Was on a very short mild mostalgia trip so here's two pieces of media from when I was a kid that are about an hour each

Coinbox Hero - Clicker flash game that's mildly like those interactive-buddy games where you gain coins by doing physical damage to the box. I'm not sure if there's any other clicker games that deal with physics rather than just regular mathematics. It's very simple though and all the spent shells accumulating on screen lag out the engine quick

Foster's Home for Imaginary friends - Destination Imagination - A very well made kids movie dealing with feeling unapreciated and fear of abandonment. I still remembered a lot of the scenes to this day. Craig McCracken makes such good shows. I think this was also made in flash, oddly enough

If I ever don't post for a really long time I'm either doing decently mentally well or just am very busy. or both

I didn't quite capture the same emotion of the original but I was really entranced by this old stock image. I wonder if this person is still around. I wonder what her life was like

There's a ton of abandoned golf courses and low income housing around where I'm staying. Stuff like trailer parks and small apartments just get flattened leaving the streets and such behind, which is kind of sad to see, rather than putting any funding into better housing.

The golf courses are nice though, I wish more of them would go out of business. They're so abundant that there's one right downtown that's not much more than a swamp with trails now, though physically it's much cooler to explore when the buildings are still standing

Why did no one tell me that some fabrics will melt in the dryer!!! My blahaj is singed and it fucked up some of my cool shirts!!!!
Actually almost felt like crying when I saw the blahaj like that

Took a bath today for the first time in like 10 years. put some ambient music playing on my kindle and just breathed and relaxed for a bit.

Earlier today got all dolled up to go to ikea and buy a shark. It's kinda nice to be able to go out wearing what I want. There's never really been a true self that I feel like, but I'm enjoying who I see in the mirror a lot more now

Riding a motorcycle is so fun. Accelerating make me feel like that one ghost rider gif. Cornering is so graceful it's like I'm a ballerina. Makes me go "Wheee!! yippie!!!" ridin around town on my bigass V-twin

This school year went by so fuckign fast it felt like only one semester. Maybe it'll feel more substantial next year when I'm taking less classes and have more free time in general.

Anyway recreated this photo last night and played poker with some friends. I don't know why I haven't been playing this instead of yahtzee all this time

While Dariabot only existed for like 4 hours the april fools bit this year was pretty good. The concept of an ai chatbot built into a coding ide is pretty funny, and they did a good job making her very condesending.

While she was still active I did manage her to make me a very nice animated elephant and some image effects, along with getting her to redesign my homepage to be a bit more to her liking. She called the red garish, that the indentation made her eyes bleed, and was generally confused with all my padding and spacing (trust me I am too.) I also find it funny that she opted to simply display some of my chance logos in a grid to get rid of all the javascript

My old desk that I had since high school had about had it. The screws have always liked to loosen themselves but a few weeks ago it had enough of the weight and I came home to it parallelogram'd. This fucked up the keyboard tray a li'l bit it was still usable, 'til about a week ago when I tried to lean on it to bend over and the tac welds on the front legs both snapped.

The secondhand stores either only had $30 desks that were worse quality than this one or $100 desks that were too big to fit. So. I made one

Wow taking 18 credits does not leave much time for anything else does it.
Also my friend and I watched Jin Roh. Very brutally real. The animation was nice too

Y'all remember Nitrome? Probably some of the best flash games out there. You can still play some of their games in html5 and they still do some larger projects, but I kinda miss the Nitrome I'd come home from school to on my parents' computer. You used to be able to find l'il easter eggs in the games that'd unlock wallpapers and such for the site. Story chains in the comment box and only ever finishing a few games due to the difficulty spike. I played 40 levels worth of Nitrome Must Die on new years with a friend, way more than I was ever able to get to as a kid on my own, and hopefully we can finish it sometime soon.

Also, not Nitrome, but did anyone else play Snailiad? Probably the only metroidvanias I've completed. Even got me into making nes music with a tracker for a bit. For a while there too I was hopeful for when Snailiad 2 was gonna drop on newgrounds lol. Thorgle borgle

It's almost new years now so I thought I'd share the songs I listened to the most

Nothing I use has anything that tracks this, so here's the hundred or so songs I deemed good enough to throw on my walkman

I added and removed a few songs since this screenshot but I still think this is a pretty comprehensive summary for the year
