Every Friday, Or earlier

Print


; Hello World

I'm writing this on Wednesday night, so I can post it early on Thursday.
This is roughly the fourth week in a row that I've been doing this, and I'm slightly alarmed that I'm still writing "Friday" at the top of the newsletter.
The date is literally two days into the future, and yet, here I am, tappity tapping away and "Finishing off" another newsletter..
Hmm..

I seem to do this a lot.
Last week, me and Mum had an appointment in town, and ended up arriving about half an hour early, because I was worried in case there was too much traffic.

I hate being late. I've always hated being late, and I'll do anything I can to get there on time, or before.

Jay : He always comes early.

SoCoder


; Shhh...

Not much on the coding front to show off, this week.

Spinal's been busy hacking an old Dreamcast VMU, sticking a tiny R-Pi Zero inside it, along with a battery and a tiny little screen.
But hasn't posted about it to the forum!!

Jay's written 3 more games, this week. A Foldapuz puzzle, a Shoebox game, and a Petit Switch game.
But hasn't posted about them to the forum!!

Hobo's been banging on at the National Grid, trying to get a month's free electric.
But hasn't posted about it to the forum!!

Rychan's been driving around in VR on his PS4.
But hasn't posted about it to the forum!!!

Everyone's over on Twitter, nowadays.
I need something to draw people back.

... Who wants free lollypops?!!?!

SoDoing


; Creating a Keyboard

Spinal considers hacking a touchscreen apart, for the purposes of turning it into a tiny keyboard!
Jay suggests that a pre-made tiny bluetooth keyboard might be easier to hack, but I guess it depends on how tiny Spinal wants the keyboard to be.

; Mario Maker 2

Jay buys Mario Maker 2, but is actually quite disappointed that "All the new stuff" doesn't really amount to all that much.
There's a hidden "Super Mario Land Suit" that works a bit like the old Amiibo suits, in that the level stays the same but the music changes.
This is disappointing for 2 reasons.
1. It's not a proper MarioLand theme. FUCK SAKE..
2. Oh my god, what the hell in hell's hell of hells have they done to the music!?!
