I just finished the graphic novel and I actually cried at the climax because I care about the characters that much and seeing them almost die in a really intense scene tore me up. It was absolutely full of emotion and was very well-written.

How about we extrapolate and have a game for every single anagram of "Undertale" so eventually we get a game named "Elder Tuna" and then at the very end just release Undertale again exactly as-is under the name "Unaltered"

Tomorrow I will finally be current on Squirrel Girl and I'll stop staying up so late reading. Hopefully. Worst case scenario I've got like 10 more Warrior Cats books hahaha.

Squirrel Girl was scarily relatable for me right up until an issue that involved her trying a dating site and going on dates with boys, but then that completely fell apart because that sort of approach doesn't work for someone like her.

Reminded me of my own problems when I tried those until I met Lia.

If I ever DM a tabletop RPG I'll have a map of the local zoo out and look completely ridiculous but then it'll turn out I am in fact 100% serious.

You've got a neat little world split up into a few distinct biomes and it could work. Kinda.

How about the ability to put a CW on a CW so you just have to click through 100 warnings to finally read the post? It's not like it's completely annoying when people abuse collapses to do that elsewhere :p

Laptop's been running into a problem where WiFi doesn't work sometimes after restoring after a hibernation, requiring a reboot and defeating the purpose of hibernation.

Probably would be better if I got an SSD and things booted way faster.

I cooked burgers on the stove this time since we don't have that George Foreman anymore. I'd say they turned out well though I hope I cooked everything thoroughly enough. I used to not have to care as long as I just tossed it in for long enough.

I used mustard and I like it a lot! Makes it even more flavorful than after I had started adding pickle chips.

I got linked to the second volume of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and now I'm reading that but I don't think I'm going to binge-read all the way through *that* in a day. There's like 20+ issues haha. I'm really loving what I'm reading though.

Back when my very religious mom lived here she would decorate the house with angels and quotes/lyrics on the bathroom mirror and such, and I would always sneak "You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle. I'd rather flex my muscles." onto the mirror.

We keep the bathroom mirror clean now but there's still one mirror with a quote where I left the text alone but changed the speaker to "Knuckles" and it makes me laugh.

I really love squirrels

I binge-read the first 8 issues of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and I have to say I identify with the protagonist a lot (big surprise, I know).

Gave my version of Koei's VM a punny temporary name and put up a doc on my wiki: https://wiki.novasquirrel.com/Sea16

Still not 100% happy with it all, especially how >16-bit stuff should be handled. Maybe give the regular 16-bit version some form of carry? Guess maybe the answer might have to come from defining an actual use-case to design for.

I wrote a simulator for my altered version of Koei's C virtual machine that would be more suitable for implementing on hardware. Maybe a small C-friendly virtual machine has its place somewhere.

Here's some bitfield stores being used to replace digits in a hex number. The bitfield instructions were the most difficult to figure out how to implement since they involved complicated masks and shifts.

Okay now to sleep, to see if I can ease my bedtime back to 4 AM instead of later.

I admire how dusthillguy manages to take the most absurd (and sometimes nsfw) samples and make really catchy and genuinely good music out of them. And luckily for me it looks like he did his own Inktober-esque thing but with music instead.

I've looped https://soundcloud.com/dusthillboy/cocktober-25th-isomalt several times

It's actually really cool getting to have Nova being a tech/programmer person actually treated as genuine roleplay stuff that gets to have an influence on things.

Normally there's just an automatic assumption that any non-futuristic tech is automatically out-of-character, but I say that if you have normal electronics involved then the kind of people who'd be responsible for them also exist.

I put a link to Tilemap Town in the login message for the Icon Ultima (the main inspiration I had) server I've been running for no real reason and I already have an oldbie IU user poking me, so that was a good decision.

Baking (and cooking in general) is really empowering to me and helps me feel more confident as an adult, if that makes any sense?

@citlali@kitty.town I finally did it 😎
