Out of curiosity, what is your relationship with your chickens at midnight? The last time I slept within earshot of chickens, it did not go well.
ENTRY 24.11.28.F - The Midnight Morning
I had a dream that, for some reason, some Apple moderation whatever had forcibly removed the Safari, Mail and Tesla apps from my iPad. (They profusely apologized for destroying my app layout for some reason.) Then, I received a notification on another device informing me of this redaction, accompanied by a rather disturbing ringtone. The notifications kept coming . . .
I woke up, and found that the ringtone was very much real! It kept intermittently playing outside my window. I can hear various implications that someone else is about, possibly also out investigating the matter. The roosters have started crowing. They sound somewhat distressed. I wonder if it was all them? They have been known to prematurely wake me up. Upon further listening, they do sound like unusually like the ringtone...
i have, in fact, repurposed this into an introductory thingy. (2025.07.03)
the name’s cyn if you weren’t already aware, and i am probably not going to visit this website again for a couple months. curse of joining websites just to forget about them, if i do say so myself.
yeah i am just plain inactive here. https://sosc.carrd.co ← this is my carrd and it contains all the other sites and whatnot that i use, notably the Actually Active ones (at the top).
i have nothing else to put here as there’s really no need to given the obvious inactivity
Icelandic Waters: “AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I don't care how dumb we both look; that thing is on patrol! Also, I don't feel like roughing her up a second time; it feels like it isn't worth the effort.”
Icelandic Water Dragon: “What's the technical term for the fear of an entity that slowly patrols your surroundings with relatively nefarious intent, and has the potential to spot you before you spot it? Because that's what I suffer from. Bonus adrenaline points if you can sometimes see its location on a map.”
Background: 4/10. The background looks like a blurred-out garden, which isn't exactly a bad thing, but it's not exactly going to win any awards for being interesting. It's just... there. Like elevator music, but for your eyes. I'm giving it a 4.
Props to ToastyRoast for inventing the phrase “elevator music for your eyes”.
Somebody needs to make a music streaming service specially made for music with multiple layers, such as the Rain World threat tracks.
Icelandic Waters #1: “There are at least two pieces of official Nintendo animated media in which a relatively large creature gets kicked in the eye by a smaller one. Can you name the other one?”
Icelandic Waters #2: *speaking to my hypothetical dad* “This seems like the perfect game for you to try and 100%. The best part is that you'd never need to run in circles or consult a guide, because you have your own personal bloodhound to- AAAAAAA NONONONONO NOT THAT ONE-”
Icelandic Waters: “ZEPPELIN!”
Icelandic Water Dragon: “I forsee some very inventive lightbulb-changing . . . wait, I forget what it was. Was it changing a lightbulb or reinventing the wheel? Whatever I used to describe the the four-Saint lift system.“
I was right to compare this title to Minecraft Legends, as there are plenty of mechanics that can be compared to it. I did manage to reach the end of the demo, albeit reluctantly. If I go at it again, I'll make backups through the third slot, so as to make sure I don't accidentally brick it again. I suffered a separate blunder when attempting to transport the Dandori trainer castaway. For starters, I didn't realize that my Pikmin were waiting for me outside the area, and stepped off the raised platform intending to retrieve more from the Onion. Realizing my mistake too late, I tossed Yellow Pikmin onto the island to retrieve the castaway, but they couldn't get them down. I forgot that I could use the Rewind Time feature to fix all this. Instead, I visited several sub-areas in search of enough Ice Pikmin to freeze the moat. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that they had to stay planted in order to keep the water frozen…
My two highlights both have to do with Oatchi. First, after rescuing Russel, you'll have enough pup drive to train him in Command Lv. 2, which lets you call Oatchi from any distance, or send him back to the base. Additionally, it lets you open your map and autopilot towards any accessible location. Second, using Y + Down, you can choose to control Oatchi directly, letting you do just about anything you can otherwise do. The NPCs at the Shepherd's camp also give unique dialogue if you speak to them while controlling Oatchi.
FACT: In 1993, the United States considered cryptosystems with keys larger than 40 bits as “munitions”, and required a license to be “exported”.

Out of curiosity, is it common knowledge that soft, tough materials become hard and brittle when supercooled? Nintendo has used it as a minor, non-tutorialized mechanic in some of their newer games, and I'm not entirely convinced that it should be treated as such.
I found a new runic language where I least expected one, and the data that I've harvested was very easy to infer by hand. This one is a layman's job to decode, even a sleepy one! However, no matter the drive, I'll have to sleep now. Goodnight!
P.S.: The observer and copper bulb aren’t part of the circuit; it’s part of the experiment that I was doing with it.
TRUE STORY: One day at the beach, I had brought a snorkeling mask. Seeing a wave of above average size, I decided to try avoiding it by ducking under it. I don't know how the fluid dynamics of waves works, but it ended about as well as installing a screen door on a submarine . . . or hiding from a tidal wave in an in-ground pool.
