This morning I tried the Touhou 17 demo. As usual for this series, it runs very well in wine on linux (older titles in this series often run better in wine on linux than they do on current Windows machines). I will, of course, be focusing on Youmu's route first.

Yesterday's video managed to get 100 views in a bit over 24 hours on YouTube, which is kind of pathetic given that the channel supposedly has >3000 "subscribers". This is pretty normal. It often takes a couple years before people start sharing my videos and they get watched (though about 1 in 10 people who did watch bothered to hit the like button so that's something).

PeerTube had the video several hours earlier. There's coffee roasting talk, plots, and a cat!

OnePlus should not use numbers as model names. OnePlus 7? What kind of name is that? Just call it 8.

The cat wants to know why I'm cooking dinner and doing laundry instead of hugging the cat.

Dear yelp, please stop trying to contact me. Yes, I know people love me on yelp. My strategy to keep it that way is to continue pretending that yelp doesn't exist.

New nvidia driver was available so I'm trying that. For some reason KDE/Qt stuff doesn't want to scale right on Intel so hopefully this doesn't turn back into a crash-fest. Save early, save often, keep backups.

New coffees arrived today. One can go out as soon as I've decided how I want to roast it so that's currently running through product development. I still need to talk to two more suppliers about other coffees.

Contracting some coffee to ship at the start of July.

My book should have better roasting graphs and probably a lack of anthropomorphized fires.

(I did not buy a $2M roaster myself)

Speaking of reference notes, today I received this gift in the mail. The note inside says that this book wasn't published, but was made available to people who bought a $2M Scolari roaster.

I considered writing up a page with additional references/supporting information for the latest video but decided that I was already far enough behind on getting that out and would rather just get the video out for now. Maybe some day I'll go back to writing up some notes.

When I first planned this episode I was worried that maybe it was going to come in too short, but it ended up at just over 38 minutes, which makes it the longest episode in the series to date.

Edits done, render checked, all set to upload tomorrow (I'll probably get that started on PeerTube in about 1.5 hours when it's tomorrow local time and YouTube substantially later in the day).
