spent way too much time today trying to convince chatbots Pero's last name is Deeznuts

the older I get the more dad energy I get even though I am not a dad and don't want to be a dad, I bought a big digital clock off temu with easy to see numbers and the weather and stuff, and it's not too bright, and I sort of hung it on the wall-ish, and now i want to tell everyone...being old sucks

I was just thinking, if Opa-Opa has a dad named O-Papa, then that means he was born and not constructed, which means he has a mum...which would make her name...uh...lol

I spend too much time trying to remember dreams when really what it comes down to is this: Dreams are just some sparse thoughts in my head where my head has filled in the gaps while in a trance. No real meaning (in my case) except a preference towards a certain thought based on a certain memory.

how do goombas wipe their ass when they poop

I think most people know at least one story about how Donkey Kong got its name (and I can't tell if it's mistranslations or Miyamoto never gives a straight answer), but why the fuck are Toads called that? Did someone mess up translating SMB2U? Was someone high? Toad is a mystery

hey Nintendo here's a new game idea, Metroid Australia: Samus goes to the outback and has to subdue the metroid snakes, which hide in the toilet and bite your bumhole and then you have to get a mate to suck the venom out of your bumhole. Make it happen or you're fired

gonna be streaming later for the first time in a while later, gonna play RV There Yet? with friends, should be a fun time!

IMPORTANT NEWS! forumite @totebug.bsky.social has made a karaoke version of the corporate anthem "Infogrames rocks my world" complete with backup vox. Truly this is entertainment that rocks your world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M93-...

I swear there was a period in the 90s where Disney Interactive was known as Disney Interactive Entertainment so you'd just see DIE at random places in the credits

today I was cursed. first I broke a vacuum cleaner's attachment socket rendering it useless, then I broke a shelf in the fridge (glass but didn't shatter), then I broke the car window (again, glass but didn't shatter, just fell)...I'm not falling for your mind games, fuck you random objects

I use LLMs as ethically as possible, I just torture a chatbot. How many fossil fuels can I burn for less than 5c? And it's sure not stealing art when I ask it questions like "what was Wario's name before he became a Mario", I'm just trying to creatively short circuit its mind y'know?

Wario and Waluigi were just normal guys until they got turned into Marios when they got infected

First release of DOSBox Pure Unleashed, a standalone version of the DOSBox Pure RetroArch core, is here. It offers loading from archives, configuration menus, mouse & keyboard mapping for controllers, save states, screen filters, and other convenient features. schelling.itch.io/dosbox-pure

had this weird dream in the future every human lived in one big endlessly procedurally generated/built city that expanded as needed but always kept small, people became afraid of the outside world, and when they finally went out everything else was giant

if I ever die (shouldn't happen, probably invulnerable) please play something horrifying at my funeral, like the Drakengard OST or the Wombles album, I want people to feel something other than sad even if that is revulsion or dissociating and becoming autismancers

Somehow missed a new release of Dethrace, a reverse-engineered port of Carmageddon, two weeks ago. github.com/dethrace-lab... Right now it doesn't offer any enhancements beyond unlocked framerate, but the game seems to run perfectly fine in software rendered 640x480.

when I see rainbow lorikeets on my window sill chilling and they look up at me and warble I just give the little dudes a thumbs up and they dig it

For some reason I decided to challenge myself to find out what was the building next to my old high school before it became a shopping centre _without_ asking anybody, just to brush up on skills. I found old sat photos which gave me a decent start. (1964/75/76/86) I think I finally got an answer!

Retro gaming - derusting my platform game skills! Does age make you worse? Let's find out! (probably no movies tonight) www.twitch.tv/gurtygurt

Mostly recovered now. I'll try and stream tonight (maybe retro?) but given all the construction next door starting at 6:30am lately I'm very tired...

no stream again today, still sick, but getting better so I won't say no stream tomorrow _yet_.

I've been very sick for the last 10 days or so, probably flu (feeling too hot/cold, aches, nonstop coughing, occasional vomiting, heavy brain fog) so it's been hard to write anything and I must be getting better because I feel lucid (or daft) enough to write this finally, but yeah, soz for quiet.

No stream this week - I started to get bad flu symptoms (nausea and hot/cold flushes) during last Friday's stream and it's worse than that now.
