a picture that truthfully I cannot work on for the moment since my regular computer has taken ill and my regular image editing software objects to me trying to use it on a backup computer
but you probably won’t notice a big difference between this and what I hope to make it into once I can open it for alterations again. And indeed the website has also suffered a bizarre injury I yet do not understand. I was thinking about replacing the creature getting punched in the face with a nemitz suspiciously soon before this all broke down, however.
936pm EVIDENTLY the mere presence of an irrelevant index.html in the publichtml folder was screwing it up. It had been there since 2007 and not been an issue until the wordpress update, and I only updated wordpress since something totally unrelated was broken, since I couldn’t tell WHAT was broken.
I had to ask someone at my web-host to get this sorted out.
Their site also doesn’t work. on their TWITTER page they have a different, newer chat link than is on their actual website that I erroneously assumed would get priority.
which also doesn’t work.
I had to ask directly, at which point I was suggested to do some silly things that didn’t work, and then took it upon myself to try in another browser.
A very stupid day!
Once that indork was gone the thing read index.php properly and loaded the site once I removed the word “beans” from it. I only added “beans” earlier in the day to see if that would do anything, which it didn’t, until the index.html was gone, at which point the beans generated an error, but a proper responsible error that identified itself instead of unplugging everything and going to hide. WHICH is probably just what nemitz would do. Or more likely nemitz would stand there being proud of mitself. Even if rygar never gets around to punching mit I stongly advise anybody else to.
844pm jeepers big animated gifs sure are rough on my slightly older computer. I forgot about how insufferable this used to be!

8-25-2021 353pm and TODAY my proper computer’s battery is dead and it won’t start even on direct electricity so now I need to deal with all that involves. My hard drives are fine, just impatient.

8-24-2021 1149pm hello this site wasn’t working at all, giving the “apparently that’s not allowed” error when i tried to access it or any other page around 11:27. for a few minutes? a few hours? days? I have an important rygar update but it won’t be feasible to present effectively in eleven more minutes. that is just how things are these days!
snikpel the snokpeal runs in five directions, gets hurt from 8 and then flops over in a needlessly difficult to draw fashion from 8, because that is what I drew happening the past week. The angles aren’t evenly spaced but they follow from the standing pose well enough and ideally nobody will spend much time walking around staring at the “corpse” to check on how consistent the angles are. I made the little orange bits that splash off dissolve instead of stay on the ground anyway, as much as I hate to remove any detail, since those would definitely mess with a coherent rotation.
I also expect to draw it flopping over in a less complicated manner because I already drew the legs for that in an earlier botched version of this flop. Like seems to be usual, I make something more difficult for no real reason on a whim and commit to finishing it rather than cutting my losses once I realize I have made it harder. there may be yet more defeat types related to the more upright agony poses, because my life has no meaning.
actually getting these sprites all into the game and programmed to appear properly will probably also take more days, and I still haven’t given it attacking frames! in fact the original low resolution snikpel from 2003 simply played its running frames out of order for attacking and “dying,” with a single flat on the ground pose.
some of the fun of a game like this is beating up dumb little beasts and having goop fly out of them so I ought to have at least one melting animation also. I would like to have little marshmallows fly out of it when it takes a regular hit, but that stuff is even harder to control than my ability to not do needless things. I am fortunate I still haven’t made myself give toes to these things.
I had terrible tools then and was much more easily pleased. I have not yet become displeasable enough that I force myself to properly animate the “pain” sequences; i can make them jump in the air when hurt as I did with dopes and wah beasts previously, but after excusing this awkward full rotation flop it may be more difficult than previously to not excuse any additional tediosity. So many of my endeavors end in flops that maybe it was inevitable that I would make flopping a full time endeavor for my-self.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I am TIRED of DUMB LIZARDS stOMPING all over the place doing TERRIBLE DANCES and shoving their STUPID FEET into my business thinking that they are talented and welcome.
They aren’t!
AND that stupid box highlighting where the feet are is quite stupid enough without the zoomed in shot of it. Who do these reprobatiles think they are? I am fortunate I haven’t ever had to deal with-
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGHGKGKGKGJGFheap
Like whatever you want buddy but I don’t need to know about it.
Also this is apparently the greatest statement I ever made. Which is still not enough to matter because I don’t actually have much in common with most people who even understand what the “joke” is there, and perhaps more than i would like identify with finding wolves sexually attractive rather than think a sign warning about you possibly doing that is funny, thus it won’t reach anyone who wants to see anything else I have done because this system of “engagement” is garbage even when I inadvertently trick it into working. but I will take what i can get when it doesn’t involve accepting money to draw something that will prompt the general sort of person who retweeted this to giddily hope I am exceedingly into the subject matter despite never drawing it UNLESS someone gives me money.
if you are seeing this now I am not complaining about you! And if indighost is stiil out there he only read the first and last sentences anyway.
apart from that i personally think this maneuver was superior
after pondering it all, this “sherlock bones” display from the same Denver Colorado museum is now funnier to me, considering that it wastes serious truth museum space with that ridiculous hat which has nothing to do with bones and that Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes never actually wore. But it isn’t retweet material except possibly among people who find hats erotic or have had bizarre exchanges with people who do but none of them know me. and as before, if you do, it isn’t necessary to clue me in to that!
the initial concept, it reminded me of those “warnings” people use as jokes or potentially seriously without realizing it makes them look like the bigger joke either way
How about “warning: my occupation is hauling clowns” ?
this creature seems unsettlingly content about all this despite the warning
WARNING: inexplicable military stencil font in needlessly edgy red on black and also not bothering to identify self in paid promotion.
actually this warning might be appropriate, for what that is worth. These do seem to mostly be furries, I suppose.
they aren’t, entirely, but this was on the website deviantart which was furry-zone #1 for years and at times came across like it would gleefully burn itself down to be known for anything else.
likewise was this from deviantarrrrrrrrgh. i saved it in 2014 as “WARNING don’t criticize me for being an empty, semi-human being.png” but I think now that it speaks well enough for itself
this warning is to the home owner
meanwhile this had NO warning and consequently I vomited all over my screen and thus can no longer see what I am typing. Goop day.
