With the first quarter of 2023 over it is time to look at what has changed, both big and small. As the user base of my projects has grown over time, I've realized that it is unfeasible to ask every user to keep themselves updated all the time. I've taken the liberty of adopting Dolphin's Progress Report format, which is a text version of what other projects use video announcements for. Just my kind of thing! I will try to keep these Progress Reports happening regularly, probably once per quarter as I work alone on things. If I ever end...
It's been a while since the last visible change to the Website, almost exactly two years now. In 2019, I switched the theme back to a more lightweight version with the old 2016 CSS override applied, but eventually that was no longer enough. Over time, WordPress's updates spiralled out of my control, changing how WordPress worked - and at the same time also drastically increasing processing time required.

Due to the new GPU generations being released by the two major vendors (and soon three major vendors), I've currently put the project on indefinite hold.

Due to an excessive amount of channels required for StreamFX, I've decided to split it off into its own Discord server. You can join it using this link, and enjoy all the new features in it. Make sure to read the rules and select your roles according to what you want to do! The Server features dedicated roles for each category of tasks, in order to better help users do things. Each role also has a dedicated releases channel for their own content in order to spread the content to other creators that are less skilled at the task. You...
