FAQ
...Maybe not "frequently" asked questions. But still-
Name
Why is your name "Jiuzi"?
Geopelia is the main character in Phigros, a free mobile rhythm game. Her name in Chinese is Jiu (鸠). I took her Chinese name and added 子 (zi, Chinese for "child"), just like how some Japanese female names end with that character (mostly pronounced "ko" in this case). That's how my name came to be.
How tf do I pronounce your name???
You can pronounce in any way you like as long as you don't pronounce like it is a combination for two offensive words related to each other, but I prefer "jyoo-zoo". Last syllable isn't "zee", I know. But I think it just sounds cool
Then what about "Arcedia"?
Any is cool. As for the origin, it's "acedia" combined with "Arcaea". Also a pun of "arcade".
Do you have past names?
I have. Only some people know that.
Idk what to call this section but it's related to tech
What programs do you use?
Krita for drawing, LMMS for music making (even though I actually haven't made music in a while, shh. Also planning to switch to Reaper btw), Neocities for hosting (as well as editing) this hellsite, Proton VPN for VPN, ocenaudio for audio editing, Stacher for downloading music off sites, OBS for recording, Kdenlive for video editing, Firefox for browser, blah blah blah
I love your Krita UI! How did you do that!? (assuming you have seen Krita screenshots of my WIPs before)
There is a file that ends with ".colors" extension when you look inside the "krita" folder (accessed by "%appdata%"). Because Krita is open-source, you can fk around this file as well as others lmao. There's a plugin which lets you edit the theme easier, though. (PC ONLY)
What's the timer used for? (also assuming you've seen my WIP screenshots)
Tracking time in a drawing session.
What are your specs?
Windows 10 for OS (actually modified for whatever reason. I didn't btw), 64bit, AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics for processor, 8GB of RAM, SSD

Your website isn't accessible...
I'm planning to implement accessibility features soon. Had to think about how to do that, though...
Life
How long have you been drawing? How do you draw? Teach me your ways!!!
As stated in my about page, I have been drawing since when I was a toddler. Then I started taking drawing a bit more seriously in 2020.
As for how can I draw, I can tell you how I did! Coming soon... maybe
