after much deliberation I have completed a simple task that took me less than 10 minutes, and I'm happy to report that this time it only cost me about 3 days of dread
controversial stance but i do wish i could live forever. i certainly live like i'm going to live forever. i take my time. realistically however my lifespan is dreadfully limited and there are things i've "been meaning to do" that i will never get around to. the Emoji Movie came out almost 10 years ago. in all that time on any random day i could've decided to sit down and watch it, and i did not. how many more decades will slip by like this? conceivably, it could be all the decades i have left. watching the Emoji Movie would not be, after all, a crucial use of my time. much better things to do. i could easily postpone it over and over and over until my final breath where it may not even register to me that i never did watch the Emoji Movie. no great loss, certainly; and yet i find myself intrigued by Patrick Stewart's involvement

It ended when I lost your loovee... ♫
..I suppose this probably would’ve been a better post to make back in April when the game turned 4 years old. I felt sentimental though!! Leave me be!!
I can’t say I’m entirely too familiar with FNF and whatever orbits it. I had a brief stint with it back a few years ago where I spoofed around with the modding side of things with a few of my friends at the time, but nothing truly out of the box, per say..
..Which makes it weird that I’m so familiar with this specific, niche fangame that had such a (tragically) short lifespan.
FNF Free Download (or FD, which I’ll be referring to it as from this point) was an fangame for FNF that in short took each element of the game, whether that be its characters, story, music and whatnot and spun it on its head, resulting in this beautifully weird game I’ve been head over heels for for the past few years.
The game follows Dude and Lady, parodying Boyfriend and Girlfriend, and their various mishaps through their town and set of characters, with a surprisingly complex (and admittedly out there at points) story backing it. It was unfortunately canned back in 2024, leaving its story only 60% realized, but what’s there is still a fun little experience regardless.
I probably couldn’t definitively put my finger on what makes the game so good if you sat me down and told me to; I could probably go on about its cast of characters, music, story and whatever..
..But if I had to give an answer, I think the biggest thing it has taught me whenever I look it at compared to the likes of its game of origin is probably how you can carve out your own thing from a pre-existing mold, and that’s something that has mattered to me so much as a creative as I’ve grown and refined my own skills.
It’s a beautiful thing that such a simple little fan project that spoofs on a DDR knockoff enthralled me with its world and characters to the extent that it did, despite how simple it was in retrospect.
I think a lot of that comes down to the story that ties every entry in story mode together as it definitely takes up the main meat of the game, and to this day I’m still heartbroken it ended for good on a cliff-hanger, even if what happens after has been in the public’s knowhow for a while now.
Hell, I even made a cosplay of Weeknd 3’s Buddy for a short con I was invited to in a spir of the moment decision, back when I was getting into making them. It was my very first experience with that sorta thing and I loved it!!
While the game’s fire definitely doesn’t spark as much as it used to, if at all, but I still feel it’s definitely left it’s mark on me and a few other people that I still hold very dearly nowadays. I'm glad I was able to talk about it somewhere atleast, anywho.
Man, your parents named you that? They must be pretty stupid. No wonder you hate humanity.
You can't fuck up your lines while I'm killing myself, it ruins the dramatic tension.
I'm still a touch sick and am taking comfort in writing things where I don't have to draw backgrounds. Does anyone else also habitually draw characters as left handed? It just works so much better for left -> right reading order.
i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that
Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.
