I’m in an anti-AI mood but venting here is preaching to the choir and I wouldn’t want weirdos in my notifs anyway

I do t want to think about Eee PCs being 20 years old

Genny is a possible solution but it's oriented around using the whole Genesis as a single instrument (using all tracks for polyphony) so it's hard to make it authentic to the real console

Only reason I haven't made more Genesis/Mega Drive music is because I don't want to leave the warmth and comfort of a full featured DAW

Oh that’s cool. I have my own workflow/style, but I’ll give it a look

Gonna have to get used to not being able to fire and thrust at the same time, but the controls are quite serviceable w/ the virtual joystick

This is hard to photograph but you get the idea. Each column is an hour forward, the line gets taller and redder the hotter it’s going to be

DST is messed up because it means I, specifically, have to leave for work in the dark

This is really refreshing though, going back to a game where you just talk to everyone, grind a bit, do a dungeon, and everything is animated quick and snappy

Oh I can get the current time from the weather API too. Not too hard to get it through NTP though

There we go… now it actually pulls the temperature from the current time instead of midnight. It’s quite warm today

I’m getting the time from NTP, things are getting more complicated…

Annoyingly these two boards use different WiFi libraries. But this is coming along, blue means cooler temps ahead

Throwback to this version which used an Uno R3, so no WiFi. I had a PowerShell script on my PC that would pull the weather and send it over serial.

Hmm, maybe I could use this other screen I have which has a thermometer for some reason, then I could show the inside temperature too

Well I've got the black board connecting to a weather API but I am sorta confused what to do with the json it's giving me. I'll figure it out
