I don’t care how cliché it is, I have always loved the combination of cyan, magenta, and black. It’s just so pleasing on my eyes. Well, mostly. Some of those CGA games were blinding with large blocks of pure magenta or teal. At least the screens were small.

As we head into November, I’m wondering how to celebrate my HRT anniversary this year. This makes 12 years and I’m so proud of making it this far. I didn’t do a comparison photo last year but it’s been a wild ride and it saved my life by coming out.

One of my favourite games for its art was Natural Selection. I didn’t get into the game but the art was delightful. Similarly, I loved the art of Alpha Centauri and Civilization: Beyond Earth for their bug like alien life forms. I love overgrown organisms like that

Time is so strange to process so often. Like, it feels so recently that I signed up for Steam for Half-Life 2 and in just a few weeks that will have been 21 years ago. There's also the realization that I was in high school at that time too which does feel like a lifetime ago.

I don't use ai for inspiration. I don't use ai to write. I don't use ai for anything. I simply sit and WRITE. Because it's MINE. Because I LOVE it. And if it gets tough, I just keep WRITING.

One of my favorite parts of this time of year is that it becomes hot tea season. I love tea so much and it's so nice to just sit and relax with a cuppa and enjoy the warmth.

Today marks 15 years since the release of Fallout: New Vegas.

Since 2010, players have explored the Mojave Wasteland where countless Couriers have walked the same road—each carving their own story. Thank you for keeping the spirit of the game alive all these years.

Viva New Vegas. 🎲

Apropos of my recent post, one more change between ultra wide and going to 4K is that despite being significantly more demanding performance wise, stability in all of my Fallout games is also significantly better. Far fewer crashes in FO4 in particular.

I was so tired after lunch I curled up on bed and fell asleep cuddling the cat. We both enjoyed the rest.

I appreciate that in Legends ZA I am finally able to capture my true self. Much like a raccoon I prefer to be more nocturnal and also have dark circles under my eyes.

I just want this painting of Pumpkaboo from Legends ZA. I've always loved ghost types and Halloween and Pumpkaboo is the zenith of those combined.

Kitty sneezes are one of the absolutely cutest things.

As someone who is perhaps a bit obsessed with overly detailed data that is, generally unnecessary, USB cables with built in power usage displays tickle that itch particularly well.

ParaNorman is one of my favorite spooky month movies. Just watched it again with my cutiebutts and reaffirmed my love of the movie. They hadn't seen it before so it was fun getting their reactions to it too.

The short version: the Gzdoom team has finally had enough of Graf Zhal's shit (including but not limited to pushing AI code into Gzdoom).

The entire team has packed up and made a new fork of Gzdoom.

One of the problems of watching Startrek is the feeling that in a better universe, I would be being absolutely railed by a cute Vulcan scientist up against a replicator and the floor would be piled with plates of old cod because it misheard my vocalisations.

War. War never changes

Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage. In the year 2025 the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer
Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Trying out some other new kit that I'll inevitably write about. Specifically, I picked up an Epomaker HE68 keyboard which utilizes Hall effect switches and a Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition. Been using the mouse longer and initial impression is less wrist pain and easily adjusted to it.
