thinking about rocket knight adventures again what a game i beat that on every difficulty except the very hardest which... I forget what it was but to access them you had to enter a code at the konami screen (only ONE of which was the konami code!) and you got these codes by completing the game on the hardest accessable difficulty level each time, which would unlock the next hardest difficulty. gosh dang. the last one was just... a one hit and you die mode. with no continues. no extra lives ._.;

really wish there was a dedicated retropie gamepad that just... worked... y'know?

...oh no I think I know why the gamepad won't connect with the rpi...

...because it keeps trying to bluetooth connect with my Surface.

because I have to use it in Xinput mode or else the Home and Star buttons don't work at all in the Rpi, despite Retropie natively supporting the 8bitdo sf30 pro, so you would think it would go "OH I know, it has these two extra buttons you can use!" but NOOOPE.

why do i like arknights so much what the dick

gosh dangit now I gotta figure out how to get this blasted thing to work again fuck
AND NOW THE KEYBOARD ALSO DOESN@T WORK HHHH

Ah! Got my 8bitdo working with my rpi again!

...

wait...

no

no i didn't apparently. fuck... goddammit...

okay what about this time...

where were you when josef returned from the wastes with the GECK and saved mastodon

Kid Chameleon? More like Kid C'mon-let's play a better game instead.

and this is just ONE of the massive wodge of documentation I'm looking through. holy crap. I'm learning a lot today. and none of it is useful \o/

I did not. until today. this is a seven page document that lays out in no uncertain terms EACH of these things individually. holy fuck.

like, did you know that the Coal Authority here in england is part of who has to be contacted to make sure the property isn't previous/currently/potentially in the future going to be mined for coal via all various means including opencast, whether any faultlines or whatnot might make or have made the property foundations and landscape unstable, whether it's within 800 miles within such areas, whether coal even EXISTS there or nearby, if subsidance is a risk or not, mine entrance locations, etc

looking through legal documents on a property because ... i gotta figure out what part of a contract is in there that specifies how you remove yourself from a lease properly, and... wow what the fuck there are so many documents here

also i i couldn't sleep at all last night and it was 5am before i finally slept and I woke up at like 10am ahahahahahahah [i]fuck[/i]

pmd DX is good btw. like, really lovely and wholesome and good and pretty fun.

SPEAKING of Arknights it's 3am and I just nearly died laughing at this strategy video for 4-4 which stars (and only stars) my favourite squirrel girl in the game. Shaw.

Holding off a boss character and a ton of late game enemies on her own with just a few roadblocks and damage dealing runes to help her. and winning.

tfw you find out the Guard operator, Estelle, that you managed to get randomly is considered a "secret" character in Arknights and she's actually really friggin good

also it's Dragon Half so you know VEEERRRYYYY 90S ANIME style.

VERY 90s.

like... imagine the most 90s anime you can think of

now make it MORE 90s anime.

no, more 90s anime than that.

...No. WAY more than that.
