aaaand i've successfully managed to extract images from this binary, like in the post!
i'll work on the palette later, but this is really cool!

oh, i did write a thing to make hexl measure ranges, in case anyone besides me ever needs to do that:
(defun hexl-measure-region ()
"Measure how large the active region is."
(interactive)
(when (region-active-p)
(save-excursion
(let ((point (hexl-current-address)))
(exchange-point-and-mark)
(let ((diff (abs (- point (hexl-current-address)))))
(exchange-point-and-mark)
(message "Range is %d bytes (0x%08x)" diff diff))))))

not to mention i legit keep year-long goals as resolutions, but they're squishy enough that there's no pressure when the year is about to end
that lets me get excited for the things i want to do for my next resolution!
usually they're skill based, but i've at least dabbled in every practice that i wanted to get good at--so this time i'm planning something social!
if things go as well as they have for my other resolutions, maybe 2019 is really the year i get serious and break out of my shell!
december to me always has both this cold blizzardy aesthetic, mixed with the comfy and cozy feel of the things that happen during it in a juxtaposition of some seriously good vibes
holidays, my birthday, new year's, an arts and crafts festival, and finally expunging all my fatigue and burnout from the year
this time around, i'm even visiting someone in a place i've never been before!
