Update on the game selling expedition I started earlier in the week! Games are already starting to fly out of my house. I've been listing GBA and DS stuff on eBay to great success. I try to be real thorough with my photos, everything someone would be looking for to avoid bootlegs shown clearly, checking sites to see what games are going for and trying to price them accordingly or slightly lower than the going rate, and it works! People think they're getting a good deal on a game in very nice Read more
The mixtape I put together for 2025 is now on YouTube! This is the first time any of my mixes have been publicly available for listening. The 2024 mix I did, I burned to some CD-Rs and mailed out to the Somnolians, most of whom don't have CD players. I have an alternate 2025 mix I had made before the trip seriously improved my spirits and brought back my optimism for a lot of things, and I think only dcb got a copy of it. I did drop a zip of this mix in Somnol, but it was over the holidays and Read more
(Brief aside before we begin: post on the group blog from the 13th! It's an overly-technical, highly obscure ramble about a program for getting better looking 8-bit paletted images, and yet another thing I found interesting from the PageMill CD-ROM.

The flipside to my dash over the past two years Read more
Was jonesing to get going on some more marfGH work, so I finished up a new custom last night. This is for one of Brad Sucks' more recent songs, "In Trouble", and you can watch the chart in action here. It came out real purdy. Love the light show on it, and I think the camera work is pretty sick too. All this to say—Volume 2 is in progress. Expect it by Christmas like the last one. What's not necessarily apparent from watching it is how much of what's in the video is not stock at all. Even Read more
I've been feeling better lately. I realized about the time I bought the tickets for this year's Wales trip (May into July!) that a lot of my immigration plans just started feeling out of reach, and a lot began to feel either pointless or off-limits. That's not the only reason things really fucking sucked for a bit—my cat died and my grandma is currently on her way out—but yeah. Easier to just play RetroAchievements sets all day. I've got more of a plan now for when I get back for the next Read more
