hey i hit a nice milestone number of new messages :)

HECK YA............. #petztalk

i wish it hadn't been copyright struck off youtube but https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5tvmeu is really just... gorgeous

if you play #ffxiv and haven't watched "find your dance, eorzea", take a couple minutes and do so

if you're interested at all in video editing, music videos, and the fun videos people put together using video games as their 'stage', check it out, it's just really lovely

also there's cute dragon-ey girl, so

concept: "multi-track drifting" meme but instead it's "multi-cat petting"

EEEEEEEEXCELLENT #petztalk

anyway time to figure out show names

then i can remember how to get proper 'show pictures' of catz lmao

but here is Digital Nepenthe Cattery's first two of the set

"DNC Ill Met By Moonlight" aka Titania, and "DNC Unseelie Regent" aka Oberon.

how old is this game?

the only picture format it recognizes as existing is .bmp.........

anyway Commence Kittens Happening! and the best part of stupid online virtual cats and dogs - making up hilariously overwrought show names.

say hello (while they make lovey eyes at each other) to Oberon and Titania #petztalk

and of course, one of the most important beautiful sayings of that wonderful region known as moonbase alpha

SNAKE?

SNAAAAAAAAAAKE?

sake.

the fedi timeline is part moonbase alpha tonight and it's beautiful

listen, my friends, to the mating calls of the fediverse... AEIOU AEIOU JOHN MADDEN JOHN MADDEN

was the scene editor in petz4 or only petz5? maybe yes? either way i totally fekin forgot about it until now l m a o #petztalk

FANTASTIC, it works!!

set time -> click regular run after run as administrator giving it permission -> date is whatever you like

https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/run_as_date.html needs 32x not 64x! must remember, it goes via per the software, not per what you actually got. so, petz5 wants the regular-ass version. ....i'm writing this down mostly for later lmao #petztalk

me: wow what a delicious dinner i am enjoying eating

my shoulder: LOL FUCK THAT TIME TO HURT

@maple nah i think it's just about the same shit. there's now day-night cycles ooh aah and some additional vanilla breeds and i think that's it

now, i may not have a CS degree, or know any programming language, or know what FOSS stands for, but i do think that i am showing that, at heart, i belong here in this tribe, as i am looking at a tool someone programmed to solve this problem, examining it, and cheerfully declaring

"but what if i built a rickety card tower of apps and compatibility modes instead? for fun?"

"harp why not use the utility that lets you tinker with that directly, the PetzA addon from Sherlock Software?"

because that's cheating

"but a separate program to spoof the system date/time and manipulating that.... isn't???"

Yes. #petztalk

i was going to do the smart thing and set my time back so i could adopt petz and have them grow up cheatily but apparently there's now layers of internet safety that when i tried i got a heaping pile of SET YOUR TIME, DUMBASS and all net connections refused 6u9 Whoops

so i guess that i will...... ..........just wait

....

or i will try this charmingly rough and tumble bare-bones-engineering looking solution!!!!! https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/run_as_date.html #petztalk

OKAY THERE MAY STILL BE ERRORS LOL, it's quite mad at the resolution a bit

fortunately it's a known problem http://petzforum.proboards.com/thread/48692 and if you bump the resolution down a bit overall petz get their faces back. i didn't have to go down to smallest, this is 12something x 768 where the game has given catz back their faces #petztalk

@InspectorCaracal yep!! no computer exploding, no antivirus complaints.
