because i'm practicing a lot, sometimes i pronounce random things as if they were japanese

anyway, i accidentally just said "super smash brazzers"

it certainly helps that most of the others i've seen on there seem to be some mix tech, and soft

and a lot of the things on there are cute!

there's a botany program that lets you take care of an ascii plant and watch it grow. there's also a mud where you create rooms that don't exist yet, and explore the ones that do. there's even a big ol text canvas that anyone can write/ascii draw on!

i always knew i liked the idea of shared computers, but like, it really is something else to actually be on one!

it's basically linux, except as a social network!

local irc, a text based bulletin board, a link aggregator, and a whole bunch of other neat little things where you can see the effects others had on the world

sometimes having things in a text interface is cute enough that the novelty makes me actually even like things like localhost-constrained mail

tilde.town is pretty comfy, huh?

@tom ahahah oof

@tom ooh! nice

i guess from there, is there a blank track? that can give some big hints about where the data you are looking for is located

maybe even try running pieces of it through ffplay or something else that can recognize audio formats in case you think you have one of your waveforms, since it could be just be a raw waveform instead of any particular custom format--in which case it will actually sound like something

it's also worth keeping notes about addresses and the sizes of data

@tom if binwalk can't pick out the type of data you're looking at, but you find out how to skip each section, you can possibly cut those parts of the file out of the original binary and run file on them, since it can recognize significantly more types of formats--though you might need to see if you can find out how much data before the actual stuff you're interested in is padded

if you do this, you can even detect compressed data, and have a chance of extracting it

@tom if you're lucky, you can binwalk the file and it will tell you its contents

if it's custom though? you're gonna need to look for the way each part of the file can be "skipped"

basically, most formats don't like scanning the whole file for the parts they are interested in, and usually either have an index, or have headers, followed by numbers, and lots of data--each number being the size of the section

if you can split the sections, you can try to dissect these smaller pieces easier

@noiob i mean, you're not wrong

@noiob @typhlosion ah yes U+2026 CHARACTER LIMIT FIGHTER

@monorail gosh, this looks wild on a semi-transparent masto-client

LB: A 35-MINUTE ANIME EPISODE MADE IN FLIPNOTE?!?

HOW THE HECK

i can't...even begin to imagine how much work that would have been
