what the fuck, luna watched a xmas dog film today in film club and i googled it and it's the 9th film in the air bud franchise... i didn't know this series had such legs

ok i managed to tweak some code from a tutorial and get it to display O as well. now we have P for physical, S for special, and O for status (aka other). this is gonna be hella useful for when i implement the physical / special split, and also build a ton of custom moves into the game as well.

my first Real Change in a romhack. everything else has been just following tutorials or swapping input variables, but putting the P or S (phys or special) in the popup box is the first thing that i had to actually write custom assembly code for

the thing is, I've never even seen anything else with the muppets in it. the christmas carol is my only frame of reference for any of those characters and i have no idea what any of the non-dickens version of those puppets are even like. yet i still love the muppets christmas carol

the dee dee version of a christmas carol from limmys show is my second favourite adaptation of it ever, and the only reason it's not first is because the muppets exist

got the tree up, the babyproofing this year is 'hoping he doesn't pull it over' so we'll see how that goes

every additional baby gate we add to our house turns it into more of a puzzle maze

would love to blame this on the fact that i have a 7 year old kid, but nah

oh my fucking god just walked past a miniscule bischon frisé in a pink knitted dog sweater and her owner confirmed her name is Shadow

The Day Today www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dun...

which show has a sketch where a farmer and his dog are in a helicopter and the farmer passes out and they get a shephard to communicate with the dog and tell it how to land the helicopter

thinking about banjoland

the bible in vampire survivors is such a great weapon. what if a bible protected you from evil. what if you actually had eight of them. what if they orbited you like a tornado and any vampires who get close to you are obliterated via blunt force trauma.

between balatro and vampire survivors i WILL stay sane even if it drives me fucking mental in the process

you know the screaming sounds mario makes when he falls in lava in mario sunshine. imagine that sound clip, pitch shifted to a higher frequency, and played on loop for hours from six different directions around you. this is what it's like to be inside a children's hospital.

sitting in the childrens hospital trying to hold an oxygen mask on jesse's face as he pushes it away because he doesn't understand it's helping him get better. a track from donkey kong country is playing in my headphones and i just know that i will forever associate this track with this exact moment

i have pretty much worn heavy hiking / outdoors focused shoes my whole life, and im used to my stupid shoes weighing a ton for no reason. when i put on a regular pair of shoes i feel like goku taking off his weighted training clothes after being in the hyperbolic time chamber

holy fuck. eternal european pain.

THAT COULD HAVE GONE WAY WORSE! man entei is a weird looking dog, ive never looked at it's faceplate in such detail before. why does his grill look like strong bad's mask

tomorrow is luna's 7th birthday and she asked me to draw her a smiling entei. getting to work on it now

babies love microplastics

tier list of the fast show characters, unlucky alf gotta be S tier

now that i know how to fuck with the pokemon red disassembly its all i want to do. i have like 5 ideas for small gag hacks that i could whip up in an evening and one massive hack that would take me like a year. i WISH I HAD MORE SPARE TIME lmao.

i am thinking of a meme for parents which is a variant of the da_share_z0ne 'if it sucks got da bricks' pic. it's about toddlers who have just learned to walk and now will never stay where you want them. parents would love this. 'lunch time? bath time? nap time? just walk out! you can leave!!!'

thinking about a sequel to FFVIII where nobody gives a fuck about triple triad anymore because balatro exists

going to bulbapedia to read about bulbasaur

(samus shoots the final missile into ridley, forcing him to fly away and recover from his wounds whereupon he can return later on even stronger and more dangerous) her new friend: "uhhhh... so THAT just happened."

after a few evenings of digging around the pokémon red decompilation and learning how to make changes, i have officially created my first ever romhack. this has been the most fun i have had on a creative project in as long as i can remember!

pretty sure its been 2 decades but 'where did vegeta go wrong? he lost a friend' still pops into my head every so often. i dont even remember where it came from

learning romhacking

sister in law bought luna a remote control aeroplane. for its maiden voyage she asked me to control it because nobody was familiar with the controls. anyway now it's here. luna didn't even get a turn.

having a kid open your car door when you're doing 70 down a motorway is a hell of a way to find out that, apparently, the childlock you thought was activated is actually not.

jesus how the f do you beat scylla and the sirens, feels impossible lmao

i really like challenge run videos on youtube but i have a huge dislike for videos with overly frustrated and vitriolic commentary during the challenge... like they choose to play crash bandicoot without ever jumping and then fly into a rage when they get to a wall or staircase lol

is hades 2 much harder then the first game or did i just get worse. the vast majority of my runs aren't making it past hecate and those that do end to random fish mobs in oceanus. i feel like by this point in the first game i had made it to hades himself a few times

house near me has put up their xmas decorations... it's beginning

oh i have such a good idea for a pokémon romhack, actually. this fucking rules, I've not been so excited by a creative idea in as long as i can remember. if i had even a single bit of free time ever i would mess around with disassembly hacking and try make this a reality

i can confidently say that for the last 23 years there has not been a single 24-hoir window where, at some point during the timespan, the soundtrack for the pokémon tcg on gameboy colour did not play within my head, either partially or in its entirety. that music is just there for good man

really enjoying hades 2 so far but i suffer from not having any clue where melinoe is starting from or where shes actually going. what is the actual journey she is trying to make? zagreus began in the depths of the underworld and ascended to the surface, his trajectory was clear. melinoe not so much

LMAO we ordered luna a bigass polly pocket playset as her main birthday present, and it arrived in a box that said 'TOYS: POLLY POCKET RESORT PLAYSET' all over the delivery packaging. anyway guess who actually accepted delivery of that package, and now knows exactly what she's getting.

wheres all the trick o treaters at man, l've had like three kids knock all evening. we have the decorations and pumpkin and all that shite so we're clearly 'opted-in' to halloween. i guess i just got fooled into forgetting that actually halloween is kinda nothing in england and barely anyone does it

happy i bought hades 2 day

had to go and turn this off... back in my LP days i made my vids in 320x240 15fps for a god damned reason, and it's because that's how we did shit in 2008. the culture needs to be preserved, not run through some bullshit filter. i don't give a fuck if it's unwatchable by modern standards lmao

thinking about mew in a little lord fauntleroy outfit

today we learn about popolocrois

favourite minor feature of pokémon emerald is the apprentices you can give advice to in the battle frontier. love to give them the most dogshit advice possible. yeah kid, give your ninetales a moveset with no damaging moves and an x defend as a held item. it's every trainer for themselves out there

at least they are up front about it with the fortune telling npc who straight up just tells you you're going to hell lmao

as someone who is working through emerald's battle frontier i can confidently say that the battle pyramid is easily the worst and least enjoyable fucking thing I've ever had to do in a pokémon game, and i'm someone who (multiple times) has levelled pokémon to lv36 before even battling brock in kanto

today has been an incredibly rough day. jesse just keeps going from illness to illness. they took him away by ambulance in the middle of the night... got him back soon after of course, but fucking rough. unironically a new pannenkoek deep dive video is EXACTLY what my tattered brain needed to unwind

why the fuck does mr bean's car get crushed by a tank. isn't he supposed to be at a school fete? why is there a tank at a school fete ?
