Last weekend I spent 8 hours in a car and in a few days I'm doing even more to see the eclipse.
(no tattoo for Luz because this is pre-King-ceañera and while in Connecticut it's legal for minors to get tattoos with parental permission, I don't know whether the average place would actually offer that! Hunter's arm is at the wrong angle to see his.)

Wanted to search 'owl house hunter epilogue' to get a reference pic and I'm intrigued by the duckduckgo suggested searches.

Yesterday at the office I thumbnailed an Owl House fan comic on a sticky note. I didn't look up reference images, and I drew small to fit twelve panels on a tiny canvas, so they ended up... well.

I'm working on getting into Umineko myself, so some notes:
It is 100+ hours of visual novel.
Like, no choices or gameplay, just click to advance.
It's apparently a closed-circle murder mystery/death game(?) with supernatural and meta elements, which sounds awesome.
The protagonist's name is Battler. I'm not sure why???
It features a character that I've seen described as 'a Vriska'.
From the stuff I've seen about it, I gather there is something special and maybe meta about red text.
I haven't started it yet; I'm reading the prior work by the publisher: Higurashi, which is a murder mystery time loop(?) set in a small town rumored to be cursed.
I've been taking a break, actually, because I've been sick and couldn't think too hard :(
The full names of the VNs are Higurashi: When They Cry (higurashi = cicadas, not sure why it's untranslated) and Umineko: When They Cry (umineko = seagulls). Together they're referred to as the When They Cry series (there's an ongoing third one, Ciconia, which is about child soldiers in a steampunk future or something???).
They're available on Steam but sold separately by chapter- Higurashi is 8 chapters plus some bonus content; Chapter 1 is free as a sort of demo and the rest are like $6 each.
The Steam version lets you switch between original and remastered graphics. I play with the original but check out the remastered whenever they bust out a new sprite.
IMO the remastered (on Steam, found out that console is different just now) Higurashi graphics are clean but kinda soulless. The original ones are dynamic and charming but they're also... well, see for yourself.
^ That's Rena Ryuugu. One of the first things we learn about her is that she loves cute things. When she sees something cute she goes into a hypercompetent baby-talking trance state (second picture).
'Cute things' includes a life-size Colonel Sanders Statue she found in the illegal dumping grounds.
That sort of kickstarts the protagonist's involvement in the mystery.
Also part of the setup is that the protagonist is in a games club with four schoolmates of varying ages and they give everything the 5D chess treatment, from Old Maid to zombie tag to Clue. Cannot wait to see how this energy extends to the main mystery.
I'm not sure what else I can say without spoilers, but I really liked chapter 1!
Have you ever considered reading umineko? Its a murder mystery vn with some Bonkers metanarrative elements, a killer soundtrack and a really interesting way of handling its narrative in general
I didnt know anything about umineko until this ask outside of it being nerd shit so now I think I have to check it out and inevitably be embarrassing about it

...in retrospect, posting this when I was exhausted from a long day at work was a mistake. I went over how I got the inputs, but didn't even explain the code. So, take 2.
This is a script written in Python, a programming language that I am not very familiar with but that can be run online without any setup. The text in the script has three parts:
A function to solve Captain Cajun instances in the abstract
Data that will inform the program about the specific instance to be solved
Invocation of the function with the data
The function is recursive, meaning that when it is invoked, it will take a step towards solving the problem, then invoke itself again with the updated data. Specifically, it will determine which zoombinis are allowed to sit in a particular seat, then invoke itself again to fill the next seat. It will continue until all seats are full- in which case it outputs a description of the seating arrangement- or there are no zoombinis that would be allowed in the current seat, then it rewinds to the last time it made a choice and tries something else. In theory I could have made it stop completely when it finds a solution that works, to save time and energy, but a) 16 is a small enough dataset that it runs quickly and b) I didn't feel like looking up how to do that properly in Python.
How does it determine which zoombinis are allowed to sit in the current seat? That's what the matrices (those big squares of zeroes and ones) are for. Imagine the seats are numbered 1-16 (or 0-15 by computer science convention, as in the code. It's kinda like how US floors go first, second, third, and UK floors go ground, first, second). If seats 1 and 2 are adjacent to each other on the Captain's raft, so zoombinis there need to share a trait, you mark a 1 in the cell in 1st row and 2nd column of the matrix. If they aren't adjacent, you mark a 0. You repeat this with 1 and 3 for first and third, 2 and 3 for second and third, and so on, until every cell is filled out. I used the graph-making site for this, because I found it faster and easier to visualize. You do the same thing with the zoombinis- numbering them, then marking a 1 if they share at least one trait and a 0 if they don't.
Here's the level 4 seat with adjacency lines drawn on, the graph I made online, and the matrix generated by the graphing website.
The zoombini graph looks really messy because many of them share traits with enough others that the lines are hard to make out, so I won't include a picture of that.
The code fills the seats in numerical order. To determine whether a certain zoombini can sit in seat X, it will check the filled seats by looking up the number in the first row and the Xth column, then the second row and the Xth column, up to the X-1st row and the Xth column. Whenever it finds a 1, meaning the seats are adjacent, it gets the number of the zoombini sitting there. Then it checks the trait matrix, using the numbers of the zoombini being validated and the seated zoombini, to see if they share traits. If the zoombini shares traits with those in all adjacent seats, it marks the zoombini down and sends the description of the new problem state to the next instance of the function to fill the next seat.
I'm getting sleepy so I hope that's clear enough.
Here's some output for the instance that I've been getting screenshots from:
I will come back to this at some point; I'd like to post the script as text so people can save it and use it for themselves, along with instructions for using the graph site and python online interpreters. I might also do a line-by-line breakdown of what's happening in the code.
Throwing this out there: is it unsolvable
Every zoombini can only sit next to zoombinis with whom they share at least one feature. The seats are arranged diagonally so each zoombini must have similar zoombinis on all sides.

Here’s my solution:
They’re numbered in order from the original image (starting with 0 because coding). Some of the features got chopped as I was moving them around- 9 has a spring, and 6 has that tuft hairstyle.
Here’s the code:
traitGrid is a matrix where if zoombinis x and y share a trait, the cells [x][y] and [y][x] have the value 1, and 0 if they don’t. seatGrid is similar, for seats being adjacent.
Rather than filling out 16x16 matrices by hand, I found a site that lets you use a mouse to create a graph and then generates an adjacency matrix:
I did have to manually add the brackets though.
This code should generalize to other seat arrangements (if it was the highest level, with a normal square grid, I’d just have done math on the seat number to determine adjacency instead of bothering with the grid, but hexagonal grids are weird).
Here’s the rest of the setup:
Calling the function:
And the start of the output.
Throwing this out there: is it unsolvable
Every zoombini can only sit next to zoombinis with whom they share at least one feature. The seats are arranged diagonally so each zoombini must have similar zoombinis on all sides.

This is a response to tumblr user gallusrostromegalus’s Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic, The Power of Friendship (And This Gun I Found!). I am not linking them because I don’t know the current status of how tumblr treats links. It has not yet come up in the fic, but Gallus has stated that Phoenix Wright exists in the fic (as it takes place in ‘Nihonifornia’), and I figured out from some of the comments and worldbuilding posts that Joey’s lawyer was Phoenix. I was thinking about how meeting the other AA characters would go...

I’m pretty sure it didn’t use to say ‘Ryan’ three times.
How long has your header been Like That? I know I noticed it before today but didn't have time to say anything, but for all I know it could have been weeks.
Literally since the beginning of my blog back in 2014. It was a commission I sent out to a friend for a lets play channel where my reference was "here is my current Steam Library". I have been too lazy to change it.

Yeah, no problem, when it comes to subconscious music stuff I once made myself a nice tune for my ACNH island and then realized it was just Mr. Blue Sky.
When you played it on stream I did have a moment of “?!? Did I... cause this?”
Here’s the BeepBox link (ungodly long because that’s how they encode their stuff): https://www.beepbox.co/#8n31sbk4l00e07t2cm0a7g0fj07i0r1o3210T1v0L4u94q1d2f7y2z1C0c2A9F5B5V6Q290dPa883E0011T1v1L4u91q1d4f6y2z1C0c2AbF6B8V9Q28c0Pb745E0001T5v1L4u20q1d5f5y1z8C0c0h8H_SRJ6JIBxAAAAkT2v4L4u15q0d1f8y0z1C2w0b4xd5hw00000id18R0000018j4xc000004xci4M00000p25TFEZ20w85dvwU78VlSjprtIFGHPcCGKOCGCGhGRkRSpKjlmhQAulBAuW-GL9OqqWWGYD9FQSmTV-jjlnprohQTWXbrIX9FGHIKP2YIR-lI96PhWb1BShVtVtAunttRT8HRTPt8YKQR_hvw910442gg91Ez0hUyMsKOfbLbIzOXHKKXm2KVoww221884wRShQjpIMA17jdlSrtYGfntKT_944yfLYzECXX_8WpGKPoxnBhWXTiYkOVfaM41nnnnnnnn2gdJJddJJttttttJJszrtBbWqWWqqqGWqGWqqp6OKjwqWWWWWWXXGXdZddttdddltdltdd9Q-GKCGKCCCGKCGKCCAWsarn8Fjte0YGGGhRRSlWWQT7BBU0
I was listening to Super Smashup Ultimate (the song), and I was like 'what's this song playing under D.A.N.C.E? It sounds so familiar... reminding me of anime but not quite... contrasting colors and dancing? ...Bad Apple?' After realizing the truth, I spent a while googling sheet music and playing with BeepBox, and now I have 27 seconds of Bad Apple Inkantation that I can listen to whenever I want.
I want you know that I think that this ask subconsciously dug itself into my brain with my most recent mashup because I had completely forgotten about this ask and yet I had made the exact combination.
So thank you for the unintentional subliminal messages? (I'd love to hear the BeepBox stuff tho!!!)

Mad Rat 4/20
@chongoblog
This happened two weeks ago, but at the time I was sworn to secrecy about puzzle solutions.
So, my friends and I have been participating in an ARG. We got stumped on one of the puzzles, which had to do with image interlacing.
With no idea how to proceed, we put that to the side for about a week.
One of my friends sent a link to a song called Rät by Penelope Scott; it’s about becoming disillusioned with Elon Musk and Silicon Valley culture. Now, this was a Tuesday, so I was still in Panasonic Blu-Ray Hell, and I thought spreading it might help. To paraphrase the conversation:
Me: I also have a song about rats to share, but I’m asking permission first because it’s an earworm.
C: is it the giant rat one
Me: it samples that
C: I think I know it
Me: does it have panasonic blu-ray?
C: idk
Me: then that’s not the song. [link] Enjoy Panasonic Blu-Ray Hell.
C then sent what they were thinking of, “Year of the Rats - Jerma985 Animation”.
I immediately think, “hey, that looks like binary for ASCII.” I open up a converter and start typing; my strategy at times like these is to put about three bytes in and then submit to see if the output is sensible before typing all the rest. I hit convert, not expecting anything in particular...
(The full answer turned out to be ‘Rattlesnake’)
