Thoughts Before Bed

Spent the evening tuning up the virtual arcade to use my arcade joystick.

Something I used to say when I was Miss Mortal Kombat 1996-1999 was that I may love video games, I'm actually not particularly GOOD at a lot of them. I've never made it past the second level in Tron. I often don't pass the first level of Pac-Man. I'm a sucker for Galaga enemies cornering me and killing me. I didn't finish Super Mario Bros 1 until 2009.

But I do love old video games. :)

Planning out the next week or so

IT STINKS!

Shower thought: An idea I'd had for a random thing to hang on a wall is an old recycled laptop display which silently plays Star Trek: The Motion Picture in slow motion over the course of a day or so and loops.

For as self-indulgent & ponderous the movie was, it was chock full of beautiful frames of sci-fi. Especially for 1979.

Also occurs to me that it would be neat to have running on a smartwatch as wallpaper, if I ever wore one.

Like, just imagine glancing at it from one random moment to another and seeing something like this, entirely removed from context or plot

Hey, we are "Head Cleaner" and this is our new album "Play Both Sides"

It's that time of year where I like to remind everyone that "relatives" and "family" aren't the same thing, nor need they be

Relatives are people you are related to

Family are people who love you

Maybe there's some overlap, maybe there isn't - there's no wrong answer here.

But whatever you do, try not to let your relatives make you feel like you owe them anything - because you don't

Relatives are a cosmic accident, family is a relationship found and built

Anyway, stay safe out there

@aesmael - The secret is to jump from really high towards the ground, and miss it.

Development files for Super Mario World contain graphics for an extremely cartoonish Piranha Plant with eyes. Below is a mock-up of how it could have appeared in-game.

To all my fedi friends who are attending thanksgiving with, shall we say, difficult family, godspeed. Gird your loins and go on the cousins walk 🍁if you can.
And if you're not seeing difficult family this year, enjoy your celebration ❤️
