wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!

Oooh yes

A famicom disk system and a crt, displaying the legend of zelda

Also apparently some famicom models don't work nicely with a disk system??? the sprite graphics are all corrupted
I soldered a hand made register array on the disk system ram adapter's data line, looks very sketchy but that fixed the issue

Mario and 1-up mushroom, both look corrupted

White panel divided in half. One side is labelled "Designed with gamers in mind", and the other is "designed with activisits in mind". The box art for The Ooze has been pasted into both sides.

Here's a collab tune I made with Autumn Brushtail/ @icedragondee.bsky.social back in 2021!

It's all done with OPL FM patches programmed in OpenMPT

As a Japanese I consider myself pretty good at reading in English but still can not read programming manuals or tutorial books
Words just become a jumble of symbols after reading for 30 minutes

I'm still undecided if I should release this on github, it's very messy and I'm kinda embarrassed

Kei01g @kei01g.bsky.social · 7d

Sigh I'm very frustrated because there are so many things to worry about, what kind of terminal that user is using, does config files for the terminal exist, what's the brightness of the default terminal, is the default desktop theme dark or light

Kei01g @kei01g.bsky.social · 7d

Ough I think I finally made this automatic terminal theme switching vim plugin work

I didn't know that jenkka was from Finnish, I always assumed it was a Japanese song

Kei01g @kei01g.bsky.social · 7d

I don't know if we still do this but I remember our classmates danced jenkka during the school trip campfire when I was in elementary school
We also danced mayime mayime which is a folk dance from Israel

Oooh new idea for my knitting project

Jade ➡️ BLFC 🎲 @cupsofjade.bsky.social · 14d

thinking about the odd aesthetic parallels between Diné weaving and Atari graphics. wonder why the two different media end up relying on similar geometric shapes

I checked the source of fastfetch and how it detects the terminal currently using and turns out it's kind of similar to how I'm doing!
It's reassuring to know that what I'm doing isn't stupid and cursed :]
