I had to update the version of PHP on my web host, which inadvertently broke my old WordPress theme. Apparently this blog still comes up on Google sometimes, so I figured I’d keep it up and just switch to another theme. Apologies if some links/images are broken now.

As I’m here, a quick life update:

• I spent several years learning gamedev, and I released Monospaced Lovers on PC/PS5/Switch in late 2024.
• I’m still available on X, Steam, and various Discords.
• If you need to email me for whatever reason, admin[at]scarletstring.moe is the safest bet.

I pretty much left the core otaku community when mobage got big in the mid-2010s, but in some ways, it really is true that we’re here forever. It’s been interesting to run into old usernames from the 2000s aniblogosphere (remember that word?) in recent years.

For many of us, I think there’ll always be some aspect of otaku culture that pulls us back in, even if it’s not in the way that we expect. And I think that’s pretty cool.

No one cares about anyone else’s life’s story, but I was reminded recently that I never closed off this blog properly, so I might as well do it now. Here’s what happened over the past few years:

• 2008: Memories of Eternity was founded (mid-high school for me).
• 2009: Joined twitter and made my first internet friends. Hooray.
• 2010: University starts; I simultaneously got good enough to run a proper blog and ran out of time to do so.
• 2011: Started traveling for cons; turned AX into an annual tradition; joined The Nihon Review and redirected focus there.
• 2012: Rejoined anime fandom after a two-year IRL hiatus; tried to start blogging again; met a twitter girl and started an eroge TL group.
• 2013: Stopped Paused translation for a bit; started dating said girl; ???
• 2014 (?!): Applying for school in the US; probably west coast, probably for game design or film, either an MFA or college certification.

So I guess I’ve been here for a while. The internet is fun. Anime blogging was the beginning of my online existence so it’ll always be somewhat special to me. I’m still on twitter and probably always will be. It’s hard to say if I’ll get the chance to blog again, but if I do, it’ll be elsewhere. My main domain will contain all the relevant details, anyhow.

Thanks for reading my ramblings, whoever’s out there. See you online.
