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.

I'm glad I finally got around to playing this after far too many years. Never used to think of myself as a fan of text-heavy games, but I got really into it! I gotta play more ADVs…

I got a boo-boo 🥺

I need more skirts like this one specifically. The fabric and cut have the perfect weight and flow, walking the line between a quiet elegance and playful fun. Which you would never expect just by looking at it still, because it seems like just a plain black skirt (creasing is /not/ that visible IRL)

It's been months since I've gotten to see a psychiatrist… Mine left the clinic, so they gave me the one my fiancé's seeing, which is a COI ofc. I can never get ahold of the sole scheduling person, and I finally ran out of meds after having to cut and do my own taper down, so my brain's just like
