I am an enthusiast of many things and a master of nothing.

I am very, very, very tired.

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Every final fantasy game is either Black Leather or Crystals

VIII? Black Leather. V? Crystals. Lightning Returns? Black Leather. IX? Crystals.

Despite the characters all wearing black leather, XV is Crystals

Feels like I'm back in Inaba, catching up with the ol' Investigation Team.

I know I'm old now -- TOO old, really -- because I sometimes see a Garfield comic and think "That's cute. I should share it with <friend>".

Garfield. GARFIELD.

How low I have fallen.

There is so much follower-spam over here. I'd forgotten that since leaving the bird site.

I need to write a memo/white paper/report thing for work. As I stare at this blank page, I realize that Brandon Sanderson could have pumped out three secret novels by now.

I am forever grateful to Cookie Monster for giving me a little song to sing when I pour my coffee.

I watched two episodes of Dandadan today and I have absolutely no idea if I liked it or not.

Spending the last day of 2024 as I spent so many others: playing Person 4 Golden.

There's a decent chance I finish it today, which would be nice.

Assuming I cross the finish line, it'll be the first Atlus game I actually complete, so that'll be a great way to close out the year.

I am struck by the beautiful simplicity of this display. Tools that make complex things _knowable_ are some of my favorites.
Finally had time over the holidays to realize a long-standing dream of mine: a hex editor that knows about the PE file and .NET metadata format. You can click any byte and it will show you which data structure it is in the tree. Every byte is covered.

The parser is at github.com/KirillOsenko...

I've been playing Persona 4 Golden for the first time. I've been specifically wanting to finish it before starting Metaphor and have been hoping to complete it during my December time off from work.

I'm nearing the end of Jan. So I'm close to finishing it. But I'm also close to burning out on it.

When I make my first post on Bluesky, it should be a really funny joke.
