Continuing Shadowrun Hong Kong on #stream tonight at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Will play for a few hours, at most one mission, before going to sleep.
Ambient, dub techno, and later on some electro this week all at a steady 110. This mix features new tracks by Cignol, Paradox, and Stratos Zero.

I found out a few days ago that Marshall Sutcliffe (who I know as a Magic: The Gathering match commentator) has a Youtube channel where he meticulously repairs wristwatches.
This video is particularly impressive I think:

Playing more #quake1 Dwell 2 on #stream at https://twitch.tv/andreaen . Starting in a few minutes.
Two goals today: 1. make friends with Apeirohedron and 2. test the movement changes I made to the game engine.

Just realized I should clarify: sliding up stairs when transitioning from being in the air to being on the ground. So you can jump into stairs and they won't block you and stop your momentum immediately.

So it turns out that the #quake1 Darkplaces SV_FlyMove code is pretty similar to the same function in Ironwail. Using Darkplaces as a template I was able to implement sliding-up-stairs in Ironwail 0.7.0 last night.
I probably did it wrong in some subtle way but for now it seems good. Playable. And it's such a dramatic improvement to the game that it's worth it, I think.

I'm playing & reading thru Shadowrun Hong Kong on stream again today at https://twitch.tv/andreaen .
Been a little bit since I picked this up, let's see what I can remember.
Ambient & dubby techno today hovering around 120 BPM. This mix features recent (2022) tracks by Altone and Yagya as well as a few old Deepchord / Echospace related productions and two old pieces by Alteria Percepsyne.

Rough subtitles for the 1988 found footage horror film Psychic Vision: Jaganrei were linked on Reddit earlier today & that gave me the excuse I needed to watch it.
Watched in very low quality on youtube. Jaganrei is directed by Teruyoshi Ishii and written by Chiaki J. Konaka (!).
Unexpected supernatural events occur while a reporter and her crew are filming a behind-the-scenes piece on the production of an idol's new single.
There's a passage near the end where a crew assembles a set for a music video and all I could think was: this is it, it's all about to go wrong & you're building your own hell.
It's short, 45 minutes or around there. Really nails the particular tone of cursed documentary. It's kind of great? I liked it well enough anyway (though I haven't thought too hard about it).
I will say I laughed out loud the first time they mentioned the name of the song they're working on.

The second half of Dwell 2 episode 2 does not mess around. It was really challenging on hard (skill 2). The boss fight in particular can get out of control really fast.
Really good maps, good stuff.

Window managers and taskbars use WM_CLASS to set resources or change behavior for windows on systems running X Windows. Newer versions of Wine set WM_CLASS to the process name, e.g. "Renoise.exe". According to this commit from 2019 wine-proton sets WM_CLASS to "steam_app_" plus the content of the environment variable "SteamAppId" or "steam_proton" if that env variable is empty. This means that if you use proton without using Steam (like me) then every program you run through Wine will have the same icon.
Fortunately this is very easy to fix. I write wrapper shell scripts for the MS Windows software I use anyway so it's simple enough to set "SteamAppId" to a value for each program (and then specify icons for the now-unique WM_CLASS). A probably unnecessary example:
#!/bin/sh
export WINEPREFIX="/z/software/Win64/Renoise/"
export SteamAppId="renoise"
cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Renoise
/usr/local/wine-proton/bin/wine Renoise.exe 1>/tmp/rns.out 2>&1 &
I spent some time digging into this a few days ago after installing WindowMaker & being annoyed that I couldn't set icons for the different MS Windows programs I use.

The second disc (CD2 at that same Bandcamp page) is also very good and is more chill, sleepy.
I once spent most of a summer listening to the ambient pieces from this album on repeat while playing Morrowind. A good memory, was a good time.

Listened to this a few times today:
Excellent ambient / dub techno album from 2011. Distant and hazy. Used to be very hard to get but is now (thankfully) available digitally.
Techno & dub techno today, from regular to a little weird. Throwing a bunch of things at the wall to see what sticks. This mix features new tracks by Skee Mask and Serge Geyzel as well as classics by (for example) Monolake and T++.
