Happy Holidays Everyone!

Happy Holidays!

It’s that time of the year again and I’d like to thank everyone who has been enjoying our releases throughout 2024. Whether you were supporting us through donations or not, we wouldn’t have made it this far without everyone’s help and we hope that things will continue to move forward in a more positive direction in the new year.

The Elephant In The Room:

Before I get into the festivities, I’d like to address the massive elephant in the room that’s been plaguing us for over a year now. Namely, the server costs per month. We have explored looking into more affordable options with backblaze which allows us to scale our storage, and we would only have to pay $100/month instead of $250/month with our current usage cycles.

Unfortunately, the main issue with transitioning to backblaze and this has been the case for a long time now, is that I lack the required privileges to transfer everything from the current server to the new configuration. Zeust has always been the main head of the back end for the site and due to their life being extremely busy, I can’t guarantee when we’ll be able to make the leap. I’m also not experienced with running the back end of sites since that’s outside of my realm of expertise which is another issue altogether.

Rest assured, once I can confirm everything with Zeust and we begin to transition everything over, I’ll let everyone know about the good news. For now, I can only apologize and thank everyone who has continued to help keep the site afloat after we were on the verge of running out of funds to pay for the server nearly a year ago.

Let The Festivities Begin!

Besides creating a custom snowflake animation, I’ve hidden four Easter eggs throughout the post for users who want to have a little fun over the holidays. The first hint will be given for free, but the others will need to be uncovered by solving the hints to obtain the rest of the rewards. All rewards will be sfw since I don't want to hear about how everyone solved the hints as someone else walked by and saw something they shouldn't xD

Hints (answers are one word or together with no spaces):

Hint 2: I've spent a thousand years collecting grimoires and even defeated a demon lord. Despite how many fakes I find about my Master who goes by the name Great Sage Flamme, I've found a new purpose in life with my apprentice and vanguard. Who am I?

Hint 3: I've spent nearly all my life hunting down and killing more goblins than anyone around me. Even when people ridicule about my silver rank in the adventurer's guild, I heed them no attention and continue to slay goblins without rest. Who am I?

Hint 4: The japanese word for sky.
