Minty Root @ The Hearth's Warming Club

We ended up watching A Very Minty Christmas on the big screen.
I can count the pixels.

I wouldn't be surprised if they only did that because they wanted to have that same kind of perspective without having to redraw everything from scratch.
Given the amount of new sets they had to make, cutting a few corners might have been necessary.

Had to wake up extra early for day 2 of the con.
No panels for me, but I'll be walking around and attending panels.
My right hand is still in a bad shape, thankfully better than yesterday.

Story of my life.

Here's the footage, I'm sorry about the low framerate, but I was filming in timelapse mode. I also slowed it down to better see the car in motion.

Hello there.

Seems like I really messed up my writing hand and it might be barely usable for the whole convention.
Hopefully it heals before I return home.

Yeah, I'm mostly worried about the other guy. He must have had the scariest moment of his life right there.

Canada's Worst Driver taught me well.

Have one still frame of the moment until I transfer the footage.

Got there safely.

Currently at LaFayette. A car spinning out of control nearly hit my car, but I did a proper swerve-and-avoid to avoid a collision. I got it on video.

It's wimdy.

Now in Verona.

Quick stop in Speculator, New York.
I wonder how they call the people living there. Speculations?

Sorry I got distracted, there's a dog.

Currently stopped at a bar/restaurant in Pottersville for some food. Only four more hours of driving left. It's definitely snowy, but nothing too crazy.

About to leave for @ponyhwc.bsky.social !
Should be about six hours and a half of driving, but the view is sure to be amazing.

I'm running out of USB 3.0 ports on my main desktop to plug drives.
So I have to connect my external drive to a different computer, and access it thru a network drive.
I expected it to go slower.

So I'm pretty much packed for The Hearth's Warming Club. I tried to find my Christmas hat for the event, but I can't find it anywhere.
Otherwise I have figured out the last details for the driving timelapse and the itinerary.

Seems like the cold and dry air has gotten to my writing hand. I ended up with painful cuts, it won't ruin the convention but I'll have to avoid handshakes.

That's a plan for me to blast Pinkie's Presents 24/7 in my car.

The Wii Nunchuck encrypts its data using a value of 0x17.
0x17 in hex is 23 in decimal.
The Wii came out 23 years after the Famicom.

I think I got some closure on this, I built a phone holder using the bricks I bought.
It's Minty colored, because they had bricks with her palette.
