A very rad animation by Jan Švankmajer. Dimensons of Dialogue (1983). A series of pairs, interacting... consuming? (CW: clay nudity.)

Binxelview 1.6 released! A simple tool I made years ago for investigating uncompressed image and map formats in old games. Over time it ended up being way more useful than I expected, so I decided it deserved a few new features like persistent options.

Iced Tea. My favourite method: add tea + sugar to cold water, put in the fridge for 10+ hours. That's it, very simple.

Per 500ml water: 1 teabag (orange pekoe), 30ml sugar.

The cold brewing avoids extracting elements that are good for hot tea but leave bitterness when cold.

I wanted to make a list of the kanji used by the Japanese version of SimCity. I got all the 8x8 pixel tiles, but every character is an 8x16 combination of 2 tiles, and there's no centralized pairing data. Could be paired by hand, but this seemed like too much work. (Notes above.)

In case anyone needs a decompressor for stuff found in a variety of SNES games by Nintendo, I wrote this when investigating SimCity.

I found references calling it LC_LZ2, but I couldn't a full documentation of it, and Lunar Magic is closed source.

I've not been well, and I'm sorry to anyone that's waiting on stuff from me. It's been a hard year and it's still hard.

Don't wanna be specific here because I don't have the energy to deal with unsolicited advice, but I'm getting help (nominally). The pace is excruciatingly slow.
