2022

25/12/2024

well guys, 2022 is almost over. what a wild year it's been.

seriously, a lot happened this year:

getting covid
stepping further into discovering myself
spending 20k€ on going electric
going to mcdonald's on a school day (because it was the first school year where i can't go home to eat so i have to stick around the school)
bringing our maths teacher into our stupidities
debating about EXIF metadata
beating everyone at kahoot by a decent margin (including the class's top student (if you're reading this, hey, good luck for the french test on tuesday))
completely changing my visual identity (thank you Vince, you're an absolute god with figma)
going to brittany (imo one of the best french regions to go on vacation to)
meeting Vince for the first time IRL
stepping further into discovering myself (again)
testing out a new name (you'll never know 😈) and new pronouns (they/them)
starting my invisalign treatment
spending another 20k€ on going plug-in hybrid
starting to learn how to drive
starting the new school year
picking up splatoon 3 (love that franchise, it means a heck of a lot to me)
completely redesigning my website
starting the blog you are currently reading
picking music production back up
trying linux
passing a french exam (proud about that one tbh)
contributing to Pronote+
commencing another redesign of my website
starting the production of a new social media project with my friends Azgar, Vince, Locness and, the founder of the project, Luna
getting covid again
tasting the pleasure of VR
getting a VR headset of my own
hosting a raclette party with my friends (truly fire 🔥🔥🔥)
destroying my intestines with said raclette

but most importantly, improving relations with my friends and forming probably some of the closest bonds i've ever had (it's amazing how in a year my friends have given me so much more affection and consideration than my parents over the course of my entire life), and tbf i'm super grateful for having such close IRL and non-IRL friends, absolutely love all of you guys

that reminds me that i wanted to specifically shout out a couple of you friends:

Milla from the Cambridge staff team (the discord about the game, not the uni, i'm not that old)
Nim from the Cambridge staff team
Mark (more active on discord) from the Cambridge staff team

(by now you'll've realized i'm going to shout out everyone from the Cambridge staff team)

Lanterns (link goes to his game reccomendation blog), again from the Cambridge staff team
Oshisaure from the Cambridge ex-staff team, quite good game dev
CylinderKnot from the Cambridge staff team (i love my staff colleagues)
Gizmo from the Cambridge staff team yet again (do check his website, there's lots of cool stuff)
Stratus from the Cambridge ex-staff team
and finally HammrTime from the Cambridge staff team
the other active members of the Cambridge community
the friends mentioned above: Azgar, Vince, Locness Luna, with the addition of delnyn
Sam/kevadesu, swiss dork
Lap
my IRL friends, including but not limited to Aym57
Clembs

and that's about it for the special shout outs!

here's to an amazing 2023, hopefully with less covid! there's also some cool things i want to mention that are going to be happening next year:

Fully updated website, done!
Pronote+ v5, coming throughout 2023
Suirr (the social media project):
Private testing of the semi-final client early 2023
Public testing of the perfected client early-mid 2023
hopefully a decently perfected client public release in mid 2023?

(note the schedule is not final and is only based on in-house speculation (we still have a bit of design and backend work to do)) (2023 edit: development is currently stagnating a little as everyone in the team is completely immerged in school work, we'll be back soon though don't worry :D)

Cambridge 0.4 (coming at least in 2023, at most 2060 (i hope))
Blazenet 1, whenever i feel like it
Symbio, whenever i feel like it again (and i figure out how to do depth tracking)

thank you for reading, luv you and best wishes for 2023!!
