setbacks do not mean you have lost all of your progress. it is part of the healing process to go through ups and downs. as hard as it is, it will never be straight sailing—but the wonderful thing is that’s why we have other people to walk through it all with. it is okay (preferred, even) to lean on someone you trust when you are hurting or when you feel like you’ve failed yourself.

healing does not mean you will never experience that hurt again. healing means learning to cope and strengthen yourself for the hurt you know will come. healing means finding the courage to endure it. healing means asking for help when you need it and learning to even know when you need that help. healing does not mean just surviving—it means learning to live, too.

you haven’t failed. you are growing. it is okay to start again with the knowledge that you’ve acquired in your setbacks, so that each time you do start again, you make it further and further until eventually, those setbacks are so few and far in between that they are no longer your default state.

your hurting won’t always be your default state.

The last (and only time) I made a New Year’s Resolution was back in elementary school, and that was mostly because it was for an assignment. But I think I’ll make one now.

💗 Create some handmade/traditional art again (painting/sculpting/sewing).

💗 Be more active in the Discord servers I’m in instead of only interacting when I’m pinged at.

💗 Work more on my original characters and stories, hopefully create some sort of comic about them.

💗 Save up enough money to get that desktop computer so I don’t have to just rely on my tablet for everything.

💗 Volunteer somewhere or just get out of the house more and actually interact with people in person.

💗 Overall just allow myself to enjoy what makes me happy and not stress over other’s opinions of me and not be a people pleaser.

My comms are finally open again !!

Prices are set for USD, and I can only accept Paypal for now!

I'm happy to negotiate prices, settings, etc!

Extra characters are an extra 3$—5$ each, depending on detail level!

Feel free to DM me if you're interested!! 💕💕

shout out to my university administration (specifically 2 people apart of it including our university president) for copying the mass government firings tit for tat bro. they've fired so many positions of core importance to student life or different departments because they didn't pay attention to who the fuck they were firing at all 😭😭 they fired our ONLY PHYSICAL THERAPIST who has worked here for fucking forever, effective immediately, and then everyone was like YOU FUCKED UP BIGTIME, ASSHOLES (because our campus has a HIGH NEED FOR PT) so they hired her back- wish i could say the same for other important positions like ones from literally where i work. i get that it's some sort of bullshit prep for the higher ed budget cuts we're looking at but FUCK bro. this is not the way to go about taking care of the university moving forward

Hey, everyone!

I'm currently working on a very basic implementation for short stories to be read in the actual game, but I encountered something that I wasn't aware was an issue.

For some reason, dialog popups that exceed a certain length are overflowing off the page, and this happens even when I go into the style sheet and change the dialog overflow property accordingly. (And, yes, this happens on both PC and mobile.)

Thankfully, I don't think any of the dialog boxes so far exceed the length of the box, which is doubtless why no one has ever reported this issue to me before. But it does mean that, until I can figure out why that's happening, there is a possibility that future dialog boxes will have this problem.

As for short stories, I wanted to implement them with dialog boxes because I think it looks nicer that way (on mobile specifically), but instead I'll be doing the more simple (and probably expected) implementation of making passages with the <<return>> macro.

The demo update this week is going to be pretty sparse on account of the holidays, but it will have the first four "Snowed In" snippets of the bunch. The last four will be released with the January 4th update, which will be the last day of the free month of ko-fi benefits.

can i say i feel like people saying stuff like swansea would be republican or curly or daisuke would be casual dudebro misogynists or that jimmy is just insufferable to everyone constantly AND people who say daisuke or swansea would've killed jimmy if anya told them both kind of miss part of the point of the game being about a group of normal people who you would expect far better from in a stressful situation behaving in ways ranging from heart-breakingly disappointing to downright horrific

I finally went for Ren's bad end reveal~ Also had to wipe his memory to start a Oops All Glitches playthrough. And the Kitsune Easter egg is fun. It's been a good time!

Bit of a setback today- I usually keep the vacuum in the bird room and I moved it in there today- first time I’ve seen her totally freak out, had to put the vacuum out and calm her down bc she was flying into the cage walls absolutely freaked :(((

She was really scared of me for quite a while after that and it took a long time to get her to calm enough to even approach. She’s been pretty jumpy and nervous even after leaving her alone for several hours, but she seems mostly okay with me now, I just feel really bad 😭

look if time wasn't a thing and i was responsible for directing any the witcher series, either books or the games, first of all i would do everything in my power to mostly cast polish actors or at least eastern european. idc if it's not featuring the latest hollywood pretty boy/girl, i'm aiming for quality not for tiktok reels

let's say now for example that the company is throwing a tantrum bc it must be spoken in english bc god forbid subtitles be a thing. nothing in my plan would change, i'm going for as many polish and/or eastern european actors/actresses that can speak english.

all this just to say that i would chase milla jovovich until she agreed to play ves bc i won't accept anyone else

my mom: so did u email ur teacher yesterday

me trying to explain to my mom (without making her feel sad and guilty) how i was fully hyped yesterday morning to start working on my homework, but as soon as my mom started nagging me about it i became inexplicably anxious and depressed for the entire day, and that i eventually broke down crying as i realised this was some kinda leftover ptsd response, after which this left me utterly exhausted for 3 hours (as ptsd episodes are wont to do): mom could you maybe leave me alone abt the whole thing

mom: no i will NOT stop nagging you, because it is literally impossible for me nagging you to cause you to not send your emails. so no

me: *looks at the camera as if im on the office*
