iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I contributed two manual scans to Vimm's Lair just now of an ancient Dreamcast game I love! If you want to hear me ramble at length about it and check out the full scans, here's a blog post: luckydevil.nz/post/seventh-cross-ev…

A scan of the first two pages of the Seventh Cross Evolution manual. There are some ancient 3D renders of weird monsters on the left side -- one is a kind of fleshy golem, one is a bug person, and one is made of purple crystals -- and on the right side are unclear in-game screenshots showing your evolution from a single-celled organism to two types of slug and finally to the "Origin" fish person.

A scan of two pages of the Japanese manual, this one possibly explaining how the wacky minigame works, if only I could read it. It shows in-game screenshots of dots drawn on a series of extremely complex grids. I am not convinced all the translators in the world could make me understand it.

found an awesome torn off holographic goosebumps book cover on the street today

One of the "Give Yourself Goosebumps" choose-your-own-adventure books. It has a sparkly rainbow cover. This one is "Diary of a Mad Mummy" and has a goofy looking mad scientist/mummy guy on it.

Photo of my arm with a sage green watch on it. The clock face has the maori words for numbers instead of the numbers themselves -- tahi, rua, toru, wha, rima, ono, whitu, waru, iwa, tekau, tekau ma tahi, and tekau ma rua.

the gender options I can set for my cats are also very good

A screenshot with the words "Pet gender. Select your pet gender" and then FOUR different options:

Gentlemen (picture of a mustache)

It's nice that the app for my cat's new litter box lets me set my gender to a custom field

An app that has allowed me to set my gender to "you are a litter box app dude"

a screenshot showing that setting my gender to this has broken the user interface a bit so now the word Gender is spread over two lines

Photograph of a little stuffed animal with a flat, toony humanlike face and a fuzzy body. It sort of has sphinx vibes.

I forgot to get a good photo after the colors went on (we went a little wacky with it compared to the original) so you have to wait until the tattooist posts it and I can yoink it from her. However we did get a great shot of the lines :)

The artist actually did my beautiful crocodile tattoo a few years ago, I'm really excited to see her again and show her a blast from the past. I got it as a present for myself when I entered remission from cancer :)

My arm with a tattoo of a crocodile on it. The crocodile is a charmingly stylized beast in a tight geometric spiral of sorts. It's shaded green and pink and has its mouth open wide.

i don't know anything about this vlogger(?) and i cropped them out of a larger meme but ever since i saw this image a few days ago i've been frothing at the mouth about how much i need a pair of animal ears that match my hair color perfectly

a screenshot from a Facebook Reels video I think, there's a person with a sort of femme alien gutter punk aesthetic named Jesse James looking into the camera. They have lots of piercings and jewelry and tattoos and immaculate eye makeup. Their hair is pale green with darker green bits and tied up into huge messy ponytails at the sides of their head, and they have a small pair of fake cat ears on top of their head that are exactly the same tones of green. According to the caption they're saying "I've been learning shit from the aliens"

I would also settle for having my soul trapped inside of a DreamCast DIVERS 2000 variant

A grainy scan of a photo of the Dreamcast DIVERS 2000 console, which is an all-in-one Dreamcast/CRT television. It's a nice aqua blue with a crazy teardrop shaped case, as well as antennae and weird lights. It's got a blue semitransparent keyboard, controller and remote as well.

i think my blood pressure spiked from seeing this on a website

it's a bit of web design fluff that is a grey box with the header "Seamlessly Coordinated" and some text about how this company helps you book medical flights, but they've screwed up the relationship between the font size and the grey box so that the Y at the end of Seamlessly and the ED at the end of Coordinated are bumped to their own separate lines

I decided to try a radical new thing which is putting acne patches on my breakouts instead of savaging them with my claws. So far so good, I appreciate that I was able to buy 36 cute patches for $10

The rest of the space is taken up by silver and gold rays, stars, planets and an oldschool plane.

Can't think of many things more grotesque than the idea of using Meta AI to summarize the heartfelt messages my dying dad is sending while I sit on the flight taking me back away from him but thanks for making it a button, Zucko

Messages sent from my dad, whose Facebook icon is a drawing of an anthro fox. He says: Bon Voyage ! My DARLINGS! With you all the way forever ! Love and miss you too! You are so firmly in my heart that you are still with me! But the grace of your joy in the now is what I miss! I must call you as soon as you get home!
