Just a minor note, the latest update to Mitrasphere has added an Adventurer's Guild, as seen in every cliché but amusing fantasy anime & game. So much better than just face-grinding mobs, there's a task board of mobs to face-grind (and other tasks sometimes, probably not including walking dogs). I don't necessarily play a lot … Continue reading "Mitrasphere Adventurers Guild"Read More »

So, I'd heard enough chatter about Fear Street to wtach it. New slasher flicks are rare enough. What I didn't realize is these are based on R.L.Stine books, which I have never read (obviously). So for the first two movies, 1994 and 1978, I was baffled. Are these comedy horror? There's almost no jokes; only … Continue reading "What I'm Watching: Fear Street"Read More »

I went to do a little code maintenance on a couple utils I'd written in FreePascal, and they wouldn't build. For a couple years, FPC just didn't work on 64-bit Mac OS, but they finally fixed that. Current fpc 3.2.0 is in MacPorts, I'm not sure what the state of Lazarus is, I quit using … Continue reading "FreePascal Building"Read More »

Routinely I want to open the Chez Scheme REPL in my code dir and load my standard libraries; I've been copy-pasting from a Stickies to get my setup each time, because you can't easily set a common prelude from command line. Finally solved that. In ~/bin/scheme-repl, I put: #!/usr/bin/env expect -f log_user 0 cd "$env(HOME)/Code/CodeChez" … Continue reading "Script the Scheme REPL with Expect"Read More »

Mitrasphere official site Another of Crunchyroll's translated gachapon games. This one's: All PVE, mostly co-op but you can solo most things, casual/free-to-play friendly (no PVP rankings to keep up with!). The art's very cute anime paper-doll style (like Another Eden, or Crunchyroll's previous, DanMachi Memoria Freese), the music's lovely. You run a single character, the … Continue reading "What I'm Playing: Mitrasphere"Read More »

Netflix animation mashing up Godzilla, Jet Jaguar (!), Scooby Doo (Mei is such a Velma it's… whoo; and Barbell is Freddy, and if the other nerd isn't Shaggy I dunno who is). "Haunted" house, weird signals that sure sound a lot like the Mothra fairies, renegade electricians, giant flying monsters, and it gets more so … Continue reading "What I'm Watching: Godzilla Singular Point"Read More »

So, Nimbus. Goddamned Sub-Mariner wrecking homes and, uh, having his own solution to surface cops. So, are cops fish in this? Fish was a cop, so why not… Casual reference to "destroying mermaid puss" from the Ricklantis Mixup episode, which has never made sense since human-top mermaids don't have… anyway. But what I want to point … Continue reading "Rick & Morty S5"Read More »

Minor notes on customization, all files are in Preferences > Browse Packages. I fixed Dracula to be a little more pit of utter darkness: UI: Customize Theme, file is User/Default Dark.sublime-theme: // Documentation at https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/themes.html { "variables": { "base_hue": "black", "base_tint": "#99ddff", "ui_bg": "#222222", "text_fg": "white", "sidebar_bg": "#111111", "sidebar_row_selected": "#666600", }, "rules": [ ] } … Continue reading "Still Fixing Sublime"Read More »

Just started, dunno how long. They did 3 seasons and cancelled, so now I know I can actually watch the whole thing without 'flix cancelling it on me. Watched first two eps. Plane flight from Jamaica to NYC vanishes, lands 5.5 years later without time passing inside, nobody mentions Langoliers. They start having auditory hallucinations … Continue reading "What I'm Watching: Manifest"Read More »
