reevaluate knowledge that seems obvious to you. make sure you have a really good grasp on why you're so certain of the things you're certain of. never stop asking questions. don't be afraid to ask the same question twice if you've forgotten the answer. and for fucksake, don't state opinions as facts

dream, money, -
Financial security is really, like ... the only thing I haven't ever had in my life. My parents were fairly poor and always in debt when I was growing up, and I was thousands of dollars in debt starting when I was 17. I literally don't know what it is like being debt-free and having a surplus of money, or even just having enough money that you can do almost anything you wanted...

@karma Good luck! ^w^ 💖 I hope things go well for you!
The original code only used this centering function for displaying street names, but hopefully I can rework it so any arbitrary line of large text can be centered. We'll see... ^.^
Writing a function to center text, since the original function won't work with my new text format, or with a variable-width font...
@revenant Does VBox even support Win98? I thought it explicitly didn't support non-NT Windows for some reason...
Then again, I haven't actually used VBox for a few years, so they might have added support by now.
@karma Awesome!! ^w^ 💖
@typhlosion Goodnight cute typhgirl 💖
Okay, fixed that. (It was a string I had explicitly skipped before, because I didn't know where it was being used.)
Still lots of work to do before I can move on to something else...
@loki Goodnight~!
Awesome, rewriting everything that touched SearchDialogDefinitionForA fixed the corruption bug that was crashing games when AI characters said anything! ^w^
... aaaand I immediately found another corruption bug in a dialog window I didn't touch yet. >.<;;;
I don't even know how Konomi's face got corrupted...
@KitRedgrave@glitch.social @loki You're both adorable 💖
@Xkeeper gdi you know you don't have to post your terrible jokes twice >.>
This Sunday 1:15 EST at Queerness and Games Conference 2018 I'm going to be giving a talk! It will be called "Making a Programming Language is Surprisingly Easy and Fun" and I will demo creating a scripting language from scratch and adding it to show how easy it can be. There will be streaming but I'm not sure what the URL is yet. https://qgcon.com/qgcon-2018/talks/making-a-programming-language-is-surprisingly-easy-and-fun/
