Full of Overwhelm how do you clean your room when it's full of overwhelm?

And, for bonus points, a month earlier.

in all caps, "severely, softly" with softly broken to a new line. there is a dark-grey rectangle covering the bottom 80% of the image that "softly" is drawn over. "severely" has a drop shadow in that same grey.

opened an old project and saw i named it "severely softly". a flash of memory came back and i dug through my home directory and found the logo i made for it.

do you want it? here it is.

I really liked the "What did I learn about Rust?" in Alex's writing here. I'm not exactly sure why; I've been trying to articulate why for a few minutes and've come up short.

The used Sony a7s ii i bought from ebay came with seven batteries, two chargers, and a SmallRig cage, so that's pretty cool. It was on the cheaper end of the price range, too! The hot shoe has some corrosion, I'm not sure it works, but who needs one of those, anyway.

do you ever try to delete dozens and dozens of emails all at once, but instead open them all and then Thunderbird gets really slow?

yeah.

this would be funnier if there was unhinged float stuff in the block. i don't remember why this is, i think it's a container so i can float stuff inside it in wacky ways, but'm not entirely sure.

we near closer to monitor-on-my-wall-streaming-endless-text.

i want to give it a little area where people can write text or display images, too, random people, from the internet. risky, but sounds delightfully fun as well.

much left to do~

The wording of "Accept it now." is very funny. I know it's to mean "Click here to accept", probably, but it reads /so much/ as a command.

(and because i don't want to learn how to Direct Rendering Manager, and because the framebuffer just looks cute, i went with that! mmaping it to memory is apparently very common and it seemed like a good idea)

writing a probably pretty-bad display (?) protocol. (genny11/gennyland :3)

i'm sticking a raspberry pi and a screen to a wall so i can display things on it, and since i don't really need it to necessarily update real fast or work real good I figured it'd be a good excuse to have a play.

you draw by swirling thumbsticks on a game controller. just like the real thing :). it works really well, actually, and i'm pretty proud of that.

coming soon:
- keyboard input where you gallop on some keys to move the stylus
- save images as gif and 2bpp png

macOS window titled "that really etches my sketch". it's a dull, pale green with a line drawing of five boxes gently cascading downwards. it's like if you riffled some papers.

> Hey there, just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration with alt text. I lost a family pet, and writing alt text for some of my favorite pictures of him was extremely cathartic and helped me get through the rest of the day.
