Anyhoo! I have Things to discuss.

And by "Things", I mean "Stuff that's been on my mind while doing the website update".

Time for... Yet Another List! >.<

- Dropping the Twitter Link.

The fact that damn near every post at present has either "LINKS IN BIO" or some Crypto shill reply bot alongside ads for the dumbest things is making me not want to advertise that I still have an account there. I don't plan on putting an end to @SillyVamp just yet. Things are terrible but I don't want my handle bought and used for yet another scam/porn bot.

That said, I'm definitely thinking about simply removing the Twitter links from the Main site in the next update.

- Dropping the devArt mirror.

This one's a tough one and something I'm still really rolling around in my head.

The DeviantArt I knew - the place I started my accounts on and chose to mirror the comic at all those years ago - is dead.

Their current owners - Wix - and their chosen handlers have really ran it into the ground and faster than I'd have expected. They've been bragging lately about their contests and "Big Earners" that, upon closer inspection, are just GenAI crap being pumped out at scale. The folks supposedly making bank on selling "their work" seem to be just some bots passing money around to boost their numbers with a few real people/folks not a part of the loop getting suckered in. That's not taking into account the severe rise in spam since the start of the NFT craze that never died out. I'm at the point where I just don't want to swing through and deal with it anymore.

It's bad enough that there's a non-zero chance all of my work is in their GenAI's database from before they did their half-hearted "NoAI" tag. I'm really wondering if it's even worth it despite the many awesome active readers I still have over there. -.-

- Keeping the current "Every-Other-Week with Breaks" update schedule.

After those other two, this one is super light and easy. I think I'm going to stick to uploading every other week when I have something to upload.

I'm going to try my best to Have something to upload (I have some scripts written up) but I'll take breaks to get other things done like the website update and the following Biff Book stuff. Being the only person on this project since its creation has 100% taken its toll and I think this is the best way to prevent the strip from ending all together.

Now I'm off to shower, shave and eat a Breakfast flavored Cup Noodle (which is oddly good for a gimmick flavor). Today has been... less than great. Sinus issues from my heaters going nuts thanks to the unstable weather. Nothing stops momentum quite like a sinus headache that just won't quit, ya' know?

And so I'm not all doom and gloom with this...

The test website looks great! You can check out all the latest updates here. -> http://test.propheka.com/

Remember: Stay Safe. Wear a Mask if you need to. Get vaccinated if you can. Get a booster if you're already good on all that. And remember to keep your head up.

'Till next time! = )
