Making lunch today, I remembered a cover/arrangement of a song they composed that I had worked on years ago but never finished, and was whistling and improvising some variations on it...

Maybe someday I'll finish it for them...

Thinking today about a friend I haven't spoken with for a fairly long time now... They were a wonderful musician and programmer, but haven't had much online presence for quite some time now...

injury 

Idiot me somehow dropped my razor while I was shaving, and it caught on my fingernail and sliced half of it off... Thankfully we had a first-aid kit nearby, because it was bleeding pretty badly x.x

It hurts so badly to type or pick things up ;~; and I don't know how long it will take to heal...

It was kind of a shame that even the partial eclipse that could have been visible this morning was completely blocked by clouds... but it still looked wrong somehow outside, even with cloud cover.

I've been looking out my window all morning, and everything today just looks ... off. I don't know how I can better describe it...

Oh, I guess I didn't need to worry about watching the eclipse anyway... It's thunderstorming today, so I can't see anything but clouds...

I couldn't ever stream myself making games or music, because I get distracted far too often. >.>;;

This is the only textbox that uses this code right now, but at least I know it would work for any of the large dialogue boxes. They just mostly aren't translated yet...

@Irick Trying to write an English-text function for Itadaki Street 2 (a Japanese SFC game) and having interesting adventures in how you shouldn't write 65816 code >.>;;;;;

Made broiled steak skewers/kabobs with onions & peppers for dinner, and rice on the side

Everybody here seems to have liked it, so I guess it was a successful meal...! ^.^

Just realized a way I could simplify the variable-width font code I've been working on, but it requires recompressing the entire font and reinserting it into the ROM...

I might have to write functionality into my tool that lets me download a binary blob of the compressed font so I can just directly insert that instead of typing out 2KB of hex directly. >.>

I guess I'm going to bed now; goodnight, everybody

And, thank you for your support... ^^;;; I didn't think anybody would really be interested in anything I did... so thank you all for showing me that you are 💖

Oh, that's weird... One line of dialogue in Itadaki Street 2 has a character that seems corrupt. Specifically, it tries loading a 1bpp 12x12 character from $8B:4DC9, which is way out in RAM...

I don't know if this address has any valid data when/if this text is normally loaded in-game, but no other text uses this value or any similar value, and any other text that uses a variable from RAM uses a control code and has special handling for it.
