February 2026: I'm alive


Posted by huck (etc.) on Feb 17, 2026

Hi! A rough update of where I am:

  • I became the head maintainer of the Space Station 14 server I play on most, which means I do a lot of code review and game design direction stuff there. It also means I do a lot of development work myself, but it's mostly "glorified digital slinky" stuff.
  • My current project for that server is that we're rewriting the game starting from a codebase that's more actively regularly maintained than our current upstream (none), with a focus on making everything more stable and all that. Cool!  
  • Mental health wise: Depression has been kicking my ass and I remain unmedicated. The kind where it's impossible to focus on anything but doing the same task for months straight. Hence why I still play SS14, and haven't written any blog posts. Sorry!!
  • I'm looking to set up a service for some friends soon where I just host web software on my hosting server and they give me a little money to use it.
  • I have been getting back into digital illustration lately! I'm mostly fixated on one character, though. I post my art to Fur Affinity @ portholeos. This is not a paid thing I don't take commissions or anything.
