The Monitor, a robot with a CRT monitor for a head and dressed in a jean jacket and red scarf, being tackle-hugged by Bun-E03, an android woman with mechanical rabbit ears and tail with a bunny suit to match. Bun-E03 is looking at the viewer with a wink and smile, her free hand making a peace sign / rabbit ears behind The Monitor. Pamela "Pam" DeMonium, a demon woman with bright red skin and cream-colored horns poking out from her white hair, leaning forward and saying "You got this." Her eyes lack pupils, being yellow the whole way through, and she leans forward with a very unbuttoned top. A small bee approaching a woman with bee-like antenna that may or may not be attached to her headband. Her hair looks messy and she has an exhausted, burned-out look to her, a cigarette dangling from her lips and little on her upper body besides a sports top that's been smoothly cut across the center and a half-off jacket. She's looking over at the bee saying "Queen? Heh. Nobody's called me that in a long time..." The added title text says "Royal Reject?! / Queen Bea / Chapter 1: Oh, Honey". Nova, a woman with dog-like ears and tail, jumping and pumping one fist into the air with a triumphant pose as her long white hair flows behind her, tied in a ponytail. She's dressed in a cropped raglan t-shirt with a red star in the center, cut-off jean shorts, long striped blue and white socks, and red canvas sneakers.

It's my birthday so I'm going to treat myself to RARE and MYSTERIOUS video games, like small indie gem Gunstar Heroes
Starting soon:

The title screen of Gunstar Heroes with The Monitor and Bun-E03 off to the side. Red text and arrows suggests that they are NOT GAMING.

I lack the skills for it, but I gotta believe others will be able to pick up the pieces of SAMMI and make something better in time.
It's been my tool kit and playground for a long time. As much as I've optimized and refined and compacted things, I'm nowhere close to the heights others have reached.

If you're so confident AI is the future and is going to improve everything, have your toy theftbot write a new program instead of ruining the hard work and dedication people put into an existing one

I was gonna leave this as just a blog that was sent out via RSS but the front page of Retro Achievements put up a Retro Roulette this morning, which gives me the impression that they're just going to move right along like nothing happened, so

Here's the Retro Awardments for Blue Stinger I was working on.

I can't support them platforming hate and trying to non-committal "both sides" backstep.

My Retro Achievements claim was dropped despite being told it wouldn't do that in review so I'm done with 'em.

Inspired by @thekindestweapon.bsky.social, I'm gonna grab all the Retro Achievements I was working on and put them on my blog Soon™

Have your own sense of accomplishment

Combining a morning walk and grocery run, then will see if I can get a stream going this morning

Gonna be another hot day so I might have to cut it short if it really heats up, will have to see, but trying to make things happen where I can

Anyways, hard right turn today because I found a job listing that is perfectly aligned with my skill set and the work I would like to do (and previously did), and it's the kind of place that I want to work at as opposed to being A Job

So that's priority 1 today
