Got a keycap puller when I got a new keyboard. A cleaning was overdue for my older one. (The new one's for a separate PC.)

I use Trello precisely so that I have a board with To Do, Doing and Done. This invites the opposite experience.

A very weird ad for Trello to be showing!

Time for a hot take.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom was a great game and I enjoyed playing it immensely.

A new PB has been reached in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past NMG. 1:31:36. A PB by ~2 minutes, as I return to this game/category after nearly 5 years. Spent the last month derusting.

Sub-90 is the next goal.

4 cycle lanmo, 2 blues aga, 5 warps.

Rewatching Battlestar Galactica. The ending of the episode "Pegasus", alongside the soundtrack piece "Prelude to War", remain among my favorites.

New PB! 6:55.983 in Super Mario Brothers Any%.

Curious to see if I can get a full deathless run in, and eventually a sub-6. This is my second PB in this category (did the first years ago). No powerups used this time around.

It’s amazing to me that it’s been 10 years since the public release of Zelda Randomizer. Thank you to everyone in the community for making this a success, and for all the fun times throughout the past 10 years! It’s impossible to fit in a mere 280 characters how grateful I am. You all rock.

10 years ago today @fcoughlin.bsky.social released Zelda 1 Randomizer to the public. It was my gateway into randomizers and my participation in the community might not be what it is today without this.

Happy Anniversary, Z1R, and thanks Fred for your hard work and bringing us together.

Almost 16 years ago I bought my name as a domain name. Finally I put a web site on it!

(You might notice my Bluesky handle has updated to use the domain as well.)

Check out scottdepouw.com where I'll be writing blog posts about speedrunning, programming, other hobbies, and more. 👀

Today I learned you can omit "" and "" from HTML 5 documents. I'd personally never do that, but that explains why a certain new site lacks them!

Just can't put HTML comments after them!

Made solid progress on Godot game dev this weekend. Last week I completed Godot's "First 2D Game" tutorial in GDScript, adding some extras.

This weekend I did the same, in C#, with more extras. Experimented w/code structure.

Hi all! This thread is to share some revisions and fixes I've made to Zelda 1 Redrawn in response to all the critiques I received from my first YouTube video. Surprisingly, most of the fixes were really simple to make! 🧵
