Yokohama, Japan Collects old games/PCs! Poly/Trans/Lesbian/Kinky/AuDHD/BPD(?)/Plural, just trying to survive and kick (my own) ass. Intense Sailor Moon fangirl! Harajuku fashionista. I'm 40+, MDNI Discord: michellybells
Today I'm gonna have a bunch of free time at work and no internet, so I brought some old fashioned fun to try out! (I can claim I'm testing them for use in the classroom, hehe!)
So THIS just happened. We've been on McBitch watch so long, I just assumed...
Well THIS turned out terrifying. (TW: Description of violence/SA)
Hmmm, not sure which one I like best! I'm leaning towards the front on one, gives me room to add the game's title. Thoughts?
It's time to make some weird art!!! Let's start with EDIBLE FAKE BLOOOOOOD, MFER'S!!! (unless you have a peanut allergy, then you should run.) #ToxicYuriVNJam
The start of one of the more challenging scenes to write... #ToxicYuriVNJam
3rd goddamned pack I opened of the new set... lmaaaoooo, the cheek of giving a trans girl this card right the fuck away, lol... not complaining!
Hellllll yeah! I'm so glad to finally be writing Ivan's dialogue in Infinite Life! It's going to be fun, because it's a totally different style than the other characters so far. Also the script is at 12,000 words! Whoooo! #ToxicYuriVNJam
HOOOLY SHIT! Sooooooo, apparently when I was in college, I took THIS quiz, and for some reason that I DO NOT KNOW, I uhhh... answered like this, lmao. Good on the teacher for playing along, though! (Seriously, whyyyyy did I do this? Which me had the balls to write this shit??? I wasn't even high!)
This is it! The arcade that I named after Burger Becky. "Burger Becky's Barcade" haha. A nice establishment, get a VR beer and play a VR arcade game!
Ok, I couldn't help but infodump a bit about Burger Becky in this game. I never met her IRL, but she's still a hero to me. I'm so sad I'll never get the chance. I'm not even sure this is the right place to memorialize her? But I guess a queer game about understanding dysphoria through VR is fitting.
Here's some progress on #InfiniteLife for #ToxicYuriVNJam and I'm loving what we have! d(These aren't the correct BGs or sprites for this particular scene, just placeholdering for right now.)
I didn't really expect how mentally painful writing about this stuff would be. It's certainly a learning experience. Well that and pushing past the AuDHD shit.
I got way too dressed up to go to the conbini. Also I hope you like flabby thighs. Because thighs.
I wonder what Dir en grey meant by "楓〜if trans・・・" ??? (楓 "kaede" means "maple")
OK! It's all done, and it looks and runs fantastic! This is a ¥300 Super Famicom that now is good as new! At some point I may do some replacement shell for it, but for now it's just a solid, reliable, yellowed Super Famicom!
Ok, new caps on! Let's see how well it works.
Well, I got the board cleaned up pretty decently! Now it's time to get some caps on there! I checked the big 1000uF cap and it's good, so it's just the small surface mount ones, they were pretty leaky! I got a pretty good amount of the corrosion off, thankfully.
Moved on to PC-98 repair stuff! May need a re-cap, I'm afraid. "Divide by 0 error" isn't great. Also can't get it to load floppies with known good drives.
¥300 Super Famicom, I can see why! Looks like someone spilled something inside. But that's ok, I can get this fixed! I have a parts machine anyway.
Oooh, I managed to get the CRT into 320x240 progressive scan! Text is a good bit cleaner without all that interlacing flicker. Granted, most people will be playing this on modern PCs ofc! But I do wanna recommend people use some CRT filters or something.
This is the kind of game that #Polyanimus is. I think it's gonna fit the #ToxicYuriVNJam theme pretty well! (Ignore the jankiness of the text and nametags, it's mostly scene summaries used as placeholders for scene blocking while the script is being written)
I installed hooks in two different rooms in my apartment, so that I could put chain on them and walk anywhere in the whole space on a leash~ I have looooots of chain :3 (The landlord will just have to deal with it, lol.)
Holy wow, I ACTUALLY did it! Really didn't expect I'd be able to keep something like this going so long. ADHD can SUCK IT!
Best photo I could find, it used to be better than this, lol. Also bonus, shork testing a new chain hook I installed~
For #WorldCup Japan's McDonald's has the "Mexican Tacos Cheese Chicken Muffin" and It's pretty decent! The taco meat is a bit spicy, which is rare for Japan. The cheese sauce isn't overwhelming, and adds nicely. They have a regular chicken sandwich version too, haven't tried it.
Here's one of our early test images from #Polyanimus, made in 320x240 on a CRT TV! We've since done some work on the font alignment and such, and we have a ton of background images ready to go! I'm plugging away at this #ToxicYuriVNJam script, starting with scene breakdowns, and soon dialog!
