Back again?

Why bother with this blog? It's 2025. No one reads blogs anymore. Well, no one reads anymore let alone a blog. I suppose the death of blogs can be attributed to Twitter/x.com. micro blogging is the way blogging went and now people's attention span is too small to read anything longer anyway. Not everyone, not all the time obviously but most people, most of the time prefer getting the information as quick as possible. I also am guilty of it, no doubt but at least I'm doing something about it.

This blog is a cool time capsule of the stuff I was into. Every time I read an older post, I cringe at myself though. It seems like a different person altogether. But at the same time, feels more true. More honest, more authentic. Will I feel the same about this post? Will I keep posting? Idk but let me get back to why in making this post in the first place.

I want a place on the internet for myself. I don't want to worry about recommendation algorithms, SEOs, CEOs, censorship, discoverability, etc. If you find this, you find this. A message in a bottle thrown into the digital ocean of the internet. I don't want to monetize this, I don't want to refine this. It's just what it is. I do wish someone discovers this blog and enjoys my writing, but I'm content with that someone being me from the future.

OK ok, I keep getting distracted from what I wanted to talk about, which is my journaling. This blog is just an extension of that. Instead of stuff going in my journal like they usually do, I think it would be good to share some of the things I'm thinking about. Some posts will probably be just some of my journal entries as it is. Mainly my movies and games thoughts. I have separate journals for my Criterion Project and Games I've played. It's just where I put down my thoughts. They're not really reviews, but I guess that depends on the definition of a review. 

Just don't expect anything. I will most likely forget about this blog just the way I've forgotten about it in the past. But I want to enjoy it while it lasts. I've set it up so that dualentropy.com brings you here. So that's more incentive to keep writing here. I'm not really gonna advertise this anywhere. If you find it, you find it. I don't want to put any pressure on myself. This is just for fun.

I still have the YouTube channel. I've been uploading on it regularly and have started to get some views. I'm almost at 200 subs and I get 100+ views on a good video. I'm still honing my skills there and eventually I'm sure I'll settle on a style that's right for me. It's more polished than this blog because I have to do editing and stuff. I consider the channel to be more forward facing but also less personal. This blog is more hidden and hard to access which lets me be more comfortable being more personal. Not too personal though. I'm not gonna replace my journal with this blog, but I just wanted a place where I can quickly put out my thoughts without having to worry about packaging it right. Sometimes I just want to put an idea out there and not have to worry about the consequences of it. Not that i have much controversial thoughts that will get me in trouble, but it's more of a comfort thing. 

I have some ideas on what I want to put on here, I'll also have to decide whether I want to put it here or YouTube. Most gaming stuff will probably go on YouTube. Other stuff I know no one cares about will probably go here.

All these plans just for me to forget about it in a week. But that's fine. I'm sure I'll keep coming back till they shut blogger down.
