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.
