I'm going to semi-retire from the game preservation scene.
This is by no means a decision that I took on a whim. I am genuinely sad that it came to be this way, I've been involved in this stuff for a genuinely long time, I've seen many things, met many great people, also the bad and stupid dramas, which shouldn't really be discounted either, even though this was not the kind of thing that affected my decision.
I have no regrets on how I handled my job and I wouldn't have it any other way. But I just don't have the heart anymore. For roughly a year as I'm typing this, I started to seriously resent any attempt at public releases and contextual research.
This kinda sucks for how I want things to be treated with respect. I blame myself for giving myself too much responsibility and was not able to successfully pass down some of it to other people. This definitely did not help as it took a toll mentally speaking. But despite trying to change this, I found out how I just stopped caring about details, and just wanted to move on. I gave myself a little more time to ponder about it, and my final decision is that, yeah: I need to quit, I really don't have the heart anymore for it.
That doesn't mean I want to stop everything though, there are still things I need to do, and still have interests with, like with Satellaview and 64DD, but I want to gradually move away, and eventually pass the baton to people who still has the fuel. But I don't intend to disappear.
I still have a burning passion for the obscure parts of Nintendo, that's not changing any time soon, but the work I've been doing really just felt like a chore, and it was a job I've been doing for years.
I've been involved with Satellaview since around 2008/2009 with my Hello World SNES homebrew adapted for BS-X. The technical knowledge of the Satellaview was just very limited. I've started then a project to at least reveal how the satellite signal worked, and I got it working (then nocash did even further work that shouldn't be discounted, but he's really just too fast at this). It was my first reverse engineering project, and it was very formative, and shaped my knowledge of computer science like never before. I've then worked on emulation and preservation, managing quite a few dumps of Satellaview content.
Then in December 2014 I've had my first version of the 64DD Disk Dumper, done with help from the N64 scene people, on December 31st, all commercial 64DD titles were dumped, then I worked on 64DD emulation for a bunch of emulators, based on the works of Happy_ from MAME, and eventually was able to write my very own emulation code from scratch and higher accuracy than before on Ares. This year will be 10 year anniversary of my 64DD Disk Dumper.
So I've been doing this stuff for like, 15 years at this point, and now... Aside from the fact that I haven't been as into it as I used to, I also got older. I'm at an age where I'm sorta thinking if I want to do other things with my life, but in that case, other things have to be put on the wayside, to an extent.
I can't say what I will bring in the future, I have tons of ideas, and besides, I'm still gonna be behind a few game preservation works here and there, but my involvement will be limited from now on.
Also, Nintendo: Don't think I'm done datamining your NSO apps lol You still have so much shit that we don't have and I'm not gonna give up on having hints.

my weekly drop into ur inbox 💖 😚 hope ur week's going well!!!! im being nosy but i think i've seen that u study? what do u study 👀 what's it like <33333
Tumblr media
HEYYYY PRETTY 💓💓💓. i’m a computer science major !!! i mainly code n do software engineering stuff, lots of math and numbers but it’s fun. at first i studied psychology but ig i kinda grew out of it. at one point i did wanna go to med school to keep the parents happy but i chickened out 💔💔. blood makes me queasy LOL and i’ve been more into tech stuff growing up anyway
it’s cool !!! i’m working on getting a bs in comp-sci actually, and after that i’ve been leaning on maybe going toward the cyber-security field or maybe IT. i mainly deal with lots of programming n digital forensics which is neat

Rachel told Joe that there were three Computer Science majors in her hall floor. We know about her and Amber, but who's the third?
We know Sarah is ambiguously pre law, Joyce is Elementary Education, Dina is some sort of paleontology, Billie and Dorothy are in journalism, Carla is in engineering, Mary is art, Ruth is an English major and Malaya didn't live there yet. As far as I can tell that leaves Other Rachel, Roz, Sierra, Grace, Agatha and Mandy. Is it one of them or some unseen character?
if we're pretending that there's an "engineering" degree at our fictional IU Bloomington that isn't really just a subsection under the computer science school umbrella that Carla is majoring in (whoops), then I'm pretty sure the third person is Other Rachel.
honestly, looking at the available majors, amber should really be getting a BS in Media Arts and Science, aka MAKING DA VIDYA GAMES, but her courseload at this point in her schooling would probably be pretty identical to a plain-ass computer science major anyway.

Week 1: Course Orientation and Project Management Consultation
New A.Y. as a BS in Computer Engineering student in the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines.
Last August 13, 2024, with the start of the A.Y. 24-25, one of the subjects I'm enrolled in is Software Design and Engineering, taught by Engr. Carl Suasola. In the first photo, it is when we had our course orientation. Engr. Suasola introduced as to the course itself on what it is all about, what to expect and what to do in order to complete and pass the subject. Engr. Suasola's way of conducting the orientation was new and freshing, it is not boring and I had a lot of fun while listening attentively.
Second photo taken last August 16, 2024, was when we had our consultation with Engr. Suasola concerning about the overall content of our manuscript in our Project Management. Engr. Suasola's attention to detail was exceptional and help me think more outside the box, he helped us a lot in terms of our Diagrams on what should we focus on and what to omit.
Overall, the first week set a promising tone for the semester, with Engr. Suasola's support and innovative teaching methods, I believe that it will be fun but also (maybe) a daunting semester for me.
CHEERS!

i'm not one to say "only go to college for the stuff you love" or whatever, and certainly don't go to college with the intent to go to grad school from the get go (find out if research is right for you first for the love of god) but i am fascinated by people who go for a degree in, say, biology or physics or chemistry without a genuine adoration for the subject/plans to go into a specific bit of the industry/etc. like, you're putting yourself through a lot of work for not very much reward! STEM degrees do pay well, yes, but "pays well" vastly differs depending on which degree you're talking about. computer science tends to have starting salaries (bachelors-only) around 100k, engineering around 80k. conversely, biology has an average starting salary of around 55k (above the US median, certainly, but not by that much) and chemistry runs around 65k. if you lack any passion for the subjects, why on Earth would you go for them? (if the problem with engie STEM is that you can't do math then go to business school. or give up on getting a degree that pays above median and go into something you actually have a passion for.)
i've met many people who are getting chem degrees based on "thought it sounded cool" and it gives me a headache. it's not like the pay with a bachelor's is CRAP or anything, but it's not worth doing just for the money! i'm doing this because it's something i enjoy that can make me less likely than average to be underemployed or underpaid. it's not a degree that is fun unless you really like blowing shit up and have a slightly reckless attitude, and don't mind watching paint dry and doing a good deal of algebra. (if you fit the bill here, though, and don't intend on going on to grad school as of just yet, may i recommend going for the BS in chemistry route rather than the BA? your paycheck will thank you even if you have to do multivariate calculus for a semester.)

"STEM Education in High School: Preparing Tomorrow's Innovators"
Tumblr media
In recent years, the field of education has witnessed a growing emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. STEM education has become more than just an acronym; it's a transformative approach to learning that opens doors to exciting career opportunities and a deeper understanding of the world around us. In this blog post, we'll delve into what STEM is and its significance, particularly in the context of high school education.
Stem stands for Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. an umbrella term used to group together the distinct but related technical disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.STEM education also provides a platform to introduce problem-based learning, cooperative learning, expand problem-solving capabilities, and introduce students to the use of engineering design.STEM is an educational program developed to prepare primary and secondary students for college, graduate study and careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In addition to subject-specific learning, STEM aims to foster inquiring minds, logical reasoning and collaboration skills.STEM in higher education teaches students to think critically, prepares them for careers and creates professionals that can work across scientific disciplines to solve challenging problems.
In the Philippines, STEM is a two-year program and strand that is used for Senior High School (Grades 11 and 12), assigned by the Department of Education or DepEd. The STEM strand is under the Academic Track, which also includes other strands like ABM, HUMSS, and GAS. The purpose of the STEM strand is to educate students in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, in an interdisciplinary and applied approach, and to give students advanced knowledge and application in the field. After completing the program, the students will earn a Diploma in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In some colleges and universities, they require students applying for STEM degrees (like medicine, engineering, computer studies, etc.) to be a graduate of STEM, if not, they will need to enter a bridging program.
In Senior High School, STEM courses cover a range of subjects. Biology explores life sciences, chemistry focuses on matter and reactions, physics delves into the laws of the universe, and mathematics encompasses algebra, calculus, geometry, and statistics. Computer science introduces programming, while environmental science addresses ecological concerns. Engineering and design offer problem-solving skills, astronomy explores celestial objects, and geology covers Earth sciences. High schools may also provide specialized courses like robotics, biotechnology, and health sciences, catering to specific STEM interests and preparing students for future careers in these fields. There are lots of Courses you can take if you took Stem Strand in Senior High School such as BS Nursing which is Science related, BS Entertainment and Media Computing, an ICT related course, BS Chemical Engineering, BS Applied Mathematics which is about Mathematics and Engineering and many more courses are offered if you took STEM as your strand.
STEM has a lot of benefits to students:
1. It promotes innovative thinking by teaching students to tackle modern problems with creative solutions.
2. STEM education encourages curiosity, fostering a sense of wonder and a drive to explore and discover.
3. It inspires creativity and ingenuity, allowing students to develop creative problem-solving skills.
4. STEM education emphasizes collaboration and communication, essential skills in many STEM careers.
5. It teaches students to accept failure as part of the learning process, building resilience and the ability to learn from mistakes.
6. STEM education prepares students for high-demand and well-paying careers, with STEM workers earning significantly more on average than non-STEM professionals and experiencing strong job growth prospects.
In the future, STEM education is expected to evolve further, incorporating emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and renewable energy. It will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the workforce and addressing global challenges.
In summary, STEM education in high school is not just a strand but a transformative approach to learning that equips students with the skills, knowledge, and mindset to succeed in the 21st century. It prepares them for careers that are not only financially rewarding but also essential for addressing the complex challenges of our world. Whether a student aspires to be a biologist, software engineer, or an astronaut, STEM education in high school provides a strong foundation for their dreams. It's a journey worth embarking on, as it leads to a brighter and more promising future.
