State Of The Blog – February 2025

Hello there.

Well, here we are. The first formal State Of The Blog of the year 2025… hope the year’s been treating you well so far. I wish I could say the same, but… anyway, we’ve got some updates on hand. Not the least of which is a potential idea for a video review month that hopefully goes off without a hitch, but will probably be hitched sooner or later. I don’t want to weigh you folks down with my health and personal woes because I try to keep that out of this thing that’s supposed to be fun and lighthearted, but the fact that these things have hindered progress so far in terms of new content has confirmed that… yeah, we’re in for another bumpy start.

Regardless, I’m slightly more optimistic this time around. I won’t do anything silly like lay out schedules of things that may or may not be followed, but I will use this space to bring up some behind the scene changes and additions that are long overdue.

State Of The Blog – November 2024

What was supposed to be following an entirely cromulent October-wide marathon turned out to be a month curtailed by illness, disease, and family emergencies galore. I suppose I should happy that three out of five weeks ain’t bad. Will do better next year… maybe.

There’s a lot of things that I’d like to do better next year, but I’ll save that for the next State Of The Blog, which I hope will be more timelier than this one has been. Sadly, things behind the scenes haven’t been too cozy and I haven’t had as much time keeping up with things around here. Hence the general lack of quality control (posts with wrong video embeds or descriptors, incomplete posts published out of nowhere, etc.).

I wouldn’t expect much out of this month. The usual batch of video reviews and PPV musings… maybe a comic review or two, but I’m most focusing on getting this last batch of stuff out of the way so that I can focus on material for next year… which I hope will run more smoothly. For the moment, I just want something a little more stable and manageable for the closing months of 2024,  which is all I could ever ask for… or at least, scratch off the “Would Be Nice” list.

This is the part where I would segue into a brief touch on the need for stability down south, but there’s already a Bite commentary that covers my feelings just fine… and then I recorded about fifteen minutes of audio for the next DTM-Cast to talk about this further. Fortunately, it’ll be the first fifteen minutes of the show that you can easily skip if you just want to hear the fun stuff.

In any event, click the break for the planned but subject to change schedule of videos and PPV musings. Anything else that pops up along the way for the next six weeks is considered a bonus.

State Of The Blog – October 2024

Another month in the can, another state of the blog to kick things off… for real, this time. And with some genuine, honest-to-goodness updates and schedules set in actual stone and stuff… with some fun stuff to look forward to (for once…)

Anyway, more details after the break for those who care…

State Of The Blog – August 2024

Another month in the can… hopefully things will be looking up rather than down. I know an incomplete version went up for a bit and, well, it was incomplete for a reason. I wanted to hold off on a State Of The Blog until I knew where things would be going moving and now that things around the abode have “somewhat” returned to normal, I have an idea on where things will be going moving forward… at least, for this month.

That said, next month’s State Of The Blog update will have a more concise plan for the remainder of 2024 and possibly even the first couple weeks of 2025.

State Of The Blog – July 2024

Posting this a day in advance because the planned video for today has been postponed… story of my life, I guess. However, things should progress normally afterwards.

Last month had some difficulties on the real world side of things that forced some reshuffling on the fake world side of things, but seems like we’ll be somewhat on track for this month.

More details after the break…

State Of The Blog – June 2024

Hello… and welcome to the new dtm666.com… officially speaking, that is.

Well, today was supposed to be the “official” launch of the new dtm666.com, but then I decided to give it a “soft launch” of sorts while stuff in the background continues to get worked on. To make a long story short, some stuff is working, some stuff is being worked on, and some stuff is shelved until it’s eventually worked on. This stuff is going to take time, but the hope is that by the end of the year, everything that was on the old Blogger page will be on the new WordPress site and we can all move on with our lives.

With that in mind, the focus is going to be more on videos and background work this month. I might not even do a DTM-Cast episode this month (and really, I haven’t been feeling it as of late with some personal stuff… oh yes, that old chestnut rear its ugly, unfortunate head.) To sort of make up for it, I whipped up a couple videos where I played through old Mega Man Maker levels (and these even have commentary and other things). I’ll be doing a couple of these every so often and they’ll alternate with the Sunday Gimmick Tables, which will make a comeback for a short time.

State Of The Blog – May 2024

Hello and welcome to the new dtm666.com.

And, well, yes… it’s not yet ready. I probably jumped the gun in making the move now rather than wait until the previously announced June 1st launch date. Which is probably why the old blog is still available for anyone who wants to go through the archives and check out some of the old stuff while it’s still up there and while we’re in the process of transferring everything over to the new blog and making sure it looks nice and pretty… and also making sure everything works the way it’s supposed. That last part is often the one that gets ya.
