I saw that today is Pi Day, so I published some changes to my world-renowned 4800Pi program for the Commander X16.
Clarifying the Java Cake Games lore
I had a rude awakening the other day: it turns out the general public is completely clueless as to where JamesGDX ends and Java Cake Games begins. So let’s keep this short and simple and clarify it.
Sorting GBTK once and for all
That’s right, I have released an unfathomably tedious game in which you sort about 300 bad games by which GBTK jam(s) they were entered into.
Octagon version 2 released
How, Elmo, how? It’s quite simple, really. Through a chain reaction of sidetracking, I discovered there are no longer any working APK mirrors of it, and I have no interest in jumping through hoops to get it on Google Play again.
Bread: References & Easter Eggs + Apology
As you might expect from such a simple game, Bread contains nearly zero references & Easter eggs. But not quite zero! It’s one. The total is one.
Resetting HDMI resolution on DMP-BDT220
Today I tried plugging my Panasonic Blu-ray player into a monitor that didn’t support 1080p video signals. Of course, the player was set to 1080p, and none of the instructions I found online helped. I had to resort to reading the manual!

It is commonly said that the Nokia 3310 is indestructible. By extension, we can assume this applies to other Nokias that use the same form factor. But I can proclaim that at least its close relative the 3330 isn’t reliable at all, at least after all these years. I’ve had two of them fail with the message “CONTACT SERVICE”.
Glad I got out when I did
This is a follow-up to Goodbye, Twitter. When I used that website, I generally kept things short. You had to, with only 140 characters, later upped to 280. Even though you could chain multiple tweets together, it wasn’t ideal. Now it’s 4000 for Twitter Blue subscribers.
So let’s return to those days by keeping this post short. I just want to say: I’m glad I got out when I did.
Reviving JustWizards.com
There’s been another Game Breaker’s Toolkit Jam! And it gave me the push I needed to revive some of my earlier internet silliness and let it see the 2020s. If you can’t be bothered reading the rest, it is at justwizards.me, not .com
