Tonight, I really need at least a headshot and also have some other slots available on Ko-fi, to take care of something immediate I can’t delay on. 🙏🏻

I'll just warn you now, I still don't know how to make an emote.

Working on doodles and drawings and sort-of-rewatching Metal Gear Solid 4 Was a Mistake for a couple hours

At the start of Phantasy Star III, the protagonist, a prince, is thrown into the dungeon to "cool off" after his fiancée is kidnapped.
If you buy an item that lets you escape dungeons in advance you can warp out and talk to the king who tells you it was a clever move, but you have to reset the game.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Instead of doing the elf at the funny angle everyone's doing that I'm bad at, I did a slightly different funny angle that I'm bad at

I lack the skills for it, but I gotta believe others will be able to pick up the pieces of SAMMI and make something better in time.
It's been my tool kit and playground for a long time. As much as I've optimized and refined and compacted things, I'm nowhere close to the heights others have reached.

If you're so confident AI is the future and is going to improve everything, have your toy theftbot write a new program instead of ruining the hard work and dedication people put into an existing one

I was gonna leave this as just a blog that was sent out via RSS but the front page of Retro Achievements put up a Retro Roulette this morning, which gives me the impression that they're just going to move right along like nothing happened, so

Here's the Retro Awardments for Blue Stinger I was working on.

I can't support them platforming hate and trying to non-committal "both sides" backstep.

My Retro Achievements claim was dropped despite being told it wouldn't do that in review so I'm done with 'em.
