#only problem i'm having is with audio tbh but i'll get there

[vim]

trying out linux as a daily driver. i really needed a fresh start after being on the same windows install for 4+ years so it's as good time as any to make the switch

[inqroot]

What if I took dkos and made him a shimeji lol

Let me start with, I think this can be interpreted as either post-epilogue or as part of an au. Salvation could be created from digital fragments of Dokja (like an avatar) or just born entirely from coding, for the sake of this lore/info dump I'm going with the "no-scenarios AU and Salvation is a smart AI somewhere between JARVIS from Iron Man and the Rotom phone/dex from Pokemon"

His "core" entity lives with Dokja and Joonghyuk, but kimcom, Uriel, and Persephone/Hades have copies of him as well (Dokja did offer to send Salvation to Lee Sookyung but she declined saying she doesn't like bothering with any more technology than needed) Demon King Of Salvation is his legal name, but default nicknames are Salvation, Guwon/91 (in english), 99 (pronounced ni-ni / night night, it became a pavlovian habit from when users go to bed)

Additional registered nicknames include- Squid (Joonghyuk, Sooyoung) Hyung (Gilyoung) Ahjussi (Yoosung, Mia) Rat (Sooyoung, Heewon) Problem (Joonghyuk) Bitch (Dokja, only when they're fighting) Dokja (Uriel, Persephone, Hyunsung, Sangah) (It..gets really confusing if the human Dokja is over)

Salvation has free access to the internet and can be used as a web search, but is usually responsible and only browses around if he's not actively performing a task Takes his data management role very seriously He can split himself and transfer admin copies to other computers/phones (They'll move/behave independently like the kkoma) but it slows down his processing and reaction time so he doesn't like to have more than two or three visual copies of himself at a time (He can still perform all functions while docked, it just creates a window for him to interact with vs having to physically move himself into that space) Everyone in kimcom has a copy of his source code that's automatically synced and backed up every night. Dokja had a scare after he had a laptop melt. Salvation was on Joonghyuk's pc at the time so it was fine but it put the fear of god in Dokja (the first time) Salvation only performs administrative duties as his active function for Dokja, Joonghyuk, Sooyoung, and Donghoon. While he CAN perform these tasks for everyone else, they seem to be content in just having him be a shimeji (kimcom likes to keep a shimeji running for Salvation bc a screen with a running program acts as his scenery. When they found out that Salvation's world is only as many screens as he's running as a shimeji on and is just an empty grid space otherwise, everyone started adding him to the startup programs)

When he's not in work mode, Salvation can get really spicy. With Dokja he commonly steals the cursor, moves windows, rearranges his desktop (not the files bc he's the one that organized them in the first place and gods be damned if he gives himself more work of having to put them back) and actively antagonizes him bc it's funny. A conversation Joonghyuk has heard while passing Dokja's office more than once is Kdj: put that back right now or so help me Dkos: or what, oh nooo don't put me in the recycling bins again I'll fucking eat my way out of it again >:/ Kdj: YOU LITTLE SHIT (Grabs him with cursor or finger if touch screen monitor/cursor is held hostage and just shakes the FUCK out of him) Dkos (while getting shaken like a paint can): I FuCkInG hAtE yOu

He's (usually) more well-behaved when it comes to idling on Joonghyuk's desktop, though. Joonghyuk uses Salvation to handle audio balancing while he's live, and doing program checks while setting up but otherwise leaves him be. Salvation in turn usually only terrorizes the screen when he's starting/ending and not when the game's actually live. Chat can see him and can interact with Salvation through an overlay to keep themselves entertained, he's gone to war with Joonghyuk's chat more than once tbh When Salvation gets too spicy, he'll usually just deal with it or call Dokja over if he's not busy to handle Salvation bc he doesn't want to accidentally hurt him (he's also too tired to deal with this bc Salvation has access to WAY too much shit). He'll switch to a just chatting screen and let Dokja and Salvation beef while he takes a break lmao These fights have happened more than once, so Dokja made an on-screen entity that he affectionately calls "Gay baby jail" (it's shaped like a child's playpen) where he puts Salvation in time out. For some reason Salvation can't physically remove himself from this and it pisses him off. Dokja made the mistake once with forgetting the AI has a MOUTH on him, so this was remedied by an auto-filter while in gay baby jail that converts his speech/dialogue swearing to rubber ducky noises and 🦆emojis Chat has a 500k point redeem that puts Salvation in gay baby jail for 5 minutes (Salvation is actively petitioning to make it 1m points, at LEAST. bc it's what he deserves). It's part of why he actively beefs with chat to keep himself occupied while Joonghyuk is live

He has a squid form that he uses when he goes online There's a menu option on his on-screen display to generate a dumpling for him to eat. He doesn't need food, to be clear, but he still likes eating the dumplings Because he was designed to be an administrative assistant, Salvation can innately defend himself (and his files) from viruses and such to a certain degree, but it's not his core function so he's not specialized in it. This gets remedied later after A Certain EventTM

[autisticempathydaemon]

your match up game looks so fun ‼️‼️‼️‼️ i wanna try it out hehe (rambling ahead)

1. beast of blood by malice mizer :3 i honestly don't have a reason other than it being chaotic enough that it fills up empty noise in my brain lol

2. 5w6 !!

3. ohh i LOVE youtube essays/analyses whether i'm fully listening or have em as background noise, i love horror youtube deep dives, particularly about analog/digital horror series and that one creepypasta iceberg hehe

4. i don't think i've ever had one ? to be honest i don't think i ever thought abt it until i saw it in like . cartoons n shit , never rlly knew about the concept of imaginary friends as a kid 😭

5. recently i use redacted sleep aid audios but most of the time i just . stay awake until my brain shuts down 🤞

6. honestly? i never thought abt this . but the first thing that came into my mind was veronica (idk either!!) though if i genuinely wanted to change my name i'd want it to be gender neutral, and tbh i doubt i'd have any important meaning behind it i'd just pick whatevr sounds nice

7. guy's sleep audio !!!! i joke about wanting guy angst a lot but to be real . this audio of his is so vulnerable .. like before that we only saw him being a goof and stuff yaknow . . idk that one forreals hit different 4 me

8. as much as i love every character, i do not understand why gavin is the most popular😭 don't get me wrong , love him, maybe it's because i haven't listened to the fl series but i do not get the hype💔

9. i don't know all the words per se but i would have to say mean girls . . as problematic as that movie is now its iconic and i love it and i need to rewatch it BAD .

10. damien tbh . haven't gotten to his other audios but i think i would want 2 be besties w him i relate 2 him a good amount (he also seems like the type id be intimidated into doing well in school for)

11. to be real i wld not be able to ramble if im tired LOL i think i'd be more quiet bcz i have a hard time sleeping to begin with

12. tbh just a soda (coca cola bcz i am basic) i go to convenience stores n stuff after school so im only there to pick up something quick before i go home so im in and im out 🔥🔥

13. the 2007 sweeney todd soundtrack 🤞 i cannawt find the movie ANYWHERE and its nostalgic to me so listening to the songs is the closest i'll get to scratch the itch in my brain

14. fnaf tbh EHWHEHW i've been into fnaf ever since i was a kid and it's stuck with me because it's what got me into horror n stuff  🫶

15. i'm a saggitarius, my mbti is INTP, i love horror and fashion, despite wearing a lot of darker alt fashion, my favorite color is pink (my phone case is decorated to the gods its very ridiculous) i like doing my own nails (funnily enough in bright colors) , i think i relate to honey the most in terms of personality, and i like to analyze most of the media im into!!

So part of my thought process is based on your personality types, the Troubleshooter and the Logician. However, I have to admit a bigger part of my reasoning is I think Asher would love your fashion sense and would contrast you so cutely.

Like, on a deep, core level, your personality types give me the impression of someone who’s thoughtful and analytical and capable of solving problems. Those are good traits for a beta’s mate, especially when Asher can have more social, impulsive tendencies. On a funsies level, I imagine Asher dresses like your typical So Cal dude, kinda surfer chic, and he loves your style and what an odd pair you make. Like, on all levels but especially physical, you are the embodiment of the black cat/golden retriever couple.

Asher loves everything about you, so many things about you he finds it hard to pick a favorite. He loves the contrast between your dark clothes and your bright nails, loves asking you to paint his while you’re at it so y’all can match. He loves watching FNAF theories with you, because he was definitely a FNAF teenager. He even loves watching scary movies with you though he’s terrible with them. (Asher’s the type that loves the adrenaline rush while it’s playing but regrets it once it’s time to lock up the house.)

Song:

In the car, I just can't wait/ To pick you up on our very first date/ Is it cool if I hold your hand?/ Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?/ Do you like my stupid hair?/ Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?/ I'm just scared of what you think/ You make me nervous so I really can't eat/ Let's go/ Don't wait/ This night's almost over

Given we canonically know Asher to be a FOB fanboy, it’s hardly a leap to assume he’s a Blink fan, especially this song. I think this particular track is not only fun and nostalgic to him but captures his energy and vibes, how he felt when he first fell in love with you. It’s also catchy as hell, so you know he’s singing this at you full-volume all the time.

Runner-ups:

Anytime someone says they’re a horror fan, I’ve got to put Guy in their big three; one of my top headcanons is that he writes some gripping horror and loves it as a genre. (I also think he loves FNAF lore and finds it so fun, though he was not impressed by the movie.) I also love Lasko for you because I think he admires your bold, authentic fashion choices and finds them inspirational.

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

Too much social activity rn.

Kayaking last Thrusday with some folks from the department (not super close friends). Speakeasy on Friday with my turquoise-friend (plus her bf who is just ok) and another friend in our cohort to celebrate us passing quals which turned into a much longer night as we ended up at a party for a few hours which I was not prepared for socially and tbh it wasn't all that much fun. Celebrated a lab mate's graduation on Saturday, mostly with people I wasn't very close with. Holed up on Sunday and Monday working for like fifteen hours straight both days on problem sets and final projects (a little annoyed that I missed an A in a class by .25 points out of like 100 total but also need to accept that this is a terminal degree program and therefore grades don't really matter all that much.. I'll be over it soon), so couldn't recharge my social battery. Had lunch with the graduating lab mate and my island-friend which was like four hours and it was sooooo fantastic but I think I dropped in energy pretty suddenly because I still hadn't recharged. Celebrated a different lab mate's graduation today over lunch with a bunch of folks in the lab and then had DnD this evening. Department social on Friday. Brunch and a movie with my island-friend and her partner on Saturday (but that will honest to god be fine, maybe even healing).

I promise I do enjoy having a full social calendar but like with two or three events max in a week. This week felt especially heinous because not only did I have those major assignments due, I also wasn't able to recharge very much at all between these events. I know I have things to do tomorrow, but I don't want to talk to anyone. I need to regain some personal peace. Else I might snap at the department social on Friday.

HOWEVER. I have been playing my bass :) Yesterday was day one (woo!) and I watched some lessons on youtube and they were fairly useful, but I went to the library between work and practice today to pick up a few workbooks (still haven't been able to come across the three I actually want), and I started on them today! I really like the workbook approach a lot. I need to get a music stand situation sorted, though. Also need to get a new set of corded headphones; the ones I've been using for years now and have spent the past year or so aggressively repairing to delay the inevitable are just bad. I would like to avoid unnecessary e-waste when possible, but I've used these bedragled audio devices for over half my life. It's time.

I also started using an app called Fret Pro which is like quizlet/knowt for guitarists/bassists, and I think ending my practice time with ten minutes or so of plucking each fret to familiarize myself with where the notes are will be sooooo good.

Getting close to finishing my second sweater. I don't think I'm going to have the yarn to complete full length sleeves so they might end above the elbow. We'll see what I can manage. I wore my first finished sweater out and about yesterday and it was practically perfect for mid-60s weather plus I felt so cute in it. I think slightly longer arms could be nice but they work as-is.

Today I'm thankful that my island-friend and I got lunch with our graduating lab mate. He shared so so so many candid thoughts with us about his perspectives on the lab, the department, and academia as a whole.

I know I want to chill tomorrow but I might also go see Thunderbolts maybe. Like idk how many more times I'll get to see Seb in a silly superhero costume on the big screen, and I need to catch it while still in theaters.

Think I might take out my twists tomorrow. They've been in long enough, and if I want a decent twistout by idk Saturday, they'll need time to cook. I'm going to miss them; I think these are the best twists I've done ever. Length and bounce. Small enough to play around with. They took ages but I am very happy with them.

Signalis Doom - 5

Not much today either, it was mostly a mix of overcoming issues with 3d models in doom and figuring out some workflows.

3d models are still considered sprites, so to get models to display properly, it involves a degree of pointing the engine to look at invisible dummy sprites and then swapping those with the model. Odd stuff. There's better formats than this one and i'm going to look into those. That being said, i'm unsure how much i'm gonna commit to 3d, right now it's just experimentation. what I'll prob end up doing is spending a day banging out a buncha mockup sprites to approximate some chars and start mapping. Just enough to get the idea. tbh i could be doing way more mapping to establish a level language than i am, i'm kinda putting it off to play with textures and i gotta diversify.

I'm considering commissioning some artists for some spritework, either on specific characters or UI elements or such. I know i'll want something done for the opening splash. Most of my time today, and the next few days, is going to be spent reacquainting myself with a host of tools. I've been doing gamedev for years, i went to school for 3d animation, and i've spent a great deal of time in alot of art tools. However, i tend to forget how they work very easily. I realized i'm not gonna get anything done unless i take the time to remember how the following tools work; 1. Maya for core animation(could be a problem, iqm is the newest doom format and the community pipeline is best setup for blender, but we'll see how it goes) 2,. Blender for import/export/better compability with some aspects of gzdoom 3. Photoshop for photo manipulation of the existing textures and as a means of either creating new textures, or givng more nuance to ones i create elsewhere. 4. Aesperite for core pixel art. Signalis is a mix of low rez painted works and pixel art, and knowing when to deploy each is a good idea. 5. I'll need to get a proper toolkit up for the model to 2d pipeline, i have options but they need to be tested. 6. FL studio for audio manipulation. 7. and imma be real i don't know how spreadsheets work and i'm gonna need a hell of a spritesheet to organize what assets i'll need to recreate. That sounds like a lot but i've used them all before, and i'd need to more or less do the same thing for any real production anyway.

On the plus side, i think i've figured out how to do the floors. i'll just take elements of the original textures, and build a larger one out of them with built-in variation for tiles and color variation. I'll add more variation as needed in-editor.

I'm realizing i'm spending alot of time in odd spots. To be honest, i've never done a fan project like this before, much less one working with OG textures. I'm having a tough time getting my head around not only the unique nature of doom modding (releasing contnet packs taht can slot into any game) with full game production (Og maps, mechanics, story with bespoke stuff) ontop of fanworks (fanfiction, recontexualization of original assets). part of me wonders if my focus on getting og textures working is a mistake, as it's putting me in a mindset that's not the most useful for my project. But we'll see, I'll get my priorities straightned out, this ain't getting done overnight either way.

[dreaminginsteadofsleeping42]

Here it is! My tradition of predicting what each song on a new Taylor album will be about, and being completely ✨wrong!✨

01 Fortnight [ft. Post Malone]

I was thinking about this this morning, and I have this feeling...A dance beat. Probably completely wrong, but I'll give my intuition this one. 

02 The Tortured Poets Department

The thesis statement of this album. Will outline and explain the concept of the tortured poets department in broad brushstrokes. Contains many facets that will be explored individually on other songs. Biting, smart lyrics. Quick vocal delivery. 

03 My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys

The second I saw this title, I thought of "why'd I have to break what I love so much?" from Afterglow. Scornful assessment of self-sabotaging habits of said boy. Possibly trying to justify why things Be Rough.

04 Down Bad

I'm excited for this one, because I think it will be a song about a relationship that the speaker is aware should end, but they don't have the heart for it. So instead sexy times.

05 So Long, London

I am terrified Taylor is going to cancel London, lol. Not sure if this is going to be a mournful goodbye or a biting one. It is so weird not having any idea what this album is going to sound like. This could be an upbeat bop for all I know. But I think it will swing back and forth between genuine hurt and bite.

I also think it won't only be about London specifically, but also cover the lifestyle, friends, and in-laws she had to leave behind. Been thinking about the post-jover implications of "family that I chose now that I see your brother as my brother." Pain.

06 But Daddy I Love Him

Justification of the procrastination of jover. I do wonder if this is a direct Little Mermaid reference, or just common terminology. If the former, maybe the audio clip from the movie plays at the beginning, and she never actually says the title in her lyrical content? I just can't imagine Taylor saying this for some reason, lol. Unless in a strongly country accent.

07 Fresh Out the Slammer

I think this might be a more carefree one with a sense of humor on display, or as carefree as one can be on the tortured poets department.

08 Florida!!! [ft. Florence and the Machine]

Probably about her eras dates there. I predict she will scream "Florida!!!" in a very like folky woodland fairy / spirit haunting the moors type of way. 

09 Guilty as Sin?

For this one, I'm predicting a mock court case songwriting structure attempting to identify who is responsible for the problem(s) in a relationship. Maybe it will swing back and forth between "YOU'RE guilty as sin" and "I'm guilty as sin" and perhaps it will end on, "is either of us? Is it that black and white?" hence the question mark.

10 Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?

Maybe a commentary or consideration of how certain so-called grown men are scared of being written into her songs, and meditating on the power she holds from that. I'm just a writer. It's just songs. Why are you so scared of me? You shouldn't do bad things etc. etc.

11 I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)

The title seems pretty straight forward, but appearances can be deceiving. Maybe a to-do list of how to mend a fraught relationship. How You Get the Girl (Pain Version). A bit all over the place emotionally, and I don't mean this in a sexist "hysterical woman" way, but in a there will be a lot of different emotions way. Panic, sarcasm, hope.

12 LOML

This one holds intensely scary possibilities, but tbh, they all do. I've seen it theorized that the titular "loml" will stand for different things throughout the song. I don't know; and it's not my theory, so I cannot lay any claim to it if it's true. I'm going to say this one's a ballad, but I might be being influenced by the Queen song of the same name. What if she samples it? That's my wild card theory.

13 I Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Considering the language she used in the Time POTY article, I think it's fair to say this is about going onstage in the wake of jover. I'd say the moonshine/eclipse lyric is from this one. About recognizing your power and how you still have it, even when you may feel like shit.

14 The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived

Again pretty obvious...Maybe this album tells a chronological story and this is when she stops trying to justify her lover's actions and turns to putting them on unapologetic, well-written, scathing blast.

15 The Alchemy

I predict witchy, willow vibes. A list of ingredients on how to turn a love into gold. Another how-to song.

16 Clara Bow

I said the titular song is the thesis statement of the album, but I predict Clara Bow rephrases the thesis with the context of everything that comes before, like any good essay. Considering everything in her life and coming to grand, sweeping conclusions.

The Manuscript

A love letter? Maybe views the entire relationship through the frame of the manuscript is the accumulation of every single song she wrote about them? The story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now...Here is all the proof.

The Bolter

I've seen a lot of other fan theories about this one, and I do lean towards the prediction that it's about her tendency to bolt. How she frames that and what the conclusion of the story is: I should have bolted? You should have bolted? I was right all along and will be a bolter for the rest of my life?

The Albatross

The context of sailors capturing albatrosses and making fun of them being awkward on-land when they're so graceful alone in the sky...ow. Ms. Swift will definitely be doing something with that. Is SHE the albatross? Probably.

The Black Dog

This is one of the ones I'm most excited for because I think it will delve into really depressive topics really candidly and personally I could vibe with that.

It is kind of funny Taylor has not one but two songs named after animals on this album, and neither of them are cats.

[thegempage]

owo made-up fic title: burn it down (any fandom!!)

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

..... so i know i said i'd pick a fandom but actually i'm gonna do three of the four fandoms i mentioned in the tags:

tales from riftdale:

tbh my initial thought was "clair goes apeshit." the Eye goes too far -- they've started taking people off the streets who don't come back, the people he trusts are gone, they're hot on his tail. very heavily leaning into "clair used to be an agent" theory, clair basically goes then fuck it and leaks every secret the Eye has been keeping, live on air, daring them to come get him. it's an idea that might work better as an audio, tbh, bcus the Crystal Clear ending is clair screaming that it's over now, they're both stuck up shit creek, and then it's just.... silence. a long, terrifying silence. and then...

"attention, citizens of riftdale. the threat is contained. you are now SAFE."

poll for initiative:

100%, without a doubt, no other option: this is the story of how lys destroys the world. the prophecy turns its head as one of its worst options, everything everyone was afraid of come true. probably spurned on by cassandra's death, tbh, bcus i'm a sappy bitch, and probably foxbud's. it's lys tearing down the very fabric of reality even before any of the other people clamoring to get their hands on it can, not looking for what comes with the rebirth of everything but seeking only destruction. it's lys at her worst. it's every horrible thing people assumed about her eating away at the good in her heart, cities in flames, the Shifting Tempest as a sign of ruin as lys uses it to run. there's nothing left for her in this world and if the gods are so convinced she'll end the world, then she'll spit in their faces when she does.

in the end, lys falls to her knees as the world burns down around her, sobbing. bedlam is the only one left, and even he has no words for her.

the locked tomb:

tbh i'm only part way through htn so i don't have As much of an idea for this, but i think it'd be an interesting like, "this is the hard part before we patch things up" part of a modern au -- this is the end of gtn parallel, where harrow and gideon thought they could start to work things out, that they're on more even footing, and then shit hits the fan in a way neither of them could predict. people around them are in pain, and they should (only) have each other, but they don't know how yet. and when gideon tries to have harrow's back it ends up causing more problems than it solves, and the fic ends with them worse off than they started, not only their progress in flames but any inclination to look back and re-contextualize their previous interactions smoldering. and they'll fix it, one day, maybe, but right now it's up in flames

djfkadlsfjklds thank you, ahh, this was fun : D

[loveyourlovelysoul]

Hello! I have been enjoying the content here, so thank you for it! Recently I feel so drained. Exhausted. Mentally and physically. My head, eyes,ears hurt. And my thoughts are messy. Any specific tips on how to relax both mentally and physically ?

Thank you a lot for your words and for being around! Let me just remind you and everyone else that I am not a professional figure, and anything you find on here is either from my own experience/reflections and online resources (phsychologists/therapists and such).

Now, to answer you. Exhaustion is a common feeling these days, as far as I have noticed: heat itself (if applies) may cause exhaustion and headaches, as our bodies consume more energies to keep up with it. Exhaustion also usually brings in the need to sleep more to recover, and your thoughts may indeed feel scattered cause of this tiredness: you cannot focus on anything, at least not for long. You may even get easily nervous.

A pretty long period of deep anxiety/stress caused by any reason/s may give you these symptoms, all of which may sum up into something called "mental exhaustion": your mind, after that huge period of stress and demanding activities (maybe school ended? Or a more stressing job/life situation, for example, but also healing itself), is telling you by sending signals through your whole body that is time to rest, and this is why your thoughts may seem more confused than the usual and you feel so tired and have all these pains.

To be fair, these symptoms could even relate to other causes, from blood pressure to cervical pain caused by a specific position, for example. I would recommend, if you think you may need, to have a check with your doctor or have blood analysis before referring to any specialist (maybe even a nutritionist), just in case this fatigue may originate from the lack of any vitamin or other molecule in your body. I, for example, have low level of iron which causes me low blood pressure and exhaustion/headaches especially in summer, and I need to integrate it in my routine.

Anyway, as you are realizing the causes of your problems (if you need, but I had to mention cause again I'm in no way a professional figure in any field involved here), you can try to give your mind and body breaks.

Mentally, you can do anything that helps you relax and recover from that stress: from taking a walk, to meditating, drawing or painting, cooking, doing yoga movements (some are very helpful, there are videos by yoga instructors on youtube + I had posted my routine as well somewhere)... TBH my brother recharges by going out with friends while it just would drain me to no end: we're all different so I cannot suggest you anything specific. Just find out what works for you, follow your guts: if one day you need to draw, just draw; if another day you want to sleep, just sleep. Listen to yourself. There are also guided meditations to relax yourself on youtube if you want to try them: maybe focusing on doing something specific while laying down, can be of help both not thinking about anything stressful that may happen to you and could help you even sleep better. I might also try and post at least the text of a meditation I used to follow in the past (not sure if I can post it anywhere as an audio, I'll see).

I personally would recommend slowing down your life in general: evaluate priorities and urgencies and focus on these while postponing all that you can (unless it will make you torment yourself over what you need to do next: while you recover/relax, you need to commit to recovering/relaxing, and thinking about what you need to do next is not helping you recovering nor relaxing); also sleep as much as you can/feel/need to. Do not feel guilty about it, you're only saving energies and trying to get back more after having given away so many. Be as present as you can: worrying about past or future stuff won't help you relax, just stay in touch with yourself and listen to yourself.

Hope this helps!

[babakiyaga]

so sorry again for the double ask but i feel inclined to ask for my other wife, mina.

how would mina’s relationship with each of the 🧩❓s that exist be like? who do you think she’d get on with like a house on fire 😏

Don't ever be sorry!!! Tbh they're good exercises to really think about these little idiots. Naomi you really be hittin' the good good 👌👨‍🍳 *chef's kiss*

Alright but let me say this is very hard because 🧩❓ is so... Ofc very vastly intelligent and I am not. LMAO. So it's like the author (me) is creating a character (Mina) who is very smart, or brilliant in her own way so I have to do my best in not making her look bad. Like fuck. All because I'm committed to the bit. Aka romancing fucking uhhhh puzzle face.

Because I have actually thought about the different iterations of him!

But oh my god It's so hard with comic book characters though, since theirs so many different ones. And in no way am I a 🧩❓ expert flakjwer same with 🐧 so I'm always worried what if someone see's this and they're all 🤬 but then I tell myself I'm old and I simply should not care and do what I want. Because all the rest of the old people do 😂😂😂😂

I'll start with BTAS though, as always, since I grew up with it! Oh! And I will say each Mina in each universe is for that universe, or she'd be changed a little to fit that 'Earth' as DC likes to call it. But BTAS 🧩❓ is a lot more tame, at least I think he is, compared to some of the others out there. I mean did he try to murder his old boss? Yes. But his old boss did fire him and not give him credit for everything he created so... You know... And if I pull in some of the uhhh New Animated Series and comics that go with this version of him. I think it could work. There's actually a great piece in the comics where 🧩❓ he admits he has a problem and states he needs to go back to Arkham himself. Here is an audio someone made of it, the post also has a link to the comic if you wanna read it! But it's just the self awareness and you know stop setting deathtraps Mina is obv going to be all 👀😊 Like you did it, baby! You're breaking the cycle! Because she wants to root for him and care for him and be partners! I'm so sorry I will just also say she is so cheesy! She'd love to be partners or rivals with another detective- As much as she sees the good she's doing in finding you know a missing person or helping someone out with a cheating scandal (for money) she wants to be better than anyone else that might be doing the case. So she kind of sees her job as a game and would love to have someone else to play the game with, and that to her is 🧩❓

Okay, let me just get Batman: Zero Year or Capullo 🧩❓ out of the way. It would never work. LMAO. Not in probably a million years. I myself like this version of him! But what he did is the most whack-ass shit and Mina would NOT be okay with it like ever. If he ever got out of Arkham Asylum she'd probably narc on him point blank, like lock that MF back up. I don't know if you've read Zero Year (is it part of N52? I don't know the new stuff sorry flkajwer) but he basically turned all of Gotham into an entire fucking jungle, like he destroyed everything and fucking ruined millions of lives. All for what? For what? Because only the smart should survive and shit like that??? Now if they met before he did all that when he was just a 'consultant' or strategist at Wayne Enterprises, she'd probably bang him! But it would not be a relationship and after he does what he does she'd just be... Kill this mf even if he's sexy in some insane manner. She'd probably be an antagonist to him on this Earth.

Batman 2022 ehhhhhhhhhh Imma be real, I almost barely remember him when I watched that movie. It's like my brain blocked him cuz I thought he was... I don't know. It was too realistic and I see 🧩❓more camp. But Mina in that universe again would just be 'Let's swat this man.' She'd probably be the person on his forums just heckling him and when he tries to find her IP or ANYTHING on this user (her) he can't. So it pisses him off. Basically, it would not work because she does not care for incel men. That's probably what she'd see him as. Or those people that worship or are fascinated and collect serial killer items. The only saving grace is if he had, again, self-awareness of what he was doing or acting. Because Mina in that universe would understand to change things... A lot of people in power would need to be taken out. Whether by assassination or some other means like spilling the truth. But the way he goes about it, it's just not it for her. Again she'd probably be an antagonist to him actually in that Earth.

THIS IS SO LONG ALREADY I'M SO SORRY!

UMMMMMMM SPEED RUN OTHERS!?

Young Justice - I think it would work because he's so... That version of him is so soft and goofy! Mina would probably, not be okay, but would defiantly harp on him to change professions but she wouldn't impede in what he does. Even if it's bad. Like super bad where the young justice league has taken him in before. She'd be a bystander and just the one that says: "I told you so." She's waiting for him to learn his lesson cuz how he's written is much lighter and she'd be smitten by his gappy teeth and lisp.

OH and Gotham!🧩❓ That would be interesting bc she'd probably have to watch out since 🐧 literally killed one of Ed's girlfriends. But if birb is occupied with snake then... Maybe? Again she'd be like 'lol you gotta stop killing people dude uhhhh' and would more likely want to be a rival or just outsmart him than be romantic. At first. I'm sure she'd get a crush but how Ed has been written after (accidentally) killing his first GF he's uhhhh a lil unhinged. As that whole show is but lakfjwerkl

There's like telltale!🧩❓, unburied, and uhhh omg just a lot of others and I'll be honest in most of those Earths she'd be an antagonist. She's not GCPD or a cop, but she is someone who's defiantly done cases and probably found out they were victims of his death traps. And she's just like 'wtf no!' and not be okay with it. Even if she's a bit of a hypocrite and is okay with other... murders... (her friend Sophie turning people to stone lfkajwer) But there's a line!

I saved the best for last because I love Akrham! 🧩❓ I have the most ideas for them. Well, several. Like there's a good ending and a bad ending just like a game, cuz it's fun! I will just say bad ending is probably the most likely that would happen, but bad ending is just them killing each other. And in the most mundane way, or annoying way he'd see it as. Because it would not be some elaborate death trap or puzzle that does him in, or just something complex. She shoots him. They might even shoot each other. And bleed out next to each other, very possession 1981 is how I picture it. tw blood and gore if you click links alfkjwelrk (I'm sorry I'm unwell 😔) It would be in a cool setting though! Probably in one of his lairs, or he's constructing a new death trap for Batman or even Wonder City! But good ending is always him eventually becoming a Detective, like other versions of him, so in a way, he does become redeemable. I mean originally this version of him started off working at the GCPD and wanting to expose the corruption in Gotham, he just went about it all... Bad. LMAO. Also, I love how the progression through the games you see how he goes from clean-cut to just total ratification. When Mina begins talking to him she's only seen photos of him, so when he worked GCPD and when he's in his nice green suits! but when they do get to meet in person PHEW she takes one look at his pathetic, skin and bones, wet little dumbass and is just 'I need to care for him' but also be mad bc you know he's annoying AF.

hi honey ! thank you so much for coming back to my ask - i'm just struggling with figuring out which version of the audio / video is the highest quality to download

hello!! for youtube picking the audio is the easiest bc the best audio they have are format 140 or 251, i use 251 most of the time but using any of these two will get you good audio (i'd use 140 if i only want audio)

but video is where the problem of picking the best one might get tricky.

Let's take a look, this is a 1080p video that has the option to be streamed with premium bitrate on youtube, in this case format 616 only looks like the best video size of all 1080p (it won't dl at that size btw it's an approximate) (note on this: you don't need to be a yt premium user to get this format with yt-dlp, only if you want to actually watch the video on youtube)

in this case, it's a 1080p video that doesn't have premium bitrate (regular 1080p) and the biggest formats in this case were 270 and 614

and now for a 4k video the biggest two are 625 and 313

it all depends on how big the file looks like in these formats tbh but the ones i have circled here in all examples are the formats i personally use, i just switch them up depending on what gives me the biggest approximate size. Btw, all of this will probably give you videos on .webm this video format still plays on all video players!! so if you do screencaps you'll be all good, but if you use videos to use video frames to layers then you'll need to convert it bc photoshop won't open it

so tl;dr:

for audio:

140 or 251 (140 if you only want audio, i personally use always 251)

for video:

regular 1080p: 270 or 614

premium bitrate 1080p: 616

4k: 625 or 313

after that you tell yt-dlp to download like: yt-dlp -f audio format+video format youtube link and then hit enter and let yt-dlp work, once it finishes it'll open a new line to write stuff

i hope this helps more? if you still have doubts or don't undestand something, please come back and i'll help out! <3

6:32 a.m edited/added to

I gamed until like 4 a.m and I lost a 40 minute video that thank God I didn't save so I can redo it. I was online, sometimes I feel like I'm being sabotaged tbh.. but I'm not allowed to feel that way bc I have psychosis....

It's funny cause most of my best videos when I streamed on twitch would have, "muted audio," I'd have to appeal for copyright and other issues like disconnections and weird glitches. It's the reason I stopped streaming. It was a major problem and I lost many good videos bc of it.

And since I've been recording muted audio for copyright isn't an issue cause technically I can record American dad or something it would just need to be credited on YouTube.

Although I've been recording offline bc I feel like someone sabotages me. I forgot to go offline when i was recording that 40 minute video and bam the video disappeared. Funny how that works if I had saved I wouldn't be able to complete my chapter 5 playthrough of Bully bc it would have been missing 2 missions and I'm making videos chapter by chapter with all main and non-storyline missions complete.

I hate psychosis. I have to say it was just a mishap... but once I started recording offline I haven't had any issues.. I do feel sabotaged.

My trans channel is taking off. Getting hundreds of views a day and if one day that happens to my gaming channel I'll blow up with the quality of my content. Yet I can't believe that being online might be the reason.

I'm annoyed but at least I didn't save and can redo those two missions and piece together my whole playthrough of chapter 5.... I only have like 6 more missions before I can put it together and post the complete playthrough... I wish I could have finished it tonight.

Anyways, the shoes didn't fit any better but I still got to fuck with them a little but I might as well return them. I could use the money and loosening them doesn't seem to do anything...

Also do I believe elise is here? I can't bc of psychosis another reason i Hate it. I can't allow myself to be delusional at all. I need facts about everything..

Anyways- after I gave up on my video and decided to do it tomorrow, I changed all my, "made for kids," videos to adults as I lost that SH2 Maria video due to some uptight parent who reported it and I can't get it back. I have to remake it when I had 20 hours of view time on it... I'm not willing to risk losing any more videos to some stupid asshole of a parent. I work too hard on them between trying to be perfect and waiting hours to piece them together....

The only videos I left as made for kids was the minecraft video cause fuck it if someone reports it for some reason or another. It sucks cause made for kids can really get my views up but I can't lose another amazing video I make. I invested a good 10 hours in that Maria video and its fucking gone. I learned my lesson. Not to mention if I for example get one more community strike I'm not allowed to post any videos for a long time.

Anyways as I was adding tags to my new videos and changing my made for kids videos back to adults only, my hallucination was driving me fucking crazy. It was awful and tbh idk how much longer I can live like this.

If youre here Elise, I noticed something. When I tried to load your Instagram from my Mac it had that, "couldn't load page," thing.. then I tried from my phone and it was loading...

The night I thought you were deactivated as some sort of invitation, I checked many times on my Mac and then my phone. They both said couldn't load page.... and then when I made the post about it, 20 minutes later I could load your page.. so idk if I disrespected you...

I question everything, are you here? Did you really deactivate your account or was it something with safari/google/meta? I can't trust anything bc of psychosis. Until you reach out to me I'm going to write about you until I move on... and I'm going to have no idea if you're really here or not.

Long, boring life update!

So I got a notice I had to mow my lawn at my new place, which, fair, it still had a large overgrown section despite me making progress elsewhere.

I am pleased to announce it took literally 2 hours, tops, to mow the whole thing and weedwhack the last big patches of overgrowth. And that's with an electric weedwhacker I had to charge halfway through and my push mower. There was only one section that was a bitch to mow so going forward it's just getting weedwhacked. It's a steep hill in a funny shape. It should really be bushes/flowers for landscaping there, frankly, but I can't plant anything that isn't grass-ish in the front.

I found a really great audio book and am happy to go out tomorrow and listen to some more while I do detail work after The Great Mow. It's about Boeing and can basically be summed up with "we can still blame 90% of the country's problems on Reagan".

The "lawn" is just a disaster in general so turning it into a clover lawn will be an improvement, tbh. I placed my order for seeds and will be able to start in on the transformation it by the end of this month. There's already some patches of white clover so I don't think it'll take too long. I'm hoping it'll be mostly clover by the end of summer. I hate that I have to HAVE a lawn but I want to take good care of it and make it look good.

My garden in the back is establishing pretty well. The cucumber plants are trying to make a mighty comeback. I still planted some seeds as a back up but pleased to see the new leaves on the poor plants I nearly killed. I had to pinch off some tomatoes trying to form--I'll let anything from this point on grow but wanted to give them another week to establish roots before doing anything fun like that. All 6 of the zucchini plants are loving life. My idea to use sweet potatoes to break up some of the soil in prep for next year seems that it may work--several of the slips are taking off like crazy. RIP to the person getting this place after me. Hope they like sweet potatoes as much as I do.

Right so I'm thinking of making a new blog and I want to link a YouTube video with a character talking on it.

The only problem is that I could do it I just don't think my terrible iPhone recordings and my scouse accent will do it justice. I can do a posher accent if I try. Kind of like London or oxford? But that still doesn't solve the situation of terrible audio.

If anyone here can do voice acting I'd appreciate a female voice for this character. If I get more than 1 I'll have to probably do auditions but honestly I doubt that will happen. I don't really care what the accent is tbh it's just have you heard scouse. Easily the worst uk accent. Preferably something intimidating

My application got approved for the audio transcription job. Their reviews aren't great tbh but idk if that's because it's actually awful or people're just pissy abt getting disqualified? I have a training thing to do and uuuuhhh then i can start actually working. I'll let y'all know how it is.

Also survey junkie paused my account because they think I've been using multiple accounts?? But i only have the one?? So like idk I'm working with their customer service to get it resolved which is honestly more trouble than it's worth

I wonder if they have a problem with my paypal email being different than the email i registered with?

So i put in an application for an audio transcription job today, i should hear back within a week if i get approved

If everything seems legit I’ll post more info on it in case anyone else is interested in earning extra cash working from home (estimated like $260/mo so you can’t earn a living doing this but it’s a'ight extra spending money)

I had been doing Survey Junkie for the past month, but since i cashed in my points & got paid I’ve stopped getting emails and surveys from them. There’ve been ZERO surveys from them over the past week. That’s pretty fucked up. Prior to this there was daily emails And new surveys every few hours? Seems weird to me all of that would stop once i got paid :/

And i mean, it did take me a month to earn $40 so it wasn’t super profitable or abutting but it was better than nothing. I don’t really like inbox dollars. Um. Idk if there’s a better paid survey site??

Or just better online money making shit in general. I’m open for suggestions if anyone else has found successful side hustles??
