Something I Forgot

 Just as a note before we get started, I always have to type and delete "so" at the beginning of every blog. "So" is my go-to word to start a sentence after thinking about it for a bit. If you see the word "so", I probably thought about that part of the post for a while. Anyway, last post  I talked about the resolutions I made at the start of the year and the updates to them. There's just one thing I forgot. I forgot about the separation of API, Engine, and Game leading to the possibility to create more games and programs easily and that I wanted to make new games and programs in order to improve the API and Engine. That's why in the original resolution ,  I had the section to create two games using the API and Engine. In the current one, I simply said I'd like to make games, but I'm not sure when. The reason I'm bringing this up now is that I've been inspired by Minevolution  (a minecraft cookie clicker-type map), the Upgrade Compl...

Resolutions, Failures, and Changes (Oh My!)

 I posted here  before my New Year's Resolutions (well, some of them), and I'm here now to say: I haven't done them. At least not most of them. I haven't touched TAG since February, I haven't worked on other games or any Bukkit plugins at all, I didn't work on upcoming series for YouTube, there is no season 2 of either Minecraft with Tadukoo or Minecraft: Order of the Stone: A Retelling of the Cave Game, and I didn't make a compilation video for Minecraft with Tadukoo either. What I did do, though, is finish out season 1 of both of those series. And that's it. This post is to update the resolutions. So I'll be stating for each thing where I would be if I had stayed with the original resolution, and then an updated version (which can go into the next year if it needs to). I've also realized that the resolutions I make should be updated more frequently. Because of this, I'll be keeping up-to-date resolutions on either my wiki or somewhere else....

Doubting God (or am I?)

I'm gonna get straight to the point here. Last month or so, I believed that God was telling me to stop going to college for a year. By this, I mean instead of going back in the fall, I wait another year and go back the following fall. But now, I'm not so sure. The problem lies with whether God really told me that or not. If He really did, then I should do it. If not, I still could, but probably shouldn't (unless I figure out on my own that it would be better in some way). I was really confident back then that God was telling me that, but I didn't really think to myself, "Is this God talking?" or anything like that. Now figuring out whether it was God or not isn't really doubting God, because you don't know whether it's really God or not. If you know for sure it's God and question it, that's doubting God. So another question is what I'd be doing in that year. I would be working on my idea of CUR, where I'd be making YouTube videos fo...

Blog Status: May 10, 2016

 As you can see, I've been making about one post a month. I didn't really plan that, it just sort of happened. I remember back in December and January, I thought I'd be making two posts a day every day. Of course that hasn't happened, due to college and work taking a lot of time out of me. There's a lot I could talk about on here, but I never get around to it. For me, my last day of college this semester is Thursday. So now that I'll have more time, I'd like to make a post at least every other week, but preferably every week (or more frequently). I'm afraid that making one more than once a week would lead to me thinking I have nothing more to say (regardless of how false that is). So expect a post later today (possibly in the next hour), and then one two weeks from today.
