five direction walk animations for creatures that i have not yet decided if will do other things apart from walk around providing stupid atmosphere. the second angle on the fish is probably too wide but i will wait until implementing it to assess if that actually makes a difference amidst how awkward it is apart from that.

not all details have necessarily carried across coherently but they aren’t necessarily all necessary

Here is the airplane stuff I did not post a month ago. Really not any less depressing now! even though it is mostly about the always-on electricity-wasting, fare-raising screens stuck to the seats immediately in front of passengers

first of all I refuse to Enter [My] Seatback Experience nor call it that except for the purpose of showing how stupid it looks when i type out that label myself.
Also do NOT go to europe during trump ii unless you are planning to stay there or have a month set aside for your unlawful detainment/kidnapping after you return,
ESPECIALLY if you aren’t a heteronormative white guy who never had an organic or fact-informed opinion on anything unrelated to what genitalia someone has and how to persecute them on account of that while ignoring their actual merit, even while “merit” has become a bizarre code word for “heternormative white guy.”
Apart from THAT, the statement “the world awaits” assumes that climate-change related freak weather events caused by regulation cuts instituted by the same sort of people who want you locked up without explanation or justification don’t get your destination airport shut down for a prolonged length of time because it isn’t safe to fly through them and pog forbid the weather freakoff starts while the plane is in flight since air traffic controllers are getting laid off all over the place.

this picture is a lie. i have the computer open right now* and this space does not exist. i cannot extend my arms or open the screen fully without pulling the machine closer than that. The person in the photograph has two full window lengths of space. i have about 1.1, 1.2 MAYBE.
*it was right now when i wrote it but last month by right now
there is plainly not two windows per seat. even with the tray fully extended it is not possible to use the computer non-awkwardly, and forget about having any surface to use a mouse on. Thankfully I learned to use it against my right leg years ago in other uncomfortable locations. But after so long stuck on the plane during hours of delays with no place to charge it even if my charger weren’t stuck in my carry-on bag that got tossed into the baggage compartment by the staff anyway to cut 2 minutes off of the boarding process prior to the four hours of delays there isn’t enough battery left in the thing to use anyway except for awkwardly typing out some gripey notes.

i have NEVER had this facial expression while on an airplane, if ever. This is only plausible if it accompanies an internal realization that life has no meaning, reality is imaginary and leads directly to brazen criminal acts that i assume this presentation is not intended to endorse.

This journey was the first time i had to put in barely adequate earbudpodphones just to block out top 40 radio hits being pumped into the cabin prior to take-off. i assumed delta paid extra for the “right” to make my experience worse, but then the audio feed advertised spotify so maybe spotify paid for it. Somebody else paid somebody else to diminish the bearability of this situation. Soon after i heard mouth-whistling breaking through my block-out and was glad to be missing the full context. No corporation-approved music with whistling in it has ever been not awful. During the outgoing and return flights it was necessary to take a smaller, dinkitier airplane between Tallahassee and Atlanta. Most advertised features were missing on the smaller plane but it STILL had the crummy music imposed on passengers, though with shoddier, mufflier sound quality and I was unable to determine if it being harder to hear made the experience worse or better since I would still prefer just engine noise.

If you love a brand it is only because you do not know that brand because not one of them has any of your best or even good interests in mind. If you don’t own it, it aims to own you.
And I think having this awful rubbish presented to me is supposed to be a “perk” of the “sky miles” membership program that the trip organizer belongs to. I don’t know for certain that people in the back of the plane have access to these wonderful bonus advertisements for corporate mediocrity. I can verify that the wifi DID function but again there wasn’t much i could do with it in a cramped tiny space and hardly any battery left over except type out complaints, but LIVE to my pathetic discord chat server and wow jeeplies how exciting to get whining about airplane delays in REAL TIME.

wheeeeeee

Coca cola specifically is formulated to be drank rapidly and repeatedly and NOT savored, and possibly is the first consumer product that was. I drink coke, because the brand owns that piece of me. I don’t want it to, but i can taste when a similar drink is not coke. There is worse coke to have a chemical dependency on but better than worst is worse than good.
I do drink iced tea with more regularity than coke but foremost drink water and GOSH isn’t this fascinating to read about! And that is a bimshwel.com exclusive; i have never said that in the chat server. I need to provide incentives to not look at both.

popeye is considered public domain now so legally me showing pictures from the comic strips is not participating in corporate mediocrity

i was yesterday struck with the memory that in one of falcom’s ys computer games, the hero adol can transform into a dopey yella animal, willingly even. Already foolish enough, but I tried to find proof of what it looked like and had some difficulty

yes sure say all that and show a big stack of magic wands instead
eventually i did find a picture of one and made a worrisome discovery:

why is the blue one c-c-CURSED?

it makes me angry how cursed this thing is. no wonder the prisons are full of them

i presume adol was in prison for transforming into one, or possibly just for conspiring to meet with one that he might not have realized was in jail, but he ought to have assumed the creature was a criminal.

the adols on the same sprite sheet do NOT have a cursed variant; only the dumb animal gets cursed, as if just looking that way to begin with ISN’T the curse. And in such a case, why does it walk around normally like it ISN’T cursed? Does it think i don’t know? i am NOT fooled! That thing is NOT normal!

I am NOT putting up with cursed roos today, and neither is the king.

I tried to warn people about this problem on the bluesky website but unfortunately, perhaps on account of its sky being of such a hue as to indicate it may also be cursed, my message had difficulty getting through to those who may need it most. possibly part of the curse is not being able to notice the curse. It is a stupid curse.
and that is another issue; roo is an incredibly stupid name for a dopey animal, cursed or otherwise.

oh gree golly beets THANK YOU for explaining!

i have been wondering about this ever since i played final fantasy 9. which came out years after ys2 but ys2 generally came out on stupid game systems, as befits its curse.
stupidest of all, the folder i have been uploading pictures to since january is

rew

what how DARE you forbid me to browse a folder on my own website? Is that a crime? It isn’t like I transformed into a yellow dork and got cursed. I do NOT turn blue under stupid circumstances nor do i associate with any other blue, stupid individuals

just because they get in my business and smile at me does not mean i invited them

i drew this thing years ago but never gave it a way to explode. Now I have. However it appears that it was only immediately after drawing the original sprites for this creature that i standardized the [minimum] scale that i was drawing these at so i spent a needless fraction of the past week slowly awkwardly upscaling many of its frustratingly intricate sprites in an effort that approximately nobody will notice except in the form of extra seconds spent loading yet more oversized sprites in-game if it ever actually reaches a releasable stage of development which seems as likely as ever, which is not very.

a lot of its glop goes missing, something that used to bother me about similar animations in heretic and hexen, but i plan to have this also shoot out a number of glop objects separate from itself (including the eye balls, probably, although i like how the pink glop covers them) that will successfully land and remain on the ground. See there IS some good news this week.

An animated commission drawing for an unknown entity about a vaguely defined creature who enjoys video games and is not bothered by lacking arms
This was actually based on an existing four-frame drawing of a different person’s character doing each of these things:
picking out a nes game
blowing in the cartridge
putting it in the system
flopped on a cushion with the tail holding a drink
but from whom permission had not been acquired (nor i think sought) to use which is why its design has pretty much nothing going on apart from lacking arms and having fur; it was difficult enough to figure out how to link all these actions together without diddling about trying to “create” a new character at no extra cost. I don’t consider this a ripoff since those actions are so mundane and corporate-homagey though i still didn’t copy them outright.
hey speaking of going to great lengths to exhibit a preference for overexposed nonsense

it took hours to sort out as the dumb xbox hasn’t turned on for years, even after i bought a replacement power cable, and the box-to-personal computer data transfer tools are sketchy but i now can put my 2010s era skyrim character “Germuduwuru” into a proper windows (7) version of the game. I don’t have TIME to play this rubbish again but it is nice to know that i could.

contrary to a 2013 report, the creature is NOT named “germerduwugu,” although i got my own name changed between then and now so perhaps this corny lizardoid could also. theoretically I could use “console commands” now even to facilitate that. newer versions of the game also have a lot more colorful nonsense to decorate hero characters with but generally you don’t see any of that unless you are deliberately eschewing helmets as it appears i was doing during the second screenshot from a much older save file off of the xbox flash drive, which was substantially easier to access than the main drive, hence why the more desirable data wasn’t on it.

one assumes i could add extra colors also with console commands anyway but in practice it still just looks brown under standard game lighting. This is a “new” hero made since I needed the game to generate an auto-save just to find out what folder to place the old save data into and i couldn’t resist playing with the new lizard features. Plainly i am easily enough entertained that I don’t need games at all.

This latest development also means at last that I can install the “nude argonian patch” and therefore can more thoroughly exhibit my unwillingness to do so.

and this post wasn’t from me
