@gifsbot there does seem to be a known issue with mastodon which can cause what i saw. but honestly it could equally be a bug in my code. who knows. not me because i'm not logging anything 
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21864
@gifsbot still not really sure what happened but i've switched it to 2x scaling the images instead of 4x in case it was choking on the size, hopefully that helps
(the 4x scaling was done to try and preserve quality on bluesky which has a particularly shitty way of handling images but wasn't necessary for mastodon nor twitter, so i've now made it only scale to 4x for bluesky specifically and reverted to 2x for the others)
hmm @gifsbot just posted a post with text but no image... i wondered if the image might've been too big so i reposted it manually and it worked fine (https://botsin.space/@gifsbot/112877129776659816)
also it's set up to abandon the entire post if the image upload fails... and yet it still posted the text... so does that mean the upload succeeded but it failed to attach to the post? can that happen?
i need to keep an eye on this bastard

Alright!
This is the last question!
You won't get this one!
Think hard! Quack!
the last one of my surviving twitter bots is up on here now:
@choro_qbooks
this one posts random quotes from the PS2 classic Road Trip Adventure
gifs galore bot is now active on the fediverse!! wow!!! @gifsbot
i'm still planning to also get my gifs galore bot on here at some point so this is a step in that direction with a simpler text-only bot
i've already got image posting working but i still don't currently have any mechanism for tagging the ones that have tits in them
my nes rom name generator bot is now available on the fediverse!! wow @nesrom_ebooks
What is your favorite portable gaming console? Minus anything made by Nintendo. — Probably the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Relatively small library but all bangers https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/112859288383782813

Haven't heard much from you lately, how's life in the big city? — i don't know my life is the same as it's been for a while. it's boring and stagnant and i don't feel able to do anything about it. sorry i suppose this was a depressing answer wasn't it https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/112855230612733802
i decided to do one of these question things again https://retrospring.net/@taizou

One writer's experience with AI summarizers: "ChatGPT isn’t summarising at all, it only looks like it. What it does is something else and that something else only becomes summarising in very specific circumstances." (Depending on the text, the training sets, and parameters, the writer notes it condensing the text without regard to its most salient points, recycling others' summaries of the same or similar texts, or fabricating details when asked for more information.) https://ea.rna.nl/2024/05/27/when-chatgpt-summarises-it-actually-does-nothing-of-the-kind/

Sorry, I originally posted the Dreamcast version of Lion Fighters: Overdrive that was panned by critics. This is the emulated 1996 US Arcade version. The biggest downside was that it was full of advertisements and was super unbalanced, but it really was the best version.
