<<Hello there friends! Still alive?>>
Hope you're all doing well, got a few points to go over on this Journal as an update on progress but I've already stayed up all of last night so I pray you can forgive me for being brief in some areas.
First: I would like to thank you all for your patience in awaiting the uploads of all my artworks I have made for you over the past few years.
As of 07:56 Local time (02:56 FA Time? Not sure what timezone FA's working out of x.x), I can safely conclude that all my SFM Uploads previously held in backlog are now live on my Gallery! I have been working on a near daily basis for nearly the past 2 months to get on top of my backlog and now all that remains to upload are a bunch of VRC Screenshots and Commissions I have bought from other artists. Which leads to my next point....
Second: While I wish I could continue to upload these works tomorrow and the days to follow, I must ask for your patience as I will be taking my Laptop to see some well overdue repairs.
My W key has proven unresponsive since a few months before the laptop had it's hard drive issue, not typing unless pressed with another key with unreliable success. Given how many of my works revolve around Water, I reckon it can be obvious just how often that can be a trial of patience ^^;
In addition, my Left CTRL key has existed in 2 pieces for the past year and month, held together in place by tape. (I wish I was joking but I was on deployment when it first came apart and I was forced to make do) Let's just say it can be painful to constantly have to hold a loose key down that keeps getting caught on the edge of where it depresses into the keyboard.
This repair shouldn't take anywhere NEAR as long as the laptop did for OP DUNKIRK, THAT was a tick sheet of how many ways a Data Recovery Center can screw up and turn a recovery of weeks into a Half Year Process... This repair is solely hardware based; Hours at best, Days at most.
Third: As the Art Backlog finds itself soon becoming a Bad Memory rather than something painfully Overdue Uploading, OP ART AVALANCHE will soon Transition to OP BUOYANT. This Operation stands to ensure any and all art that I am able to upload will be done so in prompt order rather than sitting on an ever growing sideline. Art should be enjoyed by all who are happy to behold it, not gathering dust in a dark corner out of sight :)
Fourth: Upon the return of my Laptop in working order, I will gladly be taking upon Commissions once again! I may need some time to rebuild my SFM assets with the assistance of friends I cannot even hope thank enough to this day, I should be back in business soon! I know some of you have approached me in regards to this not long ago, I haven't forgotten I can assure you, I just need a little more time and I'll gladly get to you.
Fifth: For those of you curious, and I apologize for so many notifs over the past couple months, here is how many uploads I've carried out to get all my SFM Works uploaded whilst also including intermissions of other projects.
Start date: 03/02/2025
End date: 30/03/2025
Images uploaded (including VRC and Commissioned goods): 347 Uploads
Words typed: ... I don't wanna F#€£ing know XD
As much as I take Pride in having my Writings in Descriptions add to the Depth (Literal and Metaphorical) of an image, I don't think I'd be alone in thinking that if I hadn't, I would have gotten all of these Live sooner in this Upload Spree. Don't get me wrong, I'll gladly continue to do so if others you all enjoy it, it might just mean each upload might take a little longer each time.
Finally: I just wanna thank you all for your continued support on and off site. Things haven't been easy for me lately and fate has easily been spinning the wheel on how many times it can screw me, but at the same time, I have found myself helped up again and again by those around me. While I cannot hope to repay that kindness, I certainly hope that my continued efforts here can continue to provide a Place of Peace and Happiness for you all in an ever unpredictable world.
Stay Strong, Stay Safe, Stay You.
<<And thanks friends; See you again.>>

Best of luck with the repairs, in my experience laptops are capricious at the best of times!
Looking forward to OP BOUYANT, stay cozy!
Thanks for the good wishes! Just dropped off the Laptop for repairs as I speak, replacement keyboard is required but should be at the repair shop and installed within the week
(Flashback to the time I needed my laptop's overheat sensors replaced, and I left it at the shop for two months. Went back to check on its progress; it was just gathering dust in a corner. They hadn't even checked it!)
Bad News: It was even WORSE than the keyboard I had before. Now I gotta wait between 1-2 MORE weeks for a replacement keyboard from China
Either way, I should only be charged for the repair and the WORKING Keyboard
There was a brief scare in his wording where he said the keyboard wasn't quite right. But it turns out the only problem with that was simply the fact the backlighting of the case wouldn't be working. Zero issue there so all in all, start the countdown folks! Almost back in business!
