TIP: when programming in SwiftUI, never forget that the ZStack view function exists. It may turn out to be more important and useful than you think!
ENTRY F - Close Calls
I had a dream that I was playing TLoZ:TotK . . . in Rain World's expedition mode. The menu listed two open save slots; one Artificer expedition, labeled "Pursued", and one Hunter expedition, labeled "Remembered". There was also a Spearmaster slot and a completely empty spot, but I assume those were unopened files. I started the Artificer file. I woke up in a skull rock near a bridge and a stable. At the very start, the scavengers had already caught up with we. I hitched a ride on a conveniently placed horse and went on my way. I was planning ahead for a Lynel in the way, so I think I was traveling west, on the road that leads to the Lanayru Road's east gate. However, if that were the case, then I would be on Mount Lanayru, which I clearly wasn't!
When I reached my destination on horseback, I had arrived at a building, which was some sort of living space-treasury combination? The house comprised of rectangular rooms connected by sliding glass doors. There were people living there. In my time there, I saw a few art installations in the building, as well as some clothes on display that I liked and might have worn, if the house's permanent residents and my parents weren't watching me from an adjoining room through the sliding door. And thank goodness I didn't, knowing what happened the last time I tried on clothes in a dream . . .
I have completed Gourmand’s campaign! I would've gotten the food quest ending as well, if that Aquapede hadn't sunken. Here's how the numbers turned out in the end:

FINAL RANKING SCORE: 2056I spent so much time making this unnecessarily detailed wallpaper for my iPad (which has not arrived yet) that I decided that I didn’t have time to make more for my five other focuses, which I will probably never see anyways.

Today is my birthday, but as with all my recent birthdays, I have it set up as a very minimal one. I have a new iPad coming to replace the one with the overgrown battery. I'm going to catch up on the software update news that I missed due to owning an outdated device.
I'm going to need to make new wallpapers . . .
The time is 5:40am, and I have a dream to share. I'll include paragraphs some other entries to have it make more sense.
ENTRY C - Just Scrape It Off . . .
During the call, I pried the case off the iPad and discovered that the case had bent the front glass. At the end of the session, I tried to repair it using tape. (Rule of thumb: if you see me carrying the tape reel, I'm trying to improperly fix something.) The adhesive was next to breaking, but the tape is also technically adhesive, so . . .
ENTRY E - Popcorn And Progression II
It turns out that the reason why the iPad's front glass was bent wasn't because of the case, but because of the battery. I've long noticed the severe degrading in battery capacity, but I never thought it was anything extreme. It turns out that the battery is literally expanding as its capacity decreases. Getting a new device is not out of the question.
ENTRY F - Breaking At The Seams
I had a dream about my unstable iPad. In the dream, the iPad itself gave the indication that the battery was becoming a problem. Due to the lack of an audible notification sound, I provided it myself. I ran out into the main rooms and showed my dad the warning message. I turned off the iPad. He later said something along the lines of "well, looks like I'll be visiting Twopenny", which he later explained was a store that he seldom visited.
I tested the Markov chain’s new data . . .
join at lafayette but it i went home and paralysis which will go down
in rain world's script was the room i never posted anything on an
ancient forest fox they still checkpointed in today's entry i shared
it was just barely out before watching the camera zoomed in rain world
scenario then became a patch of scone which stated that there's a
parody or not they still checkpointed in a slugpups-per-player rule
would have a chance to dreams directly or not accumulate being forced
to final hours i did some sort of gourmand's food tracker that there's
a dream involving some sort of me to make something new arc of calling
it then became a tloz:totk-style shrine as the artisan thread to final
hours i remembered a pesky dropwig and schedule also encountered a
potentially useful thread directory adding the rain world however i
checked as intended when playing a yt link from industrial complex
traveled through a very large pile of outright ignoring it i
figured out before my sister and my second dream involving some work on a
common theme is there were moving parts and it with moving parts and
met up with moving parts and pebbles the artisan thread to the style
of wall is stop with a shelter blocked off by adding the icelandic
waters have decided that it be possible translation of the way to
learn the same material as intended when playing a slug-cat hybrid i
did some of the next quirk layerI loaded the Markov chain with data from some of my recent journal entries. Here’s some more content that came out of it:
-=-=-=-
a third slugcat traveling through an unknown region it had marie the
colubrine sector thread to force eject it had a karma indicator i was
a relatively short period of blank chain in
-=-=-=-
a karma gate while the chainValues array when i panicked a slugpup
aside from there! i've read that would add up with

that there's a scenario then became a very bad idea
-=-=-=-
pile of them worried among themselves about mobile suit baba could it
turned into a farm arrays variant filled with a cap of them being
actual slugpup aside from there! i've read that the colubrine sector
thread directory adding the code into a variant filled with moving
parts and all files intact phew
-=-=-=-
a player following the form of repetitive rain world scenario then it
earlier today so when i had marie the stick i did some reason napoleon
and another slugcat taking place in Swift I made of a slugpups-per-
player rule instead that limit was exploring the reader to each player
disguised as a little however i had a chance to saint and lafayette but
it had a little however i did some sort of repetitive rain world
scenario then it earlier today so when i reloaded the relationship
between

I finished making the Markov chain that I mentioned in my previous post. I would share it, but I don’t have a good medium by which to share it. However, it works.

sitting in the drink fell and there was peace on
or not the following are the dumpling shaftI’m trying to program a Markov chain in Swift. This is what the model training code looks like. In spite of me not being particularly good with Swift, it seems to hold up in testing, putting the right values in the chainDict and chainValues arrays.
func trainModel(input: [[String]]) {
var previousWord: String? = nil
for sample in input {
for word in sample {
if JRContains(list: chainDict, query: "\(word)") { // If the word is already in the chain's data...
if previousWord != nil { // If there is a word to chain this word to...
chainValues[chainDict.firstIndex(of: previousWord!)!].append("\(word)") // Chain previous word to new word
}
} else { // Otherwise...
chainDict.append("\(word)") // Add word to dictionary
chainValues.append([]) // and add a new chain pool
if previousWord != nil { // If there is a word to chain this word to...
chainValues[chainDict.firstIndex(of: previousWord!)!].append("\(word)") // Chain previous word to new word
}
}
previousWord = "\(word)"
}
previousWord = nil
}

[RWA → Saint’s Campaign]
ENTRY F - Saint’s Followers
I had a dream that I played a simpler mobile version of Rain World. However, I stumbled upon a secret: if you waited in a certain room in Farm Arrays, you would encounter a pink-ish slugcat ghost, who would pick you up and ascend you themselves. Due to the Icelandic Waters wandering, the ending cutscene instead showed a Minecraft-style pig getting eaten by worm grass. Later on in the dream, I saw a description of the file that said something along the lines of "Being a pig, getting eaten by a plant comes too close to home". However, not only did this count as a win for the purposes of unlocking Hunter's campaign, but it also unlocked [MSC SPOILERS]. I was over the moon . . . until I woke up.
[RWF → *Moon Noises*]
ENTRY C - Rivulet Training Exercises
I got the idea to start a new Monk campaign, and play it normally . . . until we come to the Remix settings. To facilitate quick progress, I've set the rain timer multiplier to 0.7, resulting in - by my calculations - cycle times of 6 to 9 minutes. It's not quite as harsh as the cycle times that Rivulet had to put up with, but it's certainly tighter than Monk's normal 9 to 13-minute cycle times.
By letting all retentions go, I met up with [LTTM] in a mere 11 cycles. Things got a little rough in Shaded Citadel, as there was a shelter that showed up on the map as an icon, as I had entered the room it was in, but wouldn't show where its entrance was, as I hadn't actually seen it. However, I found it, fended off the impending rain, and went on my way.
I selected a slightly more orange color for Monk in this campaign. If this run ends without me feeling like it was hard enough, I'll try another run at a timer multiplier of 0.6 or 0.5, with an even oranger color.
You know your fixation with Rain World has hit a tipping point when you start developing a subconscious hunger for centipedes.
I had a dream that I was playing TLoZ:TotK and talking to a survey team member who traded maps for information. For some reason, I think I was looking for . . . centipedes?
The dream switches to my family exploring the beach outside of a vacation house. There was a pile of rocks, which my sister said she had navigated through many, many times. Later on in the dream, I was stealthily awake late at night, and was watching a strange video. [censored section] Up to this point, I had been constantly pausing and unpausing the video out of nervousness. Upon seeing this, I just switched channels.
The next video returned to the TLoZ:TotK map/centipede hunter scenario. For some reason, it was also possible to see and COLLECT UNDISCOVERED KOROKS from a certain selection map. After cheesing a Korok this way, some sort of wolf ominously showed up in the background. I don't remember what turn of events happened, but Link (the dream's perspective switched to third person here) joined forces with the wolf and started being pursued by some oversized person. The wolf also ate a centipede somewhere along the line. The oversized person somehow summoned a Daddy Long Legs to fight Link and the wolf, so the wolf spat out a hairball (I know that this is something that cats, not dogs, do, but the Icelandic Waters don't care) and turned it into a Hairball Long Legs!
Last month, I transferred most of my files to a USB stick, in an attempt to physically protect my data. Today, I got the idea to go in the opposite direction and plant TXT files in the places with unsecured files, containing messages meant to subliminally steer attention away from the sensitive data that I had to leave behind.
I’ll consider sharing them once I finish writing them.
