I just want to make cute cuddly characters that sing a chitter. I don’t know how else to say this.
my tiny screen can comfortably display a text block of 45 lines with a maximum length of 79 characters. wonder what kind of information is possible to convey with that kind of information density… #halfbakedideas
@prologic@twtxt.net 36 characters left makes it rough.
I have been using Unix for 25+ years and I just learned about the status character in shells (often ^T). Huh.
The 140 character limit of the twtxt spec is annoying. I hope you got the essence of my previous post.
@vain@www.uninformativ.de the truth is, i never “got” or liked twitter. i think it’s way too noisy and a terrible way to have a conversation, what with the character limit and all. and then mastodon came along and i thought it would be different, but then it became too twitter-like. i get what you mean about twtxt and discoverability, that is one of its drawbacks.
@prologic@twtxt.net Txtnish adds a 28 character timestamp to the message, so in Bash: tweet=tail -1 the current twtxt.txt file and then pipe echo body=${tweet:28} to twt.

@prologic@twtxt.net what is the exact syntax neeed for threads to work in the subject, e.g. will (#tsvhqdq) do it? The whole … (#tsvhqdq) thing seems like a bit of overkill. Too many characters.
one problme I’m seeing already is that the “micro” part is loosing out. Things are routinely getting longer than 140 characters
This morning I had this really weird notion of building a generative podcast complete with musical interludes and asemic speech using a speech synthesizer. It’d be interesting to have “interviews” with two distinct vocal characters. #halfbakedideas
!txtvm, a text-based toy VM, used to run tiny domain-specific bytecode programs using only printable ascii characters. #halfbakedideas
the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas
a 6.5 bit fantasy computer, whose bytecode representation can be represented entirely as printable ascii characters. The first 6 contain standard data space, with the 7th bit used to represent one of 32 values. #halfbakedideas

I’m not even using a real client, I made a (poorly written) bash script to write messages to a file and exit if it’s over 140 characters.
What Does It Mean To Player Character? - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKY1ORCSICY
OK I can’t fault the DomeKano anime for dropping a younger girl who looks almost exactly like Hina & is tsundere from a scene that would be in the last episode but if she doesn’t become a repeat character I will be shocked
conspiracy theory: all of Rob Liefeld’s characters are canonically yuurei, because they don’t have feet
The ‘writing criticism’ curator wrote a review of MfoM where they claimed that the characters were flat but the plot was engaging. I consider this a success, since I was worried about plot (since I don’t ‘get’ it).
I’d like to play a horror game that’s lit like Suspiria is during its most extreme moments: backgrounds & characters in bright monochrome washes, a cypher of harsh shadows, as though lit by single-point neon.
Are there sports video games that, RPG-like, allow a user-created character to progress by getting access to better personal trainers & medical support by winning games while in constant fear of breaking their legs?
One of the ideas I was playing with in MfoM was the distinction between player & player character with a ‘possession’ metaphor, & how that relates to the time loop. I didn’t go so far with it. Maybe in Book of the Damned I’ll have the player be a possessing-spirit.

Is it gauche to name the hero of a show Yuta or does it only become gauche once a different character makes a Yuta / Yusha pun? Asking for a friend. (Gridman / Chuu2byo)
SisterWriter is so weirdly lazy at times. Like, just rotating a cut 90 degrees and doing a static panning shot… Though, the characters are constantly off model and rarely animated or properly posed, so that might be for the best…
004.00 POST: btw, TWTXT has a character limit of 140 characters per message, good excuse for numbering tweets!
@sdk@codevoid.de as for the 140 character limit. I swear I read somewhere that the limit was really more of a suggestion than anything else. I don’t think any of the clients I’ve looked out enforce it. As long as it’s on a single line, no one seems to care too much.
Bad idea of the day: a sanrio-branded sentient shoelace character who is nervous about fraying named Aglets-ko
Bad idea of the day: a retelling of Dracula where Van Hellsing and Renfield are merged into the same character
So, the Pseudomonarchia is like A Thing in anime, isn’t it… Using goetic demons as comic relief characters is something I see occasionally but it wasn’t until You’re Being Summoned, Azazel! that I realized that it wasn’t just like 3 guys doing it.

@kas@enotty.dk If i’m reading http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.5 correctly, the character ‘:’ is explicitly allowed
@dave@davebucklin.com, @kas@enotty.dk I thought about propsing “There is no maximum length of a message. Clients should show at least 140 characters of a tweet after collapsing the mentions.” Or something like that.
