#CTRL+S that shit!
Note
You said something about the zlibrary and I have been saving all my books and articles on my google drive and I’m wondering is that a good option cause I didnt see on your post.
Google Drive is helpful but ultimately still owned by a mega corporation so your privacy isn't guaranteed. The best way to keep file backups is to vary your sources, don't keep everything on one single backup. Especially when it comes to cloud storage which is reliable on a company server that could go offline, get hacked, or seize your files.
The golden rule of backups is to work in threes: You should have three separate backups, so one through just direct access like your standard local harddrive (i.e. saved on your computer), one that's on an external device that can be hooked up to your PC in case the local drive fails (so a USB or external HDD), and one that's off-site so you can access it anywhere (or if the first two backups fail) like Google Drive or Dropbox.
This can apply to any files you want to keep safe and secure, especially files that are unique and can't be easily replicated (see: drawing files, important documents, digital media, etc.) It might sound overkill and a pain in the ass, but nothing's worse than losing a file forever because of HDD damage or server raids or whatever circumstances that are out of your control. Always be prepared!
Hope that helps! <3

Computer Cursive
Okay so, I've had an idea. Y'know how the reason why the world's writing systems look so different is often because they were developed for writing on different materials? Well, to my knowledge, there hasn't ever been a writing system developed from the ground up for handwriting on a computer using a mouse. Which is a shame, because other writing systems are so ill-suited to mouse handwriting.
The Latin alphabet was originally carved into stone. But then a cursive script came around so it could be written on paper more easily. Who's to say the same can't happen with mouse handwriting?
So I tried my hand at making my own "computer cursive." Since precision with a mouse is much harder than with a pen, chisel, or stylus, I tried removing as much fine detail from the letters as I could while keeping them distinct and recognizable. Specifically, producing strokes of precise shapes is especially hard, so I prioritized making the arrangement of strokes recognizable, no matter how the strokes themselves ended up looking. Also, since long continuous lines are less than conducive to digital error correction (ctrl+z would remove a whole word instead of just a single letter or less), and because the risk of making an error gets quite high after only a short while of continuous marking, the term "computer cursive" ended up being something of a misnomer. It was best to keep letters disconnected from each other, thus not fulfilling the definition of a cursive script. However, "computer cursive" makes for a convenient shorthand that's reflective of the thought process behind its creation, so I'm sticking with it.
Anyway, here's what I came up with:
So first of all, it looks cool as shit if I do say so myself, though that's probably just because of the calligraphy pen brush I used (and I recommend you do the same if you ever try using this). But in seriousness, I'm very happy with how easy it is to recognize most of the letters here, and the rest are easy to get used to.
Some usage notes:
the letter c should start going diagonally down and left, and gradually curve further downwards. it doesn't matter how far it ends up curving, as long as the curve is noticeable
the letter k needs its bottom-right stroke to be curved as seen in the image, or it'll look too much like an h
yes, the letter o is a triangle. deal with it
p and q are distinguished by the lengths of their rightmost strokes: p's is longer (roughly as tall as the other stroke) and q's is shorter
r and v are distinguished in the same way: r's is longer (taller than the other stroke by a noticeable margin) and v's is shorter (more symmetrical). also, r's stem should technically be vertical while v should technically be completely symmetrical, but that isn't a feasible distinction to reliably make in practice, so don't worry about it
the letter s should start going diagonally up and left, and gradually curve down and around to start going diagonally down and right. it doesn't matter how far it ends up curving, as long as it fits this description
the letter u should start going straight down, or down and slightly right, and gradually curve further right. it doesn't matter how far it ends up curving, as long as the curve is noticeable
In general, don't worry too much about it looking tidy—it's specifically meant to be serviceable despite inevitably looking sloppy from time to time.

yeah I'm that retribution guide op. it fried my brain so here are words
I guess I should reply to comments on the Retribution guide. Look, someone had to take one for the team and I got drive +1000% to do it. Yes I also have been excited and itching for the completed piece like a media consuming rabid dog. I needed this gotdamn guide enough to hunker down and type with fervor. At what cost though? Basically sat there staring, spamming ctrl+f "set" and intermittently sending concerning texts to people at 4am about how my brain was faring (like someone wheedled in and melted it). Code diving gothic: the more I unravel it the more I become like Sidestep. Worth.
Thanks for appreciating it. It just seemed a shame to use it just for me. (I especially love all the "holy shit!"s and "op you madlad/hero/whatever" guuuyyyss my self esteem. boosted!)

Finally! My small tribute to the Hazbin Cafe AU by @lilshroomboi
It took quite awhile since I drew and colored by hand. It didn't help that watercolor doesn't have Ctrl+Z command.
Anyway, Valentine is such a good song for the context of @lilshroomboi's comic, except for the fact the Husk said Angel looked like shit :))))

Bloodborne questions rattling in my head -
Why does the shaman bone blade have shaman in its name? That's such a specific, almost regional term. Just a translation quirk?
How seriously do you take cut content in studying lore? I just learned about the Great One Beast, and there's a hell of a lot going on in that name alone. A Great One that became a beast? A beast that became a great one? Maybe just a placeholder name since file names refer to it as a silverbeast? Or, as it never made it in, should it be essentially ignored entirely?
ok business as usual, pure speculation is in italics.
this first answer is going to suck so bad: i basically don't have a single clue. the japanese word they chose to translate as "shaman" (祭祀者) doesnt appear on jisho or literally anywhere else in the game. like i just did a ctrl-f on the re-translation text dumps and found nothing. they seem equally baffled but one of the two translators notes that it's used to describe people involved in ancestor worship. the full word is "祭祀者の骨の刃". so like literally "_____'s bone knife".
there's no surprise ambiguity in the description. it doesn't resemble anything else in the game. the green goo (not blood, notably) oozing from it is not seen elsewhere. that emerald green color is unique to the blade.
what the fuck! they are also extraordinarily rare: the only place you can find them are in the nightmare of mensis in the "nightmare apostles" (big spider) room, where you can pick up six from the corpse of a healing church doctor in front of a little vestibule containing nothing. the only remarkable thing about this room is that it once contained a cut version of the giant nightmare apostle with the head still on. this is interesting only because it suggests that they're not just giant spiders, they are giant HEADLESS spiders. the connection the player was supposed to draw, perhaps, is that the headless nightmare apostles seen throughout the game have already been harvested for their goods.
this is uninteresting because there's 7 headless spiders in the room, not 6. maybe one broke?
the only other places you can find them are in the pthumerian labyrinth root dungeons in, specifically, treasure coffins. only after obtaining the lower pthumeru chalice will the item be added to the insight shop, so whatever those shamans were doing, it was very secret and very ancient. they are a 5% drop from brainsuckers...except for the ones in the cathedral ward and the orphanage, which are 2%. hey i never noticed that before. so that's where those brainsuckers running around yharnam came from.
the creation of this item is apparently linked to augurs/phantasms.
the spider guys are their own. thing. i haven't even touched them yet because, segueing into your next question, so much surrounding them was cut. there's a bunch of stuff in the game, especially relating to byrgenwerth, about reflections and symmetry that kind of hangs in the air awkwardly unless you start poking around under the hood and start looking at how much spider-related shit there is. and like. isn't a spider an invertebrate. isn't "apostle" another word for "messenger". anyone else seeing this. aren't these things augurs?
not for nothing, but amygdala is referred to as the "lost apostle" in the alpha.
when it comes to cut content, i take a very liberal approach and inhale all of it into my brain where i can sort it and determine what bits are even useful. i think this kind of thing comes entirely down to personal taste; some people think the completed project in its retail form is what should be analyzed on the reasonable basis that it's the story we were intended to experience. i don't disagree with this approach; my approach is like if i wanted to read "pride and prejudice" and decided after reading it to analyze all of jane austen's letters and biographies. like it's absolutely not required to enjoy or understand the story and themes of bloodborne; it's just a good example of how much a reading of a text can differ depending on how you approach it.
i wish we knew why the great one beast was cut because it was basically finished outside the textures being low-res. people have hacked a working version into the game and it looks like a hell of a fight. and you're right, it raises a lot of questions about what the hell a great one is. prior to this it was assumed that beasts were the opposite of great ones. but...maybe beasts are ONLY intended be compared and contrasted with kin. and a kin is not a great one. very mysterious.

@the-circus-ctrl-key Jax and that whole AU is by @unfunnyaceartist ..
GummyBunny (s)/(bn)
(Aka @gummy-axolotl x Jax, ctrl-key ver)
Bc I said yesterday I’d do it ✨
Suggestive, plus all of gummy’s k1nks
——————
“Hey, Jax?” You wandered around, looking for Jax. You said you’d be coming over… where was that fluffy bastard?
You looked around the house some more, you heard… humming..?
You followed it and realized it was coming from a room, eh, it’s probably just Jax. You gently push the door open a bit, about to announce your arrival, as your eyes landed on him. It made your heart stop at the view you had.
Jax was changing just a bit away from you, he only had a shirt on, his boxers, and those fishnets that— god you almost forgot were there.. His little tail poking out as it seemed to wiggle just a bit, you couldn’t help but watch. Fffuck.. it didn’t help that he was already a flirty bastard who could literally code this world into looking or functioning differently because of his key, but fuck.. damnit he didn’t have to go flaunting that around..
Well, he isn’t flaunting it, now that you think about it, he’s in his room and your peaking—
“You know.” Jax stated, making you snap out of your internal dialogue, his eyes shifted and looked right at you, a smug smirk on his face, “I usually would make someone pay for this kind of service. The show ain’t free, gummy.”
You quickly moved away from the door, about to leave, “Hah- eh- nothin- I’m- bye-“ you stuttered, unable to get any clear words out. Before you were suddenly tugged back.
…You didn’t remember having something around your neck before-
“Mmh, nope, not letting you get away that easily, doll.” Jax said in that usual smug tone, tugging on what was around your neck gently.
You looked down. Oh… fuck. He made a chain appear. It was a fucking chain. Hehadyouonaleashohmygod-
You felt another tug, though this one wasn’t gentle, you pretty much fell over, maybe due to being too flustered at the sudden events, to be able to process shit.
“Looks like someone’s being a bit of a disobedient toy, eh~?” Jax purred, kneeling to your height on the ground, he twirled the chain in his hand, amused by your reaction.
Oh god this felt like a living fantasy right here, he was looking just over you had had you on a leash… that bitch knew it was one of your turn ons too.. it didn’t help that he was wearing pretty much nothing but boxers and those fishnets right now…
“I-I— uh… sorry…?” You apologized hesitantly, after pretty much dying internally, freaking out because of the situation. You had no clue what to say.. no clue.
Jax ‘frowned’, “Now now, that won’t do, now will it? Can’t let such a naughty toy go unpunished.” if you were in your right mind, you’d know damn well that he’s teasing you, that wasn’t a frown, he was just putting up that act… damn hot sadist.
Jax looked to the side, a teasing smirk making its way onto his face as he pulled you a bit closer, “But… knowing you, you’d be into that kind of shit. Kinky freak.”
Jax shrugged, “Than again, it makes my day to watch you squirm.” Jax wasn’t even bothered by the fact that you’d watched him change.. he was just taking any excuse to mess with you, not that you knew that.
You huffed and looked to the side, “Bastard-“
“Up-bup, eyes up here, dolly~” Jax tugged on the chain again.
“I’m not a pet, Jax-“ You tried to retort, despite your mind practically being a faint keyboard smash. You couldn’t believe you were holding it together this much.
Jax stood up, bringing you up with him, his free arm wrapping around your waist, “That’s right, you’re not a pet, you’re my toy.” Jax replied slyly
Jax leaned forward and purred in your ear, gently tugging the chain, since he knew what a kinky shit you are, “Either way, I bet you’d love if I treated you like that~ Like a wild animal… Heh…”
“Bet you’d love me to rail you like one.”
Okay now you couldn’t help yourself from coughing a bit in surprise, your face fully red. God damnit, the close position, the fucking chain, and being called that.. oh…. Oh hell he knew how to grind your gears…
“O-Oh lord-“
“Lord, hmm~? Can’t tell if you’re calling me your master or a god but..” Jax smirked smugly down at you, “Either way.. I can make pray on your knees, if that’s what ya got in mind~”
Holy shit, he didn’t have to do that. Talk about that kind of shit when he had you wrapped around him and on a leash.
“I-I— shxh-“ You could only make a flustered noise as he practically picked you up and walked over to his bed. “Jax-“
“Oh, my sweet toy…” Jax promptly pinned you down, you few it a chill go up your spine at the feeling, being stuck between him and the sheets, “When will you learn.. that I know all the dirty thoughts in your sick mind~”
Your body started to tremble softly as he leaned in, he whispered sensually in your ear, “All I need… is you to say yes, gummy…~”
“Mmph..” you tried to calm your shaky body and blushy face, you slowly nodded.
Jax tugged on the chain, “Didn’t hear that~” he teased, now knowing he had full permission, consent is hot, after all.
“P-Please..!”
Jax looked down at you, “You dirty little toy~” he teased at how you practically begged just now.
Fuck, you felt so embarrassed just now… at the same time you really just wanted him to play with you.
You could feel the bedsheets against your back as his chest pressed against yours— wait… you just had your shirt on- how the fuck did he take it off.
“How-“
“The key, doll. Now just relax, don’t worry… I’ll do it just like you like it, rough~”
…Damnit, he really had to tease you on how you liked it.
(Really suggestive/suggestive implications below)
You gasped as Jax bit into your shoulder, you could feel his teeth dig into your skin, “A-Ah..~” you couldn’t stifle the noise that passed through your lips.
Jax hummed contently, giving your chain a little tug, before moving and making more marks. Jax kissed roughly along the marks in your neck, “Heh.. you taste sweet, doll~” Jax purred, his free hand trailing down your side, “I just… can’t help but mark you as my own~”
“Y-Yeah I… can’t tell..~” You murmured as Jax continued sensually licking the sensitive marks. You gasped at the feeling, Jax saw this, as usual, he gave you that look, you knew it was his usual cocky look.
Jax chuckled, “Aww..~ You’re so sensitive.. I wonder how you’d feel if I…~” Jax teased, the hand that slid down your side, moved over to your crotch.
Your eyes went wide in surprise, too flustered to move or do anything but just stare at him. Fuck, he seemed to really want to make you squirm.
Jax gave your chain an occasional tug every now and again as he marked you up, his hand on your crotch was rubbing in a slight rhythm, you had to contain yourself from grinding up on him. He bit into that sensitive spot on your neck, “Jax..~!”
Jax paused for a moment, you went more red than before as you slowly looked at him, “…W-Why did you stop…?”
“…” Jax was quiet for a moment, before biting into that spot again, you didn’t have time to cover your mouth and letting out another noise.
Jax smirked and thought to himself, he found a weak spot, oh and you seemed to love it. “Let’s see how long you can hold those noises in for.”
You saw that look, oh he was scheming. Your body was trembling in both arousal and anticipation, “What d-do you mean by— AH~!”
Oh it would be a looooonnng night, gummy~

Probs short, but whatever 💃🕺

Under normal circumstances I would never rock up to the ask box but it feels like Smythe ghost wrote this
https://www.thecut.com/article/age-gap-relationships-marriage-younger-women-older-man.html
ok first of all, rock up to my ask box more often >:3
second of all, jesus CHRIST what am i READING-
I had to do some CTRL + P trickery to get around the pop-up window because no way am I giving this site my contact info LOL but yeah just- just read this shit y'all, what the fuuuuck-
as soon as i saw the word 'partners' in quotes like that i knew i was in for a treat /s
it's wild how they can be so close to the point of toxic masculinity and the conclusion they come to is "well clearly age gap relationships are superior and the women in same age relationships are just intellectually inferior to me"
ngl i know this is gonna come off just as misogynist as what i'm claiming this article to be (and let's please acknowledge that a lot of criticisms of female characters in media ARE rooted in misogyny), but the POV of the writer comes across like those insufferable indie movie love interests who try to sound deep over the most basic metaphors-
honey it's not your job to fix him no matter what age you are 😔
#i'm obviously the jaded 30 year old man in this story#but i'm also not solving that by dating borderline teenagers LOL ???#like damn that's a whole lot of words that could have been saved for his therapy session ngl#anon ama#ask me anything#ama#anon ask me anything

Funny heading to a blogpost on videogames that’s some sort of reference
Look, I already used the ctrl+alt+delete quote in a blogpost title.
It’s February 2024, and it’s already a very wild year for gaming. We’ve had more layoffs than with the entirety of 2023, games shown off at events seem to be stagnating, interest in the art is waning. Youtube is filled with “modern gaming sucks” doomer blackpill videos. It’s a miserable time.
Is gaming just over?
Well, no. Of course not. The Sonic franchise has lingered for decades despite consistent failure. Games are more resilient than that.
Humanity’s relation to computing is still pretty fresh, and I’d say that despite the size and scale of a lot of it, we’re still going through major growing pains. Concepts like video games, the internet and special effects are still pretty new, despite being around for twice or thrice as long as most of the people reading this have been alive. Internal combustion engine -powered cars were invented in 1808, made mass produced in the 1910s, and even then it took until the 1950s for them to be common enough for the US government to bother designing cities around them. In the present day, many have come to resent the car-centric design mentality, even though the driving (no pun intended) factor behind them was mainly the same as with technology today: scientific and technological progression is unquestionably good, and therefore new and successful ideas should be pushed and relied upon as hard as possible. What could possibly go wrong?!
Video games are far from the only medium which is seeing similar problems. Movies have suffered greatly from a capeshit infestation, in which the abuse of VFX artists is valued over, you know, basics of good filmmaking, and the general public is clearly sick of it. On the internet, we’ve decided that megastructures like Twitter are better than forms of communication we’re good at, and it’s gone horribly wrong. We’re still learning the “do”s, “don’t”s and “who the fuck thought this was a good idea”s of tech.
Games as an artform are as alive as they ever were, but the sheer scale of the operations has grown to a point where nobody can really understand it. The numbers behind playerbases and the money traffic have so many zeroes that you can’t even fathom the number. Even if I used some metaphorical figure, like 20 000 cars. Shockingly, despite how console sales haven’t really increased in numbers (the top selling console of all time is still the PS2), most of the top-grossing games of all time are relatively recent. This implies that the behaviour of consumers has shifted from purchasing a variety of different kinds of games into purchasing fewer games of fewer different kinds. And I don’t think it’s a case of customers deciding to shift over naturally.
In the past decade or so, the gaming industry has decided sensible experiences are a way of the past, and the future is making games for debt and making back the money with horse armour and other garbage the general public doesn’t really want.
But we’ve seen this shit before. In the 90s, 3D was “the future”, and 2D pixel art or hand-drawn art in general seemed to go the way of the dodo for polygons and ““realism””. About a decade later, 2D art would see a resurgence and in some cases overtake the big lads in lasting impact. In the end, people crave personal stories, varying ideas, and interesting ways to tell them. Not much has changed since ancient Greeks, besides that the medium of storytelling has largely shifted from some guy standing on a stage, trying to explain another world, to electronic devices actually showing us the other worlds.
I think as we play out the Icarus stories in real time, we’ll also learn when boundaries are pushed too far, and the scale of the bullshit simply collapses in on itself. When that happens, the public is forced to step back and reevaluate the ways we thought were the future, and what really is better for all of us.
When a storm flattens a forest of dead, decrepit trees, the sun and rain can now reach the ground and cultivate a new generation of different plant life. Once hidden beneath the dead corpses, now able to grow and bloom in a way the old generation never could. You should just keep doing what you think is right. Now’s the time more than ever to be the backbone of a better industry, for many applications of tech, from games to communication. And it’s better, if the backbone comes from the grassroots, and isn’t defined by the megacorporations. Because those cunts will never learn from their failures.

Hi there! I saw the screen recording you did for the Aemond gifset (superb work, by the way) and I was wondering if you would be open into doing a step-by-step tutorial on how you played with the colors (what was the graph on the right side of the window?) and how you manipulated the color palette when saving the gifs? No pressure! Was just curious :) Thank you!
Hi there, nonny! Step by step below the cut here.
I don't keep the psd files of my gifs, mostly because I don't have the storage space to do that, so I've made a different gifset of the same scene, so it should be much the same, if not better.
I believe this:
is the graph you were asking about? This is the histogram. I don't believe it has any practical usage in gifmaking. If any other gifmaker here has a different opinion, please share it. (I'm doing a photography degree, photoshop is my next unit so I'll know more about it soon)
Right, step by step. Hold your horses, this is long:
Step 1: get the clip. Some gifmakers use screen caps to make gifs. I do not know how to make them or how to use them and I find my own method works. If another gifmaker could add on how you make your screen caps, and if it is better than my own method, please add it. 😊
Where you get the clip from is a question. YouTube, somewhere else... as long as it's saved as a MP4 file on you computer/laptop, it doesn't matter. What does matter is the quality of your clips. A lot of people use 4K (super high quality) clips. I find those to be slow and arduous and may have been responsible for the fall of my old, decrepit laptop. HD or UHD are likely enough for some decent quality.
Step 2: Get the clip in the software (I use Adobe Photoshop. For some softwares, you might have to clip the clip i.e. make it shorter before just dumping it in) In Photoshop go to File > Import > Video Frames to Layers and a window will come up. Move the sliders until you have approximately what you want (don't worry about being exact. Just as long as you have what you need.) (Don't forget to click Limit to every 2 frames)
Step 3: Once the clip has opened and your ready to start, crop out any black/white edges. Then cut out the frames you don't want
Step 4: We are now ready to begin editing!! 🥳🥳🥳 Editing tends to just be a huge pile of trial and error. I have an order to things, but I often have to go back and adjust my first layers later.
I like to start with the Brightness/Contrast, for obvious reasons (I like to SEE what I'm doing *cough cough* HBO *cough cough*
The I adjust the Hue/Saturation, where I reduce the saturation of each individual colour. That reduction tends to be useful when I make further adjustments in effort to 'fix' as much of the shit colour grading as I can.
The next step is a combination of a Photo Filter (set to the default warming filter) and a Vibrance adjustment layer.
Next the where most of the magic happens. The Colour Balance allows me to adjust the colours in the shadows, midtones and highlights. The aim of this is to attempt to restore some colour. It can look a little weird when editing.
Finally is the Levels. This is a final brightness edit where I add most of my contrast.
Video featuring both sets here. Pause as needed to see the adjustments
Then, change the frame delay to 0.1, or whatever suits your fancy, but 0.1 is the most natural. Then, Click the button in the bottom left corner of the timeline which Converts to Video Timeline, then select all the layers, right click and Convert for Smart Filters.
After this is sharpening, cropping and then exporting. Either File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy) or Alt + Shift + Ctrl + S
Here I change the size. (Usually adjust the height to 540px. Width depends on how I've cropped it. I my source clip excluding black edges was in the ratio 16:9, 540px is usually half that)
If you are uploading gifs to Tumblr, keep an eye of the file size. Tumblr doesn't allow for file sizes about 10MB, although for me it's always been more like 9.5MB. If that number is too high and you have made the gif as short as possible (no more the 50 frames if possible) and you have reduced the size (my limit tends to be about 480px height dependant on my crop ratio), then you change the number of the colours from 256 to NO LESS THAN 200. (lower than this may considerably reduce your quality)
Then you press Undo or Ctrl + Z a few times until you have all of your frames again and then repeat.
And all that can take half an hour or more. Hope this answers the question as well.
