New nightmare unlocked: Getting stuck in a giant Ferris wheel for 9 hours after it stopped due to getting struck by lightning.
Glad to hear everyone got off safe and sound. @straycatalyst.bsky.social I think this might have been the Ferris Wheel we went on when we were in Osaka?

Took Mon-Wed off to buckle down and review for the upcoming JLPT N3 test on Dec 7. And after studying all day Sat-Mon my brain is smoking already…

Was getting tired of the SRS algo in Anki and just decided to order a nice set of flashcards for JLPT N3 review. Found a complete set that covers N5 to N1. It’s funny how much the N1 box looks the the boss mode of the box.

Finally having some plumbing pros fix a long standing tree root sewage line issue that has plagued us for years. Every ~2 years they would have to come out and hydrocut the sewer line to sweep out the roots that snuck in. Feels awesome to finally get this dealt with for good.

Fun question from my Trivia meetup:
What Olympic Sport could you personally get away with for the longest before anyone noticed you had no idea what you were doing?
- Bobsledding seems like the safe answer
- Downhill Ski Jump and Canoe Slalom seem like physics cover inexperience until catastrophe.

Fun weekend project. Finally got around to putting up sound proofing foam around my desk to cut back on wall reflections when recording audio. Co-worker is recording some narration here tomorrow so it forced me to get the project done lol.

A lot of indie development is working hard on a game with the hope people will enjoy it, so it’s really rewarding seeing people’s responses to the demo. Playing the demo three times is a high compliment!

Not every day I get to make an old-taku "お前はもう死んでいる" meme reference in a code review. And it actually fits for once in the context of the bug! I suspect I might be the only one that gets the reference though and am now feeling old. 😿

Was surprised to see a VirtualBoy here at #prge in a hard plastic case. @straycatalyst.bsky.social helped me find a virtual boy in a previous trip to Osaka, but mine was in a simple cardboard box. Turns out these were rental units for video stores. Had no idea this was a thing!

I had learned for the first yesterday at the Nintendo talk there was an official sowing machine add on for the GameBoy. Imagine my surprise when we came across one at a resale booth today at #PRGE

Testing out some AC Christmas light controllers from HolidayCoro. Finally replacing the homebrew Renard controllers we’ve been using for years as they were start to get a bit squirrelly.
