Alright, long post coming. I am trying to avoid posting lengthily as I am inclined to, but this is something I must express. Skip my post if you must; I understand how you would not want to listen to the late-night musings of a sad Jigglypuff... however, I do have a normal post at the bottom that might be of interest.
==============
It has just now dawned on me the exact losses the death of my flash drive have incurred.
Not just the fact that I lost my SNES emulator and ROMs and progress in them; not just the fact I can no longer transfer scanned files from my camera to my laptop; not just the fact that I lost several files that were probably important and class-related; no, the true loss is the fact that among those lost files, was the logo of ChronoSquared Industries lost as well.
I would give the rest of my flash drive to have just that one picture back.
It may be simple in design, and you all may laugh at it, but I hold that logo dear to me; a reminder of the dreams I had of making my own video game, perhaps even my own company. But no, dearer than that, is how it is a relic from a time that has been long past; indeed, its creator, RagnarokWolfe, I have not heard word of in nearly four years.
It is not how it reminds me of him that I held it dear; no, we were not that close to begin with; it is how it reminded me of the time, and place, that it came from that made it special. It came from the waning end of a great era of RolePlaying, whose wake buoyed me through troublesome times; often have I reminisced of that past and thought of that sweet nostalgia.
I had then and again given thought to how inaccurately RagnarokWolfe's work had represented my vision, easily coming up with ways it could be improved; and yet, after having it thought lost to the annals of time once before, upon finding it I could only be thankful for the logo as it is. His design I had become rather fond of, and even though it may be edited from its use where it had been incorporated, it would not necessarily be of the same dimensions, and not the same logo as it had once been...

In other news, my SmashWiki entry has been updated, and along with the update I have been reminded to get the double-blind match of Hayate and Aaron uploaded. Which they should be by the time you end up reading this. (you should know by now how to get to my YouTube channel...)
