I am also somewhat dyslexic so gonna cut myself some slack

Its surprising how far I've gotten doing work that relies on writing given I have zero ability to spell or understand basic grammar conventions. Extremely lucky that I was born right when grammar and spell checkers became a thing.

Same I spent forever just wandering around looking at signs

If you ever wonder who those several hour long 'walking in X game' videos are for they're all for me I pay every creator who makes them because having one on a second screen is the only way I can focus on work.

Another headline fixed

Finally getting around to watching some of the X-files and damn I wish I could have been watching in the 90s when that intro was still really cool and I hadn't seen 30 years of it being parodied to death

Made the joke even worse by adding in the Myst opening titles rotation and rendering them in its native 12fps

I'm done now I swear

Made the joke even worse by adding in the Myst opening titles rotation and rendering them in its native 12fps

They could have been, though alas due to various irl issues we're probably going to be making fewer of those going forwards

Do I dare render this sequence in the game's native 12 fps just to commit to the bit even harder?

Update, I made this joke worse

Its not the exact font but I came about as close as I could

Today I spent precious hours of my life figuring out how to reverse engineer the exact text effect used in the opening to a 30 year old game just so I could make a terrible joke

If you want to know how dumb I am my brain is genuinely outraged that Resident Evil 9/Requiem is apparently good which means the series broke its pattern of reinventing itself with a good game (4,7) then immediately driving itself into the ground again with mediocre sequels

Been suffering from some really bad burnout and insomnia recently so I think I'm gonna take things easier with regards to history content this month and tinker with my Myst project more

Lord help me I am about to spend my work day reading a video game tie in book

I have like 2 pages to revise before I do something dumb like try to submit this short story somewhere and so help me I'm finishing this tonight.

Damn I went to to german voice store to pick up boy but all they had was girl 😔

Have to sit down and cut all my horrid mouth sounds out of a bunch of audio today please pray for mojo

Attention people who think Stella is funny and cool (that’s you, reading this) — With Stella’s blessing I am organizing a fundraiser event (probably a livestream) to try and raise as much money as we can to replace the $24k that was stolen from her! Please DM me if you’d like to be involved!

Should probably also listen to the 'you have no money atm' part of my brain

There are basically zero reasons for me to buy a steam deck given I barely ever go anywhere but the dumb shiny thing part of my brain wants one so much

Correction, Jump is the name of the CD, the album was Black Tie White Noise

A screenshot from the interactive CD Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time, showing the various multimedia elements you can install on your desktop (ignore the guys head being used as a meat grinder).

A collage style screenshot from the same CD showing a complete mess.

A screenshot from David Bowie's "Jump" CD showing an early 90s 3D render of a recording studio with a small video snippet of him singing.

Another screenshot from the David Bowie CD showing a 3D render of an office with a big screen of a woman wearing a weird piece of headgear singing into the end of a microscope.

Been doing some weird stuff for this video project but getting the old Windows 3.1 tie in interactive CD's for David Bowie's Jump album and Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time working strikes me as a particularly odd point.

Look

Starting to wonder if 80% of the physical and mental health problems I've had so far this year are entirely because I hit one strength higher on my coffee machine and was overcaffeinated as a result

Going through the joy of trying to find out if I accidentally dropped my contact lens trying to put it in or I did put it in and it's rolled under my eyelid where I can't see it 😬

Tomorrow I am going to dramatically cut down my caffeine intake to try and deal with chronic insomnia so please keep me in your thoughts as I get through this dumb self inflicted problem

I was gonna say any cheese with cranberry in it
