This weekend's adventure was The Great Aussie Hike down at the Mornington Peninsula. Gorgeous location and gorgeous weather, though now very much looking forward to a long soak in the tub. 🛀

Our dog has learnt that he can open doors by jumping up on the handle, so I've had to take to installing the handles upside down.

I just signed into my GOG account and was a little confused by the list of most-recent titles. This doesn't seem like the sort of games I would normally buy... 🤔 I mean, maybe Sapphire Safari? (It has *furry* "hot babes"). But I don't think I've even heard of *that* before today.

The GOG game catalogue including regular titles like "Zniw Adventure", "Wing Commander Privateer", "Warcraft I/II"... and a handful of titles like "Being a DIK", "Fetish Locator", "Helping the Hotties" and "Lust Theory".

This was my earlier attempt at reproducing the effect on some actual SNES screen captures. dcoles.dev/webgpu/snes-...

A screen shot from Donkey Kong Country 2 with a filter to simulate the effect of being played on a CRT. The pixels are slightly wider than square and there's noticeable chroma down-sampling making the colours a little more muted and slightly mushy.

Trying to give this platformer a nice composite input on CRT look to it, like how I remember the Super Nintendo looked. Early consoles didn't use square pixels, so SNES sprites need to be stretched by 8:7 to make them have the right proportions.

Had a go at trying to replicate the dark world smoke effect from Deltarune. It's not perfect, but I think it does capture the essence of the effect. Ended up using a particle system and two shaders (in Godot)—one to draw the stencil and one to create the outline.

"...and I don't like it."

A close-up photo of a page from the book 'Unmasking Autism' by Devon Price, PhD. It shows a table with the following columns:

I was taught it was bad to be: Sensitive
So I had to pretend to be: Strong
I did this by behaving this way: Not voicing my needs; Feeling ashamed whenever I wanted to cry or express anger; Fighting internally with every "disruptive" emotion I felt.

A sticker of a wide-eyed slightly profusely sweating cartoon doodle with the text '*Sweats Loudly* has been overlaid on the photo.
