Feb 19 - Didn't get much done today, apart from a little gaming (more No Man's Sky). Mostly trying to track down and fix whatever is causing it to crash frequently, argh. So many black screens.
For supper I did pasta with sliced hot Italian sausages and tomato sauce - just canned sauce, doctored up with some sauteed onions and sweet pepper strips.
Feb 20 - Still trying to fix the crashing issue. Got to a point where if anything the game was more crash-y plus laggy than before I started trying to fix things. Restored my settings files from my monthly backup since I'd lost my key bindings due to one of the suggested attempted fixes (which involves clearing out the settings directory and letting the game regenerate it from scratch). Suddenly the lag is gone. Dunno about whether or not it's still crashing, didn't play very long beyond that point. Guessing one of the changes I'd made to possibly the graphics setting was maybe a cause of the lag? No way to know, really.
Supper tonight was a beef stew with potatoes, carrots, onions, and green peas. Seasoned with marjoram and savoury because I so rarely use either. Also bay leaf, salt, pepper, beef oxo cube.

Mistigram: today AdeptApril observes #IwoJima Day, by reproducing in #ANSIart Joe Rosenthal's famous Pulitzer-winning photo "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima", which was taken Feb 23 1945 on Mount Suribachi. It depicts Marines Harlon Block, Harold Keller, Ira Hayes, Harold Schultz, Franklin Sousley and Michael Strank. The fight for Iwo Jima, the final Pacific battleground before Okinawa and Japanese soil, would continue for over a month, until Mar 26.

akasaki minato was released in 2015. he was developed by XING inc. he is 25yos and 182cm tall. both his voice provider and illustrator are not revealed
midorizaki kasumi is all the same as minato apart from her being 27yos and 158cm tall
fun fact I'm like around minatos height, I haven't measured myself in a wee while though
also, a couple people were acting like if minato and kasumi died in the comments on their fandom wiki pages, but idk enough about either of them to tell you what that's about

Feb 18 - Laundry day, washed my clothing and a round of household towels & washcloths. Supper was macaroni with meatballs and meat sauce, with some extra diced tomatoes thrown in because I had an open can of them needing using up.
Feb 19 - Did some tidying in my bedroom and swept the kitchen floor. Needs a better cleaning, which I should aim to do some time in the coming week. For supper I made a beef stew (beef, last of the diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, celery, potatoes, carrots, turnips, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and savory).
Feb 20 - Forgot I still had half of the previous load of bread in the freezer, so baked a loaf of country harvest bread. Some cutting board oil I ordered last week finally showed up, so spent the evening oiling all the cutting boards (including the one built in to the counter, we have five of them).
Supper was a chicken stew (diced boneless skinless thighs, onions, celery, mushrooms, potatoes, green peas, chicken bouillon, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and tarragon).

40: This Pinball
Judging by the spinning flippers, bouncing bumpers and wildly bouncing balls on the title screen, not to mention the name, this is a pinball game.
Klickitat_Street: "This" Pinball? Not Addams Family or Elvira or anything? Not much of a theme.
"This is just straight up pure PINBALL!! YEAH!! NOT FOR SOFT TINY CHILDREN!" Bea growls and snorts and stomps her feet. "Yeah when do you ever see just.. pinball. No dinosaurs? Are you suuure, game?"
Glockroach: What was that one, alien crush or something? just full up of xenomorphs
SugahGlyda: Heck, I'm no good at pinball unless it does have a theme
DueyDecimal: Maybe it's a pinball game with a ThisTV theme! Get ready for M*A*S*H reruns and movies MST3K thought were too dull!
aroseahorseboy: no guys no! THIS Pinball. It's the saga of this particular ball. it's thoughts and stories, the many games its seen
HNV: Or maybe it's actually "This Is Pinball" and the IS in THIS is about to light up or something
HNV: Like when you write THIS on your fingers to do "This... Is... Buggy"
Llord_Kuruku: Wow, you are older than the Parthenon, aren't you.
Glockroach: the fuck is he talking about
"This Pinball. This snake egg. Learn difference, it maybe could mean life.”
When Bea finally presses START, the pinball screen appears, and surprisingly so does a face over a message box-- a punkish looking character with a pink mohawk and sunglasses.
["Whoa! Welcome to This Pinball!"]
"Ooooh, I think we're looking at Pinball or Die here! Is.. is this the Die part, are you going to stab us"
["What is This Pinball? Well, This Pinball is unpredictable! This Pinball is addictive! This Pinball just might drive you crazy!"]
The message box closes and the game begins, a ball popping into place over the plunger.
"No, please, be more vague. That's all right we dodged a cool 80s switchblade, let's spring into action here!"
As soon as Bea pulls back the plunger, though-- the ball bursts into scattered goo. ["Oh no! THIS pinball was an egg."]
"HHHhhhHHH..." Bea lets out a more audible and desperate gasp than is probably warranted. "S...sorry.. how I do, do I get more?"
Baconnaise: Bea don't get attatched to the imaginary game egg ffs
"What if it was an endangered fictional species?"
Another ball pops in over the plunger-- but that's one less ball on your counter, that counted as a loss?
"Okay, easy, easyyy. We just need a little nudge to get you ponging around, I'm sure" Here's the windup..
This one launches into the playing field hits the bumpers, whackity whackity whack! It's just like real pinball, apart from being in 8-bit graphics.
DueyDecimal: Shoot for the slide at the top! It works in Pin-Bot!
"So it's like pinball, except it's not always a ball.. but otherwise it's the same?" Ping ping ping, pinball's not exactly her specialty. "I don't know really I'm just trying to hit the colors, that's good right?"
That's about when, out of the blue, a huge mouth opens up on the pinball board and gulps down the ball, licking its lips, and leaves no trace behind.
["Oh no! THIS pinball was delicious."]
Syrupentine: This pinball is unfair!
HNV: This pinball is out to get you!
DueyDecimal: This pinball is still better than My Life As A Pinball, that one made me kind of nauseous
