The idea of spending 50 more years in this world is repellent. I want to go home.

Every problem I have could be fixed by simply going home.

How much longer before I can go home?

The light corvette is a pathetic sort of girl with less firepower than her sisters but has no special abilities and not enough armor or maneuverability to stand out.

Nevertheless, she tries her best.

Let’s all cheer for her, okay?

Windows 9x games in 86Box

I’m currently experimenting with Windows 9x games in 86Box.

Unsurprisingly, running games in Windows 98 SE is easy. I have Batman: Justice Unleashed, Batman: Toxic Chill, Civilization: Call to Power DVD, Civilization II: Test of Time, Homeworld, and Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri installed and running well. Homeworld is the most troublesome but only because it’s slow. Emulating a Pentium II and 3Dfx Voodoo3 simultaneously takes a lot of power but Apple’s M1 running in a MacBook Air does surprisingly well.

Running games in Windows NT 4.0 is more difficult. Homeworld crashes as, apparently, a Matrox Mystique II isn’t a good choice for OpenGL graphics. I’ll need to try different graphics to find one that works better. Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is more successful.

Feel weird and homesick tonight but it also feels right.

I still haven’t figures out what role jades play in the empire. After Together Alone I though that maybe they were dancers that existed just to show off the empire’s wealth, but according to Yellow Diamond they haven’t had a ball in 6000 years so even if that’s true there seems to be a big gap where they kind of didn’t have a purpose. They also appear in Unleash the Light where they kind of seem to act just like citizens. Why would Homeworld spend resources on gems that just exist to inhabit a place?

And there are so many of them too! In Garnet’s flashback to where Ruby and Sapphire meet, one of the silhouettes looks so much like a jade. If they were diplomatic gems with a purpose in a war setting, why are there so many of them compared to sapphires??

I want to write slice of life for the jades set during era 1 and 2 but in order to do that I need to know what they did ∏^∏

Scared and homesick again. Fuck the simulation.

Scared and want to go home.

Underappreciated Superheroine of the Day Issue #8 - “Bombastic Bombshells” - Marionette / Princess Mari.

Our underappreciated superheroine of the day is the stunning and skillful Prihcess Mari of the Micronauts. Marionette is an. Intelligent, skillful tactician. She is also royalty and princess of the planet known as Homeworld.

When Baron Karza attacked Homeworld, Princess Mari became a rebel leader. She led the resistance against the evil Baron. Mari was captured and tortured but was able to survive and escape.

Marionette joined the Micronauts and became an invaluable member of the team with Bug, Acroyear, Biotron and her own robotic companion Microtron.. Princess Mari fell in love with the leader of the Micronauts, Commander Arcturus Rann.

Marionette is a skilled warrior and deserving of the spotlight all on her own. Sadly when the Micronauts series came to an end so too did her appearances in Marvel Comics. Fingers crossed that Marionette amd the Micronauts make a reappearance soon.

GEMS-Ehem…i meant, yay, Gems!

Steven’s Court is composed of all the basic gems, and then Era 3 Gems made for human management, since Steven expands the zoos not only of humans but of other alien creatures too, but mostly humans.

In our Circus-ehem, Court, we have:

Anxiety or Moldavite, who manages research on the new planets ecosystems to make sustainable artificial ecosystems in the zoo(s).

Sleep is for the weak or Ember, who manages the life and physical health of every living thing of the zoo

I’ve been so connected to home today, I don’t want that to go away.
