Generic Yearly Life Update

It's not, like, terribly unusual for me to disappear for months \ years at a time on here, but I thought I'd give at least a little update as to what I've been doing and what I have NOT been doing because I don't really want to leave anyone hanging, in the event that anyone has been keeping up with my posts.

As for all the things I've been talking about on here? Nothing. I've been pretty silent on it because it's kind of sad to me that something I built my life around has no real importance to me anymore, but working on SDSY makes me feel so bitter, just thinking about the circumstances I originally made it in. Working on my reclist feels pointless. Making voicebanks is difficult because I live in a noisy apartment. Preset Tool is just so aimless I wouldn't even know what direction to go with it. I've been doing some of this stuff for almost 10 years now, and it feels so stale. I'm not quitting. I'm just acknowledging I'm not really super into it anymore because I think it'd be good for me to be open about it. I'll come back to it whenever it's fun again, but for now I'll be on to bigger and better things (or smaller and worser, I'm free now and I can do whatever I want).

I have worked on some other (related) software. About half a year back, I started working on LAud (a Lua audio library). It's not terribly interesting or functional, but it was nice to kinda noodle around with raw audio data for once. Ironically, I made it because I was also working on a native Lua TTS library to use with Love2D, which is something I'm still totally interested in working on more so than anything else, I'm just currently mad at it. This is how that's going (warning for cursing, it's the navy seals copypasta):

Other than that I'm just kind of vibing and doing whatever I want. I'm having a good time. Working on art mostly. A lot of crochet. Cleaning my apartment. I have some plants. Working a lot (but I like the kind of work I do now so it's okay). Things are going really good for me, sad-ish post aside. Maybe I'll post about other things in my life now.
