Failed in my attempt to play every Adams Family in Seattle, mostly due to not starting early enough. Got to see the beach on a nice day though.
I'm still hoping for some kinda speedrunner sicko to cover the left half of the screen and only play with the DDR commands. Would be a hell of a spectacle for some live event.
Read the levels of Inpulse like music 🎶 Every level comes with DDR-style Ghost Input that teaches you how to get Flute from Point A to Point B 📍
TIL: if someone who seems really drunk shows you a number on their phone, they may be having some sort of diabetic crisis.
Everyone talks about how Tom Clancy or The Lone Gunman predicted 9/11, but no one talks about the 1991 gameshow "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?", there was an episode where "Double Trouble" stole the World Trade Centers.
Played a little pinball at Jupiter post PAX. Found a free game on Jaws and left a free game on Jaws.
Despite some shipping mishaps, got my PAX West badge today! Also, my apartment is running low on electricity till 6 PM, so saith Seattle City Light, so working out of a bar that's playing Totally Spies on their projector for some reason.
Fallout pinball, eh? Could be good. Seems like they're leaning into the TV show based on the small amount of data the teaser shows. Kinda a shame given how much you could do with just Vault Boy animations. Maybe some green screen looking Pip-Boy stuff.

A day late, but Raymond Chen's "What was the role of MS-DOS in Windows 95?" answers an interesting question that bugged a lot of people at the time. devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/...
What was the role of MS-DOS in Windows 95? - The Old New Thing
It acted as the 16-bit legacy device driver layer.

On August 24, 1995, Microsoft released Windows 95 for retail sale.
Looking like my summer C3 project isn't getting done before the end of C3, so here's last C3's project. It's still cool, even if I do need to update it to work in Germany.
Finally got my C3 project done. A much faster ROM loader using USB2SNES. Links in the reply.

This is the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me for preordering a video game.
Being found in this list is like the complete opposite of showing up in the Epstein files gist.github.com/Hipnosis183/... (h/t @eblong.com's blog here about the fool and his money blog.zarfhome.com/2026/07/the-...)
This would put me in Ohio in the early 90s. Could do worse.
You're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?
Got to play some pinball in Philly. Finally got to tour the mansion in Adam's Family. Last ball was kinda sad, but it's a PB I'll take. Not too long after--and around when we were planning to head out--I was challenged by an old timer to a friendly game of Jaws...
Spent some more time playing the Sonic Pinball table. Good news: you can pick your starting level by pushing the button. Bad news: every level is still kinda inscrutable. Finding the blue shots that mark progress is shockingly difficult. Callouts help, but they're callouts.
Since people have been having fun with musical/legal analogies this week, just wanna post my favorite music lawsuit. Fogerty vs Fantasy: where John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival was sued by his old label for sounding too much like John Fogerty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogerty....

Last week, I decided to setup a fail2ban rule where any IP that requests 10ish 404ing URLs gets punted. Turns out this cuts down on bot traffic dramatically. Might add another rule for anything trying to grab any .env or *.php files.
Dear Gmail, There's no universe where an email sent from noreply_noreply_noreply_noreply_...@ is a legitimate email. Thanks, Patcdr

Since playing random Kaizo levels is back in the zeitgeist, got my ol' RomHack Races Random Level Selector working with RHR's new site: patcdr.net/rando_rhr/
