Oh, helloo! The hiatus queen here. I'm still alive (lol!).

This post is nothing fancy. I'm testing out some new ReShade presets and camera mods while practicing my composition and framing - just like the good 'ol days.

Oh, and this sim? She's getting ready to see her man.

Getting back into the swing of things ...

(Just some stills. Nothing fancy. Testing out some things, cleaning out CC, etc.)

HOLY - FUCKIN A! I finally released a machinima, just in time for my 27th birthday! *crying*

It will debut on my birthday, Monday, December 8th, at 12:00PM EST (Eastern Standard Time). There will be a premiere on my YouTube channel, so feel free to tune in a couple of minutes before and interact with me!

Again, thank you all so much for your loyal support. I also want to thank my Ducklings, as I missed you all immensely! I plan to deliver consistent, high-quality videos in the future, mainly when life permits. But actions speak louder than words ...

And I see a woman ... a blind woman ...

Nothing wrong with a nice demonstration of a ReShade test. And this is a FIRST for me (PS. Walked into Best Buy and bought a new PC with a different processor and it made all the difference in the world. Like … I can successfully switch between my work, editing, and the game without anything crashing. So I’m trying my best to get my schedule in order to hopefully maintain my YouTube brand a little more! No hardcore promises, tho.)

Missed your videos! What would be your next project ?

Just more short machinimas atm. Really pushing towards the end of the year. Thanks for the love :)

Quick Update.

Hello my little ducklings. Of course - it’s been a minute.

Since I’m in my last year of college preparing for graduation, I’ve decided to extend my YouTube hiatus a little bit more. I may upload a short here-and-there, but to make something that isn’t under a minute takes a while - especially taking the ideas I initially had for a Machinima to make it another (for a TV Pilot or a Feature-Length).

With that said, I’m still not going anywhere. Trust me - my love for sims content creation never goes away. It just takes some time ...

[detoxification] Update.

Hello my little Ducklings. It’s been a year - or so.

I refuse to ignore the acknowledgment of my long absence in The Sims (2) Community, hence the overall importance of this post. No need to waste any worry, I’m alive and well; I just need to detox for a while.

And what do I mean by [detox]?

Well its simple - look it up, lol. I’m not emphasizing physical detoxification - but mentally AND spiritually. 

It’s been almost a year since my renewed relationship with CHRIST after a life-changing existential crisis. College, as most of you may know, is fucking stressful in itself. Sometimes, it's difficult to multitask a desired hobby and a tedious [daunting] experience ... and then the rest of life[’s circumstances] get[s] in the way. For that matter, I wanted to re-configure my priorities and focus more on GOD - while exploring my directing and screenwriting potential in my assignments and portfolio. 

In terms of anything film-related, I’m still pursuing it - just not Sims at the moment. [Plus, I also gave up Sims for lent]. I’ve directed a few projects so far, one including a feature-length film. I have an untitled screenplay for a [potential] full-length film and an untitled hour-long drama series for broadcast; all in working progress under the direction of an awesome mentor. [Not to mention a plethora of TV/Film pitches here and there - and preparing for my first trip to Los Angeles!]

My apologies to each and every one for my lack of participation and [video] content creation. I’m dealing with things a step at a time. I’m only asking for forgiveness. Nothing more.
