I'm still very very glad for non-stick cookware/bakeware. I spend a lot of time cleaning up after myself and I can shave off like 10-20 minutes easily.

Whenever I play through Wario's Woods and get to the versus match against Carlton I think about "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (and consequently "Fesh Pince of Blair" which is entirely what I associate it with)

I managed to find the logs of the first time I ever talked to my girlfriend (from all the way back in 2013) and confirmed how I met her and who was the one to say hi.

Let's just say if we ever have a wedding where we invite people we know, we will not be reminiscing on that in front of them. :p

I worked on my "green factory" on maple's Minecraft server a bit more, and made it automatically farm sugarcane, cactus, and melons (though slowly) so now it's actually somewhat an actual factory of green things.

I really ought to plug in the space heater instead of just wrapping myself in tons of blankets.

One interesting thing about Pokémon fursonas (or really fictional species in general) is how you automatically have an upper bound on how long the character has existed, based on when the species came out.

Somehow I got sucked into watching lots of Minecraft videos and I don't even play very much Minecraft anymore.

Doodled an Isabelle for practice. It was a little tricky and I'm not 100% happy with all of it.

My compiler's syntactic analyzer should be mostly done and I can make a tree of the program's syntax.

I'm using my example of how you might program Bomberman in Tilemap Town as my test case.

In the simple language I'm writing a compiler for, even though I'm using indenting instead of braces I still ended up making it convert the indents into braces in the compiler itself to be easier to deal with.

I guess tomorrow I'll make the syntactic analyzer, and then I'll have a tree of the program in memory to actually do stuff with.

It actually turned out very well and was a lot better than doing this with tortillas. The pita bread was discounted a lot too, probably since the use-by date is tomorrow.

I'm trying out making pizzas with pita flatbread stuff and I feel like I'm making some sort of adult pizza Lunchables meal

I think it's interesting that it's on the 24th though. I wonder if that's intentional so that people who get the game for Christmas don't completely fail the special event because you didn't play earlier in December to hear what presents people wanted.

I like how there's complaints of commercialization of holidays, and then Animal Crossing straight-up calls it "Toy Day"

I'm adapting the toy lexical analyzer and syntactical analyzer from college into something I can maybe use for a simple language for Tilemap Town scripting. I know there are generators for those kinda thing but I'd rather avoid learning and setting up a whole new system for now.

I'm keeping the scripting separated from the server itself so it should be mix-and-match once there's other options.

I seem to have a few specific songs that just trap me in, and I don't realize they've been playing for an hour because they're good and don't have noticeable starts or ends.

I poke fun at Second Life for passing everything by value and being wasteful, but actually trying to dip into that myself I can tell why they decided to just skip all the hassles that references come with for simplicity.

I'm personally gonna try to do reference counting though.

Forth is in a weird spot where it's well-established and easy to write an interpreter, but it's got a lot of awkward low-level stuff you probably wouldn't want in an interpreted language today.

You can fix it but then now you've just got a Forth-like language, like MUF, and you have to learn what each "flavor" is like. Not too different from the many C-like scripting languages in use I suppose.

Some things on my phone will fill the screen with the same color the screen turns while the call stuff is loading and I always dread being called before I find out it's a false alarm.

Let's learn Forth for real and actually get confident with that.
