I liked a good amount of the songs on the album, but I felt like they didn't have as much variety as they could've and that all of the songs kind of blended together. Not a bad album by any means though.

Question of the day: Now that over a third of 2024 passed, how did this year go so far for you? Was it good? Or was it bad?
For me, I would say it’s better than the last four years as of this point. The year began while I was out of town, I got to spend at least one night in the hotel without sleeping problems, and I ate at a Medieval Times restaurant for my birthday, while I enjoyed Bell Tree’s Farewell to New Leaf and Easter events. It’s just like the good old days from last decade (2014-2017 and the first four months of 2019). I may have felt too much nostalgia for 2016, but that year, I felt too much nostalgia towards 2003. Maybe in 10 years from now, I would feel nostalgia for 2024.
But I will tell you one thing that went wrong. I got permanently banned from Mollycord. And it was out of injustice. Imagine getting kicked out of the official fan club of one of your passions because your beliefs don’t align with the administrator’s views. I also had the worst case of GERD out of all the times I suffered it, The Ghost and Molly McGee has been cancelled, I’m still waiting for DK64 and DKR to be added to Nintendo Switch Online, and the 3DS era has finally came to an end for me. But all of these problems (including the Mollycord ban) still don’t compare to what I went through back in 2018-2020. Now I did have a much worse experience with Mollycord than I did with TV.com, but 2024 is shaping to be a much better year than 2008.

This year hasn't been as good as last year for me since I'm stuck living in an area I don't really like, but it's still leagues better 2012-2022 for me. I've tried new food, had a nice birthday, found some nice third places, and enjoyed spending days by the woods. I've also been playing some really good video games and reading good books.

Let's see.. my 2024 so far... I want to say some bitter some sweet. So far 2024 is about half way gone since it'll be June in a couple of days. I don't know yet if it is really a good year. I kinda look at things day to day and I still have the other half of the year left. But the bitter parts are pretty bitter.. but there are some really good things too from this year.
I feel like every year 2020 and onwards has gotten progressively better for me, just due to the things I've been achieving and progress I've made in certain aspects of my life. I'm optimistic about my future, and hope this trend continues.

2024 was almost life-changing, in a way. After I became active here months ago, I believe my mental health seems to have slightly improved; I became less insecure, which helped me to express my own opinions without fear of being attacked and rediscover my love for drawing. I befriended some warm people there and I was able to expand my tastes in music too.
But that was my experience online. In real life, I don't think I've changed. I've been messy, disorganized, and lazy for a long time, and am still like that as of posting. Plus, I still haven't made any IRL friends. In addition, my parents are tired of reminding me to do stuff because I forget or am too lazy to do so. I'll have to try and work on those flaws this year.

I've never had an issue with forums. They've been beneficial for the hour or two of downtime I have in the morning.
But Discord has always left me with ill and stressed feelings. Something about live chatting apps that don't work for me. I can only stomach them for so long before they sap out my mental health.
It doesn't help that most of my conversations there are ghost towns. Usually friends that I reconnected with shortly before never speaking again. (and usually if I say something or try and revive the chat it's not acknowledged). I ultimately feel better when I'm not using it at all.
Yet it's a double edged sword. Sometimes I do enjoy having the app, so I haven't deleted my account yet. I'm rather solitary, even on occasion I feel like I want to have somebody I can text or call for a moment. Even if it's not reciprocated, it's somewhat beneficial to me knowing I have that if I need it.
The slower flow of forums works much smoother to me. It's just more comfortable and I'm glad places like this still exist.

I took a long break from forums for about a year and used Discord exclusively for online messaging. Instead of my mental health draining I felt more like I was addicted to the app and it was taking up all my time. With forums I can usually just open the site a few times a day for a few minutes at a time and be able to stay caught up with things. With Discord conversations are happening all the time and I feel like I have to leave the app open all the time or I’ll miss important things. It’s also just tempting to open it up a bunch to see if I have new server notification or message from a friend.
Forums are definitely safer than Discord. As a moderator of a different forum we can usually stop bots from joining and keep them out easily. On Discord it’s much harder and bots will likely spam people’s DMs and friend requests before they can be taken care of if they join a server. The vast majority of the messages I get on Discord from people who aren’t in my friends list are either bots or scammers on servers I don’t even use for anything other than emojis.

2024 has just been so-so. Nothing immaculate or terrible, just average. Like every year, there have been plenty of ups and downs, frustrations with people and my job, but lots of love and joy to be had as well. I went on vacation last month and it was pretty fun, but even that had a few problems. All in all it's the same as any other year, basically.
