Some time ago, I finally went ahead and updated all the footers on my sites to reflect a name change.

I also added a link to a new forum on the index. It's sort of just thrown in now, but I'll better incorporate it on the next layout.

I don't expect any real activity out of it, but I do miss the old forum days. I have a shop with rpg style pixels I purchased off of itch.io a long time ago. It'll just be fun to mess around with. If anyone wants to join, feel free.

As an outlet for my latest obsession playing Bloodborne, I organized a video game layout marathon amongst a few friends.

The new layout for shinshoku.net is another one page layout, much like my old, old Super Junior layout from back in 2010, but coded with a much better usage of javascript. It's also fully responsive, though looks best in desktop.

My domain's 17th year anniversary is coming up, so I might do a special layout to celebrate it in April, which means this Bloodborne layout won't stay up too long.

The new guestbook is online as the same old url.

The last time I had a working guestbook was probably sometime in 2007... so yeah, about 10 years ago? Wow time flies. I mostly removed it because of the amount of spam I used to get. Since that is no longer an issue, I finally got around to getting a new one up. The layout uses a pattern I made using images from Mobile Suit Gundam DVD box art

Just a quick update to say I added some cute quotes for my close friends in the affiliate blurbs on the exit page for shinshoku.net. Other updates are so minor they really don't need to be commented on.

Wow I can't believe it's been almost FIVE YEARS since my last layout update (I uploaded the Michael Fassbender layout in December 2011). Looking back, I used to switch layouts much more frequently, but I think with work and everything else, I just can't do that anymore haha. Anyway, I guess this is me officially exiting my semi-hiatus from sites. I've been getting back into actively working on sites again, and it's kind of refreshing to be making stuff again.

This new layout was a result of a combination of me fixated on doing this new layout on a special day, and also finally using art from one of my favorite works. I picked Oct 29th because it's Athrun Zala's (of Gundam SEED) birthday, and it became sort of natural to also use Athrun as the theme. My favorite art from Gundam SEED is of the side story manga by Kuori Chimaki, which also focuses on Athrun.

At first I was just going to do a standard layout, but there were so many different panels from the manga I liked, so I ended up making a unique layout for each page, as an excuse to use all the nice images. I don't really expect to change it for a while, though it definitely will not stay up for anywhere near as long as almost five years.
