Something that I'm forever going to find funny about Turbo is the fact that he is (or at least was at the time of taking over Sugar Rush) very clearly an amateur programmer. The code box he made is just filled with disorganized spaghetti and I would be absolutely shocked if he documented anything lmao, so I keep imagining the utter hell of a time he'd had with it whenever he had to make a bug fix or something, because there's no way in hell that code didn't come with an entire dump truck worth of problems. Like, something in it breaks so he has to go back in and do the debugging to find out what went wrong and he's just combing through it going:

"wait what does that function do?"

"I should have picked better variable names, this thing is damn near unreadable."

"what kind of idiot wrote this- wait it's me… I'm the idiot…"

"okay I think I fixed the problem, let's see- I have created five new and interesting problems…"

I’m not saying anything. Just admiring those two beautiful jackets: 28 Embroidered Denim Jacket and 28 Rib Bomber.

FULL COLLECTION HERE.

(Really, I’m not saying anything. Those are the only two ones hung right in front of the 28C logo cutouts btw.)

oh boy !! ! ! ! !!! ! thANK y0u all for the kind words on my last art posts. you all get it and i was/still am so happy about it

as promised, here's some close-ups of the comic for image quality's sake, and other screenshots i rescued from the community whiteboard (and something else)

first up another sketch of mystery gender-ambiguous being. (please send me more name ideas for them if you got one- i like to hear em! (reminder it's the side character that appeared for <10 seconds in AvM Ep. 30))

a few fav scenes

emotional support cwab

they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.

papery critter.

even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses. (im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)

and finally, little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3

i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.

so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and

Smile at the blue screen

Theme is like programmer`s error or make a smile and do programming. Positive theme. It is with blue screen. And, it is running little numbers 0 and 1. In a random way at the full screen. Just like, it is something like binary code.

Random numbers. And, around them, yellow circle is running. With a smile and with eyes, little eyes. A funny face. With a funny little music. Like 8 bit. Or 16 bit or Ms Dos little music from funny arcade game. As, something like, maybe, it was in Commandeer Keen or Cosmo Cosmic. Blue screen with 0 and 1. And, also, it is little like Norton Commander or Volkov Commander. Do programming - it is fun!

Blue screen. And, some error in code. And, such a little smile. I remember, it was April 2023. And, it was, already, a spring. Sky is becoming bright and light. It is starts to be, again, so blue and joyful. And, after programming, I find out myself at the streets, one a moment it was. And, I look at the sky. And, I was surprised. And, I, almost, to see these - 0 and 1 – and a little smile at the sky!

So, this is a theme, for positive. Visual theme. just a little program. And, it goes with a retro funny little music. And smile. And, with a random way, it shows a numbers pack made out with 0 and 1. At the blue screen. A little program. As short clip. For a fun and joy. And, for a positive. Practice with programming with programming language Qb64. For a good mood. For a free time! Spring theme, early spring theme. Maybe, even like a first of April. A day of a fool. Funny celebration event!

So, except videogames, it is new idea to do programming of these visual themes. Intros. Something like, programmable intros. Intros. So, new theme opens in terms of practice programming with Qb64. And, to find something new. Videogames – for some moment - it was understanding – that programming videogames, it is very long time duration process. And, maybe, hard. And to try something new. To expand theme. And to try something funny.

And, still in theme of programming. And with a funny way too. By the interest. And, fast way. And, to try what else it can be. Visual theme. Backgrounds. Music. How to change a background. How to play music. Or to try something else. To do intros – it is so funny. And, with a simple form. It is faster, than a videogame. As, it seems, for me. And, it is, also, interesting!

Simple visual theme. With a form of a program. And, also, it is about a theme - relaxing from programming. And with programming. Not a matrix, that was a movie. And, another way. Blue screen as a sky. And, there, it is flying a smile. Little smile! Make little smile! Make a little smile! And, you need to smile too! And, also, it is some code there. Unexplained, of course. Some stream with 0 and 1.

And, retro! Retro type blue screens as with computers from 90s. So, it is a show of a file in a blue screen. And, it is, even, possible to write a text. So, it was lots of things to do with that blue screen.

And, also, it is one thing, I do not say - it is, also, a positive. And, positive, positive moving forward! Smile! Yellow circle! Which is smiling to you! Not a Pacman, of course. But, a yellow circle, which makes a smile to you. And moves. A little.

Make a little smile! Little smile! Make a smile!

Aequillibria as what seems to be a debugging algorithm or antivirus is honestly really fascinating to me ngl. especially given that it's seemingly the source, or at least distributor, of all mana and thus all life on lore.

When it said "assessing the state of the shell" it obviously meant Lore, or perhaps the universe/reality at large. but a shell in the context of computers is the part of the system that allows other things (programs and users) to access the operating system.

So how I understand it, mana is the operating system. the universe is the shell. Every individual on Lore is a program (or user) that is accessing and modifying the system via that shell.

In a bunch of quests during the Maleurous questline, we ended up doing text-based adventures where the entire game briefly became a command line interface, which is one of the ways a shell can be presented, the other being a graphical user interface. If we think about the idea of the universe being a shell, reality as we typically know it would be a GUI. That we briefly entered a CLI at multiple points makes me think there was some next-level reality-bending taking place that will probably have even more relevance than it already seems.

I'm mainly just thinking some rather sad thoughts about the ways that this could wind up being a "it was all a dream"-level bit where the events of dragonfable, the entire Reset, only really happen as a simulation on the computers of The Mage. After all, how is a computer actually supposed to reboot the entire universe? The closest it can get is creating a bunch of programs so sophisticated that they simulate the people they were meant to be all the way down to believing they're alive.

Then again, it could also all just be one big fourth wall reference- acknowledging that this universe takes place in- is- a computer game. That seems pretty in-line with the AE style of things.

scene of programmer021 throwing together the code for the first TCOs: "what if i just give them 100% in all stats lmao."

releases one into a sandbox*

sandbox bricked irretrievably within 3 minutes

ho-ly shit.

..... that's hilarious.

they try like ten more times, each with the same outcome. the little worm is good at what it does, scary good, and programmer is grateful that they went the extra mile with the sandbox layer of protection from it.

at a safe distance, the TCOs are brilliant sparring partners.

*(basically a mini computer running inside of (but held separately from) another computer) (used to test new features without risking a whole system)

on the twelfth go, they've learned enough of its tricks to have more of a chance. both of them take a moment after a long scuffle to catch their breaths. the stick figure gasps on the floor - it's amazing! so lifelike! and programmer is celebrating this little victory for the field of recreational AI right up until

it looks at them.

TCO #12 turns its hollow face out through the screen, looking at them.

programmer is unsettled.

can it see them?

their webcam is off.

surely it's impossible?

right?

and yet, it seems to see them regardless, because not only does it react to their reaction (little twitches eerily realistic, how did their program know to do those things), it capitalizes on their shock. it springs to its feet while they're still open-mouthed and reaches the walls of the sandbox window (which programmer had been herding them away from at all costs), crashing against the side, rebounding, and hitting them again and again.

programmer flails to reconnect to their Cursor (you know when you forget where it is and have to wave it around before you can use it again? like that, but with even more panic, confusion, and imminent peril).

there are cracks in a multitude of funny colors forming at the edge of the sandbox instance. pieces of the window dent out of its normal bounding box. The Chosen One adapts instantly, focusing its hits toward the weak points.

WTF! this has gone way too far.

programmer's Cursor swoops around from out of nowhere and catches the TCO by the base of its head. it tries to breathe fire and only manages strangled puffs of smoke. its legs kick the air. where once it was so elegant and poised it twists and writhes-

programmer drops it.

they feel cold.

their Cursor retreats outside the walls of the sandbox PC, clicking into the main system's File Explorer. already open is the folder with this sandbox, its partition of storage, and setup files inside.

they click it. press Delete on their keyboard.

the TCO tries to stand. it pushes through a dizzy spell, one hand holding the spot under its head that must be its neck, and sprints toward the breach it was working on.

a confirmation pane appears, from the process responsible for running the sandbox.

its arms are strong, but the more TCO_12 struggles the more it's clear that this wall would need way more firepower and concerted effort... and time... to break. it's out of time. it realizes this.

are you sure you want to end this process? ALL data will be lost.

programmer sees when it loses hope, because it abandons the wall. it abandons the whole game: the pride and dignity it fought with, the play-pretend that it held any real power here. it turns outward again, toward the screen. small hands slam against the barrier between them, knock-knocking faster, faster, please please please, its legs shake and give out but it keeps knocking, on its knees, please please please please PLEASE

the sandbox is deleted.

the window that displayed it freezes, lighting up too-bright and desaturated.

a snapshot of the TCO is frozen in place, begging for...

begging for what? it was never meant to know anything. to want anything. how did it know there was anything outside its reality to want?

or was it simply afraid to die?

Windows catches up, and sweeps the frozen program away.

programmer021 is left alone with the spot where TCO_12 used to be.

their friends want to play with their latest stick figures. they were supposed to update today.

programmer numbly uploads the most recent release build they have. killer and BEAST were fun to work on. they'll warn everyone not to touch TCO until.... until programmer works out how to... until ever, and if one of them does, it'll be their own fault.

thoughts on dolores/regulus crackship? it’s in the same weird ass vein as gilderat and i find myself fucking with it….

i have never ever heard of or considered this before but honestly they could be such prissy little buzzkill rule-following cunts together…
