Chloroform Days - Cammy's journal from the end of the Multiverse

New Year's Eve marfGH stream!
December 30, 2024

Hey, I'm busy preparing art for the stream tomorrow and listening to Semisonic (life comes at you fast), but promise you'll be there? We'll be showing off marfGH features and brand new charts publicly for the first time ever, and I'll be doing it on my real PS2 with a guitar I've been practicing with for a couple weeks now. It'll be a real good time. Be there. Come hang out. Watch me barely be able to play Expert. Read more

The final hours of Last Summer
December 26, 2024

I have fallen way, way behind on the journaling thing—I'm starting to miss it. You know I had to serve on a jury last month, and I just didn't write about it? (I'm not going to, it was a pretty downer outcome to the case, not fun at all.) I've bought so many cool toys this past month, for me and for others, I still wanna recount my adventures in Quake II, I've got my feelings about the end of 2024 to write about! As happened last year, I'll be doing some daily, ideally smaller updates with Read more

The magic of MX4SIO
December 14, 2024

The Canada Post strike really disrupted me more than it probably should have. There was almost a year of building excitement for those Last Summer CDs, and all the time I spent drawing things for them, only to see the ones for Savannah and Connor freeze three days after I send them right along the border. Almost a month later and they still haven't moved. I had journal posts about putting it all together ready to go that I just wasn't able to post. I was gonna put the last dozen copies or so up Read more

The home stretch
November 01, 2024

You know, if you ever wonder why some piece of physical merch you special-ordered got delayed, just ask me. There are so many steps involved with just putting together a couple CDs for some friends, let alone getting a whole factory to make them, assemble them, and ship them out to the right places. I've had the cases assembled since August, but it's taken me until now to get all the drawings and stuff done, and now I'm also shipping my end-of-year mixtapes with them too, so that's actually two Read more

Some improvements for the album reviews
October 22, 2024

I had to do some bugfixing of my album reviews section this morning (had to do with artist altnames, which were still buggy), so I took the opportunity to lay some groundwork for some features I wanna implement and polish up some of what was already there. You see, now that I have over a hundred of these things and no intentions of stopping any time soon, I want to turn it from a simple "Cammy talks about albums" section into a way to turn people on to stuff they like outside of simply my Read more

The Kindle conundrum
October 15, 2024

Y'know, this is the kinda morning where I look out my window at a half-barren patch of trees and something just feels correct. I love familiarity. I think part of the reason I still blog about shit, even when no one else does, is because it's my little way to keep the mundanity of the Web I grew up on alive. I've been reading a lot about old Minecraft versions—perhaps I'll spend the day drawing and playing that. I own two second generation Kindles, neither of which work. They both have flat Read more

Cammy returns to GH2 charting!
October 13, 2024

This is a couple days old now, but I gotta post it here, it's big news! And I've been bored at work, and bored at work is ideal writing time. Two years to the day of my last Guitar Hero II chart demo video, I've posted another. It's for one of Connor's tunes off the self-titled MoriHime album I did a joke review of for my music recommendations sections, "Shooting Star". Check it out here. I'd do a YouTube embed, but I'm trying to be mindful of retro PCs that don't swing that way. A screenshot Read more

Abyss of Pandemonium
October 11, 2024

Summing up impel impel is funny. It doesn't officially count for a mission pack, and you can tell because it uses all custom textures that mimic the textures of the original game. This was common for unofficial paid expansions back in the day—you weren't redistributing id's stuff just because your levels worked with Quake, but the textures you use in a level get embedded into the level file, and if you're using id's textures, that is their property. As a result, Aftershock for Quake and the Read more

Dissolution of Eternity
October 10, 2024

Whoops! I meant to have this posted days ago! Sorry to leave you all hanging on the next installment of "Cammy reviews Quake mission packs", but such is life. I'm busy and I worked a nine hour shift today. Summing up rogue I was pleasantly surprised—I remember hearing from somewhere that Dissolution of Eternity was the one with all the annoying traps, but it was a pretty smooth playthrough throughout. hipnotic is definitely the objectively better pack, but rogue is fun too. One of the most Read more
