my scanner is old, like me. It gets upset if you try to have it do something without advance notice, however I wanted to show this in the absence of better things to show.
or perhaps it objects to the subject matter. Certainly, a dope vending machine should not exist. But if you SEE one, do not put money into it if you do not want a dope, even IF it has a “no dopes” button. ESPECIALLY if the no dopes button says “out of order” on it. It almost seems like these idiots secretly WANT dopes. Not me; I just deliver the news about dope-related wrongs. I presume the first and second dope-protestors are different characters, unless dopes really are so dumb that they can cause people to transform into ludicrous imps like them.
lately this website also gets upset if you try to have it do anything, but that is for no reason.
which fits in with my other content rather well, I suppose.
12-29-2022 504am all I want to do is eat and eat and eat. That isn’t what I am doing, but I think about it often.
I spent several days trying to get around having to use the bad gifs from earlier in the year to show my gzdoom monsters in the year-end video. the video has other problems that I should have been dealing with instead of that because while what I did makes a positive difference it is only about 4 seconds worth of that.

oh jolly good the image gallery “works” again. despite the latest update posted on the coppermine website’s front page saying 2018, the downloadable items are in fact from October of this year, and seemed to go in with my existing contents fairly smoothly. Despite the one error in one file I got when it broke, replacing that file just meant I got the next error in the queue. Heaps of files were now causing errors and refusing to work with each other. Only a full installation of the latest version would suffice. I worried that would be inoperable in a different way. So far it isn’t.
This seems particularly helpful as more internet art “communities” stigmatize themselves and alienate users by allowing artificial intelligence-generated imagery trained [to imitate and integrate pieces of] its own human users’ actual art to be uploaded and credit taken by smirking scumbags who just told the machine what to copy, and then twitter looked at those art sites and said “ha, amateurs! THIS is how you scare off your users.”
my gallery there is still awkward antiquated junk that was designed to show photography but it is not going to sell me out. It can’t; nobody is offering to buy from it! possibly “themes” introduced since my initial 2014 installation are more glamorous but checking on those and making them look slightly less like default settings is yet beyond my willfulness to investigate. However now seemed to be the time to set up yet one more image-displaying system for the comic-strips-that-don’t-have-nemitz-in-them that will be linked to from the “normal” comic strips so it doesn’t look like I have just been doing nothing since August. There OUGHT to be a way of controlling all four of these: talking, illustrations, regular comic strips and irregular comic strips, from the same system, but as generally occurs I am incapable of long term planning well enough to figure that out. I even tried to look it up, and it’s the same old business of click here to found out how, which has its own collection click here to find out how, each of which with their own bunch of click heres on it and it’s too much for me. 50+ megabytes of space wasted for this latest word press. Because that is what I know how to use, but only just sort of. For now it just has a copy of the other comic strip’s visual theme. Some of my custom formatting occurred outside the designated theme files, so I will need to figure out which files those WERE and copy them over also. I didn’t just copy the entire folder structure because that is just the sort of thing that won’t work when I do it, and I’ll spend hours trying to figure out why before needing to wipe the whole thing and reinstall it anyway. Weird server screwiness from my webhost today, yes of course the one day I do this, hasn’t helped my perception that stuff goes wrong for no reason but that it’s somehow my fault anyway, nor my ability to actually upload and format many of the comic strips, but that’s a much better use of my time in the next few days than buying christ-massy gifts for people, right? I usually don’t even have an excuse. I will make another mention of it if I finish uploading all of those. I am definitely too tired to do it today.
and just to clarify, as much as I hate to directly acknowledge my irrelevant title text, baby dope is NOT in my house and NOT WELCOME in my house or any location i have been in or shall be in either. baby dopes don’t even exist; dopes are generated full size. they potentially scale up as they get dumber but they do not mature or develop in any way. a new dope is just as stupid as an old dope. none-the-less even nonexistent dopes aren’t welcome, because they are too stupid to know that they do not exist. The fact that it makes no sense for a baby dope to exist, much less be in my house is precisely the reason one might try to get here.
I can’t tell if this decoration is meant to be ironic or is just ugly. I am however definitely concerned that I plausibly believe people might decorate their homes ironically.
I instinctively read “doing” here like a sound effect that rhymes with “boing”
yes, like that. Wells Fargo, the bank of almost an evil wrestling clown.
Are you having a tough time financially? HAW HAW CAPITALISM GOTCHA!
I recently determined that “Hazbin Hotel,” mentioned occasionally by a few people on twitter whom I have mild awareness of but don’t understand, is not the same thing as Habbo Hotel, a terrible casual game best known by me for at one time being repeatedly disrupted by gangs of “ironic” racists who I assume spend their their free time making christmas decorations now.
not a bean: despite this new found clarity I still don’t know what it IS, only what it isn’t.
whatever you say, wolf man
Matlock looks disgusted that I get to watch his show for free. Gunsmoke looks like he is daring me to refer to him as if “Gunsmoke” is his name, or possibly is hurt that I already did.
a yeep floats in five directions
a yeep has a problem in five directions
a yeep explodes in five directions
its tentacloids and eyeballs disappear because they launch as separate objects that are not necessarily coherent in gif form. the body dissolves since i want to have an all-directional mass of glop appear in its place, since non-moving, irregular objects can look really awkward with extra angles. Which I know because several monsters larger than this one DO have multi-directional bodies when punished and can look quite awkward. And I will likely leave them like that, but I can be cautious about creating more like them. sometimes
this latest yeep differs from past yeeps in that it lacks a darker colored midsection. I tried to sort out what that was and how it worked and could not, and so now it is not there at all. Much like several components of this website, except for once I took out something I didn’t understand on purpose.
the old exploding yeep did not need to launch the tentacloids since it only exploded from one direction and did not need its body to dissolve and be replaced. In trying to solve one problem I continue to create one or more others. And I yet do not know how i will sort out the tentacloids. The present single one in the south-east angle may not be viable since it does not take into account the possibility of the yeep exploding while off the ground. ALthough the old yeep didn’t actually finishing exploding after being beaten and launch its eyeballs until it landed, so perhaps this way IS viable. i think overall whatever result i get this time will be superior to what I had.
the old exploding yeep is actually not nearly as old as its other sprites; I drew the explosion in 2017. prior to then its body only had a single dissolve frame and i considered the pink blobs launched from it to be sufficient. I actually changed that because it looked really depressing if the sprites were browsed outside of the game, or pog forbid if somebody warped to level 30 and tried to force the original doom 2 monster roll call to appear, where none of this stuff looks right, that one would look especially not right.
NOW if somebody tries that the game will show sprites too big for the screen, or just show the regular game’s monsters, or crash completely, so REALLY I can get away with doing LESS for the yeep now instead of more. But I seem unable to do less unless it truly matters that I don’t.
