Neo Machina Goes OfflineIt’s hard to believe I built a city in Second Life, and spent months, and months, and months putting together one of my biggest projects, ever. And then it stood for a year and eight months. It was my virtual home, my little piece of metaverse space with which I...

Tumblr to Move to WordpressEveryone’s heard of Tumblr. Most know it for its 2010s fandoms, and sometimes extreme politics. Others know Tumblr for “that place that banned porn, which caused a huge influx of those same fandom loving people to suddenly invade Twitter.” And then Twitter got bought out by a megalomaniac, and then...

Overwatch Doomed Us AllThis is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but: I really don’t like “hero shooters”, especially as live-service games. From Overwatch, to whatever that failed hero-shooter was at Amazon (I forget the name), to Concord, and Deadlock. There’s just, to me, absolutely nothing fun about having to fight with...

Now available at [REVOSA], Nano Nexus (McFly Edition) Shorts!It’s been a long year. Maintaining my sim in Second Life, deciding to take it down a few times when I feared I couldn’t support the costs anymore, and bringing it back each time.

mkultra.monster, Your Tri-Monthly UpdateIt’s time for the tri-monthly update on the Mastodon instance I run, mkultra.monster (no, it’s not hosted on this website or its server, but it is using the same domain)!

[REVOSA] Saved from the Brink of DeathIt was a little over a week ago now that I got hit with some pretty hefty charges for automotive repair offline, you know, in the real world. I’ve been trying to raise a little bit of money in order to soften the impact of this a bit, and you...

Lost in the ComplexI’ve been having this issue since I started going hard on developing this website into something that’s strange, or interesting, or maybe even fun to visit. I’ve embedded a small little box to the right where you can leave messages, I made a todo list that details what I plan...

Yesterday's Websites, TodayYou’ve heard of the old-web revival lurking in the underground of the furthest reaches of internet-space, now get ready for: Actual Geocities pages, archived in an easy to navigate interface! I’ve been lurking the Melonland forums, and searching around websites people have built, and one of the main complaints, or...

Worlds Chat to Worlds OnlineThe year is 1995. We’re well past the eighties at this point, and a lot of people (not all) have a computer in their homes. Some even have access to the internet. Installing Windows 95 consists of waiting two hours through prompts and low resolution demonstration videos (which, at this...

Rebuilding in VR ChatIt’s been days since I took my Second Life store, essentially, down. Sure, it still technically exists on the Second Life marketplace site, and sales do come in through that platform, it’s just not the same as actually having a presence in Second Life.
