I do not recommend cold turkey-ing an anti-psychotic med. I feel the sickest I have ever felt from the withdrawl.

I should be working, but i am so far in the weeds on production investigations that I am going to get chicken wings and watch Twitch!

Before my bipolar diagnosis and before I quit drinking at least life wasn't boring. I never had a problem with me, its everyone else that had the damn problem!

Sometimes you just have to keep putting 1 foot in front of the other because if you stop you might not get back up.

I'm tired...

A dude who I failed in my Advanced Data Structures class for cheating 20 years ago just applied for a job at my company! 🤣

This was the first grown up anime a friend showed me in college. I was scarred.

i wish I had the confidence my mom has about her cooking, lol. 🤮

Weird day...my reoccurring agent of change has reappeared. I honestly thought she wouldnt be back after my psychotic break/bipolar diagnosis. I don't really believe in fate, but its hard to ignore that our lives are intertwined by something.

We need a new anchor being. Ours has clearly died and the this universe is unravelling.

i took the last two days off to move my daughter into her dorm and am dreading going back to work tomorrow because I have to hunt down another fucking bug I didn't write!!

I am not talking in a romantic sense, but there is a person who randomly reappears in my life roughly every 10 years. No contact for a decade and then we end up on same Rollercoaster at a state fair. We connect for a few months and the trajectory of both our lives changes and the poof they are gone.

New kitten is shit at Diablo IV!

Never forget...furries run the internet!

Working on RetroSpy has taught me one real lesson. Two people can read the same spec document and create two completely different products.

Make post about owning everything 8bitDo makes. 1 day later...get bug report that a NEW GOD DAMN 8bitDo controller doesn't work with RetroSpy. Orders another god damn 8bitDo controller, lol.

Well I found the VCR I had lost in my house, now I just need to find the controller, lol.

So in the process of organizing and cleaning i have completely lost a high end JVC VCR that went with my video toaster machine and a brand new PS5 controller still in the box. No freaking clue we're either of them went.

Some years ago I bought a modded Game Gear. Nicer screen and VGA out. It works last time I used it. Pulled it out today and it and the screen and sound was flakey. Open it up...dear god I don't remember who did the mod but it was done fucking terrible. Its a fucking mess in there.

I have been cleaning and organizing the RetroSpy workshop all day. I have to keep telling my family that its going to get way worse before it gets better, lol. The shop is a WRECK right now.

I wish I was exaggerating, but I am pretty convinced I own everything 8bitDo and Raphnet have ever released!!! I wonder how many different raphnet adapter I could chain together at once, lol.

I am about half way through my "loose" controller collection as I am reorganizing and with duplicates I am up to about 300 different controllers, lol. The ones I have the most duplicates of are NES, SNES, ColecoVision and apparently cheap knockoff wired Xbox 360 controllers.

White boxes are the keyboards in my collection for which I don't have an OEM box.

For once the new engineer is not trying to sleep on my keyboard, lol.

I swear to god Facebook recruiters do not take a fucking hint. I have literally told them I would go to hell before I go to Facebook and they just keep pinging me!!!

my day: ...wants to merge 79 commits into...

I don't actually hold much ill will towards the company that laid me off, but a part of me really wants their strategy of betting the farm on AI to fail miserably.

Been dealing with old video standards and came across this. For those who are too young to remember... CGA = Crap Graphic Adaptor = no porn EGA = Extra Graphic Adaptor = some porn VGA = Very Graphic Adaptor = loads of porn Although I am sure there was very badly drawn CGA porn, lol.

HUGE day for the Sega #Dreamcast homebrew community! The next release of DreamSDK, our all-inclusive, powerful, user-friendly, bleeding-edge ready-to-go DC development environment for Windows is finally getting a MASSIVE update! #retrogaming #gamedev #indiegame

Every port has a max number of insertions, its just that most sane people never it it. I have worn out sooooo many controller ports. This is definitely a ME problem, lol.

I have zero doubt in my mind that time didn't exist before I started working on this Gamecube RetroSpy fix. Full PIO, so hopefully the glitchy-ness some people encounter will finally be resolved.

Programming RP2040 PIO is a basically like trying to build a car with a wiffle ball bat.

I have come to the conclusion that the code around starting and stopping RP2040 PIO state machines is just broken. It doesn't work as the documentation says it should. I am happy to be proven wrong, but right now the documentation is garbage.

zoggins, why is your wife always mad at you? Well I just bought a 500 dollar software defined radio to stream videos to my PSP and DS!

New mission, probably not legal, obtain a 1seg modulator and encoder!

How organizing goes in my house. I organize everything. I collect a shit ton of new things. My wife loses her mind because of my chaos. She puts up new shelves for all my stuff. Rinse repeat for 20+ years.

I understand why it works how it does, but a system that requires using more disk space in order delete data raises red flags to me. If you let it hit 99% disk space you are fucked. This is purely a hypothetical situation....on an unrelated note work has really sucked for about a week now.

How do I know magic exists? I have a magic pile of USB cables. If I need a USB C cable the pile is all Micro USB cables, however if I need a Micro USB cable they are all USB C cables. I cannot explain this phenomenon without the existence of magic!

I have spent the last 2 weeks at work working on the types of problems that have no good solutions. They only having varying degrees of bad solutions and you have to constantly be weighing the pros and cons of your code. Its exhausting.

Got some Buldak ramen at the store because everyone was going on and on about how spicy it is. My review is that it is definitely spicy and delicious, but I don't think it will "blow out my asshole" as someone put it so eloquently. I have always had a very high spice tolerance, lol.

I spent all afternoon trying to figure out wtf a 4FDC floppy controller wouldn't boot anything double sided disks. Were you aware that 21-14=7 and not 6....i soldered a jumper wire to the wrong fucking pin!!

I am back onto normalizing the gender neutral greeting "hey fuckers"

to sum up my day. The whole design falls apart unless I figure out how to fit 3 32-bit numbers (96 bits total) into 64 bits of space. FML

My kids know I only have 2 rules! 1. No free feet on the Internet 2. If mom isn't hassling me, do whatever you want.

If only there was an organization that promised to fight against government tyranny in the US...

I swear it often seems like they never had families. A spouse and kids will suck the life out of you, lol.

I have managed to keep my costs increases relatively low, but the tariffs are still a fucking pain in the ass!

I learned that GBA, PSP and DS all had TV tuners in Japan. I therefore must own them!

Parts ordered to build a PBX and dialup server in my house!! My modems will ride again!!
