Soooo, long time no see. To be fair I've been posting things on my socials, but I feel like I should post a bit of an update here.
I've gotten a job in IT Support inside a company, which I'm pretty happy about. I'm also picking up drawing and other hobbies again after the hellish last schoolyear.
I'll try to update this page a bit more, focusing on the shrines first. Then, I'd also like to expand some of the less content-dense sections.
After a little more than a week playing, I've managed to beat the final boss of the DLC and explore most of the map. My general opinion: Great DLC, incredible experience
I heard someone say that all criticisms in the first two weeks after the launch of a From Software game are meaningless since hating Miyazaki and his game is part of the process. And thats just how all the crying feels for me. Was it hard? Yes. Was it abnormally hard from what I would expect from a Souls game? No.
My character of choice was a Halligtree knight. Mainly Strength and some Faith and Intelligence. To be fair, the build was decent at best. And I still was able to get through the whole DLC without changing it until the final boss for the only reason that medium roll felt too slow for me.
I had such a great time, when I got stuck I just went exploring and came back a couple hours later to try again, and sure, I fought some bosses overleveled, but thats alright. After doing an all-bosses run I can say without a doubt that the game doesn't expect you to fight everything
For the whole time I've been playing I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
If any of you liked the experience of early Elden Ring or doing challenge runs, the DLC may be just what I want.
At the end of the world is a HOLE
In the hole is a CITY
The city is sliding into HELL

I found this game in youtube and it look SO COOL. I decided to buy it and I'm looking for people to play with right now, but in the mean time I've already chosen a faction and made a necromancer
If anyone wants to get the game, this is the itch.io page
I recently felt inspired by the sort of architecture that appears in Porco Rosso. Hotel Adrianno is a great example of what I'm thinking about. I made this WIP building, but I'll probably change the final location, the water doesn't feel right.
I've been playing Minecraft for some time already. Specifically the Java version with some life quality mods (Worldedit, Distant Horizons, Dynamic Lights...).
For a long time I saw youtubers build massive things and everytime I tried it felt so overwelming, but with my (very small) Worldedit knowledge I can already work on some big things without spending 30 hours in making a stone block.
If any of you ever felt like that I highly recommend trying Worldedit, it has changed the way I face building and its so much fun now
My first project using Worldedit has been the Denille Academia of High Studies.
For Christmas my family got me some presents, but they said one of them had gotten delayed, no worries, I understand how things work and we wait till we get the notification that tells us its in the store ready to get picked up.
My surprise when I saw the CUTEST PLUSHIE EVER!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hello everyone, long time no see. I hope my absecence hasn't been too sudden. School on a bit of a rush and life in general had its things. Althougth the last incident was quite the annoyance.
A week or so ago I got the flu. Nothing deadly, dont worry, but I had fever, cough, muccus, dizziness and lack of apetite for some time.
The biggest the fever got to was 39.2ºC, which is the highest I've had for a long time. Safe to say I wasnt in the best shape. I had to miss classes and stuff like that, but thankfully there wasn't a lot to do because of how late we are in the year.
Quick sum up of what i figured out about the fucking bot wave of posting links with nude ladies with 100 tags.
1. The tags seem to be chosen at random. Ive seen some use tags about nsfw subjects, but its not consistent. They also seem to have a tendency to use trending tags, but the data might be biased on that by virtue of trending tags being pushed.
2. All the notes seem to be mainly likes from other bots. They all have the same name, bio and a profile photo of a girl.
3. The links they are linking to are different for each post, but it seems theres a pattern. All the links ive seen are random letters, followed by a dot, followed by more random letters, and as far as i can remember, ending in .online.
4. If i find any way of silencing their content, ill add it. For now the best idea i have is using the .online part, but it would affect unrelated posts.
TL:DR, the bots are very annoying, spamming tags, spamming sfw tags with nsfw content, using very similar profiles and using random links. It appears theres no way to silence them without doing the same to people accidentaly.
I tried silencing .online, i realized pretty quick bots also use .space websites, but thats an easy fix.
This method has its pros and cons. I managed to avoid looking at the fuck bots completely. But tumblr do be tumblring, so it doesnt really hide the posts, it just puts an warning on top and doesnt show it to you if you dont press the View button, which is shit.
Thankfully, bots are esay to distinguish by profile picture and name alone, so you could avoid missing people posting about real websites using .online and .space if you pay attention to the poster.
Ill keep adding if anything new comes up, but silencing .online and .space seem to kinda work. Be sure to flag the bots as spam if you can and block them, most of the bots ive seen have 2 or 3 posts, so you could avoid the rest that way.
Silencing .online and .space went quite well. All the bots that appeared on my dash, tags and for you tabs were hidden.
Sadly, Ive submitted myself to the torture to not only go through most of the bots blogs. All of their post were filtered. But then I checked the likes of some.
This, was a good source of additional info. Most of their likes were hidden, so that was nice to not see :3
The visible posts were interesting. There seemed to be two other extensions.
1 .cloud - easy to filter, worked the same way the other two. Ive seen it just once, but its worth noticing.
2 .com - im not gonna lie, i got scared when i saw this one. Thankfully, all the .com links ive seen are from the same site, utu103 i believe.
Ill keep yall informed on future updates through #nora vs the bots, if any of you find out anything important about the bots, all helped is welcome, as small as it is.
Okay, these seem to be all the things i have found bots using. It still doesn't avoid finding the bots, but it hides the content which is good enough. I think this is probably end the long text updates, it doesnt look like there isnt a lot more about this bots.
Oh, and also, 🔞 Click Here isnt blocking the usual link-only bots, I've found some bots that post a picture with some text saying some sexy phrases and a link. The link always is embed in that text, so thats why I'm adding it.
.cn is a weird situation. It seems to be used by Chinese websites, all the links seem to be from .com.cn, so I may be changing it to that to avoid false positives.
List of silenced words. It contains:
Yesterday I went to a queer halloween party. Really cool event, the people where amazing and the food was great. After the party ended, me and some friends went to another part of the city.
Unfortunately, we encountered a group of cishet dudes, quite drunk, that catcalled some of us.
I'd heard how some transfem people feel gender euphoria the first times they get catcalled, thankfully, the only thing I felt was disgust.
It's a horrible experience and I don't wish it upon anyone. If you do it even in good faith, please stop, it's really violent.
Oh, and I lost my voice in the party, so I can barely speak now 🙃
Well, I've recently been working on unpacking trauma.
First of all, bad idea to do it in the middle of the school year, cant recommend.
Having said that, I've realised I learnt a lot of ways of coping with having to deal with autorithy figures while being autistic and not being able to understand what they mean to say.
I avoid talking to them, asking for help or asking for clarifications. This has made me put a lot more effort than required when I fell behind in class. A frined of mine has agreed to help me out with that, but the damn trauma is so stuck in my head I dont even think about asking the proffesor for help.
Theres a lot more things that I need to unpack. And I think Ive reached the critical point where I started wondering if I have PTSD. The symptons kind of make sense and growing up as an undiagnosed Neurodivergent person labeled as high capacities (meaning that i didnt received as much help because I was supposed to be able to exceed on my own) isnt exactly not traumatising.
Worst thing is a lot of the things that caused me trauma and trigger it, are completely normal for neurotypical people and I have a lot of trouble explaining WHY it triggers me, and thats when I dont look fucking deranged.
Back to coding again. I've been updating the site making small things almost everyday for some time now. With the school year starting, might as well return to coding in my free time.
This is just a quick update to tell yall how everything's going. I now have a Web Design class, so I may upload things here as a portfolio of sorts (although GitHub is also there). I'm also getting into responsive design, as tedious as it is.
I'm quite happy with how the site looks now. So I think I'll start working on the Queer section as soon as possible. I'm open to outsides ideas right now, so I hope to hear your comments.
After a challenging battle against the foul beast called HTML I managed to achieve a decent viewing experience on mobile platforms.
Rejoice!!! This has been a great win for our people. We wouldn't have done it without the help of our marvelous ally, W3Schools and its section on responsive design.
Our next objective shall be to rework the Home page and the Art section.
NEW 6.5 HOUR VIDEO JUST DROPPED!!! Okay, explanation time, QuintonReviews' new video is the continuation of the LONG series of videoanalysis of Nickelodeon series from around the 2010's. After a year of waiting we have in our hands the next installment in the series, which isnt the last, whats more, the next entry is planned to come out in October. Oh, and if this man gets to 1 million subscribers in the next year, he promised to make a Zoe 101 retrospective too.
Introduction done (damn this looks like one of his videos). I just finished the video. It's great, the intermission was one of the best yet and all the content was very well done. His decission to give up on trying to avoid the copyright claims makes it very clear how messed up the copyright system of youtube is, because half of the jokes would likely be cut or heavily modified to avoid problems with it
Hi, I've kinda left this without content for some time. I haven't being doing much, so I don't really have anything to talk about. I really want to add some things to this website, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them since I kinda run out of ideas of what to do.
The drums of liberation thunder in the distance. I've been a fan of One Piece for a long time, and since Gear 5 appeared in the manga, I've been waiting for the anime to arrive at that part of the story. I can't wait to see how the anime team handles this new power up for Luffy. I'll probably post another blog entry some days after the episode comes out to avoid spoiling people who really want to see it.
Well, this is going to be my first year participating in Art Fight. I want to make some reference sheets, but I'm not sure they'll be all ready for tomorrow 😪 Any way, if any of you want to follow me, I'm Nora3a. And yes, I choose vampire, of course I did.
With the return of free time, I have also managed to finish the designs of some new OCs. If you have any questions about this you can do so on my Tumblr. I'll upload some info about them in the OC Wiki section.
So... I finally have free time again. After two weeks of programming non-stop I have returned to my little cave. This has lead to me getting into playing the original DOOM, and Sonic The Hedgehog. This decission will have consequences.
Long time no see. School has been taking a lot of my time since the year is ending and I have to make a lot of porjects. The difficulty of many are either the size or the project or the complexity of the operations. But then there's the java programming project. It requires you to learn JCDB and JPA, aplly it to a previous jFrame project which itself was a fix of a previous Object project. All of this after a single two-hour lesson on the database connection systems and with a single week of time until the due date. This is specially great when my JPA Queries DONT WORK no matter what I do.
Eurovision already did their second semifinal. I believe its the moment to talk about the queerest festival in Europe. Australia and Finland are my favourites, but I'm really liking everyone's performances. I'm not rooting for Spain because I know we probably won't do well, Chanel was an exception. If anyone wants to give it a try, Eurovision is a great way to bring something new to your usual playlists.
Well, maybe not for everyone, but here in Southern Spain we're already feeling the heat. It's kind of frustrating, because just recently I became able to dress cute without worrying of freezing. And now I can't even layer because that is too much. I guess I'll limit my fashionable life to night hours only.
I love that i have reached a point with my classmates in my web development course in which im able to joke around with my trans identity. Theyre still cis, but i feel like theyre more or less aware of trans existances, mostly because of me. Its great finally getting to fully express that part of me in those enviroments.
I cannot believe what I just watched. I'm both crying, yelling, screaming and gigling. The coctel of emotions is too much for a 50 min episode. This is too much. Expect fanart.
Everything is functional. At least for now. I still want to add a bunch of things and change some, but those are just extras. The bare minimums for the page to be decent are ready. I think I'll change some colours too because people have told me their eyes have burned after reading in my page. I'm also making a website for a friend, so I may not update a lot in the near future, but in no way I'll drop it. I still want to add a background, so that's probably my next thing in the to-do list.
I'm in the process of changing everything. I've simplified the side bars because one on each side felt like a lot. The site is now designed to be seen in a 16:9 screen. Which is not great since I use a 4:3 monitor and now I have a bunch of negative space below. I still have to make a background and maybe some props, I'll see.
I just stated to play with the Opera GX mods. It's still a beta feature, so be mindful that you may face some problems, and I saw the CRT mod and I knew I had to try it. The first two TVs my family had were CRT TVs, and since we changed to a more modern screen, I kinda missed the feel that the CRT had. Specially since I started emulating old games, that were developed for CRT screens and don't look that good on clean ones. The way the pixels flow into each other and the chromatic aberration is amazing. I wonder if I can get a CRT instead of my current monitor...
This will be the last entry of the day. Most days won't probably have more than two entries unless a lot of things happened. Going back to the title, I've been really bored recently, so I have taken a liking to watching multiple hours long videos going in great depth on a given topic. Quiton reviews channel is a great example of this with his videos for Victorious, iCarly and Sam&Cat. As I'm writing this, I'm watching One Piece 101 | PCP University Lecture by BestGuyEver.
I've been playing Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike against other people via Fightcade recently. I really like the way everything works, and I haven't face any problematic player yet. I wish I knew how to play other games just because the 3rd Strike server has too many things happening. I'm also interested in Street Fighter III: 4th Arragment, a modified version that looks really cool. For now I've only played using Alex, but I'm willing to try Hugo.
I'm trying to make this look good, but it may be difficult to see it with so few entries. I hope this looks good. I'm thinking every entry should have like a minimum of maybe a 100 words to look good. Adding images may be difficult seeing the format of this blog. Maybe linking them is the best idea. Old style.
