Just got back from vacation and we found the coolest store! Retro Jake’s in Richmond, Indiana. They’ve got a sizable arcade and an excellent game selection from NES through the modern era. We spent a couple of hours there. I played a few games of DDR, a little Mortal Kombat 4, a bit of CarnEvil, and picked up a few games for my collection.
I got Streets of Rage 2 and Menacer for Sega Genesis and Star Wars Racer Revenge for PS2.

SGDK is an amazing framework for building Sega Genesis games. Among its features is the tool rescomp, which compiles resources like images and audio for use inside your game. The rescomp tool offers a path for extension. I’m currently using a rescomp extension to import my collision map from a csv file in ldtk’s super simple export. This guide should allow you to more easily write extensions for your specialized resources as well.

The world is impressively messy right now. I must admit that I’ve mostly turned inward. My focus over the last few months has been on a project that I don’t really want to talk about until I have something to show. Hopefully the first small piece will be ready to present soon.
I’ve enjoyed over a year of taking the bus to work now. The difference between busing and driving is incredible.

I just closed all 228 of my open mobile tabs. I went through each and every one first, putting the ones worth saving in appropriate places in my notes, TODO lists, to read lists, and wish lists.
My open tabs had become a sort of an awkward unstructured TODO list of their own. I had tabs open for things I wanted to buy, articles I wanted to read, websites people had shown me on Discord, articles that bloggers had referenced.
