It's finally starting to get warmer around here, it's pretty much the end of May and it's finally starting to feel like Spring hehe xux

On the bright side, it might soon be consistently warm enough that I can start wearing my dress

I mean, Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi are all you really need

I know someone IRL who did the same thing with her Joy-Cons, except she used the purple version of this shell (and she didn't replace her d-pad), it looks very pretty hehe

regardless, the site design was very sober and 2000s-style, simple but functional. way refreshing compared to the typical e-commerce site and its shitload of "WE USE COOKIEZ!!!!!1" "PLZ SUBSCRIBE NEWZLETTER!!!!!11" "WE HAVE TRACKING UP THE WAZOO BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE THE COLOR OF YOUR ANAL PROBE!!!" "[checked by default] I AGREE TO RECEIVE EMAIL SPAM ABOUT SUPER DUPER PROMO OFFERINGS" "PLZ GIVE FEEDBACK!!!!!!" etc.

rest in peace, qhi.co.uk

God, that sucks so hard (the bigots getting it shut down I mean), really annoying to hear about that :c

Got myself a new mechanical keyboard, the Redragon K551 (there's options with backlighting, but I got the non-backlit model)

It was cheap (only around CAD$45) and has Outemu Blue switches (a clone of the popular Cherry MX Blue switch)

I mostly got it as a change of pace from my usual keyboard, the Logitech G710+ with Cherry MX Browns, and it seems pretty nice so far

I'd really like to get a new laptop within the next few months, something under $600 preferably

I'm not too picky about specs, but hopefully I'd like to get something that's half-decent, though really I'm just looking for something to replace my crappy aging Chromebook TuT

Sonic the Hedgehog, except that the way angles affect momentum and jumping is reversed (so that you go faster uphill)

This turned out to be rather simple (well, the walking bit, I can't wrap my head around how the jumping would work while still making it possible to jump from flat ground) so I did it. Here you go. It's.. an interesting experience.

Lmao omg this is exactly what I wanted, thanks a bunch hehe

I'm having trouble getting through the first autospin tube in Green Hill because I keep decelerating down it, this really is an interesting experience hehe

Posted on 09-16-21 09:44:24 PM, in Is it too early to jump on the 2160p bandwagon? Link
In the future, I'd kinda like to upgrade to a 4K monitor for clarity reasons once they become affordable and commonly available in smaller sizes, I've currently chosen to refuse to go 1440p at all since I don't want to deal with fractional UI scaling and I don't want the UI to get any smaller than it already is at 1080p (I'm okay with fractional UI scaling on secondary devices like my laptop, but I wouldn't want it on my desktop PC)

Honestly, I feel like HDR's a much more important thing than sheer 4K resolution (for gaming and movies of course), but HDR10 and such is only really a thing on 4K displays, we have a decent HDR TV in our living room (I'm glad my family split some of the cost though, especially since I'm not the only one who uses it), and while I really love the HDR brightness range and color depth, the sheer number of pixels is completely unnecessary from couch distance, I can barely even tell the difference from 1080P from the distance, I wish there were 1080p HDR displays and especially monitors tbh

Also, even though I mentioned wanting a 4K monitor, I don't care that much about that resolution, I just kinda hate that it's a pain for scaling, honestly I'd definitely prefer fewer pixels so that games are easier to run, especially since I currently have a high-refresh monitor and some games (particularly shooters) feel a decent bit nicer running higher than 60Hz, one nice thing though about 4K is that certain GPUs can actually integer-scale a 1080p image up to it, so you can just straight-up use it like a sharp 1080p monitor if you want to for performance reasons or anything

It seems we now live in a time when "8K" is being given a similar marketing treatment to 4K, except 8K is definitely faaaar less important, to the point of being honestly complete nonsense for it to exist, because lets face it, nobody can see the pixels on their 4K TVs as it is (unless they sit ridiculously unnaturally close just to prove a point), so 8K is way too far into diminishing returns to make any sense, especially now but even general... I can't see 8K ever being a thing that takes off in the consumer space for TVs and monitors given how much it costs for such little added quality, but I guess I could always be proven wrong

Posted on 09-16-21 09:55:02 PM, in Smartwatches?! Link
I recently got a TicWatch E3 because my previous smartwatch (the LG G Watch, one of the first Android Wear watches) completely died last month, and I wanted something that still ran Wear OS for familiarity reasons, and because I recently finally got a bicycle so I actually have reasons to use a smartwatch again

It helps that they're making a new major Wear OS version that's releasing next year for non-Galaxy Watch 4 watches which should hopefully improve things a decent amount, and this is one of the only watches getting it

It really bugs me though how Wear OS has gotten so much more annoying to use than its earlier versions, one of the main things being how they clearly copied Apple with a lot of their UI features and general UI density... the original Wear OS versions had a focus on quick vague interactions, which meant basically one touch target per screen and swiping to navigate to different actions, it made it really easy to do quick actions in a much more convenient way than just pulling out your phone, and with wrist gestures you could literally do things one-armed without even touching the watch, which was useful if your hands were full

Google has a weird and annoying history with UI design, which bugs me to no end since they've also made some of my absolute favorite UI design, with watches having used to have a nice lil niche that they've seemingly dropped in favor of "phones, but smaller" because that's how Apple does it

Posted on 09-16-21 10:08:43 PM, in Cheapest possible internet browsing system? Link
I recently grabbed a cheap 2010 netbook off eBay and have been seeing what kinds of sites I can run in modern Firefox on a mostly barebones Arch Linux+LXDE installation, it works rather well for light sites, though anything modern and bloated will slow the entire thing down, with Discord basically freezing up the entire thing (thank god for native third-party apps like Ripcord though, Ripcord runs great)

I really like using the thing though, it's nice to see it breeze through sites like this one, though it's unfortunately mainly a novelty since a 2010 Atom CPU really is that bad for modern tasks

Here's a pic of the thing (also pictured: my main laptop under it):

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl came out yesterday and I've been playing it a lot, it's pretty light on content but they make up for it with really fun and solid gameplay

I've been having a lot of fun with it, it's a very nice Smash-like fighting game at its core (though it does have its differences from Smash)



Edit: Oh, uh, ignore that visual glitch in the GIF, I've only ever seen that happen once

You know, those 88x31 images that every website used to use to link to their friends (though, I'm sure you all know that since you're all older than me anyway lol)

Just wondering since I'm remaking my website with a 2000s style to it, and I'd love to link to Jul with a badge like that

Been playing a lot of VR lately, at the expense of my non-VR games of which there's multiple I need to get around to finishing lol

I've mainly been playing Pavlov and Grapple Tournament, I love the gun mechanics in the former but I love the latter for being a pretty decent modern VR take on arena shooters like Unreal Tournament, though it does admittedly make me sick sometimes hehe

New layout for myself! I've been wanting to replace it for a while because it was kinda ugly, but I never really had any ideas... luckily though, I just made myself a brand new website, so that easily gives me a style to go for with my post layout hehe

I spent a few hours tweaking this to perfection, which is silly since I've been working on my website all week and I need a break now lol

Okay I have to argue with the original post, if a sandwich has to have a non-bread filling, then the toast sandwich wouldn't count as a sandwich, and would you really say that the toast sandwich isn't a sandwich?
