The Death Of The Toralko.com Project

As I sit here hunched over my notepad to draft this blog post, I tell myself I stopped doing “this” a long time ago. “This” being announcing things to the world about my personal projects that nobody cares about, because nobody knows they exist.

He asked if I wasn’t watching the Xbox Anniversary stream? That’s when I realized I forgot that was happening …
