First feature update on the bots in a very long time! Feels pretty good.
I've wanted to have those wr improvement deltas for a while now, I hope you like them too.

Dealing with the heatwave: bought a laptop cooler today to be able to stream for more than half an hour before my emulator slows down.
Same-day delivery on a sunday - thanks Amazon for solving my first world problems!
Playing James Pond 2 (SMS) again after months, had forgotten how awful this game really was: tiny viewport, big enemies and bad hitboxes, short iframes, and some freakishly long stages without checkpoints
I just backed SEGA® Master System: a visual compendium on @Kickstarter kck.st/2KAaUZr
Book looks nice, and that Alex Kidd t-shirt does too! Only 3 hours before deadline, that was close
I'm planning to do the #12HourChallenge spread over the 3 days next weekend, that'll give me a good opportunity to play, at last. Still need to decide between the few games I have in mind...
One of the options I'm considering is a game that noone has run yet. Couldn't be more in-theme, but that may prove to be a bad idea (besides the game potentially being a bad speedgame 😆)
Almost expectedly, turns out I won't be doing this, too complicated to set aside that much time for gaming.
I'll try to do a couple of short streams and more or less rusty runs.
I finally managed to get my Twitter/Discord bots back up, not easy to find time but it felt good to fiddle with stuff again. Next, find time to write a cleanup script for the bad tweets...
Of course it's when you're in a hurry to deploy a fix on a project you haven't touched in months that you remember about that mandatory SDK upgrade (with breaking changes) you never did 3 months ago.

This account has been awfully quiet lately. That's a bit sad but between work and baby (+ general tiredness) I really don't do anything gaming or programming related. And I guess I don't like tweeting about random or personal stuff?
I think I literally haven't played a (real) video game in the last 2 months, since that Astérix PB. (if I don't count the time spent on the phone playing Buriedbornes)
