tl;dr: I want to start and finish something every week or so. This blog was my first project and is how I’ll try to organize my future ones.

I’m Slim, I was born in 1995.

I’m a video-editor and motion-designer (I also stream on Twitch). I love playing video-games, thanks to my family I was introduced very early to the Super-Nintendo and home computers. I always wanted to make my own games because of that.

I had various simple blogs, Youtube channels and podcasts. But only recently decided to start studying the Unity engine, Godot, Unreal and other game making platforms to make my own video-games. That’s how I found out I needed, and wanted, to learn how to code. Not only needed to understand coding better to create my games, but that became the part that I most care about.

The game making tutorials made me realize that making a video-game is the same thing as building a toy, and the code is how the different pretty pieces combine together in a playable way.

Making an ugly and boring toy is easy, but to make a toy that has pretty pieces and is fun to play with is where the magic is for me. And that is how I started learning C#-script for Unity on begginer tutorials, that reintroduced me to programming, after having stuied JS when I was younger.

As I got more comfortable with how code works, I installed Linux-Mint on the notebook I code and study with. That opened even more doors… Learning better how the operating system works, how to use it in the ways I need, this website being an example, and got me interested in Open-Source software, ethical-hacking and Python language.

There are a lot of big and small projects and prototypes that I want to try and finish. It’s very hard to keep studying, working and finish personal projects at the same time. This blog exists to share and organize fun nerdy stuff that results along the way.

The objective is to start and finish a new small project every week or so, using only free and (if possible) Open-Source stuff, and to share the progress and results here. Anything fun to make or study on a computer counts! Like code a simple program, make video-games, create 2D art, 3D modeling, creating AI prompts, music projects, wallpapers… Basically any type of digital art.

So we could consider this website as my first official project made from scratch (kinda). Even using so called “Themes” in Hugo, It was not a small project for me and it didn’t result in anything to write home about, but it was worth it. As it is the base for upcoming projects.

I hope something along the way will be useful, inspiring or fun to you.
