These are the days which you dread for, the ones where you wish it won't happen. Unfortunately today was her day. To my old lady Belle she was ever a big goober, and was always wanting the attention for loving pets and cradling. Hopefully you meet up with the other cats I grew up with.

Some in the light photos with a black skirt and light hoodie. Pure gender affirmation moments.

A posing Zoë as a Shygal in a fairly black fit, from the hoodie, the skirt and the sports bra. The fit is very relaxed.

Y'know the Shygal mask is literally a cheat code for any dysphoria I would have and makes me more confident in what I wear, even if the fit is literally only a Sports Bra.

I have never encountered a version of Myst where GOING TOO FAST disallows you from entering menus so you can turn on zip mode... until now. This is also a version that doesn't have a hotkey to enable zip mode despite keyboard access. This is Amiga CD Myst and the route might be interesting.

Oh but for whatever reason you can view the page to Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced a title that is also rated R18+ for who the fuck actually knows... how does GTAV keep getting away with it? Good question. Well bar from Grand Theft Auto V losing the gambling mechanics in Australia recently.

The Australian Classification board search for Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced, rated R18+ for Themes and Violence being high impact with the addition of Drug Use and Sex.

Below the Steam Page of Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced showing the actual game page and not a "add a credit card to your account".

Bonus comment is that Language and Nudity are "Strong Impact".

Sometimes... sometimes the Australian Government should explode for their video game decisions. Sometimes with a meteor. Why can't I view the page to Resident Evil Village a game that I own on Steam? It's because I don't have a credit card attached to my Steam account and the game's R18+.

The Australian Classification board search for Resident Evil 7, rated R18+ for Themes and Violence being high impact.

Below the Steam page for it restricted with the comment "Valve is required by the Age-Restricted Material App Distribution Services Code to verify that you are 18 or older before accessing mature content. If you wish to do so, please add a valid Australian credit card to your account and afterwards update the Mature Content Preferences."

Day 16: Even now as I look at these photos a week later it all just hurts. I heavily enjoyed my time in New Zealand and especially being with @casualjerry.bsky.social who was such a wonderful hostess, but I have to return to Australia... Maybe again soon?

Yes, we played maimai and I dragged Jerry along for the ride to as many as we could and she has done quite well for not being a rhythm gamer. Here she is getting her first Rating Up! into the Blues.

New Zealand Airport: Out infront of the "International departures" area.
Jerry and Zoë both upset that this is over.

Day 15: Both a bit under the blues, and with the moody weather to boot we stayed in the hotel room and did the cosplay plan that we wanted to do, even if it was just for that moment. We will return for PAX.

The solution for the GPD Win 3 was literally just installing good ol' reliable Linux Mint... why didn't I do this from the start?

Spikestuff (Zoë/Taco) @spikestuff.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I love it when something that works fine in the Windows instance breaks horribly in a Linux one and I can't figure out why cause no one would have documents about the GPD Win 3 controller... or I'm blind. Distro: CachyOS (Arch).

Just played and finished Portal: Alive & Kicking. It's a good remake of Portal using 2's engine. I love how they did the Escape Sequence, but GLaDOS isn't as emotive, and that ending "fight" with her doesn't hold a candle to the original. Anyways this cake is great.

Before posting I checked one of their newer videos where they fail to cite their sources of where these "NEW Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen Facts Discovered" came from, but they also still fail to link towards the accounts they were using clips from. DYKG credit the people and cite your sources!

YouTube title from Did You Know Gaming: NEW FireRed & LeafGreen Facts Discovered

Upload date: 29th March 2026.

In the description it mentions that DYKG found new facts surrounding the development of said titles.

They would have a call a section where to follow them, and who did the research for the video, but doesn't have a single citation to where any of the information come from.

Did You Know Gaming would also state that it's unknown as to why these combo bonuses exist and theorized it being related to item tables. Despite on TASVideos there's two explanations as to why, and attached is the one that explains further as to why it happens: tasvideos.org/5383S

Item glitch

The Item glitch (also known as “box glitch”) is a way to obtain key items through unintended methods. These could include: relics, gems, crystals and the time stopping effect from time trials. In this run, the glitch is the method used to obtain the 25 crystals needed to fight Cortex.

When jumping on multiple enemies in a row, you start getting rewards such as wumpa fruit and extra lives. But if you get 100+ in a row you start getting unintended items. If you jump on 200+ you start getting crystals. Bouncing on boxes doesn’t give you rewards but it does increase the combo counter. To get the 25 crystals I use boxes to get my combo counter to 200 and then bounce on 24 enemies. Each enemy gives me 1 crystal. I also get the intended crystal from the level which makes 25 in total. I chose Gee Wiz since it has two things I need: an arrow box (or something bouncy) and 24 enemies.

The jump combo count is lost if you enter the walking or standing animation. Usually this happens whenever you touch the ground, but by spinning before hitting the ground and jumping before the spin ends you can keep the combo counter. You can also hold circle to duck and keep the counter. With some precision you can slide and keep it too.
