If you follow my main @da-ta you may have just saw that I mentioned that my da-ta Scratch account turns 9 years old today. On the 30th July 2015 I made da-ta on Scratch, that was the first time I ever used that username ever, I came up with it randomly because I thought it sounded cool. Who knew I’d still be using it and going by it almost 10 years later? da-ta was my first Scratch account, I had used Scratch 1.4 since around 2011 in school until I learnt there was a online community, so I uploaded my first project, a remake of The Sims 4 (which sucks) that I had to retro fit into Scratch 2.0 from 1.4. It’s now got like 70K views (idk why, was not featured or anything lol). For years I swung back and forth between bad games, animations, music, and then eventually I started making bad designs, I stuck with that until 9 years later I am mildly better at design, made more accounts like da-ta2 and Auriali (that’s me!) along the way, made a Discord with now almost 200 people, now do a podcast with 2 other awesome designers who started on Scratch, and a whole lot more. If you told 2015 this is what would’ve happened (and that I’d make an account where I joke about being a girl who is more powerful than the universe itself for no reason) then I wouldn’t have believed you, but here I am. Thank you for all the support, whether it’s on Scratch, on my Discord ta’s hangout, or here on wasteof, I appreciate it!

P.S. Vote for insanity, vote for Auri!
