Little minor update—I've gone through all my old streams and given them new thumbnails. Check it out: I've also gone through and standardized the descriptions, so they have proper lists of games, intro songs if present, and a link back to mari.somnol (gotta always be linking places, right?). It's a weird feeling, going back through these old streams and seeing all the names of people who popped in and I don't talk to anymore. Definitely some good times had on those streams, though; I'd like Read more
I've been playing too much Unreal Tournament Caby finally shipped over the games I bought in Wales! It was a lot of fun sitting and installing them to the eMachines Box from disc, punching in the CD keys, the whole ritual. It's not convenient, but neither is the eMachines Box. It's fun! I'm very happy that the eMachines Box actually offers a much better gaming experience than I initially pegged it for—just so long as those games are five years older than the box itself. As Caby said once Read more
Apologies for still being sporadic on the journal front! Not really been up to a ton a ton? I did finally finish the gigantic group drawing for five years of Somnolescent back on the 20th—which I should probably post more places because it's the first group pic I have ever done and completed and it came out really cute. There's a message from me on there too with some ideas for where we're going in 2024. Big thing is that I'll be streaming Vib-Ribbon again tonight at 7PM! Folks have been Read more
Hope everyone's September is going swell so far. I'm really keeping my head down and working a lot, and it's paying off. Customers dropping $2200 my store in one go tonight. My manager was impressed, and after I learned he's just hard to read and doesn't actually hate me, I've been a ton more comfortable in my job—and I mean, that's what you need in retail, to feel good and be able to chirp at customers. It helps that I'm a lot more excited about what I'm selling now than I was about Read more
I lied. I'm not conscious of saving money anymore. I've probably spent $200 on the 3DS eShop before it went down today, and $70 of that in the past week. Been squirrelling away some more games to play now that I'm in the mood for new ones. Have a list: HarmoKnight
Star Fox 64 3D
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Kid Icarus: Uprising (this one necessitated a quick upgrade to a bigger SD card)
Pokémon Picross (if you spent $30 in it, you get future Picrites for free, eShop being extent or not)
Yoshi and Read more
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
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
