More CLDC. Maybe 11 CLDC: www.twitch.tv/patcdr

This is one of the worst designed notifs I've seen on Youtube: 1. Manage your Settings doesn't go to Settings. Instead, it links to a support page glazing the feature. 2. There's no link to disable it, just a breadcrumb trail for Settings. 3. I'd already disabled it.

8/37 CLDCs done. More now: www.twitch.tv/patcdr

Bad idea: A film adaptation of The Westing Game starting Kanye.

As a gag, the last seven Youtube videos I've released are (nominally) food based. Was pretty pleased with that.

@archive.org remains unbeaten for finding half remembered media from the pre-2000s internet. Google and AI couldn't find shit.

Played some mini masters. Lost the game, but won the cabbages

On my way to PAX Unplugged. Ain't been to Philly in a year.

You can go pretty low.

Digital Pinball: Necronomicon is far more fun than it has any right to be. Also, I'd love to know how they got a dude from Dream Theater to do the music. Anyway, got the final mode on the Dreamlands table. Six ball multiball. Quite fun.

Now it says "about 18 hours", but it's been going for 20 hours already with no change to the estimate. But by my math, it looks like it'll take around 56 hours. So...it's a good thing I don't have to baby sit it.

Youtube's auto thumbnail generator usually kinda sucks, but sometimes it does alright.

A not exactly Halloween, but definitely spooky, song for today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ewK... Happy Halloween!

Bad idea for a documentary: track down as many of the winners of the Megaman Boss character contests as you can. Interview them about their childhood drawing techniques. megaman.fandom.com/wiki/Boss_ch...

Made some cookies yesterday.

Shivers. Presented without comment.

Yearly reminder that you can still play complete versions of both the Caverns Game and Castle Quest from Caverns of Blood here: bloodycaverns.net

Haven’t been pinball in’ much due to bein’ sick, but third game of Jaws went great.

NESDev's Game Genie Game Mini-Jam sure had some cool homebrew games in it. Like this one!

Best win I've gotten in UFO 50!

I'm coming to distrust anything with too many emojis...

Got bored and parsed out all the data I could find on archive.org and turned it into a nice HTML table. It looks like there's at least 99 games that got the "Approved" seal. There's also a fair few with no recommendation, which is weird. Anyway, here's the page:

If you drunkenly abuse voice modulation software, does that make it blottotune?

Some people really do put in the work here.

Dumb idea: hack a D&D pinball machine to use TNG Worf lines instead of the ones Michael Dorn recorded. "Today is a good day to die" wouldn't be a bad call out for a Dragon, just saying.

Any amateur etymologists out there? Does "fit" in the modern use come from a truncation of the word "outfit" or from the concept of how well clothes can be fitted, as if tailored for the wearer specifically?

"I'll double your hand size" is one of the callouts in the X-Men pinball machine. Are there any games where suddenly doubling the number of cards you can hold would be a negative thing?

POWER WAFFLES!

Footlong Nachos? What? That’s not remotely the correct unit of measurement!

Ran into an X-Men with a freshly reset high score table. There’s something hilarious about getting like 10 high scores all at once. Also, you can farm the top three places for extra credits. It’s nice.

Caught another shark on Jaws! Missed a photo-op, so app screenshot.

Today I learned that the world's biggest Coke Can is in Manitoba, Canada.

Looking into some SMWCentral's C3 event threads: www.twitch.tv/patcdr

Got a new PB on X-Men last night! Didn't expect much after a couple of dud games, but it just kept going.

Went downtown this week to have lunch with a friend. Hit Just the Tap to play some Black Knight 2000, which was unfortunately a bit broken, but did set a PB on Deadpool.

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it authorblues.github.io/lecture-slid...

Completed a challenge mode for the first time! Avengers has a really fun one. Pretty sure a time of 8:24 isn’t great, but damn if that last shot that kills the flippers wasn’t gratifying.

Always fun to see how well you’ve done on a high score board. And it was my second game. Great Setinel multi ball, but garbage Ceribro.

Wasn’t what I was trying to do on Venom, but can’t complain. Still not sure how to get the Carnage hurry up.

My Twitch account was hacked, and a hacker is masquerading as a partnered account on Twitch. Twitch won't do anything to help fix this. How many more of us need to be hacked and lose everything until they decide to help restore our accounts?
