Just remembered my very first programming experience. NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 stored all its car models with .ini files in a cars/ folder. This INI files had things like acceleration rate and max speed defined per vehicle. You could just edit them. I won every race 😤

Today in: video games I’m horrifically late for: Shadow of the Erdtree! Fucking FINALLY.

Found mine! Behold! 🥳 My drawings and designs, inspired by Ocarina of Time. Not sure on how old I was. 🤔 They're in two different booklets, and the item drawing style is more advanced in one of them. About 6 is my best estimate, as this would coincide with when I first got to play the game.

This was probably something like early 1998, post Warcraft 2, pre-Ocarina of Time. I would have been about 10. I consider it my first game design document xD

Also this may be yet another failed attempt, but since I've spent a lot of time recently promoting my wife's art business (btw, go buy stickers from https://kyoti.art) maybe I can also be a bit more active again on socials myself.

Anyone ever have this thing where your brain is like 3 paragraphs ahead of the words that are coming out of your mouth and then you stumble over your words like an idiot? It's been happening /a lot/ recently. 🙃

My wife is starting an art business! 🎨 A story of how you can just do things. In November last year Jowi and I went to @ViennaComicCon on a date. We wanted to see the nerd scene of Austria in one place We also found the "Artist Alley" where people sell their arts & crafts ✨ 1/

I now officially disqualify for any sort of youth discount whatsoever in Austria. I'm afraid my age is finally catching up to me. Nevertheless, happy 28 to me! 🥳

Is anyone else here an extremely inconsistent gamer when it comes to difficulty? Like I really enjoy the FromSoft catalog. I will happily bash my head against Malenia and Isshin for 100+ times if need be. (fuk u malenia 🥲) Then I play SH2:R. Combat difficulty? ✨easy🙆‍♂️ Puzzle difficulty? 👹H̸A̵R̵D̴👹

For today's ramble: After a wild 3 months of ✨drama✨, I finally made it back to the gym on Wednesday I wasn't prepared for the DOMS that would hit my lower back afterwards. Absolutely debilitating I'm fine now, but it's very humbling seeing a bunch of kids run past you while you can barely move 😁

Woah, suddenly I'm at 600 followers here! No idea how, when and why, but hello to you all! I hope you enjoy my eclectic mix of every day rambles, occasional code talk and trying to do better every day!

I specifically bought the disc-based version of my PS5, because I prefer to have local copies of my games around that I can touch. Why do they all still require numerous gigabytes of downloads!? Why have we given up on discs as storage medium? Let me have my game on shiny round things!

More cute feel-good content for today: I digitally preserved the love notes my wife wrote for me 9 years ago before she flew back home to the Philippines. I've carefully kept them stored physically until now, but if anything should happen to them I would be devastated. Not anymore!

My wife snapped a spontaneous picture while we were clearing out parts of our bedroom yesterday. I think we're done with family pictures now. This is it. It doesn't get better. 🤭

Welcome back to questionable cuisine with Richard! Did you know that you can take your favorite Nesquik milk mix (Strawberry 'quik, Banana 'quik) and mix it into plain yogurt? 2-3 spoons per one cup of plain yogurt will give you instant flavored yogurt!

So we will be moving to a new apartment soon. I'm terribly excited at the prospect of having a garden and a bath tub. However, I cannot overstate how much I hate the actual process of moving. Oh my god. 😫

One of my absolute favorite things about doing business in Austria is that sometimes people here try to put on their best, most formal German. And then they accidentally slip and a few little Austriacisms come through. Somehow it humanizes the interaction. 😁
