being in the wrong game entirely is a form of playing the wrong moves btw

when you feel bad about yourself, the question to ask is "do the cards suck or am I playing the wrong moves?" if you're playing the wrong moves, learn the right ones; if the hand sucks, bide your time until you get better cards

I'm glad GDC was good in the one year I 100% decided on not coming because I'm in Brooklyn for 2 more months. like every complaint I had last year got addressed and I can't go 😭

most ridiculous Twitter vs. Bluesky difference yet

A screenshot of a Discord conversation with a user asking the viewer if their account was hacked, showing a screenshot of a stolen account warning which is also present on their account.

discord account stealers are trying to psych you the fuck out, be careful everyone

I think Bluesky is gonna stay weird almost-Twitter for a very long time. and that's fine because I like it. It's slightly more tolerable with the For You feed than the one on Twitter. I do less learning but that's fine

Comic Studio notfiications on Linux

The notifications page on Comic Studio, with an option at the top to enable push notifications

You can now enable browser push notifications to get updates on site content even while you're away!
There are some caveats (iOS and Firefox especially), so check this post for up-to-date information: comic.studio/c/fomidfisuh

I think all the channels under 100 views still making let's play videos of games like it's 2015 is a solid indicator that no matter how powerful AI gets, there's still going to be a lot of people who only know how to do things the old way and are fine with that

News story: "President Obama holds a press conference on the recent discovery of Pokémon in Florida, announces names of first 3 recipients" with the caption "President Barack Obama reveals Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, just 3 of the Pokémon discovered near Cape Canaveral on Wednesday, as well as the names of their trainers selected via nationwide raffle | AP Photo"

when I was a kid, I had a dream that Obama announced the US discovered Pokémon were real and they would be giving out starters to 3 random 10 year olds, and my name got called out on live television as one of the trainers

Genius really needs to add a "album this song is actually from" feature. like Michael Jackson's whole post-Motown discography shows up wrong on there because they rereleased all of his albums on one obscure iTunes compilation from 2013

guys I really hope RPG Maker DS comes out in the US soon

he's the cookie equivalent of white, yes. they make lighter skinned cookies but they're not the Default

being white is having two friend groups: one that says racial slurs despite being told to stop many times, and another that mentions how they're better than the first friend group before going on about how all homeless people are rapists and murderers. Neither one includes a single person of color

my priorities for this year:
- Learn to read my email
- release as much slop as possible (focus on making and posting things rather than spending ages polishing them)
- start full-time work on Dreamnet Online (April!!!!!)
- Update CS finally
- finish PaintRush or open source & kill it if it sucks

2026 // now begins syrupyy's year of slop...

25!

when does it get to be the 90's again? I missed it by a year. I wanna go back and redesign the web

creepypasta: Please don't look at the Wii U GamePad. and it's a picture of a scary monster or other evil thing

yaaaaay hi. you too

YOURE WELCOMEEEEEEEE!!! omg if you ever give them lore you gotta yap to me abt it sometime <3

the codebase lives on in my vault of unfinished projects that I will maybe come back to someday. although my schedule is even more packed now than it was in January

btw the reason I gave up on it was not the obvious copyright issues (I don't care about my Roblox account), or even getting the social features working (80% of it was implemented)

it was that I, an adult, don't have time to sit down and build elaborate worlds to collect games in

in January, I was working on a Roblox idle game in which you'd run around and collect retro games, then trade with other people to get the ones you want

was this peak or should I quit game dev forever????

why2k why2k why2k...
I'm thinking about them

Scene Studio isn't happening this year. sorry to anyone still thinking about it.
it's not cancelled yet, but my current priorities are
1. getting PaintRush to a good state
2. fixing all the bugs on Comic Studio, adding new features
3. THEN, working on Scene Studio if I have time before April or so
