Haven't been posting much on any social media as I wait for my new phone to come in. Playing this lately. Been in the mood for early 3dfx/Voodoo-Quake-inspired FPS. Already beat Chasm. They remind me a lot of King's Field.

We making it to Eastern Europe with this.

And then according to them Web1.0 was the 80s to 2004, as if THAT is somehow one era. Yeah the internet barely changed from 1980s to 2004. Tf.

And it ignores arpanet and the earliest networks.

The whole designation of Web2.0 is idiotic. It lumps everything from Flash, geocities, static sites, basic html with drm, JavaScript takeover, webapps and Chromium into the same era. Yet another thing Tim-Berners Lee is wrong about.

There are some games that I believe are inherently bad but since its only been played by people who enjoy that style it has mostly good reviews.

Man. Go continues to interest me as a language but I just cant bring myself to start studying it. Can't even figure out where I'd use it. Python does all the simply scripting I need to.

Been playing SkyRoads as of late. Something about it rubs me the right way. Maybe it's the MIDI and simplicity of it all.

Surprised nobody has remade it. So comfy.

I still hope for a day we can get open-sourced GPL AmigaOS to the point where it becomes a serious competitor against Linux. So far AROS and MorphOS look great.

I will literally never stop clowning on Vivaldi. Why on God's earth would you build a REACT UI ON TOP OF CHROMIUM?! Internet Explorer literally opens faster than Vivaldi and doesn't take SEVERAL SECONDS to autocomplete.

I really gotta focus on one translation project at a time. Found an obscure German point-and-click game about if Rome never fell and now I wanna download and start ripping it apart to find the strings.

Don't care that Simple Gallery got sold off to some adware company. App was garbage. I try to hide some album covers so i dont see them in my gallery. The app's solution? Dump .nomedia files EVERYWHERE.

After 6 months of getting various things set up and stalking the ether I can finally announce my next project.

Earth-Station End-Times

Coming to Bandcamp and streaming services, January 31, 2024.

Front cover design by the aural-sorcerer Octavia Sheffner with minor edits from me.

Reading the MPV changelog. Man they swear a lot.
November 29, 2023 at 1:47 AM
Me out here waiting for producers to get back to me. Argh I just want to release this album already!

Probably should have bought that beat before it vanished. Either way I'm now stuck with 3 written songs with no instrumentals. Gotta go beat hunting to replace them. Anyone have any recommendations? I'll rap over anything.
November 25, 2023 at 2:02 AM
Cover arts for some songs I intend to put on streaming. Also me learning how a drawing tablet works and generally screwing around.

So far, of the 3 games I want translated:

1. Script dumped and translated, needs editing then re-insertion.
2. Located script location, just need to crack open those archives and start binary searching for strings.
3. Starting tomorrow.

No announcements till I have something more presentable.

Beat Super Junkoid the other day. Wow. Really good, the right amount of disturbing, nightmarish landscapes & insane boss fights. It reminded me a bit of Void Stranger but without the pretentious crap. Highly recomend it, one of the best metroidvanias I've played this year.

So many of the accounts ive found here all stopped tweeting approx 6 months ago. What happened? WHERE DID THEY GO
November 10, 2023 at 2:29 AM
I've long since given up on trying to make sense of it all.
November 10, 2023 at 2:23 AM
Seriously considering playing the Alone in the Dark reboot. It looks like just the right kind of garbage.
November 8, 2023 at 1:24 AM
Woot! After a bunch of trial and error I've managed to insert text into this game. Now I can begin translating it! So excited!
