    End of Year Reflections

    By Sphinx-Ara,


    Reflections
    As the new year approaches, I thought it would be nice idea to put down the things that I have learned over the year and what I am thankful for.
    First of all, I have learned to be a bit more patient and also a bit more tolerant. I have also learned how to stay calm during stressful and anxiety causing situations,and not to jump the gun and immediately react.
    As for what I am thankful for.. I will forever and always be thankful for the love and support I always get from my family, My childhood and teenage years were very rough on all of us, given that I wasn't diagnosed with Autism until a month or two before I turend 18, but despite the times I caused them trouble, the stood by me. They have also stood by me and they accept and support me during my homelessness and my transitioning from male to female.
    I am also very thankful for my special somepony @Dynamo Pad! We've been together a month and a half now, and we've been best friends since 2016! I love you so much my special snugglepony!
    Also this is our song!
     
    I am also thankful for all of my friends, especially those who I consider close friends, @Princess Silky, you are like a sister to me and I will always cherish the special bond that we share and the love,kindness and support you've shown me through the year and a bit that we've known each other for. This song is for you

    @Hugs Silkalot I don't know you all too well, but from what I do know, you're a sweet, kind and awesome guy and I amvery happy for you and @Princess Silky!
     

    And now for my two awesome fellow Aussie brothers! @TheRockARooster and @CrimsonMane
    You two are like brothers to me in a way, as we are all from Australia and I've known the two of you the longest!

    And everyone else! I have not excluded you, as I am thankful for and love all of my friends! I hope that the new year brings many days of joy and happiness for all of you!

    Layers of Fear Review

    By Sphinx-Ara,


    Game Reviews
    I played through the entirety of the first Layers of Fear game, and I have to say, I love it! The immersive story, the atmosphere, everything. Yes it is essentially a walking simulator, but it's story and atmosphere make it so that it isn't boring. There are things to collect that adds to the story, and depending on what you collect and how much, you could get 1 of 3 different endings, even the default ending is a loop ending, where it gives you the chance to play again and get a different ending.
    The story of a tortured artist trapped inside his old home, having to complete his magnum opus in order to get out is amazing! 
    I won't post much more on it, as it is best you experience it for yourself, but here's the blurb from the Steam store page:

    You take another drink as the canvas looms in front of you. A light flickers dimly in the corner. You’ve created countless pieces of art, but never anything like…this. Why haven’t you done this before? It seems so obvious in retrospect. Your friends, critics, business partners—soon, they’ll all see. But something’s still missing…

    You look up, startled. That melody… Was that a piano? It sounded just like her… But, no—that would be impossible. She’s gone. They’re all gone.
    Have to focus. How long has it taken to get to this point? Too long, but it doesn’t matter. There will be no more distractions. It’s almost finished. You can feel it. Your creation. Your Magnum Opus.

    Dare you help paint a true Masterpiece of Fear? Layers of Fear is a first-person psychedelic horror game with a heavy focus on story and exploration. Delve deep into the mind of an insane painter and discover the secret of his madness, as you walk through a vast and constantly changing Victorian-era mansion. Uncover the visions, fears and horrors that entwine the painter and finish the masterpiece he has strived so long to create.

    And we'll end Part 1 with "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace

    Apology (I guess)

    By Sphinx-Ara,

    So not many of you will know this, but for the past month and a half (I think) I had been on only half my dosage for my anti-depressants, and while at first it felt great, I have found myself getting more and more agitated with not only my cat, but with my friends as well, and as such have come to decision I need to be on my full dosage, and if I have upset any of you, I truly am sorry.

    Billabong Zoo Trip

    By Sphinx-Ara,

    So my Real Life partner and I went to the zoo where I live today, and I got to see one of my favorite animals, the Snow Leopard. Here is a album of photos for my trip:

    So, I pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077, i started playing it on the 10th when it came out, and have 10 hours under my belt. How-ever, Other than the fact that I just couldn't get into the story of it, and the fact that while most enemies are okay to kill, a lot of enemies, that aren't even bosses or minibosses are complete bullet sponges (even on easy). The major fact that I am getting a refund for it, is that the bright flashing lights and all the noise triggers my anxiety really badly. It has Epilepsy warnings, but nothing about anxiety, but that's more a me issue than anything else.
    So, if you have the same problem as i do (bright flashing lights and lots of noise triggers bad anxiety), then it might be wise not to play it.

    Well hello there folks of Equestria. My name is "Phoenix" Carmine Strider (I'll get to the meaning of my name in a moment). I am a 29 year old femboy-ish winged wolf from the darkest part of the forest. (will once again will get to that in a moment). I am essentially a tulpa that my host allows to front most of the time (He/they do not really like fronting using the body he/they have, so you'll be hearing from me a lot more than him/them).
     
    Now that the basic stuff of the introductions are over, here's a few things about me:
    -|- I enjoy a wide range of music ranging from Dance/Pop, Metal (Fantasy, Power, Dark/Gothic, Speed), Rock, Ska, Punk and even fan music (Forest Rain, JT Machinima, TryhardNinja) and Vocaloid just to name a few.
    -|- I love and I mean LOVE to roleplay (but nothing too sexual, I like a good story to my rolepleays)
    -|- I am a bit of an anarchist
    -|- I am a mixture of eclectic pagan, wiccan and Levayan Satanist
    -|- I am in an open relationship (but that does not make me a slut, nor will I just date/sleep with anyone)
    -|- Technically I am panromantic and I am in between deciding whether I am asexual, bi or gay..
     
    And now for the final parts...
     
    I said earlier I would explain my name. Well first things first, you can plainly see that I am a winged wolf, which is part of where my nickname "Phoenix" comes from, but it mostly comes from that I arise with a new life from the ashes of tragedy (my host's past mostly). Carmine means song, so it makes sense to have Phoenix in the front which so it's something like this: Phoenix Song Strider. if you were to go by my nickname and the meaning of my birth name. As for Strider...well it is just my surname.
     
    And as for where I come from...it's basically I don't like the way society is going these days, so I kind of just stick to the darkness and serenity of the forest, occasionally venturing out when needed or to hang out with the few friends that I have.
