Also my setup for this is insane, in case you were wondering. I could just put both on the big monitor and rotate it, but this is more delightful to me.
Frank Jr. still eludes me, but I got reallllly close!! But I'm crushing it in the PBs department! New overall high score, and better round times against Texas Mac, Kabuki, and Alice & Ape III!
Holy shit, I need you to see this. I love it so much. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ca...
Having to boot up games to figure out what these eight-character names mean. Just booted up Shining Force 2 and there's a cool rat??? And no one has informed me about him before???
I thought I was going to start doing drawn emotes because I had reached my limits in this Mega-Drive-friendly 28x28 15-color style. Boy, was I wrong.
Really close to breaking into 500 on Asuka Normal… Just had a blocked well issue at the 400 transition, and the lock delay after was getting spicy. At 500, the timings are at their lowest, so it's mostly a straight shot to the finish. Well, until the 1000 twist. Just need to rest and practice more…
So this lil fella got dropped in my lap on Christmas. Now I just need to figure out which of the many A/V I/O boards would work best for my setup…
Finally putting the set of blue and graphite pencils I've had for a while to use, along with the little dotted grid notebook. Practice sketching, practice inking. Gotta try and practice every day, even if just a little bit.
The internet comes back for juuust long enough that you start to get back into working on or watching something, and then it cuts out again. And it's a long enough dropout that things need to be coaxed back into working. Praying they're able to fix it tomorrow.
I don't get folks who don't like writing documentation. You get to make funny little diagrams that someone will see, and it'll make their day a little better. (Sometimes that someone is you.)
dang, I missed this because I was passed out in my hammock listening to the rain... (but in case you're still doing them... 68khe.art/res/img/ref-...)
There's more going on under the hood than it seems*, but I'm really excited to finally have this bit working! Now I need to extract some of the entity's functionality into systems proper, like the animation FPS limiter. (*I accidentally stumbled into making an ECS, and restructuring accordingly)
The bigger, 13-inch CRT is good for gaming, watching streams, or OBS editing previews. The smaller, 5-inch CRT I'm hoping to make my live OBS preview; it needs a better power adapter. Who knows what other uses it will find. The bottom of the stack? A not oft-used but still handy oscilloscope.
I actually played Ring Racers with folks for the first time this evening, and while that game has its issues, it was ultimately a fun time! Also, it's delightful on a CRT with an M30.
Yeah, it's the whole flex connector. It exploded and left the pins behind. I /should/ be able to desolder the old remains and put a new one on, but I'm gonna need an iron actually up to the task…
I'm going to take a stab and say I probably should not play Don Den Lover at the public arcade while kids are around. That assumes I'd be good enough to get whatever prize awaits the winner.
Figured out a way to open up the rain fly more when the weather's nicer. Now I get to enjoy the best alarm clock ever.
