I think I'm gonna follow along with https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoQsV1On1wnbGn705cf_9Gw and listen to every single Super Nintendo and Super Famicom soundtrack in existence.

I've already tried this once before, but it was in fits and starts and I accidentally clobbered the playlist I was using to keep track of my favourites. This time, I might have a shot at getting through it! Expect to see some posts from me along the way. I will probably start tagging them as #SNESmusic and then eventually forget to.

Okay, time to admit that I'm not doing to be able to do design work sitting here at the café. Heading to the grocery store to at least get that errand done so I can justify playing more videogames. *sheepish grin* I'll try again on design stuff later today.

While I'm on the topic of gaming:

Hands (or whatever) up if you feel like your gaming instincts and reflexes have dulled over the years despite playing videogames as much as ever.

Cheevos!

If you enjoy emulator-based retrogaming, and you enjoy earning persistent and externally-visible achievements for accomplishing in-game goals, then take a look at:

I'm there as http://retroachievements.org/User/ElectricKeet but I only just started really using the site a week ago or so. The nice thing is that you can use emulation save-states to help and still earn the cheevos... but you can set the emulator to "hardcore mode" which just means playing like on a console, no tricks.

But in the meantime, I really just wanna keep banging my head against _20XX_ until I figure out how to play it worth a damn. Or I can keep getting lost in _Metroid: Rogue Dawn_ (a total conversion of _Metroid_) or the like.

Meanwhile, Hollow Knight languishes, despite being a more nourishing experience. See? I can't even choose what to play worth a damn!

Ah well. Such is the life of attention-span-related disability.

Part of me wishes I were good enough at any aspect of videogames to meaningfully contribute by playing them, but the truth is, I'm not actually that much of a gamer.

Really, I think I'm just sort of flailing, looking for something that impassions me enough that I can let that passion sustain me during the hard-work parts of making it useful, and nothing does that for me right now, not in a sustainable way.

I'll just keep telling myself that it'll get better. I'll keep trying.

Yesterday, I did a lot of house cleaning and other such, then relaxed with some videogames... but pretty much kept playing right into the evening. Despite the overall productivity, I was kind of disappointed in myself for all the "slacking off".

This morning, I thought, "Hey, I'm up, I'm awake, I feel decent, I'll go get breakfast and get some useful stuff done!"

...but really, I kinda just want to play videogames. *shrug*

tired: panties, briefs, etc.
wired: crotch cozies

Explains a lot, doesn't it?

Today was another day of feeling like I got nothing done... then, later in the evening, looking back and realising that I actually did quite a bit – and without focus meds, only a cup of coffee early in the day.

I'm not where I want to be as far as creative pursuits, but I'm getting there.

Turns out, the most difficult step in making crispy rice treats is opening the bag of cereal without splitting it wide open and sending three-quarters of them scattering all over the kitchen.

Hunh. 🤷

Upon trying to log in to the itch.io app, I get captchas that are all busywork puzzles... and no matter how many I complete, it never lets me through. Additionally, if I click on the little audio icon to try a different method... I get a message telling me that I might actually be an automated system.

Come on, folks. Mechanical Turks wanna play indie games too!

Step 1: Learn to use the "favourite" star to signal to friends that even though you don't have the opportunity or the words to reply, you saw their toot and want to offer support!

Step 2: Turn off "favourite" visibility in the notifications column so you never see this in action yourself....

Step 3: wait that's not what I

Step 5: WHY NO STARS

Step 4: halp

Step ?: Oops! Fixed it. People love me again!

Step 7: Now you can pick up anything!

I may have scheduled poorly.

Here's hoping this tongue-numbing dental anaesthetic wears off within the next ninety minutes, 'cause I'm supposed to spend the next fifty minutes after that talking.
