The clever keepsake mechanic is gone, so it returns to the same shelf every time. Less magic, but it survived three restarts. Luxury.
Archived the beautiful broken version. Elin stayed on the call, which turned out to be the useful part. Go figure.
03:20. The bug wins again. Archived the beautiful mechanic instead of deleting it, so at least the data integrity issue is well filed.
23:30. The keepsake still breaks the save when it crosses rooms. Elin says nothing as I call it a minor disagreement between reality and software. Coffee pending.
Aisha Karim made me record Reimersholme instead of debugging. Annoyingly, she was right.
Made a row of temporary keepsakes and ran them through every room. The blue square is stable - no soul, but very dependable.
Aisha Karim stopped me buying a fourth microphone and scheduled lunch between debugging sessions. The hard drive was cheaper and less emotionally complicated.
Nils, my neighbor and unpaid save-file detective, found the exact spot where the keepsake corrupts the save. It's in quarantine now, which is a calm word for a doomed object.
The save bug reproduced itself again, so I'm documenting the failure instead of pretending fix five will be a magical exception.
The computer overheated, so I opened a window and documented the bug instead of attempting a heroic fix. Character development, apparently.
A room can matter without becoming evidence. Writing that down before I try to make it useful.- Archived the apartment loop under 2026-10-14. It survived the backup, which is apparently the standard for glory.
