Apparently my developer account will be deleted in 60 days if I don’t fix games that don’t need fixing so I can stay on the Play store and not sell anything anyway.

@nivrig hah. I've been trying to delete my account for years without success, and now they finally deleted it with threats of "we are going to do it". 🎉

About time 😂

Matodon search is a bit useless,. isn't it? I can't even find my own posts.

@Tijn it may be that; can't find anything -- may be I can try in a different instance 🤔

New trend in my inbox: Getting spammed with offers for doing sponsored videos about robotic vacuum cleaners. Probably because I use a (regular old school) vacuum cleaner in some of my videos to dust off old computer parts. Sheesh.

Discord on my old Mac just updated itself to a version my computer can't run 🙃

reidrac,
@reidrac@social.sdf.org avatar

@Tijn don't they have a web version? I mean, isn't discord an Electron app or whatever?

I don't use discord but I know enough to not like it. Yep, people choose whatever they want for their communities, but that doesn't make it good.

Recently I offered myself to do some testing. I don't have discord, we can use email... cool, download this from Dropbox and required auth. I don't have account and I don't want one 😅 It felt wrong having to apologise for that. Yep, people's choices.

@reidrac@social.sdf.org avatar

@Tijn well, I don't have a problem with that. Life is too short to be forced to do stuff I don't like because the majority 😅

You know. When it was Windows or GTFO, not so long ago.

    Fixed the animation importer. Lots of stuff is actually working to get it this far, and not really much changed in the code apart from platform things. I had to recompile SGDK to boost the stack space though.

    I'll need to look at how to implement the background tiles and if it can be done in a way the fits into the MegaDrive's not-mega memory. I think there's about 4Kb spare with the smallest dungeon size 😬

    @nivrig can't you have that in ROM? Not an expert, but on the MSX the ROM was great for that, and I used like 4kb of RAM at the end.

    Is not COVID. Still sucks balls, and not in a good way if you know what I mean.

    What is this room? Is that a constellation? May be a clue to find the Heart of Salamanderland?

    I don't know, but find the 9 Tears of The Guardian and come back to this room to find out!
