Crazy how this whole time thing works. I put down the social media for a day or two, pop open the website and, surprise, a whole month happened.

Been forcing myself to practice the hobbies I enjoy (rather than just think about them all day), and am pleased to report that the process has borne {unfinished} fruits.

Finished my run of Chapter 5 and can now safely unseal myself from my spoiler-resistant cement box.
Very good game/chapter-thing, much enjoyed.

Got to spend a little time in hospital recently. Fortunately, after a follow up with my doc it seems I've just suffered from standing up too hard, more or less.
Best outcome I could've got, but it seems so silly in contrast to the seriousness of my week.
Still, gift horses and whatnot.

Does an Amazy/Crazee Dayzee get classified under flora or fauna? Florna? Faunra?

Messed up that my Mii is better dressed and has better hair than me.

Not built for storm season.
Would essay-post about it but the poor sleep + adrenaline combo has made it hard to pull out my fancy words.
Mostly just happy tonight was another close scrape instead of a hit. Best wishes to anyone that still has to sit through this weather.

YouTube Music is fun because if ever your history is wiped it'll spend a week pretending it forgot your watch habits and then greet you with a 1:1 recreation of your recommendations pre-wipe.

Spiders are chill, but I wish they'd be more considerate with where they set up shop.
Go to wash my hands and I have to scare the goober out of the drowning pit.

Randomizers are so cool. I love re-contextualizing a game in a way that gives me a deeper understanding and appreciation of its mechanics and design.

The spirit of the gambler is wasted on the casino. Play video games. Speedrun a niche RNG category.
90% of runners give up right before their world record run.

Hey everyone. The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it. They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon. #gamedev

Not been active here for a minute, but came back to celebrate 100%-ing Kirby Air Riders (~4 days ago). Get to play exclusively for the love of the game now (and online ranks ofc).

Had to prematurely bail on a Bat to the Heavens play session 'cause the leccy was getting silly.
Felt like I was on the verge of a breakthrough too. :(

Learned today that Steam replays are out, so I decided to trawl through my history to pull out some fun stats.
Firstly, my number of games played has been decreasing since 2023. However, my number of achievements in those games has increased since 2022. Also, been playing more demos over time.

Holiday decorating has begun (a bit late, but is what it is).
The season has never really been a spiritual thing for me, but I relish the opportunity to put up a bunch of colorful lights and sparkly trinkets. :3

So many cool little games on my wishlist releasing and going on sale and I can't justify buying any of them yet because I've got an absolute dragon's hoard of other cool little games I own but have not yet finished.
Infinite games :), finite time :(.

Expounding on this thread a bit now that I've had some time to sit with it. I think ROM hacking is, effectively, the digital equivalent of the oral tradition. For years humans passed stories around, shared them, changed them, and many of those stories made it to today because of this.
And I'll never quite understand it myself. My *dream* is to one day create something impactful enough that people still want to mess with it long after I'm in the ground. Nintendo has that dozens of times over and they despise it.

Nintendo smacking down Mario Builder 64 with a DMCA is hardly surprising at this point, but it sure is infuriating nonetheless.
The hack still exists elsewhere (for now), but its RHDC page is shuttered.

Laptop has been driving me mad for ages, what with its defective mouse buttons. Luckily, however, I've stumbled upon a touchpad gesture that replicates click and dragging (the main one that never works): single tap, then tap and hold.
Think KDE is responsible for this, so shoutouts to that.
