#sherlock#it might be the cough medicine but I'm really feeling the bbc sherlock wedding episode today#a good feeling ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡#like finding an old block of cheese in the back of the fridge you forgot about and its gotten super hard and chewy#i currently have half a block of gouda curating in the vegetable cupboard#waiting#how are you doing friends!! C:#I'm good! I still have the cough but I also got a new scarf#I'm still thinking about buying window colors as well but I am waiting if that is also just because of the cough medicine#I can't believe it's already been a year since I have moved! last year I was doing everything here for the first time#and now everything is happening for a second time! that year was both very long and also happened very fast#our floor in the “office” my father wanted to install still is not completly done but he threw up last time he tried#he did not threw up because of the floor but because every time he does a home renovation project he drinks 3 liters of Cherry Coca Cola#we are trying to not make him drink 3 liters of Cherry Coca Cola but he doesn't want anyone else to finish the floor I think so we just do#not mention the hole in the floor#have a nice autumn day friends!! I hope you're doing well! ( ´͈ ◡ `͈ )#♥

Man, I'd love to find a way to actually insert artwork of myself as the installation wizard into Windows 95's wizard system. That'd be cool, but for now this mock-up artwork will suffice.

Do/for you have to make references for any other characters in Handplates? Like the mouse or pterofractal? The same goes for the characters that have canon designs in Undertale. Did you ever need a ref for them?
Honestly I like never make reference sheets until something forces me, haha. With the mouse I just go back to the first comic he appeared in and just ref off of those. I might have mentioned this before, I forget, but originally that mouse was supposed to be the mole in the MTT comedy club but then I looked up their speech pattern and it didn't fit, so instead I made them a Rathbone cameo from The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain. :B
I had to improvise his lower body so I just gave him big wading pants lol.
As for Pterofractal, Jaz gave me this!
I do have a folder for canon refs, mostly screenshots I've taken to get colors and layouts for certain areas in the Underground, haha. And some sprite sheets if I need them.
Nothing really official or purposeful though, just screencaps and snips from other files I end up reusing.
#asks and answers#novafloofeatsbirds#undertale#handplates#this is unrelated but you would not BELIEVE what i went through to get that cap of rathbone#first i couldn't find my disk for lost mind of dr brain#then i couldn't get it to install on windows 10#so i had to get pcem and set up windows 3.1 on a virtual machine which was its own whole thing#THEN i had to set it to a graphics driver that had 256 colors which was ANOTHER different thing#and i FINALLY got it working and the sound stutters lol#well i got my own personal shot that's what matters#and maybe this emulated machine will come in handy sometime who knows

so I'm convinced - like, I can't prove it, but I'm convinced this is the case - that whenever I go too long without updating my computer, windows forces a crash on me so it can go "whoopsie daisy! :) since you're already fucked, might as well make you sit here for ten minutes while we install all those updates you said you didn't want! :) won't that be nice?"
like. I had an SSD bricked once by a windows update, so now I push them off for a while, because I know that microsoft pushes glitchy updates. I'm onto them, and I don't want to be their guinea pig.
but! it doesn't matter what my settings are, or for how long I tell windows update to shut up! because eventually, I'll get a bluescreen or a crash or something, and be forced to restart, and when I do windows very cheerfully shoves updates at me without my consent
I think this is intentional. and I fucking hate it.
anyway, this is my conspiracy theory, and my theory is that microsoft sucks
#personal#sbs rambles#microsoft#windows 10#I don't actually know if this is true#but I feel in my soul that it is#my computer will be 100% fine and then suddenly nothing will work#and I'll do a restart instead of shutting it down#and it seizes that opportunity and installs shit against my will#>:(

do you truly own your computer, if the only system you can ever have on it is the one the manufacturer chose?
do you truly own your computer, this wonderful, universal machine, if its ability to do whatever you desire has been hamstrung by its creator?
do you truly own your computer if anyone else can restrict your freedom of choice in any way, ever?
do you own your macbook? your windows machine? can you truly make them yours, when you cant even change what they look like?
sure, it gives you a paltry few dials and knobs, lets you change the text a lil, use some different colors.
but what if the way your system lets you use it is just fundamentally foreign and awkward to you? what then? what good is a fresh coat of paint when all the cogs are one size too small, but put in place as if they were one size too big?
and yet, so many people are just ...fine with it. they don't mind having to drag the mouse all the way across the fucking screen to switch to a different window (yes, alt-tab exists, but your mouse doesn't follow). they don't mind having to alt-tab through more than 2 windows, missing the window they meant to go to, and having to cycle all the way through again.
it makes me a bit sad.
i think the problem is that nobody ever tells them it gets better than that. they think it's fine because it's all they've ever known, and well, surely millions and billions of people can't be wrong... right??
the other problem is that the systems they know don't let them do it better. using Windows? you must use the Windows way. using Mac? it's the Mac way for you. in either case, not truly your way.
but oh, wouldn't that be wonderful, a system that defines itself by just letting you have fun and be yourself. that doen't try to prescribe a way to do things. that lets you choose your own way. where you can truly do whatever the fuck you want, however the fuck you want. that lets you just own the device in your hands.
where you aren't stuck with whatever you're given. where you don't even have to use what you're given at all. where you as the user are truly respected as the owner of your system.
#official linux propaganda post#linux#windows#macos#windows would be so fucking dead if market share was anything approaching equal#macos survives only by merit of being Not Windows#reject big tech hegemony#install a linux of *your* choice today!

back in the Superwholock days there was this post getting passed around my corner of tumblr about "teflon writing vs velcro writing," ostensibly as a nutshell summary of why fandom reacted so differently to Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies as Doctor Who showrunners: slick and polished and easier to admire (when done well) or coolly assess its flaws (when botched) than to get a grip on or pull apart & tinker with, vs. messy and prickly and grippy and tinkering-friendly and prone to getting its hooks in you whether or not you ever wanted that
and that's very funny to look back on with the distance of hindsight, because to this day--a full decade after peak Superwholock--RTD-era Who and Kripke-era SPN remain THE most insane, crazymaking, irreversible-brain-damage-inducing, "compelling in the way where they make me INCREDIBLY ANGRY and ITCHY TO FIX THEM because i am so stupid-invested that they still have me by the balls, even when my engagement is just picking apart the frustrations of how and why they SUCK" turbo-examples of velcro writing i have ever encountered in my LIFE
hell, they aren't even so much like velcro as they're like snagging the folds of a lace circle skirt on a whole branch of actual cockleburs and trying to wash the shrapnel out with fucking gorilla glue
.....and then there's BBC Sherlock. which was neither velcro writing nor teflon writing but an elaborate many-year con, targeted at the EXACT kinds of people who maintain a secret good Supernatural that lives in their heads, whose one neat trick was to bait its marks into collectively hallucinating a brilliant show so that Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss never had to put themselves to the trouble of writing one.
#computer tinkerers hear me out: if spn is microsoft windows and doctor who is various *nix distros and moffat-era who is macOS#then bbc sherlock is a fucking chromebook that reply guys SWEAR you can do full-stack software development and advanced image editing on#....if you root it and use some horrible 3rd party script to bolt a linux distro on top of chromeOS and physically install 32gb extra RAM#and even then the filesystem access is all screwy and *you're still doing your image editing in the GIMP*#fandom#superwholock#meta

I was very very good and didn't bite the contractor guy that came into my house today even though I wanted to very much
#It's been months of fucking around#Just to install some stupid window insulation the landlord is doing#(bc of new renting laws I think)#He's routinely hours late#And has come with the wrong size of insulation panel like THREE TIMES#how the fuck does this keep happening

Begging Tumblr users to finally discover Linux
Everyone keeps complaining about Google and advising to use Firefox etc while still using OS produced by Microsoft which is just like Google maybe worse. Linux is literally free and out there, there are so many different distributions produced in different countries and so much free open source software. Go grab yourself a flashdisk and do yourself a favour. Tbh if you get Ubuntu it is very easy to set up(seriously if you managed to download firefox and add Ublock you probably are very much capable of installing Ubuntu), has shit ton of support online, comes with many useful programs preinstalled and you can even get an add-on to make it look more like windows. Nothing is stopping you
Edit: people are also recommending Linux Mint a lot so you can give that a try! (Personally I have never used it but it looks very windows-like at least when it comes to the UI layout)
#the weirdest part about Ubuntu is that you do not have icons on your desktop but an add-on can fix that#as someone who has windows on notebook ubuntu on desktop and whose uni uses ubuntu on all pcs I can say ubuntu is way better#you can also use emulator for programs that were only made for windows#but many good open source programs have a linux version any way#and it has an app store so installing new programmes is way easier#linux#firefox
