Happy New Year, New UI Discussion, and More
6 years ago
Hello everyone, sorry about not being around to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. At the very least I can wish everyone a Happy New Year as we prepare for the new decade slowly approaching. I was mostly unable to make a journal on wishing everyone a Merry Christmas as my newest christmas gift, a very comfortable blanket, has been making me sleepy when I least expect it. So far this blanket has been making me sleep earlier than intended and sometimes makes me go back to sleep for a nap. Needless to say, I'm super late on things given I've just been sleeping and sleeping if I'm not typing or watching Twitch.
In other news, I have found the 10th member of the Pokemon Shield cast. This means once I post all the bios and the like I may be able to consider stories involving all 20 characters. Just note that with the Sword and Shield cast having grown to 20, that doesn't mean there won't be room for surprise characters. Who knows, maybe another legendary will descend from the heavens in order to guide the shield cast. Only time will tell as things change around the pokemon daily. The only other thing to note is that there may be some invading creatures into the Gallery. I'm not sure who they are or what they can do, but as they've been seen near the pokemon I can only guess they're related somehow. People have been telling me they're digimon, but I've certainly never heard of that.
One more thing to talk about is definitely FA's new User Interface. I had viewed the site an hour before the changes went live and upon booting it up I almost mistook FA for a different site initially. I will definitely say this new user face has its ups and downs, but one change I'm particularly happy with is its changes for mobile platforms. I use FA mobile to keep up to date with new content, while I use a computer to manage notifications and mass favorite some posts from one artist. This mass favorite feature will be easy to use since the favorite button will be on the same place regardless of the image. It'll definitely be easier to keep up and fav all the submissions I need to, though I will need to see just how useful this is.
2010 - 2019 has definitely been a crazy decade. I can say my favorite events has been learning of the online world and the sort of artwork and characters designed, developed, and published almost everyday. I had a rocky start from 2013 to 2016 with sites like Deviantart and Tumblr, but as all people do when learning something new you have to take the mistakes and use them to better yourself. As we go into the new decade, I do hope to do more such as focusing on commissions or developing new stories and interactions. There is so much we can expect that I can only imagine at the moment what we can see with just a few months of time into this new decade. Happy New Year everyone and remember to have fun.
