ALLAHU FOOD-BAR!

by Alxala

I survived my nightmare shift after doing some web-based computer learning and other work stuff on a warm, sunny afternoon. I had a nicely cool shower, and then I decided to play food terrorist by combining the last of the Flamin’ Hot Nacho Doritos with some taco stuff:

The reason why is because I’ve been watching a little bit of Rachael Ray during my break, and she was making a recipe for BBQ nachos which are nachos topped with melted cheese sauce and barbecued pork in which I find that really disgusting. 🤮

I’m still thinking long and hard about what kind of food substance that Tomala and I are going to make for dinner, Rachael Ray-style. 😛

Upcoming Birthday Open Thread

by Alxala

Still nothing much to write other than tomorrow is my birthday, and I have already decided what I’m gonna have for dinner and dessert which is fast food along with hot fudge sundaes and a chocolate cake slathered with chocolate frosting. I’m also thinking about looking up on Amazon to get a couple of t-shirts that involve one of my favorite NIckelodeon cartoons back in the 1990’s.

Some Game Sprite Sheet Shenanigans

by Alxala

A few days ago I decided to publish a couple of sprite sheets in The Spriters Resource website that include title screen sprites from the game Toy Pop. One for the original Namco arcade and the other for the Sharp X1 version of the game.

The reason why I uploaded them is because nobody bothered making those game sprite sheets, so I had to do it myself. Feel free to click on the links to check out my sprite sheets in the TSR website if anyone of you folks are interested.

Sunday Morning Open Thread

by Alxala

I apologize for the lack of posting for the last few days ago. I still have nothing much to write other than just chillaxin’ on my lunch break at work as I’m inching closer to my upcoming birthday. I’ll be taking my time to think about what kind of cake I want, and also what kind of dinner for my birthday while I’m at it.

Sumthin’ Ain’t Right In Bawderlandz Tres

by Alxala

I discovered something weird yesterday. I was going to punch in a SHiFT code to get some keys in Borderlands 3 but as soon as I click on ‘Social’, my game decided to have a stroke because one of my hard drives that had Borderlands 3 and several other Steam games in it had gone offline. So now everything is working fine in Borderlands 3, and I even obtained the keys before the code has reached the expiration date. Thank goodness for that, and I also got the Daemon head customization last month. 🙂

But for now I’ll wait on a new set of SHiFT codes from Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel so that I can earn more keys and grab new guns, grenades, shields and class mods.

Have some pix of Ze Handsome Cat Trio

Breaking News: Stewie and Morty haven’t decimated Chuckie yet, despite his many attempts at annoying the two cats. He now has the ability to join me in the bathroom whenever I take a shower or brush my teeth. Not only is Chuckie not afraid of water just like his Uncle Morty, he can also use the sink to pretend it’s his little charging pad. 😛

Benchmarking Fun with 3DMark

by Alxala

Once again there wasn’t much to write about, but I decided to do some more benchmarking with 3DMark on my PC while I was watching Rachael Ray earlier this afternoon just to score some achievements, and so far I have obtained three of them: One for getting a good score for my hardware, another for getting an excellent score for my hardware, and the third for running all four DirectX 12 Ultimate feature tests. 🙂 Now I’ll have to wait on getting more 3DMark achievements in another time because I found one for running a benchmark between Midnight and 6 o’ clock in the morning, and also another for running Time Spy Extreme on New Year’s Day in which I somehow missed that achievement this year because I got sidetracked by chores and real life.

Oh well, guess I’ll wait ’til next year to get that ‘New Year’s Resolution’ achievement I’m hoping for.
