"The hot news that nobody sane has been waiting for"--the Windows XP activation algorithm has been solved, meaning anyone can generate an authentic XP activation code. (I find it's a wonderful "sweet spot" resource for VMs, old enough to run most '90s apps and new enough for the GPU support to do it well.) https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/26/windows_xp_activation_cracked/
In case you still thought Jack was going to somehow be better than Musk:
I like how you can see parts of the map by interacting with the terminals at the start of each level, though I would've liked to be able to see the waypoints in my own map!
Also, I couldn't find a pause key in this game. The Esc key makes you quit to the main menu, instead (but it thankfully asks for confirmation if you haven't saved recently)
Made some improvements to the overview file included with 3D #gameassets:
1. Improved design for overall data
2. Link to knowledge base including documentation
3. Whether assets include vertex colors
4. Fixed issue which didn't display group count correctly
New assets soon!
"Checkmate"
Standing up is quite an effort after the blast. You hear the deadly sine wave and see the blue lights of a cop car reflected in the kitchen tiles. Not many moves left.

Glasses
I got new glasses on Friday but I think they're not doing my eyes any favor. The glasses are the same grade as the ones I had previously but looking at anything with em on feels weird, and things further away than arm's reach start looking blurry.
I'm supposed to let my eyes get used to the new glasses, but I don't remember this taking so long.
I am watching a friend livestream Elden Ring; following her fourth (near-immediate) death to Malenia (Blade of Miquella, Who Has Never Known Defeat), she declared, "If my years playing From Software games have taught me anything, it's that if you see a woman sitting by herself in a chair, just leave her alone. LEAVE WOMEN ALONE."
I love video games with positive messaging.
