I had my first encounter with video editing in 2018, which was also the year where I uploaded my first YouTube Video.
Also in this year, I decided to learn how to use After Effects to create those Trap Nation like Audio Visualizers. This somehow got me into making somewhat professional Intros with Cinema 4D and After Effects. You can watch it here!

Also in 2018 someone who I met on a Minecraft Server asked me if I wanted to join his project. Soon after that conversation had I turned into a Co-Owner of a Minecraft Server and had gained some experiences with Linux Servers. I then tried to learn Java so I could help with Minecraft Plug-Ins, well that didn't go as good as planned and so I abandoned coding and focused on other things. Shortly after that, the project died.

I then managed to join another project as a Moderator on a Minecraft Server, InfinityHeroes.de. I left by the end of 2018 because of inactivity and to focus more on school. It was still pretty nice though!

The 11th March 2020, official begin of the Corona Pandemics. Due to Lockdowns and schools being closed, I had enough time to start coding, again. But this time with a goal, my own, free, non pay-to-win Discord Bot!
And with the creation of the Bot Account Darling#2476 on the 12th of August a really big journey began. I watched so many YouTube tutorials to get an idea on how to code a Discord Bot and then I found something perfect for me, Discord.py. Thanks to this Library I managed to build my first real application, and it worked well! The bot quickly reached 20 Servers, but sadly Discord made some big changes by the end of 2020.

2020 was also a big year of designing, I started to create the somewhat "cringy" anime edits, of which some actually kinda blew off. I also started creating stream assets for friends like banners, overlays and so on.

Still locked down, Discord announced some HUGE Api changes. By turning the Message Content Intent (needed to fetch commands, e. g. !help) into a privileged one, they forced Devs to use the new Slash Commands until April 2022. Around eight months left to do something but sadly the maintainer of Discord.py announced to abandon the library.
Now, there were two options, wait until something happens or switch libraries.
I decided to switch to be safe since I wanted to make my Bot "big". But what to use? Around that time Silly (SillySoon) started to code his own bot for fun, but using Node.js (JavaScript). I learned how to use Node and recreated Darling in JavaScript using discord.js.
And on the 9th November I released Darling with Slash Commands.

I also had my first collab in 2021 with Henry (Sniperspyder2550)! (I promise you, we will continue Cryptoreun soon™)
Anyway, 2021 is almost over, I met many people, continued Darling and added some new stuff. I even hit 40 Servers on Christmas!!

Here we are, 2022. I announced some big features like a Dashboard right before New Year's Eve, so I started to learn how to use HTML and CSS. This went quite well, but since then no new update arrived. I was simply yo lazy UNTIL I found my way back to InfinityHeroes:
They were searching for someone who could create a bot that connects their website with their Discord server in order to publish announcements on the website. This was in 2021, however the part in 2022 is more important because I actually maintained the project and so discord-website-bot-js was born. Shortly after that, I was added to their GitHub Team and at that point I finally had my shit together.
I started working on the website of Darling, but not just a website, a website with a Dashboard to manage the Bot!
In June, everything was done, except the homepage which still is not done. I'm kinda ashamed of that fact...
Well, maybe this September or October Darling 2.0 will roll out, who knows.
