@EeveeEuphoria all chus are important~

but pichu are legit the pokemon that originally got me over my awkward tween-self to finally admit that i might actually like cute things

gosh, that was a turning point

i think it would be really cool to finally be able to articulate myself outside of small chats

hee, it's such a tease. i'll get there though..!

i honestly think i need to start keeping point form notes for myself, *of* myself

is it weird to have a trillion writing ideas swimming around your head, but also having them all evaporate the second you actually sit down in front of a screen?

it's weird how i almost never get frustrated with things i'm trying

when faced with something that seems basically impossible initially, i just get progressively more and more excited the closer i get to doing it

oh yeah! i guess i should mention this is for wsl_proxy!

it's a thing i'm making that lets you use wsl command line tools as if they were windows programs

always happy to come across another situation that's "not such a big deal because it's simply a contrived problem which you'll likely never encounter."

(from https://superuser.com/a/962805/149426)

it's unfortunate that i'm relying on base64 existing in any wsl that this is used in, but i guess i'm already relying on bash as it is anyway, soooo....

i did figure out a way to do it though! and that way is very bad, hee

i base64 the whole command line, and run it in a subshell, because that doesn't require any double-quotes or escaping magic cmd-side

i even wrote a C# program to use its built-in argument parsing, so *it* could figure out passing that as a single argument to wsl bash

it couldn't do it either

TIL escaping things for cmd.exe is sometimes impossible

like, if you have a file:

C:\folder with spaces (And parens)\fancy!!! chars'`@;,[]{}().txt

the only way to get that escaped as a subshell in bash is like:

cat "$(wslpath $'C:\\folder with spaces (And parens)\\fancy!!! chars\'`@;,[]{}().txt')"

and i'm trying to write something that will throw this into bash.exe -ic, but how the heck do you escape it?

backslashes won't do it, carets don't do it

looking it up, turns out you can't??

@noiob it's true that a lot of characters with the same art style will feel kinda samey aesthetically. corrin probably managed to dodge this effect the most, but still can seem like that

then again, i also like how much effort has gone in to make new characters play differently! especially with the new fighters in ultimate, i notice everyone new seems to be varied enough to make fights fun when everyone tries to do things with the new style

(though some fighters have some pretty gnarly cheese)

@noiob hee, beautiful picrosswott!

the other use; the times we use it on ourselves, is mostly being apologetic about the things we've already determined are more important to us in the immediate term

and that's just us feeling bad that our priorities don't line up with someone else's too, isn't it?
