heads up if you ever use gimp for redacting screenshots and the like 

with the default settings, "clear", or the delete key, only makes a region transparent but doesn't delete the colour info. it can easily be retrieved

ways to fix this are:
1. uncheck "save colour values from transparent pixels" when exporting
2. put a fresh transparent layer underneath everything, its colour info (pure black) will be saved instead
3. just fill the area with a solid colour instead
3.1. or save as jpeg

i have never, and i say this without hyperbole, wanted something SO BADLY in my ENTIRE LIFE

It's finally "cold enough that I have to wear my blanket at my computer desk" weather...

I'm glad I've gotten this far, but ... things won't be better for me until I can get out of debt and support myself somehow.

And I don't think I'll be actually happy until I can do what I enjoy and support myself doing it, which ... almost certainly will never happen.

But I like keeping in mind where my ultimate goal is, even if it's unattainable.

@AzureHusky "You don't have to be a ghost" might be my new favorite phrase 💖

Thank you so much for writing this 💖

I just want to lay down in fluffy tails and relax tonight.

@KitRedgrave@cybre.space I would be too if I was Sonic 1 and I was told "actually, you're Sonic 2 now" :P~

re: random glitch graphics, translation mishaps 

This is what happens when you load up an invalid character ID, and the game tries decompressing random data for their character sprite.

Boom goes the tilemap. And most of WRAM.

@revenant Nice idea for a cyberpunk horror story/game of some kind

I love the idea of a witch using mathematical optimization techniques to find the best placement of runes and glyphs in her spell circle, like how computer simulations of plasma flow gave rise to the 5-fold symmetry of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator

I feel useless and forgotten...

and despite everything I'll probably turn 30 jobless, without any money, and without having made anything or done anything useful or interesting...

...

I just ... wish... I was better... I wish I mattered, had some means of taking care of myself, was confident and talented enough that I could do something I was proud of...
