@NanoRaptor Give me a keyboard with F13-F26 and I'll find new things to bind them to, whether it's in a code editor, OBS Studio, or whatever.

@k3ym0 While DOOM is a pretty effective demo, I can't help but feel NES ROMs, which run anywhere from 24KB to 512KB would have been even more effective (and would seriously piss Nintendo off in the process, for a double win)

Survived. We'll see how I feel in two or three weeks.

Four hours from now I'll be unconscious for the first half of the 2026 spine ablations.

It'll probably be several weeks before the effects become apparent, though. Takes time for muscles to relax/heal.

Picking up and reading a book at two years old definitely counted.

Still alive, still recovering from last week's gauntlet of appointments.

One funny bit of news: I let myself get talked into entering a semi-local arcade's Street Fighter 2 Turbo tournament. Single elimination, 12 competitors.

Despite being very out of practice, I won. There were some very, very good competitors in there. Somehow I find myself looking forward to challenging them again someday.

@gosokkyu Will be interesting to see if the less text-heavy games they brought to the West on Switch (e.g. Silpheed) will make it. My bet is "probably"

While I knew it was Larry King's (very distinctive) voice cameoing in Ghostbusters, I wasn't aware that that was his first-- but definitely not last-- cameo in film and TV. He went on to do a lot more cameos.

Some people just have a very distinctive voice. I'd recognize Larry King (and a number of other TV/radio hosts) instantly.

2026 has been an interesting year so far. There's been a lot of "sprint forward making great progress!" only to faceplant into health-related brick walls so far.

Today is going to be a step towards trying to get past the health issues I can work around; three appointments eating most of my morning and afternoon.
