"how To Be Spiderman"

came home in only 40! and took about ⅔ of my Mora but it's worth it~

my (week late) birthday gift to Ogerpon is that i actually found the motivation to draw for the first time in months and decided to do this (sorry for sideways image)

the left was done from memory while the right was with the official ref art

thank god i've never had an original idea in my life because some of the r/rwby crossover art was cute as hell

just had an idea that's either absolutely amazing or the worst thing ever: ddlc x rwby crossover

yeah it sounds really bad but like c'mon man potential is nearly limitless

queer people of all kinds. i am looking you in the eyes. do not fucking kill yourself. are you listening to me it will be okay. it will get better. i am shaking you by the shoulders do. not. fucking. do. it. you have so much to keep going for and so many people who love you. the cost of the present will not outweigh the life ahead of you. i love you. chin up or down keep walking you'll get there. we will pull you back up onto your feet should you fall. i love you

Well. I wouldn't say I'm normally the type to doompost, but...what's the fucking point?

Of course, I'm talking about the one thing on everyone's keyboards this past, like, month. The thing that's had America - plus millions of others - holding bated breaths, shuddering in anticipation.

And it's fucking over. The sentient splotch of Sunny-D won:

- The presidency, 224/277

- The Senate, 42/52

- The House, 180/198

That wrinkled orange fuck apparently wasn't reviled enough to not see a second (and probably longer) term, but he's not even my big concern.

He got ALL 3 of the House, Senate and Presidency.

You know that little Project we've been trying to warn about, spread awareness of? That one about next year? Yeah, with leads on all 3 there's functionally nothing stopping The Heritage Foundation from pushing all of that through. And you know what is perhaps the most tantamount part of it? The effective LGBTQ+ bans; by labeling us as 'pornographic' which they seek a ban on

And, though I don't believe any are mentioned in the Project itself, that will likely include website and social media bans.

I guess this whole long-winded, "We're so fucked I'm typing in proper case" diatribe is just to say that...I'll miss this place. The gay autism website is no doubt going to be among the first removed.

Of course, I'd love to be proven wrong. I'd love to look back, 2 years from now, and laugh at the thought of fascism truly holding that kind of power. But the person I am now, I couldn't possibly.

And I'll no doubt keep fighting. If this is what takes me, I'll go down fighting, defiant to the end.

Thank you all, for everything. Truly. :)

new pinned, might as well try and warn y'all what you're in for here

^ bisexual self-shipper (non-comprehensive list maybe available on request, on a good day)

^ meme lover

^ one of the biggest Ogerpon fans on the planet, honorable mention to Deoxys

^ finally, aspirational game dev; eventually i'll move on to engines that aren't Turbowarp

would anyone really mind if he did tho

if you've gotten every other starter you can just walk up to it on Classic W200 and pester it with balls. not entirely sure but iirc it even retains its SwSh catch rate

so close to finishing off my dex in pokerogue

his ass is not surviving a +2 350bp Rage Fist

was rewatching into the spiderverse and god the fucking double take i just did coming back to this spiderham short scene post-2022

real. making a creature collector -- one that is actually quite similar to Pokémon -- in Turbowarp of all engines, and while the merits of an innate understanding of what i'm working with is nice, i have no idea how i'm going to make the collection aspect work with that local storage extensions; at bare minimum one creature has six individual parameters to decode and pack into the boxes on boot. rinse and repeat 30 times, and repeat that for however many storage boxes end up allowed and just... ough

a lot of what stifles me with web game dev is the urge to keep the save files small. i keep it very conservative to make sure the player doesn't bump into browser storage issues and i also like that you can just copypaste your save anywhere as a plain text string! however if i want to do anything complex then that becomes the bottleneck. at some point i'll get back into Godot and make the most gratuitously intricate simulation game i can come up with. parasitizing people's hard drives to incubate enormous procedural map files
