Feels good to set a timer for approximately how long I think it will take for the oven to preheat and then have it beep to tell me it's ready right as I walk into the kitchen

Map editor for the microgame tool works well enough, I guess. This is really making me realize I should create like, some actual nature tiles for the sample assets. Grass at the very least!

Came to the realization that I likely would not have enjoyed getting to live through the 90s as an adult after all, and that it's very easy to forget how things have gotten way more accepting since then.

So, I'm making it my mission to bring back cartooniness, silliness and whimsy to the present where things are a little better. Because Gadget deserves to get to kiss other girls, obviously.

I've been Vegeta in Minecraft since 2011 and it'd be a shame to stop now, but I wanted to try being Isabelle or Gadget or someone else I have a crush on, so I figured this was a good compromise

The LEGO Movie 2 is incredible

Oh hey you can define animations now in my NES microgame tool thing

I think I just got hired

I bet it would be faster to find the photos I want to send on my phone if I didn't have to scroll past pages and pages of stuff like this. Worth it!

I also tend to take the same photo a few times in case one of the pics is blurry or something and never delete the redundant extras.

Gadget Hackwrench is really neat and I would hang out with her

Microgame block editor in progress

Friendship is really rad and important

I think I had a really good interview today and they emphasized that it's a good place to start and that I don't need previous experience so I hope that will go somewhere nice.

Aside from my legs, 35°F seems fine for me to walk in without trouble. I don't even need gloves.

Reflecting on whatever life choices led to the current situation where I'm making the decision that Billy Mays is probably no longer canon

Now realizing that my worldbuilding is actually very messy and is actually split between a "game" universe, "roleplay/personal" universe, and "high school fake UN" universe, and my wiki makes no effort to differentiate between any of this.

I guess I need to go through my wiki and clean everything up. I've kinda already started.

I watched some Rescue Rangers with mousebyte and one of the big takeaways for me was that, wow, plots REALLY change with/without smartphones, don't they.

Also Gadget should've been the person to work on gummi ships in Kingdom Hearts, dangit. She's really good.

Now I'm actually rendering NES tiles with JavaScript instead of having the tileset just be a PNG, which means I can change their colors. I'm glad that unlike Twitter I won't automatically get followed for saying JavaScript here, too.

I got partway into writing a function for the microgame tool only to find that what I wanted to do isn't allowed by JavaScript's security model, so now I guess I'm gonna just stick a 8192-length array into the tool as a workaround.
