i feel so out of place here

now it has a crappy palmtree and against my better judgement i put it on the bbs https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=30532 https://computerfairi.es/media/zAsM_QYgpjEQQ4mNswA

i made it a little better
here's the cartridge because i don't have anywhere better to upload it https://pastebin.com/FizWZEf6

nvm mastodon recompresses the png because of course it does

mastodon file upload needs to be a thing

C:\Users\Erin\AppData\Roaming\pico-8\carts of course

because i love remembering to check appdata

it saved sun.p8 in / but windows doesn't have an / so i have no idea where that is

ok @codl helped me realize i can use a loop and clip to pretend pico8 has scanlines and i made this https://computerfairi.es/media/WtiU5T1cEXdL_UH1cdA

i've already made too many mistakes to keep making more

if i ever think about making something again please whack me on the head with a rolled up newspaper or spray me with water to discourage me from it

i'm so incompetent i'm too incompetent to come to terms with the fact i'm incompetent 😂

i almost certainly have a learning disability

god everything feels so frustrating today

i wish i could come up with stories just like that but i have no creativity

pico8 is so interesting but i can't bring myself to do anything in it

don't be this person. i don't like non-sequiturs. i can't tell when your nonsense is a joke. my brain doesn't deal well with nonsense. i get irrationally upset at things i don't understand. people think they're just kidding but i can't deal well with this. don't do that to me.

someone: "so i just hear <thing that did not happen> happened"
me: "what? no"
someone: "yeah look <links to news article unrelated to the previous statement>"
me: "that's not what that says, it's <explains the thing>"
me: "<links to a source>"
someone: "yeah but i mean could you imagine if <other, unrelated thing>"
me: "but that's not what it says. did you read it"
someone: "i was just casually joking you don't need to be right all the time ugh forget it"

gettin' roped into federation takes this early in the m--

*looks at clock, it's 5pm*

oh

basically deflemask's ux all comes across as very arrogant to me and i hate that i have no better option for pcengine music creation

i also hate how you can't set it to have a buffer of less than 512 (no unit mentioned) which still has latency in it and if you miss the options menu a bit too much to the right you hit the about button which wiggles a bitcoin donation qr code in your face until you can move your mouse to the tiny button on the middle of the screen to close it

i'm so glad deflemask has a hidden undocumented skip_intro feature in the config because i hate that stupid intro and software should not have intros with sound
