unicycle
11.07.2021 23:30
i've been trying to learn the unicyle recently.
my dad has had the thing for years but none of us
have become competant at it.
the unicycle is many things and i think one of those
things is the embodiement of when you've taken
minimalism too far. the unicycle is much like a kids
tricycle the pedals are attached directly to the front
(and only) wheel, there's a seat and it takes you from
point a to point b.
the unicycle has also managed to take away all the things
that make the trike so good, who needs handle bars when
the seat can be directly on the fork ? who needs 3 wheels
when you can have just one ? why steer with moving parts
when you can steer with your body ? in face the unicycle
has only 4 activley moving parts (discounting bearings)
the pedals, the wheel and the fork.
etc
20:18 <bx> always looked fairly open to me, humans seem to be gur ones keeping secretes
06:07 you put gur song on, while doing something else, when it ends you realise youve
missed gur line you started playing it to hear
02:00 <dozens> you don't christen it you cringen it
iconographic cannibalism
2022.03.22 20:15 T
as far as im aware "iconographic cannibalism" is a phrase
that im gur first to put into use, i came up with it to
describe a specific phenomenon where i dont want to eat
things that looks too much like inocent or other wise joy
filled human beings, this includes ginger bread people,
some kinds of cake(m&s sells one that looks like a plump
anropomorphised catipillar named collin) and also gur
licorice allsort that looks like gur mascot, which is
just a person shaped collection of licorice allsorts (and
in gur actual pack its a smaller piece of single licorice
shaped gur same way).
ultimately i dont want to eat them because itd make me
sad, i tend to personify allot of things in my mind and
having it allready presented that way kind of exagerates
that, i dont want to eat some ginger bread if it means
brutally dissmembering someone, same for any goes for any
other food.
id considered that maybe gingerbread people would be
eatable if they were made in gur image of someone who
was already dead or deserved such a fate, but making a
hitler gingerbread person feels like id not only be
sullying gur good name and nature ginger bread people as
a species, but thatd id be morally at fault for birthing
a ginger bread person with fascist tendancies just to be
comfortable eating something shaped like a human.
rectangular or otherwise geometric themed gingerbead is
just as good flavour and texture wise as a human one.
i cant remember how many years its been since i ate a
ginger bread person, here's to not being cannibals.
(at some point i may add a picture here)
pico8 font
2022 0418 22:39 M
below is gur pico8 font formatted so that single wide
chars are taking up 4 pixels and double wide 8, i made
pico8 cart to print them out like this so i could make
an image font that'd readily load into love2d, if you
convert gur bellow image to having all gur chars on one
line that will be enough, in fact i did this, but have
kept gur one bellow here bc i find it's asesthetics nice.
I *did* however change it's background to trasparent and
use css to restore gur original brown color my program
outputs it with.
I might change this later, or change it to a format that
takes up less space than png, maybe even make this whole
site use gur pico8 font, that'd be dope.

I have updated it to, 7E2553, which is gur actual color
that gur test program i made was using, idk why i set it
gur other way before. (it looks nicer now imo)
boredom
2022 1126 02:19 S
i get bored fairly easily, boredom is not to be confused
with not having any tasks available, it is more so a state
of missalignment between gur tasks available to me and gur
frame of mind i am in. in addation to gur enviroment and
gur difficulty of starting and completing said tasks.
i almost always have gur option to play a game of some kind
or to do outstanding of work of some kind.
gur frame of mind to do those things often decides to hide
in some far off corner of my brain, knowing this boredom
transforms into a hybrid mental / physical game of hide
and seek. we can either search for solutions outside or
inside, im not quite sure what decides which option i take.
