General

Summer semester classes just started...

Coding

I finally resumed work on stellar-enigma. I made some improvements to objects to facilitate editing, as well as making objects a little more flexible. I also finished implementing basic camera animations. I'm currently working on cleaning them up and making them less janky. Then, I'll add additional animation types.

I've been working on a project called aster. It's a barebones static site generator for gemini and html. It is very rudimentary at the moment, but I hope to add more features soon.

Books

I tried to start reading at the beginning of this year, but that didn't really end up working out. I started reading Starsight, by Brandon Sanderson, a while back, but haven't finished it yet. I read the first two books back when they came out, but haven't got around to finishing the series, and want to rectify this.

Music

Jim Kirkwood dropped a new album recently, and it's great. (It's over seven and a half hours long). I haven't extensively listened to it yet (due to the length), but I already love it. If you like dungeon synth or electronic music, I would recommend checking it out. (If you don't want to start with such a long album, try some of his other works). Bandcamp link

So, the new echotide album finally released, and it's phenomenal. I might write up a review eventually, but I won't make any promises. If you like post rock, you should consider giving it a listen.

Misc

I started doing Celeste speedrun attempts again. I've lowered my PB by close to three minutes in the past week. (Current PB is 46:07.80). Comparing this PB to my individual level best splits, A sub-45 time is possible.
