I've Had Enough

nothing more heartbreaking than using a free software and finding out the previously useful free feature is now paid

As an alternative to 'sugar, spice, and everything nice'

I present: 'salt, vinegar, and everything sinister'

POV This is your 46th time dying to Jevil and Kris is starting to Snap

One of humanity's greatest contributions to the art of creating chaos is the humble U-Haul rental van. All over this great country, people who have never driven anything larger than a minivan are now asked to operate a full-ton vehicle that's about as aerodynamic as an enormous cube on skinny tires is.

This wouldn't be a big problem, except U-Hauls, to a vehicle, are barely maintained. Here's why. When you are fleeing the depressing post-industrial city of your birth to move to a new, shiny town in order to get a job in theatre, you don't bring the U-Haul back to that cesspool. You just drop it off in the New Shiny Town U-Haul lot, and it stays there for awhile. The ownership of that U-Haul truck is sort of ambiguous, and so too is the responsibility for its maintenance.

Maybe it didn't belong to Trauma Town U-Haul, either, and nobody feels much like doing an oil change on it if it only benefits some asshole in another state that they've never met. After all, that truck could very well never make it back to its hometown before it is retired by way of a haggard father of two putting it into the ditch at 4am. They certainly aren't going to do something like replacing ball joints, or fixing that worn steering coupler, or replacing the cracked tires when the guy before you stole them for his Super Duty.

Learning how to drive an enormous, poorly-handling, badly-maintained vehicle in unfamiliar areas wouldn't be so bad if you weren't also stressed out at the time. Moving is hard, even when things are going great. Trying not to run over a Geo Metro when you're on your fourth run, haven't had a meal with vegetables in it since last week, and have exactly fifteen minutes to clear out before the landlord sets your coffee table on fire is significantly harder.

The next time you see someone in a U-Haul van, give them a bit of extra room. Let them know that you've got their back, and we're all aligned against the evil forces of capitalism that made this interaction as hellish as it needed to be. Maybe stay a little further back than that, in case they decide to pop a u-turn in the middle of the highway and end up firing an entire Ikea kitchen set through your windshield.

WOOH GOD THIS TOOK A LOT OF TIME. THIS IS MEANT TO BE FOR THE AU IVE BEEN GOING ON ABOUT FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS but i can absolutely post up to here on its own i think without actually going into the au's territory too much DJBFDKFNDKFND

SO HAVE THIS!! FOR NOW!!!!

Some couples of Siffrins doodles a long while ago :p

( I forgot to post )

My Loop sprite redraws are looking a bit different I love how gesture-ful Loop is I kinda wish we got to see more Sif arm action as weird as that sounds

welcome to my dance pose obsession (i havent danced in my life). i like SEEING stuff like this because it can display character dynamics in an interesting way - DRAWING dance poses however, is awful. Only place i had a true reference was the 3 poser in the bottom right (It is also my favorite drawing, i just think its cute). Everything else is from memory, and its very telling. I sacrificed anatomy for shapes, and it turned out ok in some places; overall im "meh" on this post. also dont pay attention to design inconsistencies smile - literally every time i draw losa i change their designs a little.

A few months earlier....

So this was a short test of me trying to practice modding In Stars and Time!! Just did a short little scenario to test out the dialogue boxes and little symbols needed to make them work, made a map from scratch, etc. Made this little cutscene! Obvs using what was already in game because again. just a test

I'd honestly really like to do more ISAT modding stuff. Me on my way to spearhead a modding community for ISAT. in mods and time.
