(To be sung around midnight at christmas)

This christmas I gave you my heart,
and the very next day I passed away.
Beating, inside of your hands,
my christmas gift was such pants.

Got Mega Man X7 working on windows 10, aside from
Snipe Anteator being (actually) broken as ever. All is well again.

PC's running again with windows 10 rather than 8.1, so it's now just a matter of getting some stuff running again (drawing tablet, setting the system language right)

The problem affecting my PC hasn't stopped. Some process is keeping the OS drive completely busy, but isn't actually doing much with it. It was intermittent the last few days but at this point I can't get the thing to boot anymore (won't display the desktop), so it's going to be out of commision for a bit.

In the meantime I suppose I'll need to something for mastodon on my phone (suggestions welcome) and might do some drawing since I probably have less distraction.

And for everyone else: I've sent my #sneepsnop2k17 for @TheGibson about 45 min ago. If you're curious you can have a look over at https://batelite.itch.io/sneepsnop2017

Back from the dentist. Time to set up the required stuff to try and send of my sneepsnop gift.

It gets a bit lonely when you feel you don't have anything useful to say about most topics or when it feels like your reply would be too late.

King Neptune's Adventure is a terrible game.

Last night my PC decided to slow down a bunch and then take ages to boot to what seemed like a black screen. Having left it running overnight It did show the desktop this morning. Turned out on of the drives was doing whatever at 100%. After a bit whatever process was doing stuff has stopped or at least the problem had receded for now.

So that's how I ended up backing up shit before breakfast (last one was ~7 months ago.) Not particularly fun to feel like losing my sneepsnop with a day to go.

@LilFluff @netshade @hjkl This accidentally gave me some stuff to maybe check out. Cheers!

(Pardon the repost, I messed up the first time)

I just had a thought about how it's weird that all fictional hive-minds generally still have some queen or overlord
or other building-sized entity. How about a hive-mind with no social ranking whatsoever? Just a bunch of (cute) drones wandering about contently building some giant city somewhere or something?

The only problem I can think of is when they get a phone call and the person on the other end asks for the one in charge.

Apparently I missed a bunch of horny while sleeping?

And with that, good night everyone.

The C programming language was the first to have conditional statements, which was one of many improvements over its predecessor Linear B.

About one other person will get that I think.

Game idea:
Sports game about pretty much any sport where each team has their own stadium. Rather than a tournament you conquer stadiums of your rivals, taking over the map as you win matches. Of course since you're an official club you have to keep your finances in order and running a couple dozen (empty) stadiums isn't cheap. Money comes from winning stuff, so a large empire can get bankrupted simply by losing a few times. Winner would be the last team standing.

Thanks to living in Europe it feels like barely anyone is awake until the evening.
