I had a dream of seeing famous French singer/cartoon character “Carlos” directing some sort of production with a local musician– initially I understood to be someone who resembled MC Hammer and came up to me in the street earlier but later Carlos’ possibly fictional daughter called me on the telephone and said it was actually her– in a restroom of a Paris metro station, and wondering later if i should go back to get video proof. I assumed the dream implausible since Carlos got dead in 2008, before I took video regularly or went to France,

but apparently I was misinformed. You might think it is referring to someone named Carlo but it is in fact a real band made up of real bearded people that [au] pays [de] homage to Carlos and just doesn’t understand how ownership apostrophes work because French doesn’t use those and I guess they want this title to catch the attention of non-french speakers who have heard of Carlos and are curious about developments in his life (after or otherwise), all me of them.

with my curiosity fulfilled I don’t actually need to hear any of their performances. I may even have had a performance of Jope and Some dopes at the same venue and charged as much money. Also don’t read the page at that link. It is from 2004 and I have probably not read it since posting it but it looks complicated. It it just to indicate that I was briefly involved with a local performing arts event of dubious merit and effectiveness.

The clouds are on heroin now. It certainly explains all the erratic and extreme weather. lately. I am surprised I haven’t heard anybody talking about this.
what i HAVE observed people talking about (or one person quote-tweeting a quote-tweet about):

I see why the Central Intelligence Agency cancelled this: “listen kids you THINK bin Laden is a bold patriot leading the fight for justice from his cave, but he’s actually on the front lines flying across the desert, controlling matter with his mind and fighting off multiple white infidels at once with a double laser sword”
Although the text in the apparent source, this 2014 article, indicates the toys were meant to be part of good will packages. Based on the minimal context year-old twitter post I thought the figures would have been given out separate from anything else, in order to make their intent less clear. It does not to me seem sensible for US allies, cronies or conscripts to be appearing sympathetic to bin Laden up front because that potentially undermines their message; the toy might never actually be played with or it could be lost or the larger package it was contained within could be stolen before it reveals its true nature, quite apart from if the MEANING of the transformation comes across in the intended fashion. Just giving out the toys at all risks sending the message: Osama bin-Laden is a well meaning merry fellow! Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow. Don’t believe what we told you about him up to this point!

And then assuming the toy does go to a child who does witness the paint fall off, that kid then needs to deduce “OH i get it now, the people who gave us this DON’T actually like Osama bin-Laden. Well consider me convinced! I don’t like him either now. I will be sure to pass this along when a local warlord kidnaps my mother and tapes a bomb to my father’s chest.”
I suppose this story is funnier the less context you have.

I also saw another old twittor post last week that explained how to view articles on sites like washington post’s without creating an account, which would actually be practical information to have and I didn’t bother to take note of where that was nor of the specific instructions. Listen I can’t keep up with everything. I need to focus on what’s important like one year old posts on a broken social media platform about nine year old news stories about twenty-year old weird stuff that the CIA ultimately decided against doing.

and also teaching vaguely dog-rodent people how to jump

page 3-58 of this
I changed “gitchmerd” to “gidjmerg” because it was brought to my attention that “gitch” can refer to underwear. as “merd” will, with the simple addition of an E that goes unpronounced and thus may be imagined as present even when it is not, be a french word for excrement that is considered more obscene than the ordinary french word for excrement, I considered the combination of the two undesirable to have people think I might have intended unless I did, which I did not. It is enough that the drawings are crude without the names also being so!
I will ideally have amended the previous instances of the name before you see this but unfortunately was not able to before I saw this.
imp fact I think it was only said one other time, on page 3-52 and that was simple to correct, although I thought the letters there suddenly seemed too skinny to be legible, and that I would need to later redo the other word spaces also to make them match the one I just did, but NOW they do look more read-ready than the comparatively bloated and irregular alphabits I just added. I also noticed that the telephone/meep’s column did not match between the two pages. I suppose there is no great necessity to keep those consistent, which is good because I would also need to check every other page it appears on and see which was more prevalent and likewise fix the rest. Lack of fixing is not the majorest problem with this production!

Somehow it is hilarious to me, in the video game Ogre Battle, that lacking space to spell out “red dragon,” owing to differences between Japanese and English writing systems, the localizers opted to just include “red” followed by that dopey dragon face icon. They could have written “R.DRAGON” and everyone would have known what it meant! But THIS I can’t take seriously! I am only thankful that the regular dragon at least spells the word.
curiously the game’s font has been extracted and uploaded to this page, which I know because for some/no reason I was LOOKING specifically for that specifically to see if that silly dragon head icon is included, and it is NOT, even though the actual game rom’s graphic data

puts it right after the letters, which I determined using Tile Layer Pro. YES i used rom hacking software i haven’t touched in nearly 20 years just to get a clean look at that stupid icon since I haven’t actually played this game. I don’t play video games anymore, generally; it takes too long. Now I watch other people play them –as it happens, Ogre Battle is one of the rare games where my participation is nearly as active as the actual player’s– to keep me from checking my messages every 7 minutes while i try to draw things, or to keep me from considering that my body is past its prime and I am tumbling toward death while I walk in circles in the basement here trying to burn off calories from all the garbage I eat since eating nonsense is the only thing I enjoy and I still delude myself that I can eat it at the same rate that I did back when I played video games and hacked roms and not suffer ill consequences. Then i realized other people for whatever reason have placed downloadable save data for Ogre Battle there so I can in fact take a proper game screenshot rather than blurry ones of youtube videos.


what REALLY makes me mad, is this dumb “wyrm” that has a lower level and lower just about everything else, and LITERALLY ALL it can do is exhibit its dumb tail at foes, and it DARES to try and charge MORE goth money than a REAL dragon.

just LOOK at how STUPID that is! they have sharp teeth, they have FOUR sets of claws, fairly pointy wing-ends, the chance at dignity of NOT having a dopey lizard head icon in their fighting class name, and THIS is what they choose to do! and they are QUITE proud of themselves.
that is like the kind of attack “lope” (the annoying lizard from my comic strip) would do

ARRRRYRHGHGHGHJ I am leaving before this gets ANY stupider.

I already left! This is someone else’s problem!


one of these is from 2004, the other is from a bit more recently. The usual story applies to it: I expected a certain difficulty level and it became exaggerated beyond what I could handle, foremost on the least important sections. the front view (1), the most important and most likely to be seen view, was easy. side-front (8, gets mirrored to be angle 2) was a bit harder, then side (7 (no not THAT side 7 (don’t worry if you don’t know what that is)))was horrible, and side-back (6) was a disaster. in part because I kept trying to match it to 7, even though 7 was horrible. i ought to have drawn over angle 8, but i didn’t because i was using the OLD old old 2004 version as a base, even though the old version’s angles matched even worse. i was even conscious of how poorly they matched at the time. although looking at that again did at last convince me to add stripes. Thankfully stripes have not been a disaster yet, though i have not tried to draw them on the copious amount of earlier redrawn sprites of this… thing. My best decision over the 2004 version is blocking the back muscles with that pathetic half-cape. I didn’t know how to draw back muscles then, and I STILL don’t. This new edition of the monster is old enough that I no longer recall if that was why I added a cape, but there do not appear to be other conceivable justifications.
angle 8 actually doesn’t have the far hand out far enough; trying to match angle 6 to it also held me up somewhat. Since it doesn’t look BAD on angle 8 like it does on 6 i don’t NEED to change it.
no I sure don’t.
please do not make me change it, me.
the fool (that I drew, not me) yet has no proper pain frames; in the past this motion was used both for a close-up attack and a non-violent reaction to experiencing violence. For the moment that shall continue as I am rather worn out from the length of time necessary to draw it. Going forward, assuming I am not cursed by a being beyond my comprehension to remake my own old unreleased material for the remainder of my lifespan, I want to include more expressive characters, but that will require fewer moving parts. even minimally detailed ones like this become a problem when there are so many pieces. If this gets any more frames I hope they will have the courtesy to be non-rotatable!

although mercifully and surprisingly these are still in stock so perhaps I should order one. Gosh I’ll SAVE so much MONEY!

A clear sign Big-Y is a Connecticut and Massachusetts-only supermarket; if Kroger or Food Lion had a Kids Fruit Club that would be cited as proof of child grooming and republican governors across the nation would race to issue condemnations of it and proactively try to pass laws against it
naturally just [yesterday] I saw this

which IS in Connecticut, but the ludicrous conservative backlash to the name led to a bigger back-backlash that gave the store so much business that it ran out of stuff to sell. In Florida or Texas it might have had angry protestors outside demanding that the employees release fictional juvenile hostages and then a week later everyone inside and out would have covid.

still I am concerned that Big Y is getting so comfortable with these mutants

and worse, the mutants are getting comfortable themselves.

why don’t we just throw a beach party for them!

this is beside the point but I am fascinated that this game’s title screen is a redraw of its weird box-art; generally Japanese video games with weird United States box art don’t have their title screens updated to match it, except to alter logos. Also despite the weird cropping to allow the text to appear the picture overall looks less weird. although the tree is duplicated, the texture on the sand is questionable and the banana looks amidst a prophylactic demonstration, the artist treated the sun as a light source rather than another piece of fruit, and the figures themselves look less like there is stuff wrong with them, which to me is of foremost importance.

especially THIS creep, that looks less like it is surfing than “he went that-a-way!”ing while squatting behind a stair with bacon on it. Someone even thought it was good enough to put on the side of the box as well! It was not. There (here) it appears to be concerned about trademarking but unable to leave its post plugging a dike leak.
It might help to contrast this with the original Japanese box-art that is strikingly dissimilar to both its own title screen and this, but I decline to on account of it including a depiction of the grapes-themed boss foe that I find aesthetically unpleasant for reasons that are beyond the scope of this web page. Additionally that Japan Super Famicom box-art is dissimilar to the Japan game boy version’s box art, which would need to be contrasted with the fact of US editions of both using the same box-art despite differing in-game character designs, thereby explaining why the monkey only has a conspicuous tail in one of them, and all of these factors combine to really not be much help at all. Is there any expert in the field who COULD help?

oh WHAT?! I had no idea. Years ago this appeared on the zany video game quotes website, and I never knew or asked where it came from. I ASSUMED the graphic was for something remotely archie-related; the Archie Comics company published works on a few topics that weren’t strictly archie themed, such as ninja turtles and sonic t hedgehog. I didn’t guess it was in a video game magazine advertisement for a property other than those two, certainly not the monkey vs evil fruit game. Factually the sonic comics did not appear until after this but I had to look that up. I should not have had to look that up! This should never have happened! Had Archie been pondering video game comics before Sonic or does it merely mean Archie recommends throwing basketballs at food that has limbs and faces? Do I and Archie actually have common ground? What horror! Looking up the phrase “recommended by archie” now seems to indicate this endorsement was not offered to other products. Consulting the site’s founder likewise indicated the same source and that he had even scanned it himself.

and that is what me asking about it looked like. I did not really ask at 1:51am, however. Why is the time zone incorrect? And why did I think I needed to prove that I asked about this?

all in all a very stressful day! I had other pictures of stupid limbed fruit to show but now I am just upset.
Now I am more upset!


an eccentric imp melts, in 2023 and 2004. I do like the stripes on the 2004 version of this animation, but I also repeatedly didn’t notice that I forgot stripes, which happened with the same sort of stripes on elpse back when I first started coloring in the comic strip pages. if I would have the patience to draw stripes on all the other sprites of this thing. is also uncertain.
The old version also simply has purple hands and feet rather than wearing purple gloves over them as, for now, the new one does. Surprisingly, it is easier to draw those melt since the form does not need to be consistent between frames. Since I didn’t draw this from eight angles, however, switching the gloves to hands shouldn’t be as big a deal as some previous not big a deals ended up being.
That trick I was so proud of on the linked page, to put all the angles in one image, made the game too slow, trying to load them all at the same time, so I had to re-insert them all separately anyway. I might have mentioned that before, but I immediately forget what I saw after saying them. That is part of the point of saying things, for me, to get them out so I stop thinking about them and can think about other things. But that does not prevent me from beginning to think about them again in the future! At best I can send them to the back of the queue.

page 3-57 of this
once, if ever, I sort out also what the gnomes in the apartment and kumquat outside are doing round-about this point, this may be a higher numbered page. for now i have a fairly loose mental grasp of what is going on since I jump between so many slow, uncompletable projects, so I need to follow this thread in a fairly linear manner to have any control. I know enough that it doesn’t risk tangling with the others for a while. the next two pages are likely to be mostly yelling over a telephone and elevator usage. Those were not in the plan, so I ought not try to manage several additional plans with additional unplanned nonsense simultaneously.
I also should finish uploading pages from the shoddier comic strips. I say that now because I do not expect to do that now.





I don’t know how much to attribute to the original script, the unofficial translation or the artwork, but Scenario 3 of Shining Force III is rife with incel energy
To clarify, this game and Shining the Holy Ark use the word “innovator” to refer to a person who has special powers granted by otherworldly “spirit”s, the portrait artist(s) seemed to favor half-closed eyes and the unofficial translation was done by nerds still playing a dorky old sega saturn game 20 years after it came out.
And I wish I could have been one of those nerds, to a degree, it but I just never had time to, and worried I would be overwhelmed by the apparent complexity of it relative to earlier games in the series, so I eventually gave up on the idea of me doing it any time soon and just watched videos of other people playing it (while I attempted art-work) to satisfy my curiosity about it as best I might.
But now I realize it fundamentally does not change a whole lot from its predecessors. But still by very nature of being a cd console game coming out in the wake of Final Fantasy 7 everything takes longer to load and longer to show. I regret missing out on the one time my ancient habit of leveling up EVERY hero regardless of apparent inferiority would actually matter, but really it doesn’t matter very hard; one battle in each of the first two “scenario”s requires that you send a backup group apart from your main force of 12 to a different location.
also the pictures with the pink-nosed weirdo are blurrier because the less-blurry shots are from play-throughs by people who changed the names of the primary heroes Synbios, Medion and Julian. If the pictures were from me playing the game I would also have changed the hero names but I wouldn’t change them to normal people names like internet dorks generally do. Synbios at least is a goofy enough name that it looks like something I would come up with.
And i NEEDED several different people’s videos. The game has an immense quantity of dialog, video people seem to skip most of it, but the blurry person put up videos exclusively of dialog. Another video person played it properly and efficiently but skipped a great amount of optional material and had an annoying habit of talking over the video about stuff that hadn’t happened yet, while a yet different player didn’t talk and accomplished all tasks but didn’t necessarily play fair either, so I wanted additional perspective on encounters that seemed too easy. And I still screwed that up because I didn’t want to see really important battles done easily first, but then the guy who played properly would still find some excuse to give away needless plot details. But I didn’t want to mute the audio either because sometimes he said interesting things, and I also didn’t THINK of that until late in the process. oh oh ohhhhhhh! what a cruel life.


2022 in pictures.
this really isn’t necessary since I already made a video and most pictures that would be rightly eligible for this entry tended to be bunched into a single entry in a single month. The video also was not necessary and so i am doing this anyway.

that just about dumbs it up.
a video of pictures I made last year set to some suspicious music.
I hope you hate pine cones, since three or four of these pictures don’t have one.

It took a ridiculous amount of time to make this considering that it is 95% comprised of stuff I had already made. My trashter plan to display gzdoom-engine material from within the gzdoom engine rather than as gifs of the source material did not help like I thought it would. I opposed gifs since while I design the graphics grouped, I have to separate them to put them into the game, and I refine them after separation, so I didn’t want the less-refined versions. and some pieces, like the launched yeep parts mentioned (but not yet drawn and so not shown) previously, were separate to begin with. howEVER, since I draw the stuff at ten times the 1993 game’s resolution, and my computer is less than top-of-the line, those graphics need to be reloaded each time the game is started, and then I am having it load extra graphics and generate extra objects on top of that, IN ADDITION to me running video capture software, which means loading all that tomfoolery in an extra window while simultaneously saving a copy of it all, the game can’t help but choke up for a few moments when stuff is exploding. and SO I spent an extra day, two days? trying to reduce that, just a few seconds of the dumb video. And I already spent an extra day drawing all those dumb letters and setting up the circumstances under which they appear and explode. originally they were to use the same explosion frames as the launched yeep globs, hence my using the same colors, but those explosions looked too uniform, unless those were themselves launching more globs, but more globs meant more lag. and SO i drew EXTRA explosions for the letters I and O that would prevent them from needing to launch globs.


but that still means loading extra graphics so it doesn’t reduce THAT much lag. I also had the letters L and F turn into I and G into O as they explode, and that still wasn’t enough! For the yeep section near the end, I had all the pertinent graphics pre-load before I started recording, but that wasn’t an option with the letters because they FALL FROM THE CEILING as soon as the level starts. I COULD have preloaded all the graphics if I had thought to suspend the letters on disappearing floors or had them teleport into the room, but I was too busy to be thinking! I also forgot to set the level to change the colors to something other than orange, so that the aftermush looks less like a nickelodeon logo family reunion but if I had, I would probably still today be trying to optimize or fix it in some way and I am glad to not be doing that.

I can’t even show this picture without needing to explain it. the level editor shows a 2003 dope rather than a 2018 dope because it assumes the player character uses PLAY-named sprites, but the newer dopes have DOPE-named sprites, and I simply never took out the old sprites. the weird background is irrelevant; it is the first graphic in the definition file, since for some arcane reason that graphic shows up invisible in the game, but not in the editor. I needed it invisible so that the background shows through it. there are other hacky ways to make the ground and walls invisible but everything I do is already hacky so I preferred something that worked consistently.
these are off-center relative to the player character’s viewpoint because they seemed to my own viewpoint to be showing up offcenter when I placed them IN the center. However by the time I made the video that seemed to no longer be the case but I was too tired from the endless re-records hoping for less lag and more interesting random splat locations, then inserting that into the video, cropping out the wrong takes, then moving it to the front, then dumping it all that since I wanted to go back and change something else in the setup and then need to re-record again, that I left the positions alone.

“AASCREBO” will go to the top of most lists. It is not necessary for the list to be alphabetical, but I was trying to amuse myself. Regular Doom2 calls it

which I dislike seeing in the list, and regular regular Doom calls it

which I hate even more, and not just because the base-2 display system means you aren’t actually ALLOWED to make 24-length wall textures! Even if that worked it wouldn’t work! screbo is stupid garbage that nemitz says, and I had already changed the poison logo to feature nemitz, so it fits. I placed it over the pile of skulls that is shown by default after coloring them purple. I don’t want any of the base game’s graphics in this, even edited ones, and nemitz endorsements of rubbish are anachronistic within this project’s complex chronology of being set before nemitz, but as noted previously these don’t actually show up! but even THESE are a problem since floor graphics are backwards on the ceiling. If I want to control invisible objects that it is possible to move beneath, I risk seeing not only a backwards S but a backwards nemitz inside the level editor’s 3d view mode. What could be worse than that? I probably won’t find out until I try to make next year’s video.
and after all that, I today realized: the ORDER of the primary content is terrible. It starts on a snake comic strip that nobody cared about and then ends on generic wall textures that nobody SHOULD care about. I should have started and ended on stuff with meaning. I too more concerned with irrelevant nonsense to consider the marginally more relevant nonsense. There is probably an important life lesson there but I am too concerned with complaining to process it right now.
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.
