Mmm, nothing beats a good sauna.

What do you call an anthropomorphic marsupial that was involved in a go-kart accident? A crashed bandicoot.

I wrote my own fastfetch config, am I cool yet?

It's somehow mind-blowing but also really awesome that video games exist as a concept. Not to mention how much technology has evolved over the past 50+ years, to the point where we can craft and play around in worlds the size of several cities... It's just impressive.

I'm convinced at this point that YouTube just hate their users. Only a few hours ago, I was able to watch videos without needing to disable my ad blocker and I even have YT Premium. Now I suddenly can't watch *anything* unless I turn the ad blocker off.

LRP: Mostly to remind myself to watch the video in question.

I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan. From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history. Link: youtu.be/F80Cl6WzBNo?... This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

Why is updating Discord on Linux still a fucking pain in the ass almost 10 years later?

Alright, the operation begins. Wish me luck.

It is just past midnight on the day Windows 10 goes EOL (on my time zone). I'm about to head to sleep, hoping to get enough rest to be sharp for the operation that awaits when I wake up. See you on the based side.

That feeling when you suddenly forget how a section in your own song goes.

And the PC game disc ripping operation is complete. I was under the impression ripping the 4 discs I had remaining would take 3-4 hours, but no, it barely took 2. Anyway, now I can start preparing the desktop PC for the Linux-ification process.

My sleep schedule has been slipping this week. Gotta get it back on track.

About 2.5 hours into Bye Sweet Carole, I'm feeling a little conflicted on it. The general vibe is nothing short of stellar, with the Disney-esque art style and tense atmosphere with music to match, but the puzzle design could do with a little less tedium.

Game disc ripping is almost done. Only 4 to go. Downside is at least 3 of them use SafeDisc, so it's going to be a 3-hour operation left for tomorrow.

Heh, CD-ROMs of the classic Dooms are ripping in a minute at most. Nice and quick, just how I like it.

I'm a sucker for games with not-oft-seen art styles and Bye Sweet Carole is definitely scratching that itch of mine. Looks interesting in general, might pick it up. youtu.be/SZtCBGg0koo

It's Taco Thursday.

Only two more months till Cacowards time. Normally I wouldn't be hyped for December 10th this far in advance, but this year is the evident exception. And the reason why is easy to name.

Alright, that's about half of the PC game disc ripping operation completed.

SafeDisc makes ripping a single game disc a "delightfully" slow process.

I'm craving tacos today.

Operation "rip all of my PC game discs" is underway. This'll be a "fun" process.

Completely random tidbit of the day: the titles of Doom maps I've made over the past 15 years start with almost every letter of the alphabet, the only letters not covered being Q, X and Y.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Time goes by too quick in Japanese class.

I'm in the toilet for three minutes and it feels like it gets so much darker outside just in that window of time. Not entirely sure how to feel about that side of the fall season.

And a new game idea is brewing. I'll wait until after the Linux migration to start working on it proper, though. Just gonna stick to gathering ideas as they come for the time being.

How to instantly sell a game to me: 1. Have Mick Gordon involved. 2. See #1.

So Psychonauts is a pretty intriguing game.

Wee, I caught a ColdWire demo on the DoomSpeedDemos stream!

Make a broke hobbyist musician's day and buy his new album this Bandcamp Friday? :v thesanttupesonenproject.bandcamp.com/album/eden-e...

Let's not turn this into the new thinly veiled insult towards autistic people, alright? Pretty please?

Finally getting around to ripping the 9 CDs I have left to do it with. PC game discs shall follow afterwards, and then, I can Linux-ify the desktop PC.

I've noticed I have this impulse to grab my phone and doomscroll every time I sit down on the toilet and I've had to start fighting against it.

Getting a musical idea and randomly thinking that it'd be suitable for a video game. What sort of video game, though? That has yet to be figured out.

I think my favorite type of music is the sort of music that very strongly evokes a particular emotion or vibe, regardless of genre. And I think this is the root explanation for why I love video game music so much. Video game music’s unifying purpose is exactly this.

I thought I learned from the last time to keep my laptop's system up to date, but evidently not. Another 3+ months passed since the last system update and I had to do the root thing again.

Why do I always struggle with telling something about myself in a job application to the point where it takes me an hour to write up something I'm happy with?

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who know programmed drums the instant they hear them... ...and those who convince themselves that's the sound of a real kit when it obviously isn't.

Went and enjoyed some video game music, performed live by an orchestra. And man, what a show. Didn't expect to shed as many tears as I did.

Squirrel.

Random open question: is there a (light) switch in your house/apartment that doesn't seem to do anything? Trying to find out something.

Catching a glimpse of a TV screen in one of the neighboring buildings and someone's clearly watching an ASMR video on it. I'm not judging, though. Watch your ASMR on whatever device you wish.
