"No dream can hide itself", huh? I guess nightmares don't count.

all the news going around with unity's really got me worried for games that are already several years into development like Hollow Knight Silksong and Billie Bust up.

Just rough because I don't suppose a whole lot of games are going to be able to pivot game engines, let alone so late in development. Like it is easier said than done to pivot early in development but i've been following the development of several games that are years in at this point and the fact that they're grandfathering older titles into this is just... it's just bad.

The potential loss of games in terms of archival on such a massive scale....

how do i tell my roommate that her cat repeatedly pissing on and destroying my things is something that people usually offer to clean or replace or apologize for instead of shrugging off

[disdaidal]

Pondering whether I should start working on writing another lengthy tutorial on the art of gifmaking/photo editing on Photoshop, even though there are already lots of tutorials out there and here for that.

But I'm also feeling more like... I could do a full-length tutorial (on GDocs maybe?) with multiple chapters, that's covering up the whole process from downloading/recording/ripping videos to installing & setting up Photoshop itself, to learning how to use a few basic tools and making your own coloring/recording actions etc. to finally saving and exporting your creations, ready to be shared here or on other websites/platforms.

I know Tumblr gifmaking is kind of a dying form of 'art' already: people aren't interested in it as much as anymore as they used to be, not to mention reblogging gifsets, and so many are also using mobile phones these days where gifs, at least on Tumblr mobile app, look blurry and kinda just really bad most of the time, so, I don't know. Could be pointless; a huge waste of time for me also.

On the other hand... I have a lot of knowledge from gifmaking and using Photoshop from the last 10+ years, at least. I have tried and used different tools and different methods, and figured out the techniques that work best for me, that help me create more things / a lot of faster. I've also come across and solved a few PS-related problems and glitches along the way, so maybe I could talk about how to solve some of those problems, too.

Could be an interesting writing project. For me, at least. To type down and put together all I know, everything I've learned during these past few years and see how far I've come, if not for else.

hiiii hello I am officially Back From Vacation and the only resolutions I have for this year so far are

"write more" in the most abstract ambiguous way possible so I can't possibly get down on myself for falling short of expectations

FINALLY finish poor Confetti's jester collar and tail accessory partly because she's been waiting so patiently for way too long and it'll take like. a single afternoon. and also partly maybe moreso because I had an idea for a third clown themed OOAK pet surprise but I absolutely cannot in good conscience start that when Confetti is still sitting there half-dressed on top of my sewing machine

ff7 spoilersssss mmmwah

i’m reeling a bit having clouds (presumably) whole backstory now. still haven’t finished the game so there could be more to come and i may be missing stuff rn buttt. it’s interesting to me how in the end cloud isn’t a true clone of sephiroth (which i know clone is also a contentious translation choice but regardless) or anything huge or grand but a kid from a small town who was ostracized and tried to prove himself and failed. he isn’t the archetypal hero. he didn’t have any friends. he hugely resented and constantly fought his peers who ostracized him. he tried to run away and be a big, tough member of SOLDIER to prove himself but was too weak to cut it. i mean, to put it in a kind of reductive way, he was a loser. who then happened to get himself ensnared in human experimentation and have himself permanently tied to sephiroth and jenova by genetic alteration. the persona of cloud strife we know for the entire first half of the game is the ideal he was never capable of reaching and that his brain (and his wonderful new jenova cells exerting their influence) convinced him of to cope. and we as the player fell for this persona just as much as cloud himself did. after all why would we question who we are? we’re the hero of this story

baking never feels more like science to me than when i'm trying to cobble together an intricate multi step recipe together from several different recipes and tutorials online because the recipe I'm imagining doesn't exist....

[journeyman-tier-fibercraft]

Been busy enough to justify a full round up for this WIP Wednesday. The TL;DR being that I'm back to being fully lace brained.

Blanket 10 is NEARLY finished. I've started attaching the last row and just need to finish out this row and then do a border (and give him a good wash, I've owned some of this yarn for years and it smells a little dusty). The nights are starting to get really cold here so I'll be happy to have it done, I just gotta force myself to work on it.

Doily 14 (Yarn | Pattern) needs to go on a longer needle but other than that is very fun and cute. I've decided to put it down for a bit to work on the next two projects but I expect when they get boring I'll go back to this. This pattern is surprisingly simple for a Neibling as long as you're prepared for the long pattern rows. Absolutely going to have to break out the washi tape to mark off my rows for the second chart, but the first one has been very easy lace knitting.

Unnamed project aka me fucking around to see if I can freehand this sweater design. I had started with a two row lace ("Honeycomb lace" from A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G Walker) but honestly didn't find it fun to knit. So I transitioned to a favourite of mine (ssk, k2tog, yo twice). It's going a lot faster now tho it looks a little weird. I'm going to knit to the underarm and if it fits, it stays. If it's too small I'll rip all the way back and redo the shaping in this lace pattern instead with longer shoulder saddles. It's unfortunate that I didn't like knitting the honeycomb lace, I really like how it looks, I'll have to try swatching it in different yarns to see if the problem is just that this yarn has zero stretch (100% cotton).

I have decided I will put short sleeves on this tho. I had planned to just add ribbing for the arms but I saw a drop shoulder vest in a similar style and did Not like it, so this just saves me from having to rip back. I also think I'm going to have to leave this cropped, I'm not a big crop top person but with this yarn being cotton, having a full length body along with the sleeves is going to have the neckline very stretched. There may be no helping it regardless but there's no harm in trying. I imagine if this is does become something I wear it'll either be in the dead of summer or layered over a button up/some sort of top anyway, so a crop wouldn't be too uncomfortable.

Last but certainly not least is Shawl 14 (Pattern | Yarn). My precious Evenstar is coming along very well, I'm actually on the second to last pattern row before the set up for the border. I know the border is going to be a slog but I'm excited for it regardless, he's huge even all compressed on the needles. My self imposed deadline for him is April, but the border is only 56 repeats. If I can do one every other day I should be right on time, which sounds do-able even tho I know I'll get bored by the halfway point.

I need to keep an eye out for patterns for this yarn, I have a whole second cone plus what'll be left after I finish this shawl. These cones staring at me will probably be the push I need to settle on an Orenburg shawl pattern. (Or possibly a large Neibling, or one of MMario's patterns.)

Ep. 3 A Study in Scarlet

Alight, another corset piece, though this one is more on the lingerie side of things. I have to take off a total of 4 inches on it but it's an elastic material so perhaps i could do a bit more to get a better fit.

i didn't cut the excess off of what i took in and ideally i could/should add my light weight boning to the sides to give it more structure. I'm just debating on if this is something only to be worn underneath clothes or if it can be worn as a top??? Who knows!

It's a work in progress while i figure out what i want outta this top but for now it at least lays better on my body so that's a win!

[brains-out-rn]

I don't like debating much(unless necessary for the sake of my own humanity) but sometimes it can be really Really fun specifically if it's about something that has absolutely no real weight to it(and yet if you were a spectator it might cause some concern for whatever reason)

for example: would you rather be threatened(physically mentally or emotionally take your pick) by a can of corn or a cob of corn?

Me personally I'd pick cob for a few reasons

1. I can outlast it(probably)

Fresh corn will eventually rot and decay but have you seen how long canned stuff can last unopened before it looks slightly different from new stuff??

2. Cans are made of metal not vegetable flesh

While a corn cob has its core that's not metal. Ever dropped a can? Might get a dent. If you have a good kick then you might survive but you will probably hurt your foot. Ever dropped corn? If it had it outer leaves and hair it might have stood a chance but if it didn't then bits of corn go everywhere

3. Actually fighting if needed

I feel like I could survive a fight with a sentient can but a sentient cob just seems less likely to hurt

However there are some things might change my decision

Like issue one which is how the corn moves because if the cob is fresh with hair and leaves and can move all the little hairs individually and can move the leaves then I'd probably choose the can because at that point I feel like it's less of "how would i survive with the least amount of bruising" and more of "how would I rather die but with a chance of surviving" and in my opinion i think blunt force trauma would be better then a slow death of strangulation via a sentient corns hair plus I do think I'd have a chance against a can of corn

Another issue is if it was mentally or emotionally I'd probably go with the can bc I feel like it would be easier for to rationalize it as ridiculous to be threatened by a can of corn then a cob for some reason

Like a cob is ridiculous to the point that I'd just accept it as making sense for that to happen?

a can is like "why am I listening to the can of corn. I literally own a can opener." But a cob is more like "if I were to try and deal with you in the traditional way of dealing with corn that would mean a pot and water and time and-"

Plus idk why but I feel like a cob would be less mean with its words. I can't explain it I just think cob would just go straight to physical threats instead of emotional ones but a can would stare at you menacingly making you question yourself and just judging you

Murder drones personality AND ship swap au where—

Okay this is for sure done before **somewhere** BUT oh well

— ahem. ONTO THE MORE INTERESTING STUFF‼️

V takes the place of N in terms of personality and role. Vuzi becomes real?! She gets bullied—abused? Bad with words—by J. V is still short. SHE ACTUALLY GETS HER SCARF TOO!! And cuz it’s V she likes dogs more than cats. Also yes she still can’t see very well 💔

J is actually some what reasonable but instead of being mean to N she’s mean to V, but like instead of disappearing Uzi manages to make her be nicer and she apologizes to V. J actually tries to be better and yea!!

N takes the role and personality of V. He get put in time out chair and chain 💔

Do with this what you will

I might make art of it tmr if I’m not DYING 💔

Probably more stuff in my head that I dunno how to put into words… and that’s it for this post! I think-

Speaking of art I might do an art dump later, and by later I mean if I still have energy after tagging and posting this

It's true that it's not unusual, when reading fast, to *not* be looking at every letter in the word - I mean, that's how we miss typos, especially in our own work. And the brain does fill in gaps. But that's not how you should TEACH reading. Oh my god.
