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.

somehow got the gnome text editor into a state where it wouldn't close. kill -9 did nothing. even when rebooting the machine it still wouldn't give up. i had to forcefully shut the computer off. i didn't know processes can just do that
computer screen. it's a terminal of a Linux machine running systemd in the process of rebooting. OK: Reached target System Shutdown. OK: Reached target Late Shutdown Services.

cropped photo of a laptop screen with a paper leaning on it. the paper has a pencil drawing of an anthro raptor-lizard guy standing with a neutral expression, holding an mp3 player and wearing earbuds. however, the contrast due to the lighting makes the earbuds hard to see. they're glancing behind them. on the laptop screen is a magenta-yellow wallpaper, with a glimpse of firefox open on the left.

black on white doodle. there's an anthro dino guy sitting at a computer desk. they have the chair rotated facing away, and they're sitting parallel to the desk. they're leaning on the desk, saying "FUNKY FUNKY." the computer is open to a level in a dance of fire and ice.

ref for multibots!!
reference sheet for Multibots. they're a type of robot. they have a gray metallic rectangular head, with a screen on the front with large also gray bezels. on both sides of the head are dark gray plastic square thingies that extrude out slightly. the screen is like OLED. black emits no light. under the screen are three cameras. one in the center, and two on each side for 3d viewing. multibots are really just a computer, but they can "connect" to willing souls to become sentient. multibots don't need a soul. you can just remote control one, or literally just use the head as an all-in-1 desktop computer. multibots have full control over their screen. on both sides of the head (in the plastic thingies), and also on the bottom of the head, are unibot attachments. they're like the USB-C of body parts. you can plug in parts into them. the bot has to eject unibot attachments themselves. it's also water resistant, as long as you don't eject or plug in anything. a body, which is typically always plugged into the bottom of the head, is really just an attachment. arm attachments are attachments inserted into both sides of the head to give them arms. bots are charged via a unibot attachment port. they can go off 3 days on a single charge. the tracks body type is a very common body type (every bot shown uses one.) it's a simple body with a bendable neck in all 3 degrees of rotation, and tracks for feet at the bottom. the feet work like a 360 degrees treadmill, so they can strafe. the feet can bend slightly as well. dabric the robot is a character that i used to use as my sona in the past. they're quite witty and a little clumsy. their typical face is yellow (#ffd400) on black, with slightly large solid squares for eyes, and a simple pixelated mouth. their face is quite expressive, sometimes using different eyes or adding some simple eyebrows to indicate mood.

ref for teran!!
refrence sheet for the my current sona Teran. they're a mix of raptor an lizard. their pronouns are he/they, and they're mostly just a normal guy. the character isn't entirely complete. experimentation is very welcome! their head is sorta like a stylized dino snout. it's mainly a rounded rectangle. the snout narrows a tad at the end, they have two eyes on both sides of the head, and they have a slight overbite. when their mouth opens, their upper-lip goes up, and their jaw tilts down. kinda like a dog. the drawing dosen't show teeth, but feel free to add teeth! i'm just not so great at drawing teeth yet. now their body. they're 5 feet 5 inches. they have a sorta raptor-like appearance. they stand on two legs, have mostly typical arms, and have digitgrade legs (+3 agility). they have a medium-long sized tail. the tail's floaty, and it's pretty dynamic physics-wise. their hands and feet have claws on them (+2 attack). their typical outfit uses catppuccin mocha colors. they have a blue short-sleeve T-shirt (#74c7ec) and gray pants (#6c7086). they typically don't wear any shoes. their skin color varies between white (#ebedf4) and black (#11111b). black is usually the default skin tone.
