Okay I'll stop with that there. I decided to create a blog, as I keep talking about all these projects I have, but I'm limited to just 150 characters. So here I am, starting the year off with a nice blog post. I started this year off trying to distract myself from the fact I'm few thousand miles from home, and I've been digging deeply into fixing one of my old computers. I bricked the dang thing because the PC crashed during a BIOS update, and I was unable to find a BIOS backup. One of the first things I've done, is dig up a Microid Research BIOS file (actually, the one I was trying to flash) that is for the specific motherboard of the NEC Ready 5022. I should be able to get a flasher when I get back and hopefully fix the damn thing by flashing the EEPROM chip.
Another "little" project I've been working on is updating my Touhou LostWord sprite rips. I got super burned out from uploading approximately 600 spritesheets in a two month period about a year ago, and have been away from it for a while. But, I decided to get around to creating and uploading spritesheets for the ~75 new characters added to the game since I last worked on it. A lot of it is gacha fluff, costumes and such, but I'm interested in preserving the game when it inevitably dies in a year or two. I've started uploading that stuff, and the insanity of my work already done can be seen here.
Well, it's late for me (7:05AM, I work nights) so this is where I'll end it for now.
