Decided to get back into an "MMO" that I used to play the crap out of like 20 years ago called Well Of Souls. I was honestly shocked to see that despite the fact it was never really all that popular, 1. The site is still up for the game 2. The game actually actually runs without any issue in Win 10 3. The online features are still functional (though nowhere near as popular as it was back in the day). The game has aged well in the sense that it is every bit the same as it was…
Got some desk decorations for when we go back to the office in a week or two. Still not looking forward to going back, but it's out of my control. The work-from-home life was pretty good while it lasted.
Ayyy the rest of them came today!
Slipping in a real quick #FullAlbumFriday because I can lol. Here's a New-Wave/Synthpop album. It's gotten me through this week, so it's an easy pick. My fave songs off this one are "Cruel Game" and "All Away". Nouvelle Phenomene - Glory of Romance Rakrakan-O-Meter: [█████░░░░░] - Laid back, synthpoppy vibes https://youtu.be/T5LNg1YLvl0 The Vanzetti & Sacco remix of Cruel Game is 🤏 (chef's kiss) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbF45zMZsM4 #Music #FullAlbumFriday #Synthpop…
Got my kitties on display at work haha
Been a while since I did one of these... #DigitalArt
Another one for the collection. I used a WAY bigger canvas size this time... I think I'm gonna reel it back some - working with the larger canvas was kind of a pain, and I don't like how this one turned out compared to the other ones I've made.
Even though my office is about half the distance of my past one, adjusting to the office life has been so draining lol. The office itself is so hot and dry, too. I love that I get to see my colleagues again, though.
Re-upload. Removed a layer of grit - I think I like this one better, but let me know what you guys think! A or B "Watching the Heartrise over the Horizon"
So I've come up with a pretty decent setup for my consoles. So far it seems pretty good. Despite all the hops and conversions, I'm playing on my CRT with 0 lag. This is pretty hilarious with the number of steps it takes just to play the game on a TV, since w/o the stream I'd literally just be hooking the console straight to the TV 😂
What a wild few days lol. Too many notifications to go through, and probably still some missed. So, where have I been? lol Tuesday I got a Kickstarter that I backed like two years ago. It came in an absolute behemoth of a box, and in it is one of the most rad board games I've played to date AND it has a Solo mode! :O RETURN TO DARK TOWER! There were three boxes inside the main shipping box: Box one was the base game Box two was two layers of plastic minis to replace the…
...Continued... Then yesterday I got more mail! Shadowgate 64! I was stoked to play it. I love the shit out of this series - the NES version has been one of my fave games since I was a kid. I'm also 9th place on the Speedrun charts for it lol. I was really looking forward to playing this one yesterday, but I was so tired I ended up crashing around midnight. So I'm gonna pop it in and give it a play tonight instead. In other news, the guy that sits in the cubicle attached to…
Oh snap, I totally missed it - my 1 year on Noise was the 15th lol. WOO!
I cannot get enough of this tune 😍. It takes heavy influence from 80s synth pop and modern darkwave. Light Asylum - Dark Allies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNiKCRUpbqA The official music video for it is fantastic too, though the world has some kinda beef against the naked female chest, and despite the video being (in my opinion) art, I suspect that it probably wouldn't fly well with Noise's TOS, so I can't share it. Light Asylum are a 2 piece band out of New York -…
I was so knackered last night that I ended up in bed before midnight lmao. Got some nerd plans for tonight that I'm looking forward to diving into in a bit. I know what I want, I know what I have, but I'm not quite sure how to code it and wire it all up. I'm gonna figure it out, though!
Nerdlinging was a great success! Got it all wired up, and frankencoded the project I needed. Not totally sold on the temp sensor - it seems to only output whole degrees. I'll have to dig into the library later to figure out if there's a way to get more sensitive results. Essentially, it grabs the temperature and humidity of the room, then it lights up an LED each time it refreshes - the colour of the LED is determined by which range the temp falls into. It also outputs that…
Ok, so it's not an album, but rather a setlist/mix... This Darkwave set by Yami Spechie has been my soundtrack for this week. If you're into gothic 80s synth sound, you'll appreciate this one. Dark Wave, New Wave, Post Punk (Dance Mix ll) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opxGyrZavd8 Sorry for dropping the ball on #FullAlbumFridays. I think I should just kinda retire it. It had a good run, but since being back in the office, I'm more tired than ever - and not really having…
