Here's some games I've been really into lately! (You'll notice basically all of this pertains to RetroAchievements, where I'm now in the top 7% of the site and hoping to get into the top 5% in the next few months.) Vib-Ribbon (PS1): Mastered this one's RA set, very challenging, very satisfying set. Those Silver courses are honestly harder and more annoying than the Gold courses, but you bet I nailed them. I also streamed a whole bunch of "customs" courtesy of the Somnolians (my first in over a Read more
Big real-world news of the now: I'm working on getting my passport! I have completed my DS-11 and I'm looking to get photos taken the first week of January. I think most people dread paperwork, but honestly doing the form gave me a weird kinda glee of officiality I can't describe. Having to gather all my information and get it filled out and filed really makes you feel like it's getting closer, something that I stopped feeling a long while ago, sadly. Then I just file everything at the post Read more
Well, I dropped the ball on the journal thing. It's not that there aren't a lot of really fantastic legitimate real-world goings-on in my life right now! It's that I also collapsed a bit under the holiday retail joy and not being able to finish anything out of a mountain of drawings and site pages. (I'll explain later, but archives will be eating really good in 2023.) And anyway, it's Christmas! It's a time to vibe, and I got a neat controller, so I just hunted for more RetroAchievements. So Read more
Y'know, it's not that I'm disinterested in the idea of journaling, it's just that I'm too busy either actually doing stuff or playing Tony Hawk or whatever to actually do it. Doesn't help that I've been kinda weirdly forgetful and all over the place lately? I tell people I have surprises for them after I told them what the surprise was two days prior! Just today, I've written a group newsletter, I'm writing this journal, I was sketching, I want to write a Scanimate blog post for the holidays, Read more
After having this site up two months, I have...an about page! I've started others, but they take more work. Everything being illustrated slows stuff down a lot, plus I'm working five days out of the week. But y'know what, I'm really happy with how things are shaping up. This site is turning out adorable. I'm gonna give that drawing of Cammy and Setter proper full colors and post it places because it's actually a pretty complex, experimental drawing for me and I'm proud of it and everyone else Read more
And that's it—for now. I've survived that freakish ten days of pain, the Alcopocalypse. Tomorrow I'm off. I celebrate with alcohol. (What else do I celebrate with?) I kinda wish wine wasn't so disgusting, because to be honest, the wine slosh hits different than the beer slosh. Wine is usually higher percentage, so one small bottle's all you need to get tipsy. I dig that. It's too bad it tastes like chlorinated pool water. We have so many different discontinued kinds of wine that I would Read more
Someone offered to work one of my shifts this week! That means I am thankfully off today and doing as much as I can to do not much of anything at all. I'm down six hours as a result, but 33 hours is still not far off from my old high of 35-37 hours or so and still probably a bit too much for what I'm actually hired to do, but that's okay, quite happy with this arrangement. One thing, months later, I still have yet to get right, is being able to balance working and hobby stuff. Forget big Read more
Well, I've gotten my schedule for this week, and it's fucking scary. I'm working 39 hours total, one day off (not even my usual day off, Thanksgiving), and Black Friday, I'm working a nine hour shift. Last night in general was a whirlwind of emotions. I got my schedule and that wasn't fun. I drank an alcoholic maple bacon slushie from the slushie machine and laughed my ass off the moment I took a sip (it is literally just drinking a sausage and it's the most bizarre thing I've ever tasted). The Read more
One last update on the Savannah stuff: she's officially on the top-level somnolescent.net with us! This kinda site really was meant for five people, and now we have a much, much better, much more excited and productive and cool-to-talk-to fifth person. Spot her all over the site! In the tree! Having a sleepover with us! Carrying a djungelskog! (She's also finally on the humans.txt, which I neglected to list her on earlier this year... Did I mention we have a humans.txt?) I've recently taken up Read more
Ah, fuck me, site stuff gets away from me so quick... Trying to pick up the pace on everything, kinda not doing too great. Kinda struggling with personal stuff. That's okay! Good things are happening. Still gotta finish the Setter cloud drawing. I had originally pegged it for a page on my computer-using history, but all the cool computers, I've gotten in the past 2-3 years. (So yeah, the links on the front page currently are all maybe-future pages. Just needed something to fill out the layout.) Read more
