Nova Storm @NovaSquirrel@computerfairi.es

Very very early stages of me designing a SNES mouse character and figuring out what I want. I have a lot to learn and I need to pick out a name (my usual strategy of using a pun isn't working too well) but it's a nice start.

Show me cute mouse girls, I wanna try to pull together a bunch of inspiration to try and finally get around to designing the SNES mouse character I want to make even if I don't have a name picked out :p

I briefly considered trying to experiment and see if putting chocolate milk into an ice cube tray could be a good idea (because juice seems like it has good results, at least) but then I remembered this

So I'm practicing art using the most obvious subject: me.

Paper+pencil feels way more intuitive than vectors, and I think I'll just drop attempting to learn to do vector art for as long as I'd be trying to do it without a stylus.

I wasn't actually directly told that the people I live with left to go out of state, but the cat acting very visibly lonely and wanting my attention more than usual is a pretty big hint

Guess I should get paper and pencils and start doodling things

Okay I got rejected by Kroger too. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do and it feels like no one wants me and I'm going to get stuck with some job that I hate because literally no one else will hire me. I feel like I completely wasted four years of my life going to college.

Aaaaa I finally got to have Papa Johns again! And I only paid $1.07 due to a mix of specials, upselling, and cashing in rewards. This is a big morale booster.

Life has been better after I realized I can wiggle my way out of my laptop completely locking up by unplugging HDMI and plugging it back in

One thing I really appreciate forums for, over social media or chats, is that you can post at a weird time of day, and your thing *will* still get seen

I wonder how hard it would be to play multiple Tycoon games at once without pausing any of them. Probably super easy since a lot of the gameplay seems to be just waiting until you can afford something.

I'm a cooler platformer hero than Bubsy

If I can get someone to pick up carryout for me I think it's pizza day tomorrow! I miss Papa Johns and I really want it again.

I really like Braixen's color scheme in the context of a toy transformation thing since you've simultaneously got that classic black shiny latex look as well as bright yellows and reds, and you don't have the hard (for me) choice of one or the other because they're both there.

Is there some sort of hidden way to open all content warnings when someone links you a thread, and you view it outside the timeline? I've given up on long threads before because I didn't want to keep clicking on the content warning button dozens of times to read everything.

For stuff actually on the timeline you can just click on the eye but it doesn't seem to be there on a direct link to a toot.

Well I found out the position I applied to got filled and no one bothered to tell me. It's really feeling like I don't have a chance anywhere because I don't have any experience and the only reason anyone will go with me is if they're desperate for employees, in which case there might be a reason no one wants to work there. This sort of thing really sucks the energy out of just continuing to try this but I know I have to.

Okay so my dad actually deliberately made sure to get some food for me for the freezer so that's much better. I couldn't think of much but I'll have some meat and pizzas.

Alternatively I wish I got more help at learning how to do things and getting more involved instead of just being told that the only way to do things is just to figure things out entirely on my own.
