ive gotten 500 wishlists already and that makes me so happy its the number i was praying for before hitting publish on the page!!
i really appreciate all teh sharing of my art posts and word of mouth regarding this steam wishlist thing
also one thing i was considering if htis malmaid release actually does result in more eyes on my game isntead of just getting buried in steam i will be interested in doing some remakes of for example hopeless junction and put it on steam too!
imagine hopeless junction with my recent art style and scripting..... also post credits chandra cuppy dog plushie humping scene. of course.
Having loud thoughts again, but you know what would be an absolutely baller idea for tumblr's layout? Everything being a full widget system, especially on the dashboard.
I'm just using this as an example, but the old UI for deviantart, dated as it is now by website standards visually, worked off a widget like system where you had so much control over how your profile page was displayed. Certain elements/boxes could be dragged and placed on your page and then adjusted via preset options or through a bit of light coding shenanigans.
Imagine that, but with the tumblr dashboard. Instead of being stuck in just one format, you could drag your navigation bar to the left or right or if you don't like that you could pull it up top instead. Or you could have a widget on the side bar like xkit does for tag tracking, or trending tags or just not have any of that on the dashboard. Or how about a widget purely to keep track of recent mutuals that will take you directly to a full list in one click or a widget listing your current que ect ect. All of these being movable pieces yeah? The main point being the ability for a user to rearrange their dashboard to their liking for the best personal navigation with the least amount of clicks.
I think the idea of drag and dropping UI elements is taken for granted on most current social media sites even though it's extremely intuitive once you understand it's a feature that exists and how clunky things feel when you don't have it or it's taken away. There's personal website builders that already use widgets pretty frequently, so why not extend that to bigger websites that rely on plenty of consistent user navigation daily? Like imagine updates that could be about adding in highly requested new widgets or adjusting functionality of current widgets to perform better based on user feedback.
I am not a coder so I don't know how difficult it would be to implement a robust widget system for a large scale social media website, but it's been on my mind for years now with trying out all kinds of beta art sites before. I really think something like that would be worth the investment for a place like tumblr and potentially cut down on a lot of discontent over layout changes.
An animated weather widget for Android in pixel art style 👾💜
Now available for Android 12 and up:
https://moertel.app/weather
Pick from different layouts, icon themes and text presets. You can even customise the text yourself with variable placeholders - all with the lovely Retro Mode font.
Or maybe something more minimalistic?
New features and themes are added frequently, and I'm looking forward to feedback and suggestions for the app. :) (Stay tuned for forecasts and animated mini-scenes coming soon!)
No one would mind if I started posting about Neocities website building right? Anyway here are some pixelated cursors I recreated (feel free to use them, they’re already sized correctly) and some website themes I’m working on! I’m hoping to make them available for people to put on their own sites at some point.
[ID: Three images of pixelated cursors and two images of website pages in mobile view. The first website page is styled to look similar to a Windows XP desktop. The second is custom and shows an art gallery of Psychonauts fanart. /End ID]
I know since Stranger things season 3 came out Running up that Hill will forever be tied to it in the eyes of the public (/neu), but my god the lyrics are Jayvik post MH. Vibe wise I think Placebo’s cover fits better than Kate Bush’s original.
Hnnnnnnn they are, and the perspective even switches back and forth between verses.
Viktor (MH):
It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making?
Jayce:
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
Be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building
If I only could
Both:
You don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware that I'm tearin' you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts, baby
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh, tell me we both matter, don't we?
Ooooof it's so beautifully tragic for Divorce Era. And Placebo's cover has haunted me for fourteen years. I know I was first exposed to it on some long-since cancelled TV show, but it forever altered my brain chemistry, and has been on pretty much every blorbo playlist since.
