While I used to dislike gift cards for locking you into using the money on a specific store, now they're kind of nice since it's some money you can use to treat yourself without any guilt about not saving it. You're sparing the recipient from the pains of opportunity cost a bit, while not giving them something they potentially dislike since they choose what it is.

food 

I wonder what happens when you mix packets of different Jello flavors together. Does it result in something edible? Honestly most of the time I try something weird it turns out baddd, like when I tried to use hot cocoa mix as chocolate powder.

mastodon meta 

One issue I can see with Mastodon's follower-only toots is you don't actually get a full picture of what it's like to follow someone until you do.

I've had to back out before after someone's content turns out to be too much for me and I sorta worry about what it'd look like if I did that right after following someone. Probably just unnecessary worry though.

It's got a bunch of assembly source code on it for games I never finished and probably won't. One of them was gonna be a simple Sonic-inspired game, though who knows if that would have gone over well on an LCD that's slow enough that you can get grayscale like this.

I still have grayscale Handsome Squidward on my calculator. In fact it's pretty much frozen in time since high school aside from putting lots of calculus related stuff on it.

I have a really strong desire to feel like I fit in somewhere. That's been a long-running wish throughout my life.

My completed RCT Classic scenario. Towards the end I unlocked way more ride types than I actually had room for so I just sorta let it sit.

family, lonely (-) 

Now that I got to go to a family gathering thing again I'm reminded of the problem that's been in the way for a long time, where there's just no one my age.

I can't relate to pre-adolescent children or people 20+ years older than me, who only talk about things I know nothing about, and because there were no activities except talking I was just on my phone most of the time...

Oops, appears I completely missed the word Tycoon in there. But yeah RCT Classic is a pretty good mobile game in the sea of microtransactions and pay-to-win.

Playing RollerCoaster Classic on my phone to pass the time at the family Christmas thing. I don't play it a ton but I'm glad it's there when I need it.

At a family Christmas thing for my dad's side, and it's nice especially since my mom's side has long since stopped doing this kinda thing. Had some dessert I haven't had in ages.

I like just picking up Tilemap Town every now and then and just making little maps in offline mode. I guess I ought to make custom tileset support now. Or rather, finish it, because most of the machinery involved is already there!

I guess my phone has some sort of cat detecting algorithm on it

The Famicom version of Rampart seems more interesting than the NES version and also the arcade version.

Whenever something is super dusty, instead of wiping it off I just write amusing words in it, which I'm sure is helpful.

I'm going to call this a success, for now at least. I'm not entirely sure how I want this to look and I'm probably going to continue using Second Life as a reference, but unordered lists are good right now.

I think I'm gonna try and actually make folders work properly in Tilemap Town's client, instead of the current situation where items are *not* displayed in a tree, and opening/closing folders actually just shows/hides items anywhere else in the list.

I still wish there were more of a community for asexual people within the furry fandom. It's always been kind of hard not to feel second-class, I guess?

I'm good friends with a nonanthro fox who totally nails the role and successfully interacts without ever saying a word, yet in private she's very chatty and it makes me think of that trope of a magical animal who's gotta pretend to be mundane in public
