I remember one time I was playing Snipperclips with my ex, and I started singing the main leitmotiff aftet playing the game a couple of times, and she looked at me like "how did you get that".

Kinda interesting how my visual imagination/memory/dreams are very weak (I have mild aphantasia) but my auditory memory is actually fantastic. I can playback songs in my head, I can pretty easily "sing" any song from my usual playlists, and I can remember a song after only hearing a couple of times.

What do you mean, the first pages are super important to set up the story and characters 😭

I had to do a double take because I'm sure I've read a doujin with this EXACT name.

Now that FRLG is on Switch, this is probably the best time to bring up an *old* remix I made of Four & Five Island on the PC-Engine. Imagine the GBA had a similar soundchip 🤤

I really want to arrange more music here but the MML programs for it SUCK.

I naïvely thought these were for NSO when I first saw the announcement.

lol

It's one of those days 😔

I'm entering my "doubt everything I write and abandon manuscripts halfway" era 🫤

I forgot one of the scales lol

Oh, ahah. I did! I think I intended to go back to it and forgot lol. I have no idea what to put there 🫠

I have a feeling this is more geared towards artists with many OCs, but it was fun to do nonetheless.

There's a weak, but clear trend of my migraine peak intensity getting worse over time.

So I installed a patch to fix some of the visual bugs, and now the game doesn't run properly (lots of slowdown), and it crashed my phone.

Great.

It plays... okay. There were a lot of bugs with the text at first, but I installed a patch, and now it runs at 10fps. Oh boy.

It feels so wrong playing GC games on my phone.

If that’s it, then it explains why a game like Balatro, which has no flashing lights, is fine for me. Prime 2 was also relatively.

I guess the next test is playing Minecraft. I don’t think there are many flashing lights there. But now I must lay down because my head is not feeling great.

Maybe a migraine "cause" breakthrough? I tried playing LeafGreen on my tablet and after ~30min started feeling worse, with headache, nausea, etc. So it's not the screen type that's causing this.

I think it’s the flashing lights on the battle transitions. Which also explain why MP4 was bad too.

Must be my autism speaking, but sometimes I just get attached to very particular things and find them endlessly fascinating.

For example, the Voynich manuscript, the Minoan civilization, and anything with the word "incident" attached (I blame Phoenix Wright for that one).

I just realized why writing contests appeal so much to me. It's because it's a competition where in theory the best story wins. You don't have to worry about marketing, networking, or any of that BS. You just have to write a good story, and you'll be rewarded.

But obviously it's not that simple.

Picking up the pigs always makes me happy in this game 🤭

Well, Project Janus is not really a fit for the rom-com they are looking for... so... I'll have to come up with something else.

They are both similar ideas, where a group of characters hides information from one another. Janus' concept was borrowed from Mimic.

The plan is to keep consuming rom-coms while I write Mimic, and then write Janus after getting Mimic done.

The latest HF contest details have dropped. The two prompts are "rom-com" and "psychological horror"... and I'm seriously considering on submitting to both of them 🫣

Time for the dual wield ⚔️

Project Mimic fits like a glove for horror, and Project Janus is an idea I've had for this contest.

We aren't used or prepared for this unlike in areas that get hit by actual hurricanes, for example. The soil is completely soaked and the risk of floods is extremely high.

And tonight it's Lisbon which is gonna be hit the hardest 😬

A lot of people lost their roofs, forests were uprooted, high tension power lines ripped apart. So far 9 people died. Two small cities I know very well got their downtown areas by their respective rivers flood with upwards of a meter of water.

And the rain will continue for about another week.

I haven't really talked about it since I've been going through a pretty bad migraine phase, but we have been hit by a series of pretty severe and near constant storms for about a week, and especially 3 days ago a hurricane-force one basically rendered an entire district unlivable.

I hate that everything in life is about knowing how to "sell yourself".

Want to find a job? You gotta know how to sell yourself.

Want you make sure your side projects go anywhere? You gotta know how to sell yourself.

Want to find a partner? You guessed it.

This is kryptonite for someone like me.

I am getting to the point of my writing career where I have enough original characters to make me concerned that I can even write them all properly.

By my count, between full novels and solid concepts, I have 32 characters with significant speaking lines 😬

Congrats!
