Hello, welcome to my site! I'm Jordan (duh). sophiebites.me has gone through a few iterations now, with this being the third or so version. I have had a hard time maintaining interest in keeping a site running, so I figured that a collection of blog entries/interest points was a good idea for restarting the site!

On the left, you'll be able to access my about page, with some random info about yours truly. There's also separate blog pages for two of my beloved games, Sonic Adventure 2's Chao Garden and the space sim Noctis IV+. The redesign of this site is still very much under construction. Links may be broken or take you to outdated pages. However, please feel free to peruse around to your hearts content, and don't forget to sign the guestbook before you go!

Lachrymose has been uploaded!

The thought of finally finding life was exhilarating. Space is lonely. Supposedly us Stardrifters are solitary people, but I don’t feel solitary; I feel alone. Cut off, if you will.

Back to the task at hand – after arriving at the large, cloudy planet, my first task was to name it. Lachrymose felt fitting for my mood as I orbited. Here are some quick facts:

Rotation period – 000:234:360 triads // Revolution period – 027:039:194 triads // Radius – 0.0304 centidyams

Just from observing it, you could see a very thick atmosphere, fully covered by clouds. Clouds! Every planet has been such an absolute DRAG, so seeing something reminiscent of home for once has definitely put me in a better mood.

At last, I have restarted my Chao Garden. I love the Chao Garden more than anything, and I’ve loved it since I was a kid. A year or so ago, I had a huge garden run on Dolphin Emulator, but it became a bit hectic to manage and I stopped keeping up with it.

Now that I have my site up and running again, I thought it would be fun to document a new garden! This one is going to be run on the Steam version of Sonic Adventure 2. It has a ton of mods installed, namely Chao World Extended among others.

These are some screenshots from my original Chao Garden on my Dolphin save.
