Spent some time designing some new features for the shop's web store and working out how that's going to impact the database that drives that. I tried to minimize changes to existing tables and it looks like I only need to add one new column to one existing table. Everything else can be done with more tables, which I'm going to prefer on this project.

I have one of those tiny little USB storage thingies that's small enough I can keep it plugged into my laptop most of the time, but I recently noticed that it's really hard to pull out of other devices so I've tied a phone charm on it which makes that much easier to handle. I had one featuring Nisa that came with a video game (Disgaea 4, I think) still sitting unused in its original packaging. Usability has greatly improved.

Videos showing bugs in games go to my PeerTube server and not to other platforms because every so often a publisher goes insane and if they're going to pull that with me again they'll have to do it on my turf. Here's an unintentional glitch in Death end re;Quest 2. Pro tip: don't name your kid Rotten.

Every time there's another Genshin Impact survey I use it as another opportunity to press for adding the ability to pet the cats and dogs. They look up to the traveler and clearly want some attention.

Thanksgiving food with the cat plan: a fresh batch of samosas, a chicken pot pie, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

I've lost track. How many months has it been Black Friday this year so far?

Somehow ended up breaking a scene in Death end re;Quest 2. Text failed to appear, but turning on auto continue moved the scene along despite the lack of text/voice. Skip scene was also still an option. The scene worked fine on the first play through. Might upload the glitch later. Also, changing the opening movie after you win was a nice touch.

the cat is licking my wrist

So far, our least popular yoga cat cocoa tin has been the mint flavor, which seems strange since cats love mint.

Apparently the latest fad in scam emails are fake Amazon gift cards.

@shahaan@eldritch.cafe Aside from the whole breaking and entering thing, she's an excellent cat.

@shahaan@eldritch.cafe That's kind of exactly how I ended up with a cat (she broke through a basement window and decided to become an indoor cat)

Once I ordered a bunch of a cheap ICs for a project and instead of getting what I ordered they sent that many USB cables (the warehouse had them stocked in the wrong place and I guess the pickers aren't given enough time to notice that). The cables were more expensive than what I ordered, but not worth enough to bother with sending a call tag so I still have a whole bunch of mostly unused legacy full size USB cables to pull out if someone loses their old scanner or printer cable I guess.

@shahaan@eldritch.cafe Not saying this is necessarily the case here, but sometimes you can open up the other side instead.

Bad copy/paste job or a prediction of the US becoming a British colony?

Fun fact: Klee's mom wrote the Teyvat Travel Guide. That explains a lot. #GenshinImpact

It sounds like the cat had an exciting day while I was at work today.
