Your probably wondering, why is this post called "the end?" Well it's because today marks the end of me dealing with all the stinky companies trying to steal my info and parent me themselves because appearently that's YouTube's job now not my parents :) I'll probably make a blog post pretty soon going over that in more detail because oh boy is that something I need to get off my chest, but for now, thanks for checking out the site!

After about a month of work I have a really decent working site, there are still quite a few kinks but its working very well. Since the last update I have added a working profile system, DMs system, and friends system. I also added a notification feature that took way too long to get working right but as of last night it is working nearly perfectly. Before I release version 1.0 I still want to add a groupchat system and something to help the site stand out, a common complaint from people I'm having test it is that it is incredibly bare and there isn't much to do on their, I have been thinking about what I could add and I am very stumped as adding something like shorts would completely undermine the entire goal of the site. I don't plan on adding photos or videos until further notice as it would take up way too much space that I can't afford currently. If anyone has any ideas for a gimmick or feature I could add to help to site stand out more, you can message me on Blognet. My username is friend_ultra - the big boss man (You'll see my profile in the public chat) other than that I have 2 potential investors (two of my friends) one is offering $1 for 0.25% of the company and the other is undetermined. More updates to come.

THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! Hello from school. I went bck to school on Wednesday and I am writing this from my homeroom class, and probably lunch table, but thats besides the point. Last night before I went to bed I finally finished DK Bananza, and I'm glad to say that most of my worries for the game were gone by the halfway point. For starters the game was much much MUCH longer than I expected, turns out there were 1,500 sublayers in the end along with Final spoiler warning: New Donk City which appears at the very end of the game, AND there are multiple little intervention parts that don't count as there own layers and the game ended up taking me around 3 weeks to beat which I think is decent and there's also a post game I haven't even started yet. SECONDLY: The game got noticably more difficult by the 4th quarter of the game and I was genuinely raging by the final few boss fights lol, I had the most trouble with the first K. Rool fight that pretended to be the final boss fight, and the second K. Rool fight would've been extremely difficult for me if I had not watched a video of someone beating it, also if your wondering I have now died from things other than falling off cliffs stupidly. Obviously the voice acting didn't change halway through the game but again sort of a silly personal nitpick that doesn't effect anything. Also I finally found Diddy. Diddy Kong/10 would recommend.

I officially have a working prototype for the blog network, using github and cloudfare I have created a simple chatroom that works suprising well, although there are a few bugs that will need fixed and theres much more I'd like to add (friends, personal posts/blogs, etc) it's gonna be really good once its done if I can execute this right. If you'd like to try out the site I've set this post to send you to the website when you click on it. My username is friend_alpha

Over the last weekend I had a 3 day long garage sale and made just over $100, and the entire time I knew exactly what I was gonna buy, I spent most of my summer saving my money to buy a Switch 2 and I got it just over a week after DK Bananza released so I decided that was the next game I was gonna buy (the console came with Mario Kart World) and today we went to walmart and I bought the game and I've played it for about 4 hours and I am currently at the beginning of layer 400 and I have.. some thoughts on it. So first of all it feels WAY too easy, I have only died on the little mini challenge levels and the ONLY times that I've died in the main game was stupidly by falling off cliffs, don't get me wrong it is incredibly fun so far but also so far it has felt INCREDIBLY short, I am really hoping that it's longer than I think it is because if theres only 10 layers then I'm already almost halfway through the game after 4 hours of gameplay which I feel like is an issue. Also not to be rude but the voice acting specifcally for Pauline can be incredibly silly sounding sometimes which isn't a problem it's just a small nitpick. Other than that I am enjoying the game a whole bunch but I am yet to see Diddy which makes me sad because I LOVE Diddy. (kong)

Today, I am beginning a new endeavor, I am starting ANOTHER project. I am going to create my own social media. I know it sounds insane but hear me out, I don't like modern day social media all the algorithms and whatever they call their version of youtube shorts, so I thought why don't I just make my own site with none of the issues plaguing modern day social media? So I can up with "MyBlog" but then I changed it to "The Blog Network" because I like the longer more classic names. I also have a business partner, my friend Jack. Although I am a bit worried about this because he does not seem to be nearly as interested in this as I am, but I well, if he tries mooching off me once I become a billionare off the site I won't let him. I'll keep whoever is even reading these updated on how things end up going.

its sunday today but luckily i have a few weeks left of summer break, I went to a local Pokemon Tournement today I've been going for most sundays for about 4 weeks now and the only reason I won any rounds today was because of technicality I had to sit out because there was an uneven amount of people, hopefully I'll do better next time because someone there introduced me to a website called "limiteless tcg" so I'll probably be working on my deck for a bit. I also have a garage sale this weekend, so I won't be able to go this time but hopefully my parents will take me next weekend
