ELECTION UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: the tallying duties have now been handed to the AMBIGUOUS MATTER ENTITY by order of the a
ELECTION UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: where the fuck am i
after getting through MOTHER and EarthBound, i spun up my old copy of Pokemon X, and i can’t help but feel Pokemon is more forgiving than most RPGs usually are
ELECTION UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: i am being blackmailed
ELECTION UPDATE UPDATE: the whole fucking building is gone now
ELECTION UPDATE: The Machine Oracle has fucking died trying to do the Macarena. Election tallying duties have been passed to 8 fennec foxes in a trenchcoat.
markdown has replaced my bbcode muscle memory and i don’t know if that’s good or bad
it’s only summer when i have to switch my compositor off to keep my computer from overheating
every time i beat earthbound, the final boss has not gotten any less u n c o m f o r t a b l e to complete.
aaaaaanyway moving on to mother 3 now since that’s been on the back burner since idfk
i wish i could go back to having one special interest at a time instead of 4 at once
shaved 40 or so seconds off an upload by connecting an sftp server to an ftp server by some 10-year-old looking file sync tool
small victories
absolutely worth it to be able to run these games at a higher resolution AND with a better controller
spent almost a full day dumping my 3ds cartridges and transferring my data to my pc and a good chunk of that was spent waiting. the SD read/write speeds are abysmal and ftpd boots my client off and then reconnects it a few seconds later when transferring large files
everything else was smooth sailing, though
i’d probably get better performance by running emulators on my pc, but that wouldn’t be as much fun
3 TRUTHS, NO LIES:
USELESS INFORMATION: so i’ve been jumping between vivaldi and firefox for the past few months and i’m still very indecisive
on one end vivaldi is chromium-based BUT has a ton of customization options and an integrated email/calendar/rss client
firefox isn’t chromium-based and the email/calendar/rss is fulfilled by nextcloud + freshrss that i’m self-hosting
so i’m still trying to figure out what i want
for a little while i was considering using zen again - it was essentially firefox with edge’s vertical tabs and collapse-on-hover (i really liked that part, but given it’s essentially a tracking mechanism for microsoft, i’m not giving edge much more consideration),
vanilla firefox now has vertical tabs and tab groups so zen is sort of useless to me (it is still a very decent browser, personal opinions aside)
i am indecisive and that is a problem
so i’ve wound up using an rss reader (freshrss running on my rpi) and rss-bridge to follow people on most “normie” social media sites and it’s much harder to get sucked into endless holes when all you see is the posted content from the people you specifically follow
