An ancient evil awakens. Rather, phallic imagery has lead to the rediscovery of mindfulness.
Nearly five years after Gameproc's CMS system broke and I waited for Lavarinth to do anything to fix it, I spent 15 minutes researching startpage and github and seem to have (at least superficially?) fixed everything myself thanks to community pull requests.
That means that, finally, I can edit and add pages to the website again after years of dead time. This doesn't solve the most prominent issue with the site, of course - hosting the content - but it does mean I can, for example, add articles and other material once again.
My last post (edit of a post, done via manually editing xml files) was some years ago. That was during the first half of 2023, when life turn an even darker turn than it already had in the three years prior. 2024 and the beginning half of 2025 have been similarly disastrous, with numerous deaths in my very limited circle of real-life acquaintences, financial hardship and escalating health problems.
However, there has also been progress. As perhaps the sole surviving member of the original CC community from the early 2000's other than perhaps RCX to have ambitions for content creation I have continued both video and game development in spite of the dark and quiet world you see before you. Gameproc may have slumbered, but my fires of defiance have burned yet. ApexX, though still but a conceptual project seeing only sparse experimental work, has nonetheless established curious subject matter, and I've created over 300 casts of various competitive game matches, multiple LP's and hundreds of hours of development material. The D&D campaign ABE is well under way and my spurrious work continues steadily if not extremely painfully.
All this time I have never, ever forgotten about Gameproc or my desire to return to the way things once were. Alas, despite research from many individuals it seems the only solution to hosting that exists in the entire planet is to locally host my content and pay for a business connection. This is simply not possible, so for the time being my video content will remain dark. That isn't to say I am not considering alternate content I may be able to bring to GP, especially now that I can actually work on the site again.
Things are the worst they have ever been. I have so many insane stories to tell you, and so many experiences to recount. It's only a matter of figuring out how to do so.
