I'm not sure if the phrase "that weird time between Christmas and New Years where no one knows what day it is" is referring to having such a bad sleep schedule you don't know the day, but that's me right now. I was awake for 20 hours straight, then went to bed at 8 am, then woke up at dinner time.

Currently the Lava 'N Snow OST is just made from glitching out the FNI OST with save states, so it's a simple way to remix the original soundtrack and have it sound distinct, but this doesn't always make it sound good because of messed up audio. Maybe I'll edit it, or remake it, or leave it as is.

I'm collecting NES emulators like they're chaos emeralds; I have downloaded Nestopia, FCEUX, puNES, Mesen, and RetroArch, all on this one computer. RetroArch has worked for FNI, SnK2, and SK2 (60 Hz). I've been searching for one that works for SK2 (50 Hz) (the one I was running with a 53:15 PB)

Took a while to figure it out, but I now have a reliable way to record and emulate Fire 'N Ice, so I can do as many speedruns and edited videos as I want now! I should still prioritize finishing my fangame for now though, but this is great news. Hooray for retroarch! #fni #speedrun #firenice #snk2
The screen recorders I've tried to use all lag out my NES emulator, so I can't do speedruns without either finding a less laggy emulator / timer, or just continuing to point a camera at the game, which is annoying because of the low quality. This is devastating.

Is it just me or is the time left until the Chromebook is out of battery really inconsistent? I checked three times within a 3 minute window or so, when it was always at 100% battery life, and it went from 3:53 left, to 6:09 left, to 7:28 left.

I've only programmed in 9 levels (in Lava 'N Snow, my Fire 'N Ice (NES) fangame), and yet the code to make these levels show up is already 40% of the codebase. (1480 lines out of 3759 total lines specifically.) When I finish programming the 30 levels that will be in the demo, it'll be like 75%. #lns

Bro this lineup is crazy. A piano cover of viva la vida, followed up by a fanmade deltarune song, and then the actual viva la vida. Out of the 4723 songs I have in my music playlist, it just so happened to sandwich a deltarune song between the same classic Coldplay song that inspired Fallen Kingdom.

Look at this fan art of the umbrella enemy from Fire 'N Ice (NES)! He will appear in 2-10 of my FNI fangame Lava 'N Snow, and the demo including this level will come out in January 2026.

imo if you type something in lowerCamelCase (the best way to capitalize variable names when coding) autocorrect should never step in to separate it out into multiple words. (e.g. gameProgress getting corrected to game progress). I keep having to undo the correction on my coding site dozens of times.

I'm in purgatory since I've made 301 posts which is the silly "Why do YouTube videos get stuck at 301 views" number, but if I post about it, I make it go to 302 posts, so I can never get stuck at 301 posts unless bluesky does to me what YouTube did to the numberphile video and locks me at 301 posts.

Okay since #fni and #sk2 are taken up by other people using the hashtag for non-Fire 'N Ice reasons, and #firenice is used by a bot that keeps posting Speedrun WRs in Fire 'N Ice, we should use #snk2 (short for Solomon no Kagi 2) for FNI posts since it's short and currently unused.

Why can't I make a starter pack on bluesky? It keeps giving me an error like "failed to create starter pack". I want to make a starter pack for fans of Fire 'N Ice on bluesky, since there are like 10 people I can think of and add to the starter pack, but it won't let me. ):

For some reason instead of actually making real progress on my Fire 'N Ice (NES) fangame, Lava 'N Snow, I just keep rearranging the order of the deadlines I need to meet, then slacking off for hours. This deadline used to be January 8th. Now I have a day left to implement 26 levels.

Why does everyone that plays Fire 'N Ice (NES) refer to the blocks that move one tile at a time and don't melt as "black ice"? Both @dijonketchup.bsky.social and @illusorywall.bsky.social have said "black ice", but why would they be ice if they don't have ice physics? To me they're clearly stones.

I spent like 5 hours making the crouching work. This gameplay still isn't final, as I would make it so that the fires fall after you pass under them, so you wouldn't be able to go back and forth like this, I need to fix a bunch of bugs with already existing mechanics, and add many new mechanics.

Here's a new preview of the Lava 'N Snow game! (Little do you know, barely any gameplay was shown because it's all extremely buggy and laggy! Littler do you know, I sped this video up to be 16x faster because the actual laggy ahh frame rate this game goes at is super slow!)

I've spent the last few days making my code a lot more efficient for Lava 'N Snow, so it went from around 15,000 lines of code to only 1,500 lines of code, a tenth of what it was before, with the same amount of content working. Now the lag is a lot less, from 0.1FPS in levels to 1FPS in levels.
