Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

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

LOUD NOSTALGIC EXCITEMENT

....i'm gonna tag this uhhhhhh #petztalk there we go. now innocent people can filter

YEEEEEEEAHHH I GOT PETZ 5 WORKING

i was flummoxed with it giving me a "weh your resolution is too small" error because Bih I Run 1300Somefuck x Somefuck That's Big Enough For Your 2002 Ass

but

it turned out it was mad i had it set at 125% display lol bc. my eyes not that good

BUT NOW IT WORK

it's only a matter of time until i start making up some extravagant cattery name, and then show names

and then hold the first mastodon invitational petz show

well boo and hiss, the download from carolyn's is corrupted

....but i found another

petz is still Gonna Happen

once i get catz 5 running i'm gonna try and remember how breeding works in there

my First Prize Show Catz that got lost in... somewhere via various computer failures was a russian blue x maine coon cross with the maine coon brindle texture over the blue.... and i'm gonna try to recreate that :3

i'm so glad these poirot episodes have decent subtitles because an aggravating number just have like. poirot says something. "[French]"

YEAH DUMBSHIT I KNOW, BUT FUCKIN WHAT

well i WAS gonna goof around in catz 5 but apparently google chrome's built-in viruscheck is very suspicious about .iso bits in .rars which is understandable but also Please Release My Files From The Wiggler, Chrome

i COULD do something productive like write or transfer things over from tumblr to pillowfort ffxiv blog or organize things or work towards some goals in ffxiv or grind out some ranks in warframe, while i watch poirot

but i ain't gonna

way too many white cishet gay dudes think "but i'm gay" is a get out of jail free card for whatever bad behavior they might want to examine and correct and stop inflicting on others lol

I'M SO GLAD SHE CALLED OUT JAMES CHARLES FOR BEING A CREEPY FUCK

gay dudes sexually harassing straight dudes is not a funny joke!!!! it's not a good plan to "turn someone" into the sexuality you prefer or to "break them" into however you want!!!!

it's fucked up when het men threaten lesbians with this, it's also fucked when gay men threaten straight men with this

also me, a knave, a fool, and a hypocrite: YOOOOOOOO TATI'S PUT OUT A VIDEO DETAILING HOW HER RELATIONSHIP WITH JAMES CHARLES WENT TOXIC 👀 👀 👀 ❗ OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY 🍿 🍿 🍿

MORE EXTREMELY GOOD GREEN FRIENDS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:

volvox!

they bounce and roll around and are full of multitudes and it's great

i think they are very pretty

i have decided........... it is green anole posting time

WHY GREEN ANOLES ARE GOOD:

- very fast lizard friends!!!!!

- can turn from brown to green and are sometimes called the american chameleon for this! brown usually means they are sluggish/tired/cold, green is ready to bounce around

- down to fight and/or seduce you a large percentage of the time with dewlap

- unparalleled at giving unimpressed side-eye to keep your hubris in check
