I admit I thought I enjoyed doing livestreams. In fact, I didn't find it fun and I kept thinking too much of how others will judge me.
I stopped streaming for years now and still lied to myself that I'm a Vtuber.
It's about time to move on and actually be myself...
Sketch 5
I suddenly wanted to give her an another design iteration but currently don't have an access to my PC. So editing my last sketch with a mouse it is π₯΄
Damn Revision 2026 is soon and I have an another big Otomata Labs entry to finish for it. Probably not going to touch Project Ozone for quite a while π¦
Video capture from my Famicom running that ROM
Also yes I actually wrote a NES ROM to display this, you can get it here: demozoo.org/graphics/384...
The art I drew and submitted to the compo
context - dude drew a red horse for iirc enlight back in the 90's. and apparently he got ridiculed because of it so when we had a zxgfx compo (animals in 64x64), this guy was writing comments under every fucking horse picture bitching and whining that he lost because of red horse and now someone else sent a red horse how could they dude almost thirty years had passed
Original red horse art
Source: youtu.be/jMxLdP4Z5Hs?...
Context: artΓ«mka asked us to spam the party with the red horse pics, which is basically an inside joke of their scene. Then I had this funny idea of umaifying it so I went ahead π
Also yes that's a mud
I guess this will be the year I actually start submitting my drawings for demoparty gfx compos π€
Dammit I had the worst year for my career but at least I finally decided to start over and realize what I want to do the most π₯²
So my goal for 2026 is to just nicely finish everything I started off
Damn I didn't expect a famous repairman to just casually running Mapperless on NES clones π³

I'm late for this but I just remembered I did this Christmas special two years ago youtu.be/dllf5PtHUaI
Putting this cartridge mod project on hold for now since I need to save up for something else
TIL you can do polygon clipping in KiCad. I did this entirely in the PCB editor
That EPROM mod was still too unwieldy, so I decided to do a more modern approach. Which is why I bought an another donor cartridge π
#nesdev
Okay, I think I'm still not going to upgrade it, despite the price increase it'll be
Damn my laptop only takes the shortest M.2 2230, despite having a room for longer ones
This thing is almost 20 years old now, can you believe it?
My new gear
Damn, with Furnace recently removing old pitch slides, the module is no longer accurate to these videos π
Sketch 5
free rent
I ported @64abstract.bsky.social's Carve Your Own Path to MMC5, totally not going to use this to test something π
#nesdev
This would take days to play with all those wait commands
.vgm export of this takes about 7 million bits of command by the way π
When you declared the type wrong so the last tick value keeps getting truncated within 8 bits π΅βπ«
Main characters of Project Ozone
Sketch 4
Style test π€ (cover of MelonadeM's Perpetual Motion)
#chiptune
That's right! I helped my friend Abyxus compiling his impressive 2xSID tune into a single .sid file, which is normally impossible due to music engine restrictions. Had to make some modifications to patch in the second half at runtime π

Ominous
Have you ever spent almost a month of free time rewriting the hardest piece of cycle-counted code and having so many demotivations in-between, just to find out it doesn't work in the end?
Yes, that just happened to me π
Self-modifying code, no registers used here
Man I like Motorola 68000
I bought new parts and fixed it now π
