fuck apple too 🍎

there is a suicide joke in the last paragraph. it is censored like this

another one of my tech disasters... i found my dad's old ipad 2nd gen and tried re-doing its jailbreak. for context, i had re-done it previously last year, and it was the BIGGEST hassle ever... i did it with the method my dad had previously done (ph0enix) which was like,,, a lot harder than doing it with kok3shi9 (recommended method). i also made the mistake of factory resetting it before doing something trivial. how i love being forgetful

all ios jailbreaks that have access to cydia need to run a little program called "cydia eraser" before factory resetting to truly remove the jailbreak... +_+ i spent roughly two days searching how to even solve this but it went well in the end. i just needed to put it into recovery mode and restore with itunes. after that, everything was smooth sailing (FINALLY!!!). there's not much i can do with something this old but it's pretty good for school stuff! my school should have given all students of my year a tablet to access google classroom, but there weren't enough of them. they said whoever had tablets could bring them to school, and that's what i'll do! does it run google classroom? obviously not

buuut, it can still read pdfs (and epubs) which is the main thing it'll be used for. i read "the art of splatoon" (splatoon 1 artbook) yesterday in school and the big screen works pretty well :-) i also managed to find an old minecraft p.e. version for it... cough cough not that i'll game in school or anything cough cough. anywho, not much has happened between the last blog update... only the grandfest! it's currently ongoing. "a message to us from far away in the past, saying 'shine on'" - i'm team past, baby! why? i started playing the trilogy from splatoon 1 and although my past isn't my greateast i find myself needing to look back to it so often... here's another cool team past quote i found posted by someone at the venue: "the present and future all eventually become past". ughghg i wasn't around for finalfest so this is my "I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH I CAN FINALLY KILL MYSELF WITH ITS END" moment (this is a joke, i'm not suicidal). good luck to all teams! i'll get working on the halloween themes after the fest ends :3

fuck spotify 🎶

created on 27/07/2024

yeah... it sucks!! my premium free trial died like two days ago and i've simply had it. a few days ago, before my premium ended, i downloaded the whole splatunes discography (1-3 + octotunes) so i could listen to all the songs i wanted. i had a nightmare of a time editing the metadata but alas, it was done. then i kinda forgot about it and zipped all the songs. since i remembered that when my premium ended, i instantly got to work. i thought it'd be something quick and easy. oh boy

i originally got the songs through media downloader, a yt-dlp front-end. it doesn't provide metadata so i spent a SHIT ton of time finding the songs on youtube then putting the metadata. that was NOT ideal. then i tried spot-dl. it downloads the audio from youtube and the metadata from spotify, so that was what i settled for later on. there were still some albums that i had to insert metadata manually either because they were nightcore versions or because they were uploaded by sources that were not official... i also used khinsider to download some splatoon songs that weren't in the albums

what about listening to music on mobile? well, that's a whole another VERY tiring story. first off all, i tried syncthing, since i used to use it to sync my obsidian vault around. it did not work and simply gave up on synching files ?? hello?? then i tried resilio sync, which worked! FUCKING FINALLY!!!! then i had to redo my playlists through retro music player. i realised i forgot to mention, but i'm using musicbee as my audio player on pc and mp3tag as my main tag editor (but musicbee can edit tags too.)

i'm autistic. now what? 🌈

created on 21/07/2024

oh boy. it's been a little while, eh? a lot of stuff has indeed happened in between these blog posts. i'll be brief: i started playing splatoon 1 and a few months later bought splatoon 2 and 3, i got detroit: become human and am currently trying to get a few different endings and i'm REALLLY motivated to work on the site. i am autistic. i got professionally diagnosed along with my dad. but... it seemed too easy? i hear the stories of americans saying they had to re-do tests multiple times because of prejudice (esp. against people that were afab). i just went to the neuropsychologist for a couple days, did some kinda weird tests and got the results this thursday (18/07). i'm not sure. was i supposed to feel accomplished? i didn't fight for this. i really didn't...

i don't know what to do with this diagnosis. the neuropsychologist said that my autism basically makes me look tidy and organized to other people. i'm the perfect masker i guess? this is all really confusing to me. i don't know what i'm supposed to do... am i supposed to feel different? act different? i'm gonna do my research on all that stuff to better manage myself but overall, i don't think i have the courage to tell anyone (other than maybee my friends. not sure if i should tell them that too). i don't want to be treated differently. i'm still the same old me, i just now know why i'm different. i'm scared, i'm happy, i'm not sure on how things will go...

post-trip updates! 🌷

created on 16/02/2024

hiya there!!! i'm finally back from my bday trip!!! i had lots of fun. i went to nyc for a few days and went to lots of museum and the aquarium :333 i loved the city, even though it was kinda dirty and really cold... oh well... between my last update and now, i've gotten back into undertale and bought a wiiu!!! yay!!! okay so, as for the undertale thing. i got back and i've been making a LOT of art... i even opened a tumblr account that has posts daily :D it's really fun to keep up with the account!! as of now, i've just homebrewed my wiiu and its vwii and i'm honestly having a blast! i missed all these wii games... i used to play them a lot as a kid :p

tbh, i was really nervous about the new year of school, since this year, i switch turns because my school can't accomodate everyone in the same turn... (in brazil, you can have classes in the morning or in the afternoon). today was my first day of class and... it wasn't as bad as i thought! it's really fun because i have the whole morning to myself and i can sleep whenever i want :] ah well, i think that's all!

NEW WEBSITE NEW ME!!! 🍥

created on 21/01/2024

YIPPEE!!! WEBSITE REVAMP! i am genuinely so happy that i finally finished this!! a lot of stuff happened between my last blogpost and now... i am now a just dance super fan, i got (a bit) into tarot, i got into crochet(!!!), i bought some cozy games for myself... i think i'm starting to take care of myself more and that's honestly the best thing ever :3 sure, the rough and unpleaseant moments do happen but it's okay. once we learn how to accept our unpleaseant feelings and recognize them, life becomes a tiny bit easier, you know? from the thousands of problems we all have, it's a relief to have one less.

i love the feeling when we go and do something we never thought we would. i never thought i'd have made this much progress, ever! i'd never imagine i'd be able to do the things i do now. i somehow got better at my hobbies (art, music, coding, gaming,) AND got better at organizing myself. i couldn't ask for anything else!!! i have also somehow managed to accept my appearance. it's so... calming? i still do pay a bit of attention to it to make sure everything is ok but for the most part, i'm really happy. i never had this feeling before learning how to "not care". you feel like the prettiest person in the world and it's not in a bad attitude kinda way, it's in a healed person kinda way. i wish this feeling could affect everyone. "not caring" is the best feeling i've EVER had. i hope you feel it too someday (≡^∇^≡)

a small life update 🎀

created on 08/06/2023

hi. sorry for not really updating this site for a while... my life got a bit busy! today, i'll talk about some really important stuff that happened in my life recently! sometime between april and this month, i noticed i wasn't really happy living the way i did. i figured i'd do something to improve! i started playing the flute, writing in my journal, writing down things i have to do in the day (so that i won't forget), started actually wearing clothes i like, decorating my room nicely, tidying up stuff... it feels so much nicer!

i even bought myself a game to reward myself! these last months were a bit tough for me, but i'm hoping everything will continue to be stable and good. i wonder if anyone even reads these? it'd be cool to know if someone did :3 anyways, thanks for reading this silly ramble!

site trinkets (?) + news 🌺

created on 24/03/2023

after going inspo shopping in neocities, i've found a very peculiar site. it reminds me of geocities. the name's it's ya boy pedro. i really like it, tbh! i explored it for a bit and found the awards section! all the awards in there had been given to someone, except one. the time eater award! hmmm... i've been wanting to add some trinkets to this website, you know?

maybe that's gonna motivate me!! tbh, i'd hide funky gifs w songs, easter eggs and maybe even cryptic stuff. i think it'd be fun to make! just little secrets waiting to be uncovered :3 oh! if you're wondering were i've been, well... i got pretty busy with schoolwork and art things! (since i'm trying to open up commissions :p) thanks for your attention, kind stranger!

my experience with consoles 🎮

created on 30/08/2022

alright, everybody knows the nintendo wii, right? that old nintendo console that almost everybody had. well, i got one many many years ago, around 2016. i think it still had internet support at the time. it was the greatest thing ever! i can't count how many hours i spent playing rayman and mario kart... well, everything kinda started to go wrong when one day when i couldn't watch youtube. i got really sad but moved on. then one day, i couldn't play super mario wii or rayman properly :( i told my dad to sell it, as it was pretty broken. i thought it must have been a result of it being modded, and it probably was.

i miss that wii sometimes. not too long after selling it, my dad got us an xbox360! that was in 2020, i think. me and my aunt would play gta san andreas all the time :)) and i discovered that i couldn't get past a san andreas mission, not because i couldn't, but because the game crashed a lot. i decided to reset my save and try again. i never really got in the spot i was before, as for today. but i did start playing gta IV. i still play it sometimes

last year (2021), around december, i bought a nintendo switch lite. best purchase ever! i absolutely love it! i got it with animal crossing: new horizons (physical copy). i bought some games recently for it, because they were either cheap or on sale. some of those include: pikuniku, little nightmares, overcooked and thief simulator! i love my switch and hopefully in the future i'll be able to buy splatoon 2 and 3, pokémon games and mario games :D that's basically it! hope you enjoyed me ranting about consoles :P
