Morning sounds
this appears to be Moatun 7 re-releasing a 2014 album by Ishq and Metamatics. This version is missing a number of remixes that were on the original.
Anyway it's really good.
The map shown in the video above is pd_ladders.bsp (a test map from progs_dump 3) by dumptruck_ds. Player movement, both acceleration and the slidemove, is all done through custom QuakeC running on the FTEQW engine. Movement techniques shown include ladders (obv.), mantling, stairstepping (airsteps), Q1 air accel, Q3 air accel (strafejumping), CPM air control, and so on.
I wish I could've chosen to obsess over something other than a Quake mod. Having said that the movement feels pretty good now. It's getting there.

Valkyrie Profile is hard if you don't know what to do ahead of time. Lezard's tower was a brutal spike in difficulty.
Got through it with help from chat after 3 hours and needed to stop for the day. Will continue the game and move into Chapter 5 on Thursday (hopefully).

I have a copy of Heaven Is Waiting but I don't have this release (Seduction), I definitely need to pick it up.
For some reason programming always makes me itch for goth rock. (And coincidentally the Quake FlyMove / SlideMove function I was tinkering with is called "DanceMove" in the code.)

Had a sudden desire to listen to old goth rock / post-punk / synthpop while programming the other day and now I can't stop listening to this:

I'm starting a game of Valkyrie Profile (1999, PSX) on stream today over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.
Back to JRPGs after a short break. I'm not sure what to think of this game yet - it looks interesting, and I have the sequel to play after. I hope it isn't too difficult.

new Jamie Bissmire on Molecular in case anybody needs some #techno this morning
It's super sweet. Loopy. I really love a lot of the old Bandulu & Infonet stuff so I'm excited to see a new Bissmire release.

Smooth upgrade to Debian 12.6 today (done the usual way, a simple apt update && apt upgrade). Cheers and thanks to the Debian team.
Did have to reboot though (for the new kernel), that always makes me anxious.
