My Primo headcanon is 'chill old man who dreams of nothing but murder all day long.' Whenever he gets the urge to blow up the White House he puts that urge on a leaf and floats it downstream like his court-mandated therapist taught him to in 1996.

was deathly curious about how this managed to brick .flow, so i went ahead and tried to replicate it.

im assuming oop didnt change file name, nor file type, nor file color type; in my little experience, a rpg maker game project starts with limited paletes on sprite sheets. theres ways to circunvent this with different palettes, but never the full range on one file... to someone not aware of this, and this file being .png and not .bmp, it would mean that adding white to it would pose no issue, right?

(poorly done mario voice) lets-a go!

(i just realized that after spending so long NOT playing .flow, i completely forgot the paths to the sugar hole. probably not the most intuitive, but im starting at music world for that in-between sewers/smiles house mini maze short cut)

no yea, bricked. blood puke and pus is fine, but throw a little starbucks original recipe secret ingredient and suddenly you cant have shit in doflowville.

restoring the file and trying it again with a color from the slime itself, still saving it as a png in current version ms paint, which doesnt really give me bitmap color options. crashes all the same.

its definitely my last hypothesis. it doesnt matter what you do to it, re-saving the file as just 'png' alters the type of png it is, but current day ms paint doesnt give you much of a choice. or rather, it gives you too much choice(freedom) by not limiting the colors to the pre-assigned palette.

decided to double check on rpg maker before moving on. indeed, it cant use the file, as it shows up as a black screen.

restoring charset again, and decide to try in a different program; how about windows xp paint? that one imposed the color limitations; it even had a special mode where if you were working in a 1bit bitmap, all the colors switched to dither patterns, instead. preddy neat! (man im old)

and... yep, theres your issue. an older ms paint exe respects the color limitations. Notice i have white selected, but what im coloring in is light green (also a full square with purple as a fill, to further drive the point home):

and with that figured out.

this particular map now throws no error, which should mean if we activate the slime, it will be properly defaced.....

luckily for us, this is one of the easier randomizers to active:

all done! enjoy your erhm... cum?

Where's that one reddit post where the op bricked their copy of .flow by writing "cum" on one of the sewer textures hold on.

6 page (pg-13?) rinniki comic inspired by that one rly cute hajime story in which hajime is invited to eat pizza with rinne at niki's place. did this sort of as rinne's bday comic since niki got one too! sorry if its a little ooc i needed them in the Situation for this comic to work...

that dangling spit over someones face as punishment thing is 100% an older sibling forbidden move . anyway.. always fun to draw a short comic. see you aruound space cowboys

i need a third character to make those pretty three way venn diagrams

[hexjulia]

the cat in Flow made me emotional because it was so clearly an extremely adored animal that had been quite suddenly abandoned and instead of being silent it kept making the meowing sounds it was accustomed to make to communicate with whoever sculpted all those images of it. the person whose desk it was sleeping on next to an unfinished sculpture of itself. It's not a feral cat in a long-abandoned world because if it was it wouldn't make those sounds; feral cats don't do that. it keeps communicating distress and annoyance at no one in particular because it's used to there being someone around who cares about its comfort. hanging on the side of a boat meowing sadly because it's used to being picked up.

HELP A FAMILY FROM GAZA - Make a difference today 🍉🍉

" I am Randa from Gaza, I am 21 years old, my family and I consist of 6 people, I was studying accounting at my university and my brother Zidane and I lost our university, and I was happy with my life until October 7, we moved to the south with difficulty, me and my family, walking on foot, it is impossible to forget this day, it is engraved in my memory, the bombing was over our heads and we were just people, we just wanted safety, and when we arrived in the south, unfortunately our life was very difficult, we lived the winter and summer in the south, the two seasons are more difficult than each other, in the winter we do not sleep from the bitter cold, and in the summer we do not sleep from the heat of the tents and the difficulty of transportation and obtaining water, no safety, no cleanliness, I lost my home, I lost my university, I lost my friends, I am very tired, I want help and to have a safe and clean life, please help me, my family and I are in danger, we want safety, I am tired of this life, bombing, destruction, starvation, high cost of living, I want a safe life, all of you are able to help me towards a better life and complete my educational path, please do not leave us alone, we love life, I want peace. "

That is a desperate plea from Randa ( @randasobh23 ), from Gaza. She is a human being just like you and I, who is tired and just wants saftey and peace, she loves life, and does not want to lose her only because she is Palestinian. Like any person would be, she is tired of living through genocide, she is tired of living through pain and seemingly endless suffering. She has no safe home to return to, to education or stable future to look forward to, and no certainty, the the occupation is violent and unpredictable.

Please, read this and see her as a human just like you, with complex thoughts, experiences and emotions - going through pain and suffering like no other. If you have the means to help her, please donate what you can. Any contribution will make a difference. You should donate to helo her regain stability and move on to a normal life - and help afford the basic needs of living in Gaza. Please - help her. In any way you can. Share, don't let her message go unheard.

3% OF GOAL RAISED. That is not enough for sustainable living in Gaza. Have some humanity and compassion.
