Happy New Year!!!!
And so concludes 2025, as well as being a non-WordPress user and especially proud paid user of Neocity since Dec 20, 2023, and has had his own domain for about a year now.
It's because I wanted something interesting that wasn't really restricting my content and design. Plus, I don't have to really mess with WordPress's clunky UI. The Plus is getting away from the AI thing. I won't mess with Hugo's site creation. You know it's the CLI interface for making a website. I am really super comfortable with using Zonelets and Brackets.
I might try installing Brackets, or their updated Phoenix code, on my Q6600 machine if I can. As I said, the CLI interface is just a pain that I don't want to get into. Markdown, on the other hand, is kinda complicated, so I won't mess with that as well. Yes, it makes sites fast and easy, but it is very complicated to work with, though everyone uses it.
My workflow will never change lol...
The way I look at views is just mehh. When I was using WordPress, the views were ok, but on the other hand, the most views I get are just me using my website lol, since this website is just for me only lol...
For follower count, I want it higher, although I do want my site to be the most active site on Neocity than any other Neocity out for the FFXIV category. I know I am one of the 1 out of 2 people who are active on the FFXIV tags. Yeah, you might think I am bragging, but I am really bragging about it lol.
Things that I want to talk about in 2026
Rumble in the Bronx: Why language matters
Star Wars Episode 3 is my favorite movie of 2005
Crash Bandicoot series PS1 review
Max Payne 3 review
Uncharted 4 Review
A lot of manga reviews that I just read 3 days ago lol
The one piece of content that I wrote is kept until the end of the year, and that is Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail Perspective. 7.0 is one of the most polarizing patches ever lol.
I realized I wrote about 52 posts lol... less than 2024 at 58 posts. I am really expecting to write more than the last 2 years.
Lastly, though, I am still fascinated that there's a large user base across all three platforms: Bear Blog, NekoWeb, and Neocity. The only problem is discoverability. I think Neocity does the job, but kinda unless you put yourself on tags that aren't popping up well lol? But for me, I will try to find every single random website that caught my eye.
I am a Net Warrior user!!!
Things I want for 2026, hopefully?
I want a 400-watt solar panel or a 400-watt solar blanket. And maybe upgrade to a 2000wh or 3000-watt power station, maybe sometime around May 2026?
Going to overcome my fears and drive a U-Haul, and also practice driving on the highway. I freaking hate driving, but as a grown, close to 30-year-old man, I just had to drive. But it would be cool, or I guess it would be cool if I had a woman do it for me, but then again that would kinda go against the human bias since maybe she needs me to drive as well if she needs to go to the hospital lol...
Anyway, I need to drive my parents and my brother to church, lol. The drive is about 30 minutes, but going back home is about 1 1/2 hours. Also, driving to the farmer's market is 1 hour and 30 minutes, but going back does take about 2 1/2 hours or even 3, since we take a break at the rest stop.
2026 is going to be the year where, if I can be a Man of the house, lol..
I would fricking want a girlfriend tbh lol.. I haven't really talked to anyone since 2016. What I do want from a woman is if she can love God, be a good person, and help me sell flowers.
Thank you to whoever reads this beyond the Net-verse mikly way and may the gods above give you fatih and the strength to overcome this year of 2026 God bless!!!
