iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Hey @tinypaint.bsky.social - at last, Alcatraz Plus: Prison Portal Escape in #QuestMaster has been verified to be solvable and is uploaded for the community to play! This took way longer than I expected it to, mostly because I had to keep changing things to fix bugs I found while testing it.

For those of you who don't already know this about me: I'm afraid to send anyone a direct message now.

Summer may be ending soon (for me at least) so why not have one last hoorah? After a whole year (yes really) I finally have a pool pic of Opal and friends! I'm amazed how much I've improved my backgrounds since the last summer pic☀️ #Art #2DArt #DigitalArt #2DArt #oc #ocart #summer

A digital art picture of four of my characters hanging out at a pool as the sunsets in the background.

Opal is sitting on the side of the pool with her legs in the water. Her hair is down and she is wearing a two-piece swimsuit with a long-sleeved top and bottoms. She is talking to Twitch.

Patience is standing in between Opal and Twitch with a hand on her hip and looking down at Opal. She is wearing a one-piece swimsuit with a frilly skirt bottom and shoes.

Twitch is sitting between Patience and Mizzy with her legs in the water. One hand is resting on her thigh while the other is on the poolside. She is wearing a one piece black swimsuit with blue frills around the collar and waist with a cutout around her back and navel. She is also wearing black bands with blue frills around her wrists. She is talking with Opal.

Mizzy is on the right side of the pool. She is kneeling on a towel with a hand on her hip. Her head is turned away but her eyes are looking at the other women. She is wearing a black one-piece swimsuit with red straps and sides and a frilly red sarong.

The pool has a reflection of the sunset in it. There are trees with cubic shaped leaves in the back that are being illuminated by the sun on the tops with harsh shading on the backsides. The sky is a gradient of purple to orange with faded stars in it.

On the one hand, my car tire is no longer flat... yay! but on the other hand, I'm feeling very down right now thanks to recent events in #YuGiOhMasterDuel. Not going to quit the game just yet as I see a way out of the situation I'm in - it's going to require me to go through more winless streaks.

It's becoming abundantly clear that I have no chance at winning anything in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel anymore. I have 5100 gems, but no idea what to spend them on... and I think I'd need way more than that to even have a chance at building something competitive. Oh well, guess I grind on for now.

Sorry @tinypaint.bsky.social - I keep finding more bugs every time I do a play test iteration. Will eventually get it uploaded...

I refuse to believe we are too old to enjoy the little things in life like toys, if it makes you happy why not collect, buy and enjoy? #peekimo

It's so soggy today that minor street flooding is occurring 🌧️ the storm runoff can't drain away fast enough... and it's going to stay like this tomorrow and Wednesday too before I get a break.

Good news, I found the cause of the freezing. I had too many camera triggers on a switch. Dungeon doesn't freeze now, will try to upload it for @tinypaint.bsky.social to play 😉

Officially done with the Dice Rally event in #YuGiOhMasterDuel. No rewards left that I want to get. Apparently the next event is a Duel Trial involving drawing 2 cards per Draw Phase. I'm already used to this because I play the Morganite cards so much 😂

Anyone know how many aircraft accidents have resulted in the vehicle being upside down, like this one from Toronto Pearson Airport?

For some unclear reason I am unable to cast magic in Zelda 2. With "Jump Always Active" this isn't a problem until the first spot I need Fairy... and now it seems that I cannot continue any further :3

Quest Master has been freezing on me a lot lately. I might put playing it on pause for a while until the dev team updates it again, as it's not as fun to play right now.

All of my eligible devices (my watch being the one exception) have been upgraded to v27 of their respective operating systems. (I have a new watch on the way to deal with that one exception.)

Oh dear, it seems my dungeon has broken #QuestMaster completely - I cannot upload it. Sorry @tinypaint.bsky.social - you can't play if Quest Master crashes when I try to verify the dungeon 😭

Been play-testing this #QuestMaster dungeon of evilness 😈 called "Alcatraz Plus: Prison Portal Escape". Already found and fixed quite a few bugs. You can now progress at least 1/3 of the way through the triply-reentrant puzzle on B5 for certain (the exit is on 1F, while the entrance is on B9).

Alcatraz Plus: Prison Portal Escape

Make a daring escape from jail, with extra security from guards and portals.

Tags: Troll, Non-Linear, Boss Battle
Restrictions: Mapless, Swordless, Ringless
Uses "Lost Planet Alcatraz" from Bomberman 64 as the main music.

Good morning from iPadOS 27. Am pleased to report that it fixes one of my biggest issues I had with this app where the media options were partially blocked by the keyboard; unfortunately, it also introduces another, less serious issue with the emoji picker, but I can live with that bug for now.

For you, @numberers.bsky.social - everything I have installed within the Crossover environment on macOS. As far as I can tell, all of it works (including the new games I bought on Steam that are Windows-only)! 😁

Just bought 7 pixel art RPGs from the Party-Based RPG fest. Unfortunately, most of them require Windows so I'll have to spin up my simulator to play them - but at least Steam itself works reliably there. (Alas, I can't purchase things from there, but that's no big deal.)

I made some changes to "Destroy 40" - including a new name, "Destroy 52", due to the number of cards changing. The deck has lots of ways to break boards, but more importantly, now has follow-up in the form of trap monsters. I've already outplayed quite a few opponents with it. ^_^

So I listened to Hizaki's Eidolon (2025) album. It's pretty ok tho Moon shard, Celestial Veins and Form of Emptiness are the ones stand out to me. Ngl Celestial Veins sounds like a boss theme 😅

Frustrated today - delivery of my phone was attempted, but they never rang the doorbell, so I had no way of knowing they were there. Resolved to pick it up at reception Monday after work, since I'm not getting another chance.

I don't think I could ever submit GIFs to any of the services hosting them, mostly because I'm beyond horrid at making them.

Did you know that Mario Kart 64 has a few unfixed bugs involving Lakitu trying to rescue you, but becoming confused about where to put you and puts you out of bounds again, resulting in a looping soft lock? It's rare, and the spots that trigger it generally require a Mushroom boost just to get to. 🤯
