( @cececometz ) [the message is in octarian] Hi! I admire your enthusiasm about octarian machines. I can tell you know a lot. That’s something to be prideful about!
Have you ever tried to use your own tentacles to power one up? It really can bring one to life and have its personality shine through.

Thanks so much for the support! I must say, when I began this blog, I wasn't anticipating all the positive responses and engagement that I've garnered! It's been a pleasant surprise, to say the least. I've spent countless hours toiling in my studies in the hopes of one day becoming a great Octarian engineer myself-- for the longest time, it wasn't easy being only self taught, but the internet has opened up many avenues of opportunities for me! Though I'm far from home at the moment, that hope still remains as bright as ever, and I'm glad that my knowledge can bring joy and education to others, as well. For being a simple little gimmick blog, it's certainly brought me a lot of joy in return!
To answer your question, I have! There's benefits and drawbacks, in my experience. On one hand, there's much less hassle in programming commands, which makes that process a lot more intuitive. However, I find that the machines I place my tentacles into don't always go the way I'd like them to-- they tend to have sort of a mind of their own. To put it simply, it makes the process more like training a new pet than anything else. Not that I'm not up to the task! Most assuredly, I am! It's simply a different skillset, and certain projects don't fit with that process as well as others.
One other benefit is that if the machine fails, I know what I'm having for dinner that night.
