30 rad new NES games for $30 Next friday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Aum...

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.

I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint​.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

The two early reaper peppers are almost ripe. As for my seedlings, 2 jalapeños are doing well (and a 3rd given to a friend), 1 is doing poorly, 1 has died. The reaper seedling seems happy.

Well I dropped my phone today, and it developed some pretty cracks. Thankfully it's under the surface and doesn't affect touch. Setting up USB debug now cause the next time I drop it I might need to operate it without the screen. Lasted a good 5 years though! GG Samsung J7.

Improvised little potato knishes. They turned out very savoury! 🥔

The finished tablet stand.

E DUDE ABIDES. I'm pretty sure this graffiti has been here by the lift bridge for about a decade now.

Freeze your freezies in the upright position for ease of opening. #Freezies

Protip: ketchup packaging is designed to "accidentally" squirt out more ketchup than you wanted. Put it into one of these and have perfect ketchup forever.

The most memorable part of The Deer Hunter for me was always John Williams' Cavatina. Hearing it might have been the point in my life that sparked an interest in the classical guitar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGyc...

It me

I put some beets in my shrimp curry and it turned very red! Quite curious... 🦐🍛🍠

Screamers be screaming #AtariST

Pixels. What are they? We just don't know. www.kickstarter.com/projects/110...

Small game to try sylvie.itch.io/sylvies-frui...

Got tricked into buying this "broccoli rice", which is just chopped broccoli stems? Cooked it, mixed with rice, roux, and spices to make some sort of broccoli risotto, which turned out pretty good.

I've been beta testing Bio Creeps and I think it's a pretty fun and unique game. Also challenging!

Finally migrated 20 years of old e-mail out of google mail. Feels pretty good. Despite what it says in the image, Google's servers don't feel sadness. I resent when corporate machines whine that we're not paying them enough tribute.

One of the rarest items in my NES collection: Beyond the Pins. It's a lovely short adventure/bowling game. It never got a release beyond its initial short run for people willing to gamble on a mystery cartridge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj9V...

Little Shop of Quarters is just one of the places you'll visit in Cinema Hills. Whether you want to pick the owner's brain, play a few games, or rent out one of their lockers, there's plenty to do! Beyond the Pins 2: The Second Frame Coming soon to NES, DOS, and PC/Mac. #nesdev #indie #retro #dos

Sometimes I remember this dumb YouTube channel I made to post fake GXSCC versions of NES soundtracks with stupid descriptions. I guess I thought it was funny, but I didn't have the stamina to make enough for anyone else to find funny, like, statistically. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l98...

Causing much mayhem, dropping drama! Trash Panic on the PS3 had a pretty cool soundtrack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWfc...

The weather is just nice enough to start cycling, I think. Today I saw a nice sunset and rainstorm over Lake Ontario. Though I stayed mostly dry, it even started to snow a little bit as I got home. 🚴‍♂️

I mean, I just had to...

I was going through some of my old music stuff and I found this cover of '39 by Queen that I did a while back. It's still my favourite Queen song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc8S...

8 years ago I made this NES game called Lizard. I never know how to describe it... a quiet game of exploration, with a little bit of difficulty, a little bit of mystery. It was a kind of game I wanted to see more of, and I still look at it fondly. rainwarrior.ca/lizard/

A really interesting hike from 2019. Near Tofino there's a trail that starts from a tricky to find telephone pole. An hour or two through a marsh, past an abandoned military building, you reach a bomber plane that crashed in 1945. Wish I'd taken photos of it, I just have a few that my sister took.

After switching to a private e-mail instead of Gmail, every time I have to use an e-mail code 2FA and wait a few minutes... it makes me aware how much web devs just expect everybody to have instant e-mail? This expectation feels oddly creepy to me.

Accidentally acquired a savoy cabbage, decided it should become soup. 🥬

We now have a trailer! I've had a pit in my stomach this past week just thinking of everything that needs to happen, but I'm also so excited to finally have this out to everyone. BioCreeps is an action arcade game for the NES coming very soon. #nes #nesdev #indiedev #biocreeps

I'll never get over this live clip of Robert Fripp's short lived League of Gentlemen. I especially love Barry Andrews' hands reaching from the shadows to play the organ. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4HG...

Are weird tunings having a moment? Maybe I should share this one I did many years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8Xi...

! this this zoom in / out into car chase is incredible

The Ninja Gaiden arcade game has a lot of signs that seem to be parodies of real products. This beer sign was perplexing but my best guess is that LOIB CIEHM is almost an anagram of MICHELOB, and the red triangle with DRY on it is sort of like Michelob's red ribbon?

After a few weeks in the starter tray, it looks like only 1 of my reaper seedlings survived, and about 5 jalapeños look healthy. Also, the parent reaper has started making its first pepper of the year. 🌶

Partner found this and we're both losing our shit.

It's time for the return of the Aspetra Speedrunning Spectacular! This time with 6 competitors! voxandra.gay twitch.tv/voxandra

Please enjoy the two minute crucible that is this turtle trying to get on to a log that other turtles are on.

I had lapsed on WaniKani for a long time... much longer than I'd realized. Today I finally got back to 0 queued reviews and it feels like a big accomplishment. (Took about 3 months to get here from my maxed out queue of about ~1300 terms.) Japanese vocabulary once again pouring into my brain!

After watching @3blue1brown.com's video on M.C. Escher's Prentententoonstelling, I wanted to know how close Escher's grid (green) came to the "exact" one derived by De Smit and Lenstra (red). The central square seems perfect, but the edges, and especially the corners deviate much more...

Gamer cheese?

Well, it finally happened, I guess I like Mr. Bungle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YEt...

Sometimes people complain that a video game has a bad translation, and I wonder if maybe the translation is actually pretty good and it was just the game being oblique about stuff.

Happy Pie Day to those who celebrate. 🥧

Tonight's experiment: Lobster bisque! 🦞🥘 I ended up with some leftover lobster bits after a friend's wedding. Never tried this before; after simmering about an hour the lobster shells produce a very potent broth! After straining, added some milk, butter, roux, veg, spice, etc.

@barleybap.bsky.social I just heard about this slime game on the (distant?) horizon and it will be in my dreams. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_3m...

No context ranagram. 🐸📊
