cleaned up all the belt gunk, gave each wheel a drop of oil just for good measure, installed new proper belt, wobble is gone

@arielmt they just dumped a generic belt on top of the old belt's gunk and called it a day

even the day i got this the wobble was already unusable

either they did it themselves badly, or got scammed and passed the scam forward

I honestly thought there were only three golf sims associated with General Motors brands, two years ago. That number has not risen, but I've discovered a missing link: a standalone, shareware golf game from the same company, developed separately from the Buick and Cadillac brands.

@gloriouscow i genuinely mean it when i say my "oh, why've they done it that way" comes from a place of "is there something wrong with the way i'm doing it" or "i wonder if this will improve how i do things"

and, beyond all hope, it worked! First with the test cart.

Then with Myst! (after I accidentally put the EPROMs in upside down, miraculously it didn't die after that)

after all this time, Myst running natively from vintage 1980s hardware. And as far as I can tell maybe I am the first person ever to run a full 2k-RAM E7 mapper game on real hardware w/o an emulator

@gloriouscow that's fair, i agree it's easier in photoshop!

but it's not that dissimilar in aseprite, if your colour layer is a single index

please don't take this as prescriptivism, i'm just curious about other people's workflows (and comparing them with my own)

@gloriouscow asking because it's how i would do it, but is it not equally as easy to simply flood-fill the colour in aseprite, if you already have shading as overlays?

@thedaemon heh

this was a patreon reward when i was still doing those a few years ago, i don't remember the exact prompt i was requested but i think "demon" was indeed part of the description

@mothtonoth in the subject of early gender neutral (neo)pronouns i adore how early spivak pronouns are (named after the mathematician who popularized them in 1983 but there's records of the same set being used much earlier)

@mothtonoth i don't expect every single person to be my friend or even like me, but like

when is it my turn to be happy
