i found my love of film again for a few months, found myself eventually delving into the work of david cronenberg & had a great time, loved em all but especially dead ringers! they feel like very great made for tv movies

Honestly, I've been 3dmm'ing a lot more. Since quarantine started, I've completed my longest movie yet, realized that it was a terrible one, and improved my standards to my current (watchable) stage.

I've been going on walks in the snow recently, but there's also the fact that I've been getting a few laughs out of watching the late night comedy shows and I've also been trying out some amateur code development (with a lot of help from online tutorials!!!!) and I think it's going well.

I've been wanting to get one of those wood engraver pens, so that I could carve the 3DMM logo into a piece of wood and hang it up.

I got sucked back into Pokemon big time haha, this app came out earlier in the year where you can transfer all your Pokemon from older games to the Switch and use them in online battles and stuff in the new games. as I was making those transfers I noticed this app has its own pokedex on it and was actually quite close to being 100% completed, which is crazy considering there's like 800+ pokemon now i'm pretty sure and i haven't done anything like that since the original games when I was a kid. so I decided as a fun lil project during lockdown I'd stick on my old games and try and get all the remaining Pokemon I needed to complete the dex on this Pokemon Home app, then I find out that to do so I have to download Pokemon Go for the first time as there's two pokemon entirely exclusive to that game I need to get in order to complete it. In the end I completed it reasonably quick and now I'm just addicted to shiny hunting in these games again

Dead ringers was awesome

I downloaded Flashpoint, which is a PC program that archives Flash games, animations, and other stuff. Not just Flash games, but Shockwave and Unity stuff too. I found that pretty much all of the games I used to play when I was younger were archived, so I've spent a lot of time playing those games. It's also a project that anyone can contribute to, though the curation process can be a little confusing at first.

Get the "Ruffle" browser extension using their steps on https://ruffle.rs.

[Plopilpy]

You gotta download the zip file, unzip it, then add it with the "add unpacked" button in developer mode on Chrome.

[VGCharacters]

Yeah, but Flashpoint is played offline and already has over 80,000 games and animations, so it's more convenient than scouring the internet for a game that's on an ad-filled website.

Ruffle also lets you view the [snd2] tag here, as well as being able to see the vimeo embed option on movie releases. However it's still in the beta, so it doesn't really work for anything but games and animations.

I am into playing online games. Amny of them from here https://www.y8games.center/ Also this games will be good for playing with children. I play many of them with my young brother.

I've been playing a lot of Mount & Blade Warband, exploring old mods and trying to actually conquer the entire map. But in addition to just gaming and looking at Online, I've been trying to read more lately and I've been cruising through roughly one book per week

Oh also over the holidays I finally got around to hacking my SNES Classic so now I have like 80 new SNES games, many of which ive never seen or played before, so that's kind of cool. Most of them are insanely hard though

[Plopilpy]

Most of my quarantine would've been insanely boring if it wasn't for this place <3
