So, it’s a new year (around 13 days ago), where humans celebrate one rotation around the sun. So, I want this year to be a bit different (hopefully). This year I want to get into Visual Novels. ( offtopic ): So, most of the time, from a young age, I have mainly played adventure, action, simulation and creative games with a heavy emphasis on story games. I barely play multiplayer, and even if…
So, I recently decided to open a misskey (sharkey) account on my 1 year anniversary on the fediverse. You can check it out here on @thoofan@sakurajima.social . So, because I have an account on a different platform I wanted to do a small comparison of what is it like between the both. Another note is that while I am referring to misskey, I am actually using Sharkey, a fork of Misskey, on my…
So, I have now updated the main site (again), this one being the largest revamp. The update moves further away from the blog first approach, to a more of a personal place on the internet with a website with sub pages filed with content, and the blog acting as a blog. I mainly use the blog a more quiet space to put out thoughts and things that I don’t want to post on mastodon for everyone in…
So, recently (5 months ago) I started to watch vtubers, which is also very weird for me, as I have never been a stream watcher. I usually don’t watch streams, doesn’t matter if they are my favourite YouTuber, I would usually watch clips if anything interesting happens. So, the main way I got interested was watching clips of Hololive members, and seeing the silliness that goes down in…
Saloon by R Sound Design feat. Haru Love the different vocals, and the beat is really catchy. I am also trying to find more songs featuring Haru in it but can’t find much (that catches my attention).

I wanted the highlight my very complex process of how I listen to music, whether that is at home on my computer, on the go or even on obscure devices. A bit about what I listen Lets first describe what I listen to. I listen to mainly J-pop, some J-rock and Vocaloid. Mainly a mix of Japanese music; though, recently been adding some K-pop. I organise my songs into 2 playlists. ‘ Sekai ’,…

So I wanted to write a small post on how I write posts for my blog, also I love nerding out about my setup. So firstly my blog is made using Hugo , a static site generator. I use the PaperMod theme . I kept it simple in terms of theme (I run another blog for my programming and I use a much more fancier theme there). I write my posts in markdown, as that is what is supported by Hugo and I like…

Hanataba by Mimi feat. KAFU The instruments and the vocals complement each other. This was the first song featuring KAFU I heard and fell in love with the vocals; Also I didn’t know until recently that I was listening to the Artist ( KAF ) who provided the voice for KAFU and was not able notice the difference between them in a song featuring both of them; kept wondering why, until I found…
So this week I decided to download Infinity Nikki . It seemed like a pretty chill and light open world game which peaked my interest. So I decided to install it on my phone, and then it had to take a long time to download 20gb of data and then a really long time to compile shaders. I played the tutorial, but was getting around 20 fps on my phone. So at the end I decided to install it on my new…

I recently decided to hop on the fediverse. There was 2 reasons. I have a main account (persona: developer ) and I didn’t want it to mix with my other interest, because I wanted to have a persona that is more chill and shares a bit about life. I wanted to test out the fediverse/ blogging in a more chill environment. (I made my own blog before this one, yet I post on here more than there)…

Today I borrowed my friends second drawing tablet since he bought a new one and had the old smaller one lying around. I am always in awe at how artists just blindly runs their pen across the tablet and can make beautiful art. It’s such a cool skill in my eyes. So, I decided to sit down in front of my laptop, plug in the tablet and launch Krita . I then started hovering the pen over the…
I am thoofan (あらし), I recently started delving and enjoying Japanese media, its only been 11 months since I have invested some of my time into exploring Japanese media and culture.
