What could possibly go wrong?

Google Play devs, anyone else received this email? It looks pretty dubious 🤔

Is Super Metroid on the SNES good or what?! I'm finally playing it for the first time and having a blast!

Here's the oil paintings I made 10 years ago after having just played it for half an hour or so. 😅

Another Metroid pixel oil paining; depicting the larva in its container on a blue background.
The previous painting but photographed from an angle with two brushes sitting on the finished canvas.

When I say I like to play the original #Tetris, this is what I mean 😅

Finished migration of my newsletter away from #Substack to @buttondown. It took a while going over every issue and scrub them clean of anything linking to Substack (e.g. mentions/links to previous issues, image links, etc.)

From now on, find The Pixel Prophet here:

Hilariously "lol" is an actual word in Dutch and it relevantly means fun.

"Wat een lol" = such fun
"Zij heeft er lol in" = she's having fun with it

Turns out Davinci Resolve (the video editor I've been using for 3 weeks now) has a bug that prevents it from saving your work.

I ran into this yesterday. I can't believe software this mature and this widespread is having such basic issues.

I found out I'm not alone from this forum thread: https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=165276

Thanks to everyone who listened to and bought my music on Bandcamp from http://sephcarissa.bandcamp.com cause there my cut is the biggest by far. Contrast my Bandcamp sales (80.5 €) with roughly the same amount of plays on SoundCloud, Apple Music, YouTube and Spotify combined (0.02 $)

Streamers analytics listing all time revenue by service: SoundCloud: $0.00, YouTube: $0.00, Apple Music: (blank), Spotify: $0.01. Total: $0.02

Today's stream happens in 7 hrs from now. Replicate yourself a cup of Earl Grey (hot) as we will take to the Neutral Zone with Spectrum Holobyte's #StarTrekTNG adventure "A Final Unity". We shall use the Force, Harry! 🖖

FFS! Opting out of #Dropbox selling my data takes 3 steps! All I wanted was secure, synced storage. The "Dropbox sells your data to OpenAI as training set" debacle makes me seriously consider other options. And I've been a paying customer for 10 years. This is unacceptable.

syntaxseed, 5 months ago to diy

I just finished the hardest home repair task of my entire life. 😵‍💫

#Electrical work is bonkers!

The hall light fixture hasn't worked in a while. I detached it from the ceiling but was left with only 3" clearance between the dangling fixture & the ceiling. Cramming my hands & neck to see & reach in there was almost impossible. I don't know how men with their larger hands, work within those bloody tiny electrical boxes.

Finally found & replaced the faulty (melted) wire. What a struggle!

Sitting in the dark, waiting for the power to be restored again, wondering when I last saved the file that was snatched from me. 😩

syntaxseed, 6 months ago (edited 6 months ago) to steam

A while ago I bought a Humble Bundle of #Steam games with female protagonists. I just finished #Sable which was fun and very chill.

And I've now started #Control which is also fun but very not chill and I almost raged my keyboard across the room after my 12th time dying on the first boss. 😆

Until I realized I can't just stroll through this game casually gunning things down and need to actually have some self-preservation instincts and a modicum of strategy. LOL.

It’s done! After 150+ hrs of work, I present to you: My HD Remaster of the Silent Hill 2 Making Of from 2001. I manually touched up everything to make it look as best as I could. Super proud! Good night, nerds!
