Going to ramble a bit about writing.

I'm trying to type up this big document that explains what all my stories are and tells everyone a little bit about them. It's to prevent major confusion/be used as a reference of sorts. I have so many novels. Some are finished, others are not. Some of these stories are about fifteen years in the making. (Some elements of Seasons are from that far back.) Stories like Rascal and Seasons are deemed too self-indulgent (and Rascal is too smutty) to be published, so I'm always going to leave them on AO3 for free. Others, like Geckos and my dragon universe stories and my asexual Incubus series are all books I'd like to see published. Even if it's just self-published. :') (I should probably include this info on the doc...) I'm not always sure it's worth trying to tradpub, not only bc that's a mess, but I'm self-indulgent, and looking at my brand... I'm a spanko. I'm either writing adult spanking (mostly consensual, but sometimes not) or stories that involve children being abused (which includes spanking)... and the two often overlap. Case in point with Rascal: Hazel's into getting spanked, but the interest stems from a childhood, and yet when his father feels he should have had a firmer hand with Hazel, Hazel's freaked out. To him, that's the equivalent of hearing: "I should have sexually violated you more as a child." Which is what I heard too, but what writer doesn't project? And goddamn if I don't feel unpopular for my stances in society... My stories probably get a bit preachy. (Seasons does, I get it, I'm not exactly sorry about that.) I know the reason why I couldn't find many traditionally published books that connected to me as a young spanko. I know why I still struggle to find them in the market. And that's the same reason I fear I don't stand much of a chance outside of self-publishing, and even then, I'm not sure how well I'll do. I'm sure people who don't know shit about spanking as a kink will assume 50 Shades has us covered, but in my experience, most spankos hate that book. Either for its unhealthy portrayals or the bad writing. Which... I borrowed the first book, read it, and still walked away knowing it was an unhealthy portrayal. It didn't warp my perspective. People should fucking read up on BDSM references and nonfictional accounts before practicing. The end. But fiction is fiction. As for the writing quality, I completely get that it's awful and the characters are uninteresting/rely on stereotypes, but I suspect this was her first fanfic, and we always talk about people never being too old to start hobbies. You're bad at them when you start! I wrote like that at twelve, but I started writing stories at seven. So by the time I reach my forties, I'll have plenty of practice under my belt. Not to say I enjoyed it, bc I def did not. But I don't think it works as the "be all, end all" of spanking stories, and it hardly even appealed to spankos. We usually have to find each others' stories online, and then it's a nice little minesweep of "will this fic be from someone who is a creep endorsing abusive spanking or someone who understands fiction should stay in fiction?" game that can be... somewhat traumatic at times to deal with. And personally, I'm really hurting even then to find stories where the characters take from childhood trauma and bring that into consensual adult realtionships... Anyway, here's a picture of my dog to make everything better, since this got a wee bit heavy? He's doing all right for a guy whose tail has a nasty hot spot on it right now, but he's being good and only needs the cone when he's not under survelliance (nighttime or home alone).

the more things change, the more they stay the same.

i'm glad that just like when i was six, i'm still writing now. clicking away on the keyboard, just like someone else i knew.

she'd sit there. it was an older house. built-in desk. old hp monitor. sometimes, it'd be used for cd rom games. i revisited one tonight. i literally squealed with excitement as i played it. i used to play it for hours.

she'd sit there. typing away a story. her sister, seeing that she'd stepped away and was writing, introduces a personality to one of her characters. she comes back and is rather delighted.

she'd sit there. it's late at night, and she's not supposed to be up. she watched to see if her parents' lights were out, and once she was sure, she'd take her thin, shear pink blanket with hearts on it, and cover herself and the monitor. she'd play an online game for hours with her best friend, the character she created.

she'd sit there. she didn't understand minesweeper. i do now. i miss free minesweeper automatically with the computer.

she'd sit there. when she's in the zone, she didn't want to be pulled away. it was upsetting to her. i suppose i've improved since then-- it's easier to keep anyone from being upset by being laidback about it.

she'd sit there. she cried, because she found out her favorite game was going to be closed. she didn't just cry in that seat.

i miss that old house, sometimes. i miss that chair, i miss that monitor. i miss how it would hum and whir, i miss the way things used to look-- they felt real. i miss when an hour felt like four hours.

i miss when things were more simple.

and i miss her. she was so bright. ran everywhere, full of energy. she loved to goof around. her imagination was unrestrained-- constantly listening to music, always dancing, always making up games here and there. one day, she'd want to be a spy. another day, she's a princess. yet another, she'd be a witch. still another, she'd be a doctor.

she misses how bright everyone used to be. i miss it too.

i hope we're finally finding a way to bring it back. i can see that the light is there, and i want it to fill the space like it did before.

all it takes... is just some more time.

and one day, someone will look back, and think that they miss me, too.

5 min readPreparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater) When a physical condition limits mobility, getting around is easier with EyeGaze Edge. The eye-tracking technology integrates with the Ability Drive application used with motorized mobility devices, enabling hands-free control of a wheelchair’s motion. Credit: EyeGaze Inc. Communicating when a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or disease has made speech impossible can be daunting. Specialized eye-tracking technology uses eye movement to enable people living with disabilities to connect one-on-one, over the phone, or via the internet. Eye-tracking systems for computers pinpoint a person’s gaze – where the eye is looking at a screen – by reflecting infrared light off the cornea and capturing it with a camera, using image-processing software to determine the eye’s orientation. The technology isn’t new, but it has become much more widely accessible, thanks in part to a collaboration between NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and a Fairfax, Virginia-based company called Eyegaze Inc. When the company built the first model in 1988, its computers were bulky, requiring three shipping boxes for equipment and a company staff member to set up the system. That cost limited access, and the learning process could be intimidating.  In 1998, NASA and Eyegaze entered a public-private partnership via Congressional funding to make the hardware smaller, more portable, and affordable without compromising efficiency. It also reduced the weight of the original system by six times and its volume by nearly the same factor. Other advancements served as a springboard for two more decades of development. By collaborating with JPL, the two entities were able to miniaturize and improve the company’s Eyegaze Edge system and lower costs, eliminating barriers to ownership of this communications technology. “Working with NASA, we were able to make the device less bulky,” said Preethi Vaidyanathan, an engineer with Eyegaze. “Since then, we integrated the external components into a small camera.” It mounts above or below a standard computer screen and requires less than 15 seconds to calibrate to an individual’s gaze. Visual Surfing Minesweeper and other video games adapted to use eye-tracking technology are just one form of entertainment made possible by EyeGaze for people living with disabilities.Credit: EyeGaze Inc. As personal electronic devices and internet access became commonplace, Eyegaze customers wanted to do more than type. The company’s work with NASA and other government partners put it in a position to meet that demand. Eyeworld integrates with computers, mobile phones, and tablets, allowing the Eyegaze camera to function as an external mouse and keyboard. By enabling almost any computer function, it lets users chat online, post to social media, send emails, text, or make phone calls. It’s also possible to change room lighting, adjust thermostat settings, and operate other environmental controls using Amazon Echo and Google Home via pages of specialized buttons with one-glance button controls.  During the COVID-19 pandemic, Eyegaze integrated communications programs such as Zoom and WhatsApp to allow people to connect with their family and friends. To help combat a sense of isolation, the company added meditation apps and Window Swap, which stream the views from different windows worldwide. Virtual museums take the viewer on guided tours. A music streaming service syncs to favorite music apps and offers the International Radio Garden app to sample music from other cultures. Access to online gaming communities provides another way to connect. “We are constantly thinking about what the customers want. One thing is freedom of movement, so controlling a wheelchair gives them that to some extent,” said Vaidyanathan. Eyegaze Edge integrates with the Ability Drive application used with motorized mobility devices. Looking at a specific button enables hands-free control of a wheelchair’s motion. The Right to Speak Eye-tracking hardware and software make it possible for a person to communicate using the movement of their eyes. This keyboard screen is one of many Eyegaze developed for people with a full range of eye motion. A vertical keyboard is available for those who can only look up and down. Credit: EyeGaze Inc. Numerous medical conditions can lead to the kind of physical paralysis making it impossible to speak. Well-publicized brain and spinal cord injuries in athletes have led to broader awareness. But there are a host of other causes, such as cerebral palsy, ALS, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy. These conditions can result in locked-in syndrome, which paralyzes all voluntary muscles except those that control eye movement. Eye-tracking software is a lifeline for patients, using what may be their only remaining voluntary movement, but even that can be impeded.  Eyegaze Edge measures several eye features, making it possible for the tracker to work even when less of the pupil is visible. The company employs clinical specialists who can troubleshoot issues that may prevent customers from using the system, eye conditions like cataracts, dry eyes, and eyelids that droop, partly covering the pupil. The company now serves individuals in 44 countries, including nations in Southeast Asia and Africa. Adults, children as young as 18 months old, military veterans, and others can communicate using only their eyes. If only vertical eye movement is possible, Eyegaze Edge offers a special vertical keyboard screen. Pages of commonly used phrases communicate a statement with a single glance. Large, easy-to-use buttons allow patients to communicate directly with healthcare providers and caregivers for everyday needs. Clinicians use Eyegaze Edge and teach their patients how to communicate using the technology. In some cases, Vaidyanathan said, this technology even allows people to share their final thoughts with family and friends. “NASA helped us get our technology to the size of a laptop – small and sleek. But we continue to investigate and design our solutions to meet ongoing needs. Communication is a key right, so we must accommodate these different challenges,” she said. NASA has a long history of transferring technology to the private sector. The agency’s Spinoff publication profiles NASA technologies that have transformed into commercial products and services, demonstrating the broader benefits of America’s investment in its space program. Spinoff is a publication of the Technology Transfer program in NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD).

What computer games would Madrigal family play in modern au?

Abuela probably wouldn’t play anything until Mirabel/Camilo introduced her to Zuma, Minesweeper and other old Microsoft games

AND OF COURSE CANDY CRUSH LIKE GUYS COME ON EVERY ELDER SOMEDAY WILL PLAY CANDY CRUSH SAGA i return to playing gardenscapes once a year so yeah.

Julieta and Agustin would play something like Sudoku and Mariokart(when kids ask to play together) in their free time.

Pepa and Felix like playing moving games! Like Just Dance, Kinect Adventures or Kinect Rush. Moving makes them gaining serotonin(which I don’t understand). Kids often join them:D

Bruno likes retro games like Pac-Man, Tetris, or something else on old console. But sometimes gets invited to play with kids online multiplayer games where he doesn’t understand what to do.

Isabela liked playing dressing games before. Now she plays RPG online and crush 13yo children like a punk she is now

She still plays games where you can decorate clothes and interior with plants.

Dolores likes to play Point & Click games. And escape rooms. She also likes detective games and tries to predict who’s killer

She hates playing multiplayer/online games because it’s annoys her even more due to her gift. And nobody calls her to play Fortnite because she hears where are everyone. But sometimes she likes playing Jackbox with family.

Luisa LOVES to play farming games. Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, all of it. Just relaxing and no hasting

Sometimes she plays multiplayer games with Mira and Camilo, but it often disturbs her even more so. No multiplayering.

Oh yeah. Mirabel and Camilo. Yes. Them. Those 15yo gremlins of the family. You often can hear them yelling at game or each other while playing a game. They play al sorts of online multiplayer games. Dota, LoL, Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, Genshin Impact, you call ‘em! But they do want to play with fam’s too. So they call cousins to play multiplayer games. Or host Jackbox games to play with all of the family.

At last, but not least, we have Antonio. He probably not allowed to play computer games that often, but he likes games with animals.

Tonito would always watch how Luisa plays Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing.

Helps Dolores in finding things in Point&Click games.

Likes to makes dresses with Isabela.

Loves to dance with mami Pepa and papi Felix.

Tries to solve Sudokus with tia Julieta and tio Agustin.

Doesn’t understand how Tetris works after many attempts of Bruno trying to explain it, but still likes to watch colorful blocks on tio Bruno’s screen.

And excitedly helps Abuela play Zuma and match those rocks together.

Everyone likes it when Antonio watches them play.

No no! Feel free to info dump, that's very interesting. I wasn't aware there was so many versions of Tetris!! While there are some variations for Minesweeper (some which even actually add things like linked mines and special blocks) there's largely not much variation. I tend to like Arbiter, but competitive minesweeper communities tend to prefer Viennasweeper (some at least). But casual play is easily done online or with Minesweeper X.

Aside from that? As said, there's not much variation. The communities are impressive (some people get it expert games down to 30 seconds) but it's very simple to get into

Still, very interested in checking out some of those versions of Tetris. Is there anything basic I should start with?

What's your highest score (and preferred version) of Tetris? And if you have one, your best time (and difficulty) of Minesweeper

Mild Tetris infodumping time!! :D

TL;DR: I prefer TETR.IO, where my sprint PB is 25.612 (811th global as of writing), Blitz PB is ~435K (not top 1K also just a lot of SDPC looping). I also do not have any best times in minesweeper (yet :3)

ngl i'm realizing most of what I put here is unrelated to the ask but uh um uh

The vast majority of the time, I am playing either on Jstris or TETR.IO. Both of which aren't technically "Tetris" and are unofficial browser-based clients.

Within both of these I normally only play sprint / 40 Lines (very self-explanatory, clear 40 lines as fast as possible). Most of the time I'll just constantly play sprint without really thinking about it while I listen to a YouTube video or go through an album or smth. Unfortunately tetrio doesn't keep track of my total completed sprints but jstris does, and the number has climbed to be just a little high (3,148 as of right now). There are also other modes but they range from slightly to vastly less popular and I've played 40L by far the most sooooooo-

My PB is 25.465 seconds which is very good according to this graph :3

(Jayson is my other name ignore that part)

Also also also fun story my PBs in 3 of the 4 sprint categories on jstris I got within a few hours (I got a 100L pb on that day but improved it later 😔)

Also this is even more unrelated but I feel like mentioning; tetrio and jstris play largely similarly but with minor differences to DAS and finesse but I've had someone try to die on the hill that tetrio finesse is better which is rather silly of them in my imo

uh um there is Blitz mode on tetrio which i don't play often cause it requires too much mental attention and also a lil bit of luck and also also lots of SDPC DPC looping which is really cool and satisfying but also ngl kinda lame but

(replayed at 2x speed cause 2 minutes is a long time)

Occasionally, I play the default mode on Tetris.com. This is an offical client and generally far more popular. Unfortunately I don't have my high scores saved cause i just switched to a new PC build but my best is around ~700K. I pulled it up while writing since it's been a while and did pretty decent but I really struggle with instadrop gravity

Also worth noting is Tetris 99 since it's what got me into tetis in the first place. I have ~700 hours according to my Switch profile and played around 3,000 games (mostly in 2020). Not really much of highscore to point at with this one except one time I won 10 games in a row which is neat.

(I couldn't find the screencap from the 10 games in a row bit but I did find this which is way funnier)

nowadays I absolutely can not be bothered to play this game cause I've gotten to a point where it is boring and slow and uninteresting and if i want to play a long stressful multiplayer tetis i will go to Tetra-League instead.

I played a bit of PPT and PPT2 but never really got into it, I think my highest rating was around 11 or 12K on PPT.

also I've recently tried playing the mobile app and it is awful and frustrating and terrible and bad and lags a whole lot. my highscore there is like 1.3 million which would've put me far and away in first place in my city, but for some reason it decided that I lived in New Jersey that day so instead I was like 30th.

I got into NEStris at one point and I'm pretty sure my best was a little over 300k but i never put that much practice into it.

most of this was entirely unrelated to the ask but I really felt like ranting :3

I've been editing my experiences so much and honestly it has improved my mental health by a lot. I have done it slowly so I didn't realize how different it is now but I basically live in a different world from the one I used to. I am going to share the things I did to turn my internet into a single player game made just for me, and maybe it will help your mental health too!

I downloaded an add on that turns off all comments on basically everything, I turned off tracking on everything I could and reset my phone's ID every week or two so ads are now hilariously random (I know there are still trackers/cookies everywhere but it really does do a lot in terms of ads at least), I have slowly stopped buying from places like Amazon and shien, I block everyone and everything and I have content filters on anything I do. I no longer mindlessly scroll and if I get bored I either read a random Wikipedia page or play minesweeper or other minimalist games (hard ban on phone games with micro transactions). Hard ban on Reddit and other social media. Hard hard hard ban on any comment section, no matter what there will always be something there to piss you off and that is by design. I have also recently changed how I interact with Tumblr and it made me feel way better. No "mandatory" daily stuff and nothing too raw, I genuinely feel the the act of being observed will change the experience so I feel that raw stuff needs to be private (for me) lest I edit my own thoughts for the consumption of others no matter how minor. And finally, anonimizing myself everywhere possible. No face pics, no real names, burner emails and usernames. I know this one especially is not for everyone but removing that connection to myself was very freeing. I was able to say and do things without worrying about how it might impact me if someone saw, and more importantly for me, it freed me of an avenue of unhealthy external validation. I used to find myself very hung up on pictures I would post of myself and feel bad if I didn't get a certain reaction and even posting pictures because I thought they would get a good response or not posting ones I thought no one else would like. I think that comes from a lack of self esteem I have and I found that removing myself from that kind of scrutiny let me find confidence in myself and my appearance again.

So yeah! I know it's kinda rambling but over the course of the past year or two I've really started to find the boundaries that serve me and it turns out all that stuff was, to put it lightly, a complete vibe killer. There was a lot of other stuff I did for mental/physical health that also really helped but my online experiences were a shockingly huge part of that. It took a long time to get here but I really like it. I don't compare half as much, I'm much more mindful of my time, my self talk is better, and I have a lot more confidence in myself. I hope that if you read this far you find a tip or two that might help you! Good luck on your journey!

The default Microsoft XP Games

This evening I have decided to write some nonsense. It’s my god-given right to bullshit, and a gift I’ve been cultivating for years. Also because I’m tired and have other things to be spending precious brainpower on.

After pondering some ideas, some silly, some sillier, I landed on this. The original plan was to go through the Google Doodle games, but A. I couldn’t find a repository of them in the approximately one minute I tried looking, and B. There’s probably, like, a lot of them. Plus, XP was the OS of the family computer when I was a kid, so you bet your ass I tried these out. Er, most of them. Because when you’re a 6-year-old looking for shit to do and the edutainment well is running a little dry, you turn to some odd places. So I have little a nostalgia, as a treat.

Okay so, first on the list is….a bunch of Internet games. Backgammon, Checkers, Hearts, Reversi, and Spades. Now, I’ve heard of most of these in board/card game form (dunno what Spades is), but it’s hard to give these any sort of love because… you know… I didn’t play them. At all, ever. Kid me wasn’t going to be able to figure out how to get an online game running in 2004, let alone sign up for an account or even connect to the internet when we had dialup. At the same time, I imagine these would have ended up kinda popular, because hey- loads of people have nostalgia for the default games, and these were ones you could play with other people! I’m surprised they didn’t have Chess on there, actually.

They really looked like that, huh.

Anyway, you can’t play any of these anymore, the server support ended in….2019?! Who the fuck was running the XP Internet Checkers service in 2019? That’s a full 10 years after updates and support for the OS actually stopped. Why did it take so long to shut down these random servers?

Moving on, we have Hearts. A…local version of the Internet Hearts, I suppose. This is one I definitely remember attempting to play as a kid, but apparently I never tried reading the actual instructions. Or if I did, I sure couldn’t parse them. I just remember losing a lot, a streak I have clearly continued, as I sure have still yet to Get Good At Games. I’m going to be honest, I probably can’t be bothered figuring them out now. Even if I did, who am I going to play with? You need 4 players for this game, exactly, and I have a hard enough time getting 3 other people to play Magic with.

Next thing, going very alphabetically here, is Freecell. The other one I never figured out. At least with hearts, I could make moves, pretend like I was playing the game, but I’m pretty sure with Freecell I just never actually figured out how to start the game. After a brief moment of research, it appears to be a Solitare variant (oh we’ll get to you), and considering I’ve never heard it brought up elsewhere, it’s probably not a very popular one. Something to be said about messing with what works. According to good old fashioned Wikipedia, it’s a version where almost every single theoretically possible hand is winnable, which is nice, but I’m sure most people are still going to cock it up.

Speaking of Solitaire variants, might as well bring up Spider. I definitely actually figured out how to play this one at some point, likely a result of having figured out regular Solitaire. It is, however, much more complicated, I believe, what with using more than one deck and just having stacks of stacks. This also makes it more difficult, and thereby, more frustrating- apparently as opposed to Freecell this one has approximately a 1 in 3 winrate if you know what you’re doing, and I don’t really like those odds. Of course, apparently regular Solitaire (aka Klondike, but most people call it Solitaire because of Microsoft) is even worse, so.

Remind we why this is called Spider again?

Finally the big one, Regular Fucking Solitaire. Known by many names- Patience, American Patience, Demon Patience, and Triangle. Wikipedia, what the fuck?

I think at this point Solitaire is not just iconic of XP, but of Windows in general. Perhaps I’m showing my age a bit here, since I’m sure it was in a version of the OS long before I showed up to give it a shot, but obviously its what I know it from. Aside from just the game itself, even the victory screen itself is well remembered, cards duplicating and cascading across the screen. I don’t know who programmed that, or who decided it should be a thing, but they made a good choice- it’s incredibly satisfying.

Solitaire is just kind of really satisfying. It’s a simple enough puzzle, with a huge amount of potential depth and billions of possible combinations, making it kind of the perfect timewaster. Did they know what they were doing when they added it to Windows in the first place? Imagine how much productivity that decision cost offices worldwide.

Nahh, those fuckers weren’t getting up to anything anyway.

There are two games remaining to talk about, and we might as well get Minesweeper out of the way. I don’t know why, but I never really got into Minesweeper. Just bounced right off of it. Actually, in retrospect, it’s probably because 1. I didn’t know what I was doing, and B., even when I did figure it out, I definitely took a while to figure out the right click -> flag mine input. The game is not especially appealing to kids when you don’t have that sorted, and honestly, I’m not sure it gets much better when you do.

Finally, the last and clearly best game on the list, motherfucking  3D Pinball Space Cadet. Apparently this is actually one map included as a demo for an actual buyable game with a whole 3 boards, but I can’t imagine anyone buying it. For one, it’d have to be pretty cheap to make that worth it, especially since we already have one for free- and yeah, we have a third of it already, who needs to buy it.

I’ve always really enjoyed Pinball, even if I’m not very good at it. I’m not the type to obsess over it, or get competitive like people apparently do. I just really enjoy it, and would love to have my own table someday. And I think this game is the cause.

Unlike the previous entries on this list, 3D Pinball feels more like an actual game rather than a timewaster. It has art, and sound effects, and flashing lights and everything. Those sound effects are absolutely burned into my brain at this point. Considering only it and Minesweeper aren’t existing things you could already do with playing cards (or in the case of the Internet series, various boards), they’re the only ones you can really apply video game design philosophy to.

And the result I think is fairly interesting. 3D Pinball, despite having the full power of early 2000s processing at its fingertips, plays much like an actual machine as compared to other Pinball-based video games. One could argue this is a result of its default inclusion- too much Stuff would alienate the gentile audience they were going for, after all. The choice of Space Cadet as a theme suits well the 3D design- both three-dimensional games and, well, Space travel felt similarly ambitious for a while, and I’m sure this game was a lot of people’s introductions to 3D on a PC.

I don’t think this game has had the longevity of Solitaire and Minesweeper in the greater public eye- likely a result of them being around for longer and available in more than three versions of Windows- but for those around my age, who grew up on XP and were attracted to the shiny thing, I could argue it’s just as memorable.

And that’s the full listing. A bit hit or miss, but you have to keep in mind that these were both free and developed by Microsoft before they really had a games studio. These days, what with Xbox, Microsoft not making games really seems odd to think about, but outside of a limited few like these, that was just the facts.

And then they went and made some really weird ones for Vista and 7, and they weren’t good (except Mahjong but they didn’t really make that so much as port it), and then for Windows 8/10 they made them downloadable and…put ads on them….

Man, bring me back to those days, huh.

1, 11, 17, 22?

Thanks, fam!

1. what weird new hobby have you picked up?

Playing Picross in lieu of doing something useful. orz (otoh I'm glad I'm finally learning how to play it :D)

11. are you taking online classes? opinion on those classes?

I was until very recently. They have their perks (no need to get your butt to school + free access to tea at all times), but it really worked better from some classes than it did for others.

17. if you could escape this pandemic into an existing fictional universe, where would you go?

Since it's been all* I've been writing about recently, I'd go to the Discworld on a lark.

*well, 50%

22. what have you been doing more of?

Acting like it's 2015 by binge-playing minesweeper while listening to Let's Plays at ungodly hours. Oops.
