found a photo of some nonsense I made during downtime when I was working at xerox a decade ago.
it was cool discovering Allyson Grey's art a few years back because she does this sorta concept sometimes (except far better.)
well anyway. at least I didn't use AI right

On my last ALTTPR run I got a bit stuck again. Lo and behold...
"Hyrule Castle": { "Sewers - Dark Cross:1": "TriforcePiece:1"
One of these things is not like the other. o_o
I am using advanced item placement, but somehow I still expected that this customiser setting would override it.

I made a large Zelda music playlist to listen to with rando runs. First time I have ever made a playlist on mobile foobar before(???)
Missing quite a few zelda OSTs but all of the flagship titles except TotK are on there, plus several others, remixes and arrange albums. Should be fun!

Ruh Roh! Here we go again.
"Just play The Binding of Isaac, chief" - NO! (well maybe YES!but not yet)
Last time I played ALTTPR with keysanity it sucked because I had no way of knowing what key pickups corresponded to which dungeons. "Show dungeon item table in menu✔️" may be different this time.

also look what other cool thing I found in the loft 😍🥲 it was a bit crumpled but a little bit of ironing made it not too bad. I need to put this up somewhere...

I did a rough count of Lego sets I've built, photographed, dismantled and organised so far. 72! x_x
I estimate there's around another 10 amongst the residual mess of bricks sprawled over the dining room table, but I'm now at the point where there are no instructions or boxes left. So it gets tough.

Test results arrived.
No viruses. Normal B12, folate, iron, kidney, pancreas & liver function, but low albumin & raised CRP & platelets, all likely Crohn's related. Calprotectin is 718; >600 "suggests (Crohn's) disease". And I'm Vitamin D deficient. I should try goin outside sometime!
MRI next week.

Gotta be honest this was a serious slog the last few days. I have palpitations. Easier day tomorrow but feeling accomplished at least.

I (finally!) worked out a directory renaming File Op in foobar2000 to add release years. Wanted for my phone library en-mass since mobile fb2k doesn't expose %year%.
(When I say "I" I actually mean GPT. This shit solved something I wanted help with for *ages* and has saved hella time. sry not sry.)

Today, I want to choose "Spooky" by Lush (1992.) It was their debut, and features them at their most ethereal, effects-heavy and Cocteaus-esque. Their song "Laura" is one of my favourite indie rock songs ever. "Tiny Smiles" is also a delight.

Huh. Anticlimactic.
Well, I'm still investigating linnucks anyway. Dualbooting is good practice.

in a roundabout way, Facebook making me feel old is one of the features I dislike about it most. It feels like it could be damaging socially/structurally too ~ a fertile breeding ground for dissatisfaction & discontent with the here-and-now. The geriatric millennial's social network of choice!

Okay, I got off the blower not long ago. I did a write-up on Facebook again, since that's easier than trying to be succinct on Bluesky. Long story short though, it's good news, but I have to have an MRI and will be put on Prednisone (steroids.)
Also, please enjoy my funny joke.
