Hey good day, I hope you're doing well?
So I turn 24 today which means I am now officially in my UNC era. I honestly did not think I would still be alive by now but here I am, somehow still kicking it. I didn't even get the usual extreme birthday depression I am usually hit with.
Speaking of depressing things, I have some really bad news. There was a power line fire a few days ago that put my area in a blackout and now that it has been fixed, we found out that some evil bastard who deserves to face unspeakable horrors took advantage of it to steal some copper or something from the transformer thingy In my street.
This means that I will have no access to electricity indefinitely. This shit also happened earlier this year in the place I was previously staying in so you can imagine how much I laughed when I found out that the same thing that caused me to move back to the slums had happened again lol.
Anyways it means that I might not get light for anywhere from 2 weeks to six months so I am officially back in my struggle era and will unfortunately not be able to take any new commissions for a very long time unless you're ok waiting potentially weeks for me to get electricity 🤦🏿♂️
I'm really sorry about this, especially to the two people already signed up for commissions. I'm hoping that it will be fixed soon but if not, I'll have to start sneaking into my former university to get free electricity at night like I used to do during my first year of game dev.
I think that's all for now, thank you very much for your time and I hope you get some well deserved rest this weekend.

Happy Birthday and I hope that at the very least you take pride and joy that you have a talent and trade that people are willing to paid you for it (at least I'm), I know it doesn't to cheerful but I meant it there are people that wish you well, and when you said toy are entering your unc era that probably todays youth think you are a grandpa at 30 😓🌫
Thank you so much for the support! I really appreciate 🥹❤️
The "UNC" thing is funny because I got my first 'real' teaching job earlier this year and most of my students call me "Uncle" as the default title instead of Teacher lol.
And 30 isn't old, I think what actually makes people feel old is more of a personality thing. The nicest people I've known, even well into their 50s, still feel fresh to me. But the ones who treat everything like a personal offense and take their frustrations out on the world around them? Those people feel ancient no matter how young they are on paper.
For example, I know another game dev in his 50s and he's legit one of the coolest people I know, he's fun, nice and honestly a joy to chat with.
He's only like 6 years younger than my dad but he actually feels like a warm human I would want to get a warm parental hug (with head pats lol) from instead of the wrathful, ancient evil, leviathan cosmic horror entities wearing human skins his age I have had to survive around for most of my life 😅
Damn this somehow ended up longer than it was supposed to be but thanks for the support, I really appreciate it 🙇🏿♂️
Happy birthday man.
And sorry that had to happen to you.
Same thing happened to me two months ago and it was hell
Thank you!
And yeah this whole transformer nonsense is one of the worst things that can happen, I once lived in a place where they refused to fix it for almost 2 years because it kept on happening so I am uniquely freaked out by it.
This country is for real after my life, this happened just 7-9 days after I announced that I started doing commissions and managed to get my first 2 after years of finical stagnation. Life just constantly gives me the middle finger anytime there's progress in my line of sight.
Edit
Broooo I just went to pick up my powerbanks that I left to charge with my neighbor and this dude forgot to plug them in so they're all zero percent 😂
That exact thing about the powerbanks happened to me during the national power grid collapse
Happy birthday man!
Aye thanks man, thank you for the support as always!
