A semi-nomadic online traveller from Verdigris, archiving, connecting and creating as much as he can.
Also a budding architect, visual artist, and demoscene musician at heart.
You can also see me down Masto-raft at @jupritona, and Fanlore (JWPH) and Newgrounds (that1verdeian).
This is a simple yet effectively-down-to-earth meme right here. Not all conflicts and problems have to be responded with abject rage and negativity; humility, a willingness to listen with caution, and most of all, an eagerness to explain and discern beyond the bubble like your favorite high school/collegiate instructor would, are all that it takes for positive and fruitful conversations and engagements, especially in online rafts like the ones we currently have built down here.
With how us humans, regardless of social standing, continue to develop our entire civilization, especially with our immediate surroundings, for the past several centuries, the rate at which we are doing so has been slowly speeding up with newfound technologies and measures, a side effect that of which has been slowly replacing the sweet, calming ambience of nature itself with the brutalist, artificial statis of urban life, without much regard to the creatures we are supposed to take care of and equally preserve for generations to come.
Truly, if we do not ever strive and make pushes towards a sort of a humane-ecological balance, alongside tackling greed as a major factor in this critical climate crisis, we might as well see the Earth’s natural resources go “Stand Still, Stay Silent”.

Hey, I know that from OMORI—specifically, the Weeping Willow joke quest.
As @Drusas also noted below, just discovering and enjoying new things, while also finding stories of humane positivity, everything nature and greenery, and listening to trackertunes that are well-crafted and have a strong storyline involved.
For a complete surprise, just the few intro part notes of bo en’s “My Time”.
It would be mostly this song by Filipino band Over October, even though this could also apply to those missing their own parents or siblings for so long:
Into the Light
And including Lualhati Bautista, Fred Rogers, and a few more kindred souls, of which we lost some too soon into their long lives…
Moreso in that blood-crimson, with-large-ominous-hand-constructs purgatory known as RED SPACE, with OMORI’s true form constantly berating their souls for their unspeakable transgressions towards their fellow humans.
And, about time for some listening to this one banger Free Money! rip on Youtube as a sort of ironic celebration.
Something… behind you?
Says that one anguished Basil inside that one triangular ghastly time loop thingy.
And Sweater Month too? How delightfully festive of a side hobby, regardless of climate location.
And by that, he’ll call it his own “Las Nevadas”, but way, way more insidious and manipulative.
Plus, with the right combination of applications (more preferably, a few, and some with no active internet permission at all) and power settings tweaked both for better battery mileage and longer, more focused on-the-go sessions (e.g. editing documents, playing that one dungeon crawler roguelike, and planning important events, etc.) you could count on it more.
May I suggest: Feng Shui (2004) and The Road (2008)? Both come from the Philippines, and are generally considered to be modern local horror classics in here.
To be fair, I haven’t watched both films yet, due to me still being a bit broke in terms of money. Yet, to jestly answer, Something is indeed following both film’s plots, one by one.
@Sweetpeaches69 Thus, the recursive idea of “ideas” themselves, be it good, bad, or somewhere in-between.
I would also like to add that she’s also in the game Sayonara Wild Hearts as the Narrator herself, as a sort of last-minute addition by the developers at Simogo.
