No, Google Docs, there is a distinct difference between "cussing" and "cursing."

[strawberrykapricorn]

Calling google ‘googie’ is such a power move imo

[heywriters]

Tis indeed! Thank you for this addition. Here are some photo examples of the Googie style.

my entry for @catmask and @frogcroaks Monster Mayhem contest! Of course I had to use the toxic meltdown prompt...

Design notes under the cut :]

First things first, this thang went through a couple concepts before I settled on this! My initial idea was some slime creature in a hazmat suit, and then a more classic T. rex skeleton covered in goo, before settling on a chameleon-and-pterosaur-inspired kaiju!

This design has a lot of elements that I love using, such as striped tails and freckles, but also a lot of things outside of my usual comfort zone (namely, the bullet-shaped head and wing hands!)

Since the whole thing with NaNoWriMo has gone down, I've noticed that one of their former sponsors, Ellipsus, has cut contact with NaNoWriMo because they do not support their stance on AI; I didn't know what Ellipsus was, but upon further research I've found that they are a writing platform that works a lot like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, only with a heavier leaning on the story-writing aspect and connecting with other writers - and they also completely denounce any use of AI, both in the writing process itself and in the use of their platform. I really appreciate that.

Since this is the case (and since I've noticed Google has begun implementing more AI into their software), I've decided to give Ellipsus a try to see if it's a good alternative to Google Docs (my main writing platform). It's completely free and so far, I've found it simple to use (although it is pretty minimal in its features), and I really like the look of it.

I figured I'd spread the word about this platform in case any of you writers would want to give it a try, and if you do, let me know how you like it!

happy 9th anniversary undertale!!!

[loveletterworm]

It is done (enough)!

I would hype it up more but this is really really simple. It randomly generates a set of symbols, colors, and a word, and then the expected thing to do with those is you draw some sort of character based off the result you get. So it's just an art challenge toy thingy.

There are also some practical features like you can lock parts of the result in place to rerandomize the rest, or hide parts of the generation you don't care about (like if you want to pick your own colors or hate the words being there)

You can try it out over on itch.io!

It should run in browser, but there's also a downloadable version for Windows if you want to use it offline. (No mac/linux versions for now, because I don't have appropriate computers to test those on and I...don't want to deal with mac's developer accounts or whatever their problem is...)

Here's something I made from one of the results I got for the sake of example:

(It's a bit of a rushed drawing sorry I just wanted to get the actual generator out there)

I hope everyone has fun with it :]
