It's been a loooong time since I wrote a journal here, since 2012. I figure I'm due for an update on what I've been doing all this time.

I made more sheet music on my youtube channel. For example, Wild West from Lost Saga and Potential for Anything from VVVVVV

Then I got silly for a while and had a moderately successful youtube career making YTP. Mostly of ponies (if you're going to watch some of them, try the later ones, it was a rough start). It was fun and got a LOT more attention than I expected, but then everything got copyright claimed and monetized and I found slaving away for someone else's paycheck ultimately unsatisfying. Maybe again someday but for now am retired.

Then I did a glitch TAS of SNES Dragon View that I don't expect to be beaten anytime soon. In the process I dug up a lot of interesting stuff from the game's ROM, so I made a TCRF page about it, as well as a couple of documents on GameFAQs. I also made a world map (full size) for the game directly from the ROM, using Excel, showing a level of detail and accuracy never seen before! So that was fun.

It also taught me 65816 code and SNES hardware, so I decided, why not make my own SNES game? It's been in progress for a few years and probably will be for some time yet, but it's about a squirrel. Also, I made my SNES play fullscreen 15fps video with CD audio, just to prove that NintenDoes what Genesis did in a tiny letterbox size.

I also got a story published in Knotted by Red Ferret Press! I think it's a good one and the others I've read from the book have been enjoyable as well. I still write sometimes, but good ideas for stories have been few lately.

And more recently, I have a dog now! His name is Badger and he's great. And that's about all I can think of at the moment, so I think that'll do for a long overdue update.

To anyone who actually read all that and/or checked some of it out, thank you! That was really cool of you!
