioned depression?
Wait what, there is none? Wow that's a first.
Ahem.
In my four years I have learned many things IT related, such as the ins and outs of the manufacturing process of CPUs, teambuilding, oh and taking charge.
I will spare you the boring details of my projects on researching technologies for an intranet for an occassions dealer in the Netherlands.
Safe to say, it was horrendously stressful, it is all ogre now though.
Now I am doing an apprenticeship and it is going well so far. Adjusting to all these fucking unwritten rules is still eroding what is left of my pathetic pile of self-esteem though.
Love TL;DR everything's good
Having celebrated our 3 year anniversary, there is nothing to see here. No news is good news.
Will be able to hug him for the first time somewhere around 2021 when he is finally done with his college.
State of mind TL;DR getting the help I need
I now have professional help, yay! No sarcasm this time.
I should mention that I chose to go there and get help before my mental problems get out of hand, not after. I am there to prevent going to shit. Get it? Good.
I may not be learning anything new there, but it is helping me accept myself and give explanations why things happen the way they do, which is great and probably all I need.
Not on meds, never will.
Beyond school
Get a fucking job, any job, to support Jake.
Change of career
In my time feeling like complete shit I have learned one thing: I love world building and writing. Like really, really love it. I am going to use my IT background, and the experience from my first collaborative novel as a stepping stone in the broad world of literature.
My goal is to become the second science fiction author in the Netherlands. (Yes, there has legitimately only been a single adult sci-fi book published in the entire history of the nation for fucks sake.)
To go about this, I will first strife to become popular through English writing online to build up a strong portfolio and establish myself as a bilingual individual, also opening up the possibility of persueing professional translator as a career.
I will most likely continue Thunder the book in the distant future, or completely rewrite it from scratch.
I already censored some images from Google, but I might outright delete them, since I do not want to compromise my reputation with art that can (and will) be taken the wrong way.
Gosh, just typing all this makes me excited!
Am I going to succeed?
Of course not!
But at least I will be able to pass with a clear conscience, having given life a second chance.
Future for DA
I am sorry for having been such a salty fuck. I ragequit from making art hard, haha. I hope you can laugh at it too. I am sorry to my friends on DA for that, I really am.
I have buried the hatchet with myself, accepted it and moved on. Getting dragged away in self-loathing tends to make you appreciate the other things in life less.
Gosh, reading the old comments on my older deviations really yanks my tear ducts sometimes. I really had something going there. What went wrong?
I now know why. Inactivity, not having a proper schedule and more importantly, the lack of fucks given by me.
No wonder the algorithm borked me when I decided to upload my ''Magnum Opus''.
As we are approaching the end of You Are What You Play, you can expect more status updates regarding the fate of the novel. Will it remain buried on my hard drive? Come back next year for another episode of ''Wow she fucking misses her deadlines again''.
And... as the cherry on top: I might actually go back to drawing! Yay! But it will be a significant drop in quality compared to my ''Magnum Opus'' since I haven't practiced in over 2 years. No, shitposts do not count.
Though, it can't possibly be so shit as my first art in 2012. *Shudders*
Once again, thank you for not unfollowing me and sticking with me through the end, for so far that was possible.
Here is an epic Shaggy Ultra Instinct shitpost as a thank-you for reading! (The latest and freshest meme as of this writing.)

Goodmorning hum0ns. I am happy to announce the final roadmap for You Are What You Play.
Jake and I have been working and thinking hard for the past few months on how to continue the story, hence we put our work on hiatus.
While we were planning to implement the metamorphs in a spectacular battle for humanity, we agreed that this was like pulling a deus ex machina, no not the games. Especially for a story of this scope, it can be a huge let down.
Now that we have dropped this idea, it opens up the possibility of a sequel. Jake and I have already started the roadmap for the sequel. In actuality, we will continue writing YAWYP as a single story and split it into two when we are done.
The new story will feature new main characters, who should bring an in-depth analysis of the life of the ordinary citizen in the last bastion of Western civilization. More conspiracies and an outbreak of hybrid eSpers.
It is going to be an exciting trip! The sequel will allow us to implement more theories which we have tested on short stories and we have written on our wiki page.
For obvious spoiler reasons I can't go into exact detail of the roadmap, but rest assured: it is packed with content!
DISCLAIMER: Due to the collaborative nature of YAWYP, the story might never be publicly published. If it does get published however, either of us can withdraw consent, and the story will be pulled immediately. Permission to read it will be granted on a per-person basis. You will be given limited access: sharing, redistributing and even downloading the file for personal backups is strictly forbidden. It's on our hard drives and it is our job to keep it safe, not yours. We will gladly grant you access again if a technical issue screwed you over. Do not let this discourage you though: even if you are not given permission, nothing is stopping me from spoiling the plot for you instead. 
Obviously, I do expect you to keep it confidential. You can always ask me anything about YAYWP. I also publish some short stories from time to time, most of time written by my own hand but sometimes with permission of Jake. If you have been a watcher for a while, all you need to do is drop down a comment below for review.

RAMulet tutorial
2 min read
What is a RAMulet?
A bad pun on RAM and an amulet because you attach RAM to a necklace make a RAMulet.Why should I wear this? It's weird.
Because it's awesome.It is also good for the environment because of recycling.
Why is it awesome?
Because I say so.You need 3 things:
1: Your memory module of choice2: an empty/clear necklace. Preferable a short one because you will want your RAMulet above your breasts, otherwise it just looks plain silly.
3: Tools to drill and sandpaper to smoothen things.
Refer to this picture:
If you are lucky your memory module and your necklace can be attached right away! No tools needed.
Out of luck? Try getting other memory types, another necklace or grab the tools and make the holes bigger.
If you are really lazy you can also use a rope instead of an actual silver necklace but you will significantly lose $w€g.
Pro tip: Search for second hand vendors and look for DDR 2 or DDR 1 RAM and ask for any broken/corrupted RAM. Many vendors would give such RAM for free, although they may incur a small fee of 5€ or less for DDR2 memory.
