i like that i gave my bot the ability to post random buffstuff images as a joke and it's somehow become the second most used feature

creating a new debian-based linux distro and calling it transbian

i'm writing tests! im doingg it! im doing web dev babey!!!

like. its reliant on node, and i want to bundle it up so i can have 2 other things im working on use it, so i feel like from that alone i feel like it should be a node package, but also i don't want to put it on npm because it's probably useless to anyone but me specifically, but i can install packages from my own machine,

*sound of gears grinding and creaking against each other inside my head*

debating over whether the module i'm working on should be formatted as a node package or not, turning my brain into awful sludge,

the code's still a total shit mess but i got impatient and hacked it into my bot anyway

gonna clean this up into an actual module later cos the code is a complete shit mess

nvm im running an async function in the loop so i guess that's why This Shit is happening

time to learn how this new promise shit works i guess

Show thread

for loops anyway, i thought it was just forEach but im getting the same behaviour from a standard for loop

this shits wild

Show thread

very quickly learning that all loops become async when running under node

or at least it seems that way

after wrestling with imagemagick for a couple hours i got it to stick 2 gifs together

now i need to make it do this via javascript,

i might make dancing gifs for punctuation in the same style at some point but probably not unless someone paid me to do it

Show thread

making the frontend look nicer while i stall off making the backend for compiling the images into a single gif
