several digital sketches. from roughly top left to right: a headshot of a anthro lizard-dino facing forward a side profile of a lizard-dino, looking upwards to a star. a head of a lizard-dino at a slight angle, just looking upwards. the head of a skeleton with glowing eyes of some lizard. they're like dry bones. another head of a lizard-dino. they're smiling and have a shine on their head. an antho lizard-dino walking with a blank expression, looking backwards. there's a question mark by their head. a multibot (rectangular tv-head style robot) wearing a top hat.

low-res digital drawing. it's some lizard guy in a crowded field of regular people. they have a blank expression. text reads "How can you feel alone when you're surrounded by people?"

digital drawing. it's a nice!view, which is a lil PCB with a monochrome screen on it. there's a black lizard-like creature poking their head out.

some other drawings
series of simple black on white drawings. a short small anthro dino. an arrow is pointing to it saying "meh". a head of a nerdy wizard dragon. a dino head, with a more narrow snout and some fancy eyes. an anthro duck wearing a party hat. a really simple drawing of a dino, sawyed back, arms flailing some robot thing with a flat head and eyes for screens that are vertically placed on top of their head.

simple black-on-white digital drawing. it's some synth-like robot with a blank expression. they're thinking of the image of konqi from the KDE about menu.

I've always been pretty stumped by its apparently popularity.

it just, kinda ticked up in downloads randomly without an increase in views. looking up "scroll for worldedit" online returns nothing to indicate why. there's been almost no comments on curse forge, and no activity on GitHub.
modrinth analytics page. downloads have been flat, but suddenly shoot up, maintaining that rate for the rest of time. views spiked for a bit but then flatline. the spike is notably before the shoot up in downloads

some springy animations and experimenting with a lil preview thingy for the art gallery (which will be expanded to the other links, eventually... )

experimenting with a website redesign
screenshot of a website made with astro.build. it's dark and green. along the top are a bunch of white squares in a wavy line. below is a green and shiny heading just saying "dabric". below the heading are a bunch of various links to my socials and the various parts of my website. the links are in boxes, and most of the boxes have a subtle shine at the top.

i don't like how it's vaguely live... i don't know how live, but you could possibly use it to see if someone's out of country

some playing around
various simple black-on-white digital drawings. from left to right, top to bottom: a multibot (robot with a rectangular head, a screen on the front, and two ear-like squares extruding from the sides) with a cute expression. somewhat :3 like. an anthro square dino head. they're just looking forward. another dino head. the proportions are exaggerated, making it look very angular. another multibot with a similar expression. they're saying "pleh." full body anthro dino guy. they're laying on their back. the proportions are a bit exaggerated and the lines aren't precise. kinda stylized in a way. a simple dragon head.

on real hardware the most I could do was just get it to say "cards". it doesn't change at all when I interact with it. still cool tho!
photo of an actual playdate in the launcher's menu. the "view as" option's name is instead erroneously "cards"

an amusing bug i found in the playdate simulator if you lock it while opening the menu

that's just my broad experience. web apps tend to be slow for me in general.

however, what I interpreted as it chugging seems to actually be a visual bug. when you switch between the cards, it'll animate off-screen, but it extends the viewport and makes the fixed UI elements visually disappear

quick and dirty change to bluesky's social-app, and yeah it largely seems trivial. the already existing show more button nicely works here :>

drawing tablet tests
three simple black on white digital drawings. from left right: my sona, teran, an anthro dino, facing forward. because of the shape of their head, you can only see the front of their snout. an anthro lizard standing facing right. a headshot of a synth with their eyes closed.

one year difference between these drawings
white on black drawing done in mspaint using the pencil tool. it's several attempts to draw my dino sona teran holding a pizza slice. the proportions are bad, the perspective is non-existent for the worse, the arm is positioned awkwardly, and the tail doesn't flow at all and feels disconnected. a black on white drawing done in krita. it's my same dino sona, but this time drawn a lot better. and he's holding a sword instead. the tail is obviously a part of the body, he has digitgrade legs now, there's perspective. the proportions are miles ahead of the last drawing as he now looks cute instead of ugly and rough.

(cough cough Rubik)
the above post in the font Rubik. instead of the three being round and vertically symmetrical, it's stylized, with the top half of the character pointy. this makes the emoticon :3 quite unnatural and weird looking.

probably could go with a better link color
the WebAIM contrast checker, with the the link text color (#58669C) and the background (#EEEEEE) inputted. it has a 4.76:1 ratio, passing AA but failing AAA for normal text.

decently spacious and wide white image. taking up the bottom half is a graphic pulled from the 1992 Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines, along with a drawing. it's an icon of macintosh with a large red circle with a line through it, with the text "Don't even think of doing this." a magenta line follows to the right, circling a drawing of a small anthro dinosaur that i made.
