Nova Storm @NovaSquirrel@computerfairi.es

I guess other people like Maffi just as much as I do

The picture I commissioned of Maffi is done!!! It looks amazing and I'm really glad to have better art of her now.

It works now. I was storing the wrong register when I meant to store the accumulator, and it was a copy and paste issue. I have a directory of graphic files in the ROM now, where I can specify one to upload. Now I have to make some mechanism for uploading palettes. Maybe that calls for a separate list.

Going to see if there are enough people on SpinDizzy who are interested in non-sci-fi stuff to establish an environment I can feel like I fit into for at least one day, or if it turns out I've spent nearly 3 years trying to achieve something that had no chance in the first place.

I ordered an animation cel of Dr. Robotnik from Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog awhile ago and it arrived today.

Yes, I did buy this entirely because of YouTube Poop.

That fixed it! I think the mustard is actually very important so I'll probably spread it around more to ensure every bite has some.

I think roast beef on its own is kinda a bit much so you've gotta fix it up with some more flavors, and mustard is pretty strong.

I'm gonna pack a roast beef sandwich for work and hopefully it will be alright this time. Last attempt only had bread, roast beef and American cheese and I think you really need so much more than that to make it appealing.

So I bought lettuce and I'm gonna use mustard I've got.

I'm slowly working on getting Nova the Squirrel 2 to display some stuff using my own infrastructure. I've got a palette but I'd very much like to upload some tiles too.

I bought two small picture frames to decorate my cubicle at work and I need to figure out what kind of stuff I will put in. Probably print out pictures of characters I like haha. Maybe I'll bring in my wonderful squirrel print I bought at IndyFurCon 2017.

Oh no my mom is one of those conspiracy theory nuts who believes in chemtrails and the government controlling the weather, on top of being a religious nut

I want it to stop being so cold most days so I don't need coats anymore

My brain seems to round times in a weird way.

4:45 PM: Fifteen minutes until I go home
4:46 PM: Wow it's almost 4:50 which is almost 5:00!

I need to pick up a pencil again sometime and doodle something. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

Actually working on getting a Maffi pic commissioned <3

I implemented password hash salting in Tilemap Town, with the ability to handle the old unsalted passwords and just upgrade them when the user changes their password next.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm bothering with backwards compatibility when there's almost certainly no other instances of the server aside from mine. There's still active code that runs upon database creation for converting the maps and users from a bunch of JSON files to a relational database, even.

Extended the Maffi portrait out into a full body thing and now I guess I have a good enough reference to try and commission some pics. Also scanned the plug on my SNES mouse so any artists don't have to resort to Google Images.

Having my trash bin at work mysteriously emptied every day by unseen actions makes me wonder if that's how a cat feels about their litter box

I guess when I get home today I'll try to draw this bigger somehow, either on paper or just a bigger canvas. Maybe try a side view? That's a big maybe because they're tricky!

Another big thing to figure out is going to be personality since it influences things like poses and expressions. I think while Nova especially focuses on my social side, Maffi probably represents the side of me that needs time to myself now and then to just -create- and she might be a bit more introverted or shy.

How's this hair style look? I'm thinking it might be nice to make the top part a bit smoother instead, but it looks kinda nice slightly jagged like this.

It's good! I have a bunch more sausage left over though so I have to either bake more pizzas or devise some use for them. Maybe they work as meatballs for pasta?
