@Chel Especially pointless since I guess it was just a misunderstanding and bad assumptions. Leaving a note explaining what they're actually doing just fixed the whole thing? There's still a bigger issue of just making lots of bad assumptions without talking to me though.

So then today I find a note about "stop taking our soap, you can wash your hands upstairs" and at this point I've just given up and I've put a second bar in the kitchen. No one even bothered to say anything to me and maybe ask if it was mine, because of course it's not.

I'm getting rather tired of the other people I live with deciding the house is theirs and they're in charge. First they decide that, for no reason, the downstairs bathroom is theirs and the upstairs one is mine so I should be forced to take stairs every time I need to use it. Then, after I get soap and put it downstairs by the kitchen sink so I can wash my hands while cooking, they start taking it and putting it in their bathroom. They keep taking it after I keep putting it back.

I feel like it's a problem that modern chat platforms don't care about users being able to control their experience on the platform, or actually want to prevent it (with Discord's ToS banning client modifications, for example), and I think that's unacceptable for what's become the primary means of socialization for a lot of people.

Plugins and alternate clients need to make a return. Telegram does get some credit for publishing source code and API info.

I really like grilled cheese sandwiches as a nostalgic food but I'm very bad at not burning them. Anything that doesn't involve timers but is also picky is tricky for me.

For the longest time I held onto Lego Racers' powerup mechanics as being something unique and creative but now it's looking more like they probably just stole it from Diddy Kong Racing. I also don't feel like taking all the randomness out is a good idea anymore anyway, unless you're competing purely for skill rather than to have fun.

I'm thinking maybe tomorrow I should get an OpenRCT2 server going and I could build a park with some friends

To amuse myself I'm playing around with a concept of an expanded DCPU-16 with a bigger address space, facilitated by address registers.

I feel like there isn't much of a point though, because if you want a good 16-bit CPU in that general style you have the 68000 series already, which has compiler support and real-life chips and everything.

When I'm not standing in it waiting for a bus, I really like having thunderstorms and rain as background noise!

I just picked up my college diploma. The excitement kinda goes down after the 2 month delay in actually having it available but it's nice to finally hold.

Went to check weather.gov since it's raining, and goodness there's a predicted chance of thunderstorms the whole week. Probably not a good time to go bike riding.

Swarm of Thwomp-like knockoffs. I figured for the Game Boy Color's smaller screen size they should hover near the player rather than hang from some place offscreen and fall, and homing in on the player helps a bit to discourage camping. #gbdev #gamedev

@fenny@queer.af my NES game has buttons that make clones of Bonzi Buddy as a puzzle element

It's my mate's birthday tomorrow. I want to do something nice for her but not sure what.

Nova the Squirrel's level design process was very different. With the bigger and much more complex levels I spent a lot more time both editing and testing levels, running through the path I'd made multiple times, trying different things and just generally getting lost in my own creation. There were actually a lot of points where I'd feel like running through a bunch of levels just for fun rather than particularly to test anything.

It really seems like an in-game level editor where I can doodle out levels and test them right away is a big deal when it comes to just being creative and trying things design-wise. Granted, the wait time between builds would be smaller if I would, you know, use makefiles.

@trashyfins Dril's Patreon amount says yes

#Plush photo. Also included some non-plush stuff. I left some duplicates and childhood plushes out, but I can take a pic of those too!

Maybe tomorrow I'll try to take a good pic of *all* of my non-duplicate plushes, if that's possible to fit.
