What's purgema?
For those who may have been wondering about April 1st this year - I spent it in The Beehive discord, acting like Chris. Fun stuff.This post is regarding the name change, nearing 3 weeks late to the anniversary of the original post.
I have given the people way more patience than they ever actually needed. We have long reached the point where I could have immediately assumed offense on 100% of uses of my previous name, and I would have been correct 100% of the time.
I am taking down the document that talks about the name change. Those who care know the reasoning by now, and it's meaningless yapper for everybody else.
- We are at the point of the deprecation plan where the previous domain will just return 404. 1 year from now, the domain will simply just expire on its own, and be no more.
(It is also possible that I might switch to a newer VPS for pricing and software age reasons, and simply not bind the domain to it. Please don't make your software rely on getting a 404 response.) - I have STILL not gotten to purging every single thing that refers to me by my old name as if it's acceptable to just throw around. That should change pretty soon.
Being 1 year after that has been posted, I would like to address the plans I have outlined in the document:
- Driving school. Possibly very slightly important so I can have an actual life
^ This has been done, and a previously unused car has also been acquired. - Securing myself in the industry. Either a job, or going complete indie developer.
^ The game I have shown on the birthday video has been building out pretty solid, and provide some nice living loot as well; I wonder when next I'll get to show what has been cooking... - B3313 Unabandoned A3.
^ The scope has been established and set in stone by now; expect a release later this year! - Fixing up my current projects that are still active. Finally, after basically forever, there shall be a working Recommendation Tweaker.
^ so ummmmmmmmmmmm there is STILL no working Recommendation Tweaker - Personal development. Includes communication skills and branching out my current technical knowledge.
^ That's been going pretty steadily as a huge side-quest.
Do not let anybody tell you that your identity has been set in stone. Your name is the one that you explicitly listen to when called - therefore, it is defined by nothing and nobody but yourself.
Copper is a pretty nice example of this - she simply does not use her government name anywhere, so is pretty much unknown. She is just known everywhere as 'Copper'.
For those who insist on calling out for your previous name anyway like a boss:everyone who doesnt respect deadnames being dead should be cursed to be called by their original xbox360 gamertags
