My neurodivergent self trying to adjust to 9-5 office-politics-laden work

I'm unsure of this, but i get the underlying logic.

One of the first things I did to improve editing was to combine the UK soundtrack to the other version as a personal project. Of course, a remaster of the UK version came out shortly later.....

Back to NYC in a week to try to solve worsening jaw health (genes suck sometimes), working on finishing Q&A and next video by then. Progress is slow.

Jeez, old enough for EA to drain dry two of my favorite game companies in a parallel path. I kinda figured Bioware would go the way of Origin eventually, but it is still unpleasant to experience. Hope the devs end up somewhere good.

Mr. Rogers helping fund Night of the Living Dead, and George Romero directing the tonsil surgery segment on Neighborhood

This is fun

This rules: Knoxville's NBC affiliate made an hour-long documentary about Cyberflix, a local CD-ROM developer in the mid-90s. Drawing on a lot of materials in the VGHF Library from the Andrew Nelson papers! (and feat. cameo from me!)

Deeply worried about making enough / proving chronic illness or caretaking for Medicaid work requirements next year. Hasn't been looking good so far. Not sure how to solve this puzzle.

In the thread itself I mention being immensely creeped out by the tone and jank of the cartoon Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea, but thinking on it I'm gonna go with "lady gets turned into a computer metal thing in Superman III" as the actual first thing I can recall

I will say that after running smack into the whole "Twilight Zone Magazine platforming Aum Shinrikyo Guy" scandal and the relevant essays about it when researching the bonus video I now very much get what Koji Shiraishi's OCCULT was trying to reference.

Video clips for bonus vid are finished and final touches on script are done, after continued emergencies kept pulling me away from it. Next step is to re-record final, add music, citations, and credits, and then it'll go up, along with the Q&A solicitation for Patrons.

Yet more hospital confusion with family heart surgeries. @_@. I like the cardiac ward a great deal but my family's problems always seem difficult to diagnose. I would like this constant barrage of emergencies to stop. It's been six weeks of this @_@

Recent Wizardry discussion is making me think of Will McLean's original manual illustrations. Look at this Moebius lookin' dude

Still recovering from the constant hospital stay emergencies for my folks over the last month. The pressure from the storm isn't helping much. Stay safe out there, chronic illness/neuropathy folks - the air feels like a press.

While researching Kadokawa Media Mix strategy, I and @katewillaert.bsky.social saw an ad from Gangu Shōhō Jan '52 (discovered by author Marc Steinberg in his book Anime Media Mix) that had the best worst licensed toy of all time and am curious if folks know more about it. Behold the Bambi rifle.

Taking a break from editing and nine kinds of chaos for this simple thing.

Finally had a chance to catch up on some work. The script for the bonus video on Masaki Iwasaki is almost done, I just need to cover his modern work. Should be a small one of 15-20mins. I'll try to finish it by the end of the week, and then start asking for Q&A questions from Patrons.

Multiple family emergencies, unfortunately. Be on later when things are calmer.

Finally got medicine to calm down the facial nerve, but it's taking a bit to adjust to it. Trigeminal Neuralgia & complex facial pain are tricky to calm down once they get going. Also the 'catching a bug at the doctor's office' strikes again. Work continues on patreon bonus, it's just a bit slow.

Not related to Japanese computer games in any way, but I'm a guest on this podcast along with many other GA folks.

Facial pain been seriously messing me this weekend. Neurologist on Monday. X.X

Family health issues have slowed research for the supplemental video but hopefully making meaningful progress this weekend. It's tricky to make a biography of someone who prefers to let their work speak for themselves @_@.
