WORD OF THE DAY: ‘Metroidbrainia’: a style of platformer-based puzzle game in which the ability to progress revolves almost entirely around the player’s knowledge of preexisting game mechanics, rather than physical rewards
WORD OF THE NIGHT: ‘Bitbanging’: the phase of video game arbitrary code execution where raw data is fed into the game in the form of rapid controller units; may also be used to describe other forms of transmitting data through low-bandwidth channels
In other news, I'm afraid it's going to be another one of those nights…
The previous night, I got a glorious 90 minutes of sleep. This night, I scored a much better 594 minutes (9h 54m) of sleep! Remember to lock in when you hit the hay, folks! In other news, the TBGs are down, so don’t be surprised if you see a lot of weird jabbering and images from me.
Last night, I got a grand total of 90 minutes of sleep. And I didn't even dream about the Magnet Head to make up for it. It's approaching 9pm; here's hoping I can actually sleep this time…
I done goofed with my bedtime routine, and now I can't sleep properly. Looks like it's going to be another ruthless night. And I hate how this happens wherever one of my family members goes out of town, even though those events are absolutely not correlated…

But when the trainers recall the Pokémon, they hold out the same ball - which has somehow returned to their position - and fire a recall beam from it. This is completely consistent across the franchise, and nobody has pointed it out. How do they do it?
UNSOLICITED FACT: if you left a MacBook Pro running an extremely intense workload in a small sealed room, then assuming ideal conditions, it would take an absolute bare minimum of 2 to 5 days to completely displace the air. So, you might be able use your computer as a skillet, but not as a space heater.
I don’t watch movies; I view them. Hopefully you catch my drift; my family clearly hasn’t, evidenced by the fact that they still ask me to watch movies with them. Unless I’m there armed with a tape measure and a stopwatch, you aren’t gonna find me watching movies a second time on the big screen.
It’s a common saying that people don’t truly die until everybody forgets about them. But remember this: while your existence may be fleeting, your creations are forever. Your proudest creation might just become the material that a young mind was raised on. This mind will never forget it, and neither should you.
. . . okay, that wasn’t my proudest monologue. I’m better at ‘weird, disturbing deepness’ than ‘comforting deepness‘. https://turbowarp.org/16232219
As of late, whenever I try to fall asleep, I've often been ending up in a weird, semi-lucid state where I have ‘dreams’ without actually closing my eyes and falling asleep. A few nights ago, I ‘dreamed’ that I was scrolling YouTube recommendations and marketplace listings (the latter of which I have never done). Just now, I was 'dreaming’ that I was playing a weird fusion of R.E.P.O.’s 3D environment and Pokémon Infinite Fusion’s fusion system, in which the player used a device to transform themself into a Pokémon from a small list, then fuse themself with another. Is this abnormal, or am I just forgetting to close my eyes first?
Remember when text and image AI models weren’t sophisticated enough to be anything more than toys? Before they became strong enough to ruin schoolwork, media, and the art industry? I wish that I could return to that era, where we would - and could - only use them for harmless fun . . .
. . . In my defense, I wasn't expecting her to hit me with the Joey Fisher treatment.
Icelandic Waters: “These guys were one letter away from becoming the people who go through the fridge at 3:27am looking for string cheese to eat.“
Icelandic Water Dragon: “. . . that’s an inside joke, not a reference . . .“
We are so back! I’m sure that 65536 was tired of my jabbering, even if it was beneficial to the cause. I can’t even begin to recount what I’ve been doing while my favorite venting site went offline . . .
