Tremendo Now

What have I been up to lately? (as of 4/25/25)

…Quite a lot, actually!

Current projects

• 💻 This website! Welcome!
• 🦋 Mirrories: A fantasy series based on homebrew TTRPG adventures with friends. Scroll down for more details!
• ⛲ Basin of Solace: A homebrew PF2e campaign. Part of the Mirrories series.

Current goals

• 🗣 Be more vocal. I’m too humble, keeping to myself instead of sharing the things I’ve made, or the progress if I don’t have anything ready to share in full. I want to try and post more actively on places like Bluesky, telling people what I’ve done throughout the day/week, showing sneak peeks of the stuff I’m working on, and writing the occasional shitpost. Beautiful times.
• 📅 Stay productive. Focusing on keeping on task as much as possible.
  • Cutting out frequent time-wasters. The biggest culprit for me is YouTube binges, which I’m killing using Better Youtube Shorts (to turn Shorts into normal videos and kill endless scrolls entirely) and LibRedirect (to toggle YouTube as a whole on and off)
  • Time-tracking and short-term scheduling, using a simple Google Sheet I made and a personal note doc. Though I’ve been really failing to keep up with this lately…
  • …Caffeine helps me focus. Coffee or matcha. Both are nice in their own way. But everything in moderation. I do not want to get addicted.
• 💸 Build income. This can come in several ways:
  • Get a stable job
  • Set up a stable business
  • Recruit students for Smash coaching sessions
  • Win Smash tournaments
• 🎮 Get Better at Smash. I play Smash Ultimate competitively, and am often practicing and working to improve these days.
  • I’ve been getting astronomically better lately, especially thanks to the frequent practice sessions I’ve been having and the feedback and occasional coaching I’ve been getting from friends.
  • Currently, I’m out of commission from being able to compete effectively, as all of my Gamecube controllers are currently malfunctioning. I need to open them up to clean their contacts and remove all the gunk. Barring that, I may need to take them to our local professional and have them modded up to pristine condition. Money’s been tight, though, so I’ll lean on the former before trying the latter.

Mirrories

Since mid-2020 (and even earlier in some rare cases), I’ve been playing tabletop games with friends, creating and experiencing homebrew fantasy stories through games like D&D5e and Pathfinder2e. Over the past several years, our games have grown dramatically within our circle into an expansive series of loosely-interconnected worlds and stories. These stories have inspired so much, from original written prose to musical compositions to illustrations to additional games. I’ve fallen in love with the worlds we’ve created, the characters we’ve breathed to life, and the adventures we’ve all shared together through their eyes, and I want to do everything I can to bring them to life and share these stories with the world.

Right now, I’ve been mostly working on this offline, but soon I want to try and make a little corner of the internet where these stories can live. I’ve been using Obsidian to make a Wiki of sorts, as well as home-pages for all the stories I’m trying to adapt. Down the line, I’d like to find ways to make this story self-sustainable, such as Ko-Fi, merch sales, physical books, or simple ads. The ideal would be to make enough to sustain myself while I continue to write while sharing royalties with everyone who helped bring the story to life. For now, however, I’m just continuing to dream as I continue making steady progress towards bringing these dreams to life.

I’ll be sharing more about these stories soon!
