the normal flavors

do you still track your mood every day?

not any more :(

i'm interested in doing such a thing myself, to aid my memory since i haven't been able to have cohesive memory since 2022

the thing i used was this program that interfaces with google sheets and then i had a react native app that could talk to it : https://github.com/Filip-Kin/RightNow

where have you been?

in my apartment making the next video, mostly.

hope your feeling good!

today specifically has been a little rough but i am doing some very fun things...

i just can't see you much on discord servers anymore 😭

i've been getting off of the large online social universe. at this point, discord and signal are only on my phone. you should try DMing me or emailing me, if i know you.

how to imitate the style of jackson pollock

you gotta look at every single thing they ever did, and read every word they wrote. and really get it in your head. then you can be anyone. who's jackson pollock?

how many songs are actually a different song?

most of them / none of them...

any musings on the exquisite piece "Frozen Star" by the composer Kevin MacLeod?

not really. i think i've heard it before though.

To distribute or not to distribute, that is the question. (Thoughts on distributed systems?)

it's a bit over my head how so many systems are needed to operate a big Thing. i think it's good not to distribute unless you have a reason. for example of a small distributed system, paper clover dot net is made up of two server computers, and my mac.

thoughts on plunderphonics?

i have some thoughts yeah.

when's the last time you ever looked at the stars
like, really looked at them, with purpose
was it fun

i live in a place where the stars don't shine through the light pollution. so it's been a few years. i miss the stars, and i wonder if they look back down at me. well, i guess they cant see thru the light pollution either...

the last time was really fun though.

then it started snowing. do you think it'll ever stop? or are we stuck in a world where we don't make the rules? where we don't have to own up to responsibility?

time is almost in the summer now.

2025-05-13 15:15 This is literally impossible to overdo with the right people. In fact, you can never be too much in any part of your life with the right people.

people sometimes say this to me and i try to believe them.

Even when you’re being toxic, the right people will give you space to work out your shit, but they’ll actually come back around to attempt reconciliation when they think you’ve adjusted the toxic behavior enough that it’s safe for them to come back around.

this is true and i've seen it happen before. i've also been on the other side of it.

And cuddles aren’t even toxic!

what if i crush u with huge squeeze...

Should you try being toxic to me right now just to test this theory?

most of my toxicity comes from happenings in my brain and then it rubs off on other people through conversation. also some times i fall in love and that seems to only ever be a disaster. it's hard to explain it exactly. all i can really say anymore is that i am really sorry and that i don't expect you to come back. please hug me.

2025-05-12 17:22 I think it means that when you want to grow and revolutionize one part of your life, it may require the reconfiguration or destruction/rebuild of other seemingly unrelated parts of your life. But why??

that's why i said i didn't get it, but what is interesting is sometimes i end up doing that. i let myself get more free with my life, fixed gender. but then i decided to cut out a bunch of things in search of a simpler life. i even cut out my job. and then i cut out my fears of storing too many gigabytes for music video projects and being fearless (just want to share with the world through some form how it's 230GB of data and counting. at this rate it'll probably be 500 when it's done).

it's sort of a coincidence, i feel like this video is saying something similar to what happened here. but the bigger thing is: instead of it being told by a magic being, these are all things you notice long after they happen. life changes.

everything was just happening, right?

that's what i think went on this week. and then hard drives failed. but then they actually didn't. it's key to remember that things that happen might not have.

thoughts on visual albums?

yeah those are pretty good

congrats on getting the backlog back up! and in general all of the site improvements.

been good. i can now call these portions of the site "done". i even moved a ton of my old journal files into the private archive, deciding i wont go back to edit them (instead, focusing on newer journals, etc).

Anything left you want to add to the site?

should be pretty obvious what's next: the new songs i said i wanted to make. maybe an album one day. overall, what's left is to add all the new stuff i haven't made. first, by making them. then, adding them.

what is the nature of kudos?

it's important to remember. grounds us in a shared reality where we all contribute.

thoughts on cuddles, and coziness?

something i absolutely chase but i usually overdo it with people.

Thoughts on this? www.facebook.com/share/r/15PZNtX5ZG

i don't get it

who is the answer?

maybe it's the person reading this text.

am i real

yeah. i think so.

what is size?idkIf you could change one thing about GitHub what would you change?

make it so everything loads today not tomorrow

what time signature are you

5/5

am i a good person and if so, why

since i don't know who you are, i'd have to say you're likely completely average in every aspect imaginable. that is because an unknown person is most likely, by definition, to be the average of all known people.

what is the opposite of fear?

thrill

can you tell im a different person from everyone else by my lack of punctuation and capital letters

no but normally i have a same-person detector but it's currently offline. and i realized i sort of don't need to know who is who as long as i know who my friends are.

Went through the questions and shocked this isn't a duplicate.

it has been asked before but before the current cutoff time, see 2021-02-05 00:03 and 2020-05-15 00:50 and 2019-07-15 03:31

What's your current favorite color? Has it changed over time?my new favorite color is pastel blue and pastel purple. i think it has changed over time but all of them sort of sit in the same pastel soft color. green is still pretty good, so the change is mostly additive.
is a sword effective against sunlight?

it needs to be a longsword. but rather a special form of longsword where it can reach the heart of the sun. otherwise you're just deflecting the rays and not the source.

how are friends friends

via a smooth vibe check.

are umbrellas a good weapon

yeah except for where it doesn't rain. and in those places, a water hose is a good weapon.

do you ever stand in a field and cry about how big and small the field is at the same time?

the only fields i have ever been to were in dreams. i was too busy admiring the colors in the scene to even think about the sizes of things. i was satisfied.

C# B# C# B# C# A, B C# C# B B A, G#, F#?

this looks close to the waterfalls melody but it's out of key. but no i'm no longer jealous of the seasons because i am now flying high above the sky.

2025-05-03 15:24 could the lesson here be to pay attention to the battery life and start notification and charging before it gets to 1% next time?

you could also use a battery-less device like a mac studio.

bleh bleh bleh do you have a favorite cat picture?

not really a favorite one, but a pretty top tier one was them holding 4 blahaj at ikea.

what makes batteries very stressful

sometimes you are left on 1% of battery remaining and it feels like you gotta do everything left in the world in that time. and then the battery dies and then you realize you can get a new one, but it still sucks.

2025-05-01 03:13what now... any special plans!!

more music videos

is gravity cool or lame

it's grounding

how do i make sense while im breaking chairs in front of a group of kindergardeners

try not doing that maybe..

... what... happened? why did your videos, even those that are similar... just... disappear?

i don't know what you mean. nothing disappeared, everything i've ever made is on this website. or do you mean how i stopped using external web sites? if so yes that was very intentional.

not a question, but happy birthday.

thank you. i got myself a new computer, and i am surprised to say it took less than an hour to get the questions backend working. the downside is i refuse to install any code editor besides neovim.

is your birthday today or tomorrow?

2025-04-30 22:44 knows

how do magnets and attraction work?

they're so alone so they'll do anything just to see another magnet. though, never in a gay way.

if you don't know, what makes them so special?

the fact they work tbh.

is humanity plunging into a high-tech version of the middle ages?

i don't know i haven't really looked outside. it could be any kind of ages. i just know that my current life is somewhere there, perhaps. or like, i'm right at the end of them.

if you're a clover, how many leaves do you have?

3

are you still making games?

not really. apologies

What is the last time you used the jump button?

3 to 5 weeks ago

I’ve known of your online presence for many many years now, which is not the same as knowing you in real life, but it’s still something. I’ve also lived my own life which comes with its own amount of wisdom. And what I can tell you is that the end of one thing is always the beginning of something else. Worse things have to end for better things to have the room to come in. But the process of going from caterpillar to butterfly middles with a cocoon stage where you’re kind of mushy and you have no idea what is about to happen. I suspect you might be in the mushy stage. I hope some part of you deep inside is cheering you on from the not so distant future.

i hold regular meetings with all versions of myself and it's usually pretty cheerful.

You’re headed in the right direction even if you don’t know where you’re going yet and I’m really proud of you.

thank you

Please try and think really big right now. If you had a magic lamp and could wish on it for some kind of help to ease any of your current challenges, what would you wish for?

20 more hours today

can you describe a duck?

yes

would you be interested in making music together

first trying to figure out how to do it on my own first but then maybe if we know each other well we could do something. give me some time tho ...

Where is the video file for your volar animation located? How can I find it?

it will be located here once i finish the new site thing. check back in 2 days: file/2019/volar-visual-cover

Your answer to the npr link question reminded me of the end of “From Above” by Ben Folds: “maybe that’s how books get written, maybe that’s why songs get sung, maybe we owe the unlucky ones”. Then again, the line between lucky and unlucky eventually blurs and you end up realizing all the things you thought made you unlucky might have been the luckiest thing that ever could have happened.Oh, ask a question, right… how’s work going?

i quit at the end of this week.

what do you get when you cross an insomniac, an unwilling agnostic and a dyslexic?

Who is chloe 😭😭

i think it's me

Have you noticed any parallel like this among your friends or acquaintances or do you think this sounds mostly coincidental? I’ve noticed among my autistic creative friends that they often have a larger trans audience than my non-autistic creative friends and I’ve always wondered what the link might be.https://www.npr.org/2023/01/15/1149318664/transgender-and-non-binary-people-are-up-to-six-times-more-likely-to-have-autism

it's hard to know who my audience is since i do not track it and it is usually impossible to tell who is in my audience so i can't really answer with any statistics.

but i think the feeling is the general vibe of what us trans/nb/autistic/neurodivergent/etc people crate just feels cozier among other of us (i am grouping a lot of people into one big group i know). i've certainly noticed that a majority of my friends fit into one of those groups.

in the end it doesn't matter, the real group we want to look at is creative people. i think neurodivergence, or at least what i think i have, is sort of magic want that grants you creativity that a typical person would never even dare. shit like ignoring every god damn rule ever fuckin' imagined. and doing it by instinct, because our alternatives always suck sucks.

i hope that type of creativity + attraction to that creativity does exist outside of those spaces because i think most of those people end up going thru something so mindbendingly bad and the result of the lucky ones are the art we savor today. i sometimes think about if pain is how the most beautiful art is born.

Could the wheel have been invented today?

sure. do it right now.

what do you think happens if an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object?

passes through

Are televisions technically imperfect two-way mirrors, in that just as they try to reflect us, we try to reflect them?

they are one way. you can only see the past on the screen. not the future on the camera.

video chat is a more of a two-way mirror. to be perfectly honest, a standard mirror is more so a two-way mirror.

Have you ever let Person Y’s opinion of Person X determine your opinion of Person X or do you always make up your own mind about Person X on your own?

maybe a little. it's a bit of both.

is there gonna be any ARG/secrets on this website?

just one. it won't be hidden that much. but in in a week i'm going to make some changes to the site.

why poor people is always working?

money

why is this world such a lonely place?

they knew how powerful we'd be together.

meow?

meow

Why so much maintenance work all the time?

i'm not sure what this is referring to but if it was the fact in 2025-04-18 21:40, this change in the site internals is a part of a large project i'm working on. it'll make sense soon.

could you answer this question with a direct link to an mp3 file which you created that you haven't shared on this website before

no, because i'd have to upload it and currently my site's file handling is being almost fully rewritten.

i'll do you one better, i'll link to something i haven't shared OR uploaded. check back in 2 weeks for this to load:

file/2018/yay.wav

why is hearing people's full names funny to me?

probably because my full name includes "meow" which is so funny i couldn't bring myself to make it my legal name but i settled on the closest thing instead.

top ten list items?i luv u so much <3

you are loved too i hope you know that.

thoughts on chloe caruso?

seems to be a girl for once.

why are you so nice?

i tend to think of it as the "usual behavior"

Clover ... 21 birthday happy
Ready?

it could happen one day.

Are you afraid of [thing I don't like] ideology and how much power the [thing I don't like]-industrial complex has in our society?

sure but i'm also afraid of wasting every moment i've ever lived.

it's a two day journey but i walk to the weekend every thursday.

what is your favorite number?

six

what’s the best use for electricity?

to electrify things that need electrification. for example, the electoral college has a lot of electricity. probably too much. we could downgrade it to a regular college.

opinion on desktop backgrounds?

they can be really meaningful

are you the kinda person who likes to keep it default or likes to change it every now and then?

i've kept the same one since 2023-04-30. a gift i got from aya.

what comes down and never goes up?

fever

im uncomfortable with the simplicity of this page, please reassure me that someone, somewhere is harvesting my data

i am. all your questions are now mine to answer.

Science has been going through a bunch of crises followed by paradigm shifts since at least the late 19th century. There was the ultraviolet catastrophe, which led to the birth of quantum physics. Then the foundational crisis in mathematics, which was solved with Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice. Then the replication crisis in psychology which led to the widespread adoption of best practices. Now we have like four or five different crises in cosmology (to name a few: Hubble tension, S8 tension, vacuum catastrophe, cosmic superstructures that seem to contradict the Cosmological Principle). Most of the crises seem to be caused by discrepancies between data and theory, but what about the paradigm shifts? Is there a pattern? And if there is, could we as a species figure out a way to speed up scientific progress using the pattern?

there is a pattern, but there is a chance that the pattern is random.

What is Physics

thing fall down but it bounce back up. everything is travelling in a different direction.

when was the last time you saw a jar of jelly beans?

probably that one episode of a tv show where they're trying to guess the count--- nope those weren't jelly beans. umm i think it would've been around 2021-- nope those weren't in a jar.

i don't think this has ever happened in my life.

Discord link is broken/expired. Locked down?

it works for me. you may be one of the 10 banned users. it's okay, because i am looking for alternative chat platforms anyways. i've been using signal for personal contacts, and it's been amazing. so far my research shows that there isn't a good "public chat room" application besides discord.

how many decades until the internet dies?

it already is dead. we're all on our own!

what is the meaning of chocolate?

tasty........

Should I dim my light so that I don’t accidentally blind anyone?

if you are worried, get some anti lights to go along with the lights. that'll cancel out the brightness.

What’s your favorite cheese?

typical

why does air have no smell?

not true.

have you ever heard of "project cheeseburger" by chance?

i have not but looks cool. i remember when i was playing the original super mario bros that this mod went off of.

Saturn and Earth are opposites in terms of ___.

appreciation

opinions on php?

i think it's great

what is it all supposed to mean?

whatever you want to make it mean

if you were to be a contestant on any televised game show, which one would you like to win?

the truman show

do you ever wonder who's behind the screen & what their true intentions are?

yeah i wonder sometimes.

Jupiter less than earth?

it depends on the measurement. as one example, it has a fewer amount of blown up titanic-visiting submarines.

breda lrv3 or siemens lrv4

i really do not think i have been on LRV3 before

2+9-7(4+7)0

11

Will you fly to come visit me?

depends on if your name is aya.

what is an open relationship and how sinful is it on a scale from simple purgatory to the inevitable heat death of satan’s anus?

about the usual sin level of a standard relationship.

what is the meaning of this website?

it's intended to mean a few things, which the viewer can then select and feel that meaning.

are rainbows technically symbols of destruction since rain comes from the sun destroying a cloud and making its body bleed off, and rainbows are just the sun slicing its light right through the cloud's bleeding flesh? and is the fact that rainbows follow our shadows a threat that the sun will someday do the same to us?

sure, if that's you want.

how many questions do you get on average?

i get an average amount of questions, on average. you can see that for yourself.

Can I answer the next persons question

no because this is my question page and also because you didn't provide your answer.

Do all the little rocks around saturn that make the rings count as moons?

i just spoke with the department of galactical efficiency and found out that in 2006 these "moons" were reclassified as "dwarf moons"

what’s a good question for me to ask

that's you to decide

do you believe in second chances?

sometimes the chance count can be infinite. sometimes it's zero. it depends deeply on the situation.

would you be close with someone who's done something terrible but has learned from it?

this is asked like a theoretical but i think about someone who was close to me and did something terrible. their second chance is to be given by someone else, not me.

do you think burning bridges = growth ?

no, but not being super ashamed of the fact it happened is. well, it depends on the bridge.

how do you stick to projects long enough to actually finish them??

sunk cost fallacy, but also just do so many projects that people don't realize how many projects go unfinished or have been ongoing for years.

I just want to say this is a very cool site, I don’t have a good question today but reading all of the thoughts on the page made me quite happy. Hello :)

okay

any food that you've noticed used to be so good and has declined in recent years?

shrimp. i've never really enjoyed it in the past 8 or so years but i used to enjoy it a lot.

what's your biggest regret

burned some bridges one day and it's all fine everyone is fine. or at least i think i burned the bridges. idk, i have not looked back and it might be there. i am not going to check.

thoughts on 3d printing? do you have a 3d printer?

they are cool but i've never known what to print with one so i never bought one

do you enjoy writing ampersands (&)

yeah i would say so

Why do you think Meta (the company) is evil?

feel like all the guys at the top are out to get me. like most people are. but it's okay because i don't need them anymore.

i was going to search online about the company and how it's doing now but i feel like my search ended after seeing the "people also ask" section on google having "Is Meta still a good company?" as the first option. scrolling down i see a reddit post claiming "Meta is a fraud of a company."

i don't really want to know what else they did. but the core is that they don't care about their user base. which is most technology companies.

thoughts on having pet plants?

they behave very well i truly recommend

Oh, I have always been proud of future Chloe. And past Chloe. Also present day Chloe. Seems to just be a permanent fixture now that I think about it. Perhaps the pride is a constant, it’s just what exactly I’m proud of that is variable.

you must have really enjoyed watching [Invalid Artifact Ref: @sometimes-i-time-travel]

What are you most proud of when it comes to future Chloe?

i'm proud she's happy.

does this site ever get spam? is there any bot protection here?

yes.

would u ever do weed

the last time i tried i "used it wrong and it didn't work" and i haven't tried it since. maybe.

hi portal 2 geometry dash guy from years ago here again

hi asker of 2024-02-19 22:03 i miss you too.

just wanted to say i was very confused when i went to the old site to find a poem i actually thought the github was like a girlfriend you got but then i looked at the profile picture and a lightbulb appeared over my head and the gears started turning and CONGRATS!!!!

maybe i'll keep the icon then. i was planning on changing the icon to something without trans colors soon.

ive always been coming back to this page ever since i found it because i was actually introduced into the paperclover multiverse all the way back when elemental 4 was really popular, i see this as a corner of the internet im familiar with and its like a spider web in the corner of a really, really giant room

maybe you should join the discord. but that's up to you.

obviously i dont even know who you are personally but i think its cool to have this little qna space where i could just scroll down and read for hours because its like watching a bunch of ants converse and speak like funny idiots, i think your website design is very cool and colorful which is probably what inspired me to now take a leap into graphic design and digital art in general

i'm happy when i inspire people like that. really gotta get the site back to how it was before (i rebuilt the entire thing from scratch for 2025)

but the q+a page has become one of my favorite things i've ever done with my life. mostly the fact it's still up, with all the questions- well, still deep in reorganizing old media... i have all the questions and files, just have to organize the hyperlinks. the questions go back to around late 2019. here is one of the old ones from 2021

i hope you get a million dollars,

god i wish,, then i could do a music video per month instead of the current pace.

i think you would like the song "so beautiful" by tv room (and just the artist in general, really underrated/ground), speaks words, much love and dream big

this stuff is good. i've been trying to vary the sounds i'm using in production and its all eye opening shit. i really like how tv room is doing that here.

what are your fashion goals?

i think first i need to be able to walk into the fashion store. like, as an absolute minimum baseline. then, the sky is the limit

I’m really proud of you. That’s not a question; I just wanted to let you know.

you should be proud of future chloe instead. i am.

2025-03-08 15:08 i don't know why, but i've had many times in my life when i would say "yeah" and someone would think i said "no" and vice versa, i would say "nah" and someone would think i said "yeah". even if it's full-length sentences like (to use an example) "she doesn't like it" the other person would think i said "she likes it" and i would have to correct them. i don't know if this is a common experience, or if it's just a problem i have. maybe it's the latter

i'm not sure if that is something i've ever seen before. that's interesting. especially on "doesn't"- perhaps you aren't pronouncing the n't bit hard enough. like if you pronounce doesn't more like dozen and then more like "does n", and you say it softly. but even then this is silly because i feel like i would never heard "she does like it", because you can just say "she likes it" so this is like. what.

the weather man can predict storms and sunshine and rain and snow, so why can’t they predict rainbows?

you should watch a different weather person who can. or predict the rainbows yourself.

do you ever struggle with making multiple things (like songs, games, stories, etc) to the point where you can't finish anything?

yes. it's sort of a disorder of mine and many; i flirt with so many ideas, but i can't make time for everything. if you're curious how you get out of it, part of the game is just extreme mental force saying what ideas out of the swarm makes you smile. and then do them. but even then, i'm still in this state of things, but not as bad it was before.

why do "yes" and "no" sound so similar

this is not true

how did you build an online community of people who are invested in your work and check your website regularly?

i feel like there's an answer to this and i feel like the answer is not "shout into the void for years" but that seems to be how it works online. to be honest i don't fully believe it myself, that it happened to me at all.

name one random thing that must be trademarked

any updates on your youtube channel?

youtube remains a very unsuitible place for anyone to put media on. instead, you can view media on my website. it has no ads, among many other features.

difference between a law and a bill?

any word can mean whatever you want it to.

coffee or tea

i've been recently getting coffee in the afternoon and tea late at night

idea or innovation?

love

When will the rest of the 1600 questions be available?

i've been doing them in chunks, but i got hit by a question with an incredibly long answer about g is missing and it has like 8 links to behind the scenes files.

so really i just have to finish the archive project before i can continue the questions stuff. and that project is competing for time between the next song, the programming language project, and other life things. i'll eventually get it done.

is there a "don't understand" section where you straight up just don't understand some of the submitted questions?

yes.

if the black-and-blue/white-and-gold dress anomaly spread to other things (laurel/yanny notwithstanding), eventually splitting reality in half, would world war 3 have started in the 2010s?

it would've been interesting if that happened because i'm certain that one side would have black and blue uniforms, while the other had a white and gold camo pattern, and the war ending in a tie because when the winners returned home, no one could agree what color the uniforms and flags were.

but no, the next world war is scheduled for some other time.

do san franciscans have a disproportionately high chance of achieving greatness compared to people in most other parts of the world? greatness here is defined as "having a say, however small, in how the future of human civilization and the universe plays out".

i'm not sure because my amount of say in the world has stayed around the same, from before and after the move. though, i'm sure the percentage here much different than if you were on the north pole.

would you rather spend one day in bed or two days in bed

two days where i'm in bed half the time

Why is there nightlight but no daydarkness?

because shadows have not been invented yet.

lets say you have a tune in your head, how do you know what keys on the keyboard to press?

i don't. and it's a terrible condition. i solve this by brute force, but over the years i've learned how great voice recordings are. you can just snapshot a point in time, just like that. also, there are these pitch identification apps which can help identify the notes one by one.

> can you buy everyone else cars (2025-02-20 18:43)
Yeah sure if they want them, tell them to hit me up...
Anyways, any tips on not being tired all of the time?

if you sleep too long or too short it ruins you. i'm a huge victim to the "too long" side of things. but if you sleep an exact correct amount of time, it helps. i also notice making that wake up time 7-9am and actually getting out of bed by then really helps.

Do you want me to buy you a car?

can you buy everyone else cars

Is your car safe from supermaneuverable air-defense fighter aircraft?

yes because i don't have a car.

When my fiance transitioned, she picked out her first name and had her mom pick out her middle name. It gave her mom the chance to name her as if she'd known she was a girl from birth. It was a sweet gesture that worked out well for them (but I'm not suggesting everyone should do that, of course).

what happened for me is i had coincidentally picked out the same name my mom would have picked had i been born a girl.

Her mom/dad/brother/sis-in-law have been incredibly supportive, but she has some extended family that have been cold/ugly about it. We hope they come around to embracing curiosity and Love one day. Do you have parental/family support?

some but i don't want to talk too much about my family online. mostly positive, some negative. it's all right though.

If so, what's the best way they've been supportive?

just hearing my name does alot to someone

If not, do you have other adult supports/mentors to fill in the gap?

most of my friends are adults so i don't know if that's what you meant or not but they are all there.

if your name didn't end up working out for you, what names would you have tried?

my name was in a long line of other names. i think the next one in the list was amy. i remember i had a set of other names i wanted to try but i know i couldn't because i'd confuse myself with women i already knew, like ashley and vi and surely a ton of others. i also considered the names of every one of my characters and eventually stole chloe's identity because she really didn't fit into any of the plot lines and i was jealous of her name.

the thing about names is you just gotta meet yourself halfway at something you kind of like, because the second half is just foundation building with that name. after a while it feels natural and correct.

When you stare at the clouds in the sky, don't you find it exciting?

to be honest every time i do that i don't know what i want to see. but it's usually calming.

what's the most influential movie that doesn't exist?

influenza the movie

Haven’t been in this corner of the internet in a few years and am very happy to see you doing so well! Becoming more and more of your free and full self every day. Keep up the great work!

it really is every day. new projects hopefully coming soon but theyre all racing each other and begging for my attention. here is some work i was doing with a guitar vst

Hmm… you want a question. What is something (if anything) that you’ve learned about real life friends vs. internet friends over the past year or two?

they could be more similar than you think. but i notice how easy it is get online friends, so i've been trying to balance things out by getting some more offline friends and strengthen the friendships i have with my friends right now.

2025-02-15 02:10
but which one did you do the first time

i don't remember but i think it was chloe.

how do i pimp a butterfly?

i'm not sure because kendrick lamar's lyrics always go wayy above my head.

what's the real difference between the Internet and older forms of communication like the television, the printing press, the telephone, and the megaphone?

age

did you save Arcadia Bay or chloe

i could probably do both

would you rather live in a box but be the happiest person in the world or live in the best mansions but be miserable.

maybe i could live in a box mansion and get the best of both worlds. would that be ok?

What would you never, ever lie about for as long as you live?

the answer to this question

favorite Valentine's Day movie?mine is Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)

i've never seen a movie on valentines day. if i would, i might want to see the truman show, but a valentines special.

do you think people are inherently evil? everyone i talk to seems to try to deceive me, and it feels like they're just hiding their evilness from me. but it always leaks out, so it feels like everyone is evil deep down

maybe that's true. is being nice to people so they treat you nice back an evil thing?

you just have to remember to defend yourself when around people.

we miss you at the college you went to, and think about you often. we're all super happy to see that you're finally happy in your own skin. this isn't much of a question more of a "hope you've been well" - real bitches <3

i miss college a little bit. not the part where i would've had to re-take calculus 2 or take whatever was after that, but all the silly stuff we did. when i deleted snapchat, i downloaded all my files and have a really good photo library (offline, ~120gb, it spans my entire life). i look back sometimes at us. it makes me smile. feel free to call my phone on weekends whenever, those are the best times to catch me.

if you were a type of bug what bug would you be? a hiry one? a funny one? a long one? i think about this a lot. i personally think you would be a moth. for lots of reasons. but i wont tell you the reasons. my favorite holiday is christmas. i love christmas. moths are cool too. what do u think

probably a musical one. as they usually are.

hi! whats the point of asking questions?

to receive answers

Favorite type of fish?

cat would love this question. let me ask them.

they said "salmon!!" and i would agree

a month where a lot of events definitely did happen was june 2018. within that single month, kate spade and anthony bourdain killed themselves, xxxtentacion died, a paper from the grievance studies hoax was uncovered by a twitter account and subsequently garnered attention from the media, the first paper about GPT was published, IHOP pretended to rebrand to IHOb, the mars opportunity rover shut down, ssb ultimate was revealed at E3, black midi's first single was released, sophie xeon's magnum opus oil of every pearl's un-insides was released, macedonia renamed itself to north macedonia, the space kingdom of asgardia held its first parliamentary session, and the mysterious soda vending machine in seattle disappeared. according to my research so far, i don't think any single month in 2020 had as many significant things happen.

i did a lot of stuff in 2020 but those were behind my own closed doors

have you ever had a time in your life that you noticed seemingly unrelated events seem to cluster together or happen in quick succession?

yes.

what linux distro do you use?
i use arch btw

mac os

If you're waiting for a waiter to deliver your food, aren't you the real waiter?

no you're the waitee

what's the difference between deconstruction and deterritorialization?

they probably are different words

yo idk what you're up to now but i found you from phoenix write and im modding it for a different streamer (northernlion) and its sick. i love it.

this is not a question. you should send the results to me and timmy

what's your hrt regimen?

the standard starting dose

how quickly and astutely can you determine the "point" or "meaning" of someone's face just by looking at them?

i'm not sure if i am capable of that at all, to be honest.

hi i got a discord bot for changing color names and then i think i saw that it was actually made by you! im having a little trouble using it, do you mind if i ask you about it?

thanks for reminding me that the bot is still running. all it does is handle the /paint command and generate a new discord role with the desired color. not much else to explain.

what is a rss feed?
can i eat it?

i guess you could print it out and eat it up. that could be allowed.

can you believe january's already over? i feel like the damn month just flew by.

i forgot to do so many things this month but i also did a bunch of very nice things this month. it is a bit scary how the time just flies these days.

this isn't a question... or is it?

the question council can decide this one.

if you were to be fluent at one instrument, what would it be?

keys/piano

2025-01-22 09:08 one major question... how does one get friends... :<

walk or fly around, don't be scared. talk to people.

it's kind of hard for me to answer this reasonably because so many of my friendships and involvement in friend groups happened by accident. a couple months after moving, i sort of accidentally infiltrated a nearby university cs discord server, and ended up becoming very great friends with people there, to the point some assumed i actually went to the university.

imagine there was a repair shop that claims to solve all of your problems, would you go there for every problem you have?

they would probably be lying, but if it was true then yes.

opinions on _Comedian_ by Maurizio Cattelan?

it's pretty reasonable i would say.

ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN CAPITAL LETTERS

let me see what i can do about it

i think ur cool, any guides on how to be also cool and not *whatever the opposite is*?

just put yourself in the shoes of someone, and then realize that you can walk anywhere. but also realize everyone else is walking around too, and that it's more satisfying to walk around with friends.

oddly specific, but don't you think a lot of things happened a lot of events happened in may 2024?

not neccecarily, i went to CVS seems to be the highlight of that month. i also went to an art mueseum.

i wonder why?

maybe you had a different life.

Any tips on starting out with learning compilers and memory management? Good books to start out with?

not neccecarily but i do recommend Zig as a language for writing software in which you are very concious about memory layout. as in, where the bytes are. it's very satysfying to get the memory work done right but it isnt the easiest to learn. just do it a bunch.

rust is also great but instead of thinking about memory layout, they have you think more so about ownership of a structure. they provide so many compiler checks to make sure you follow a very carefully crafted set of memory ownership rules.

havent read books in a long time. the internet is a great resource.

what is the meaning of technology?

ideally, to connect with people.

Is this Q&A page indexed on Google?

probably

For example, if I search for: 'Awesome Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe,' will this page appear?

maybe on the millionth page of results.

When/why did you know you were trans?

i'd been slowly playing around with the idea of acting as a female character in the storytelling/poem videos and there was something about it that felt so cool and so every so often i tried something. then i moved to my own apartment where i had complete privacy with myself, and from there i kept doing that but didn't think much of it. and then in may 2024 it hit me and i was like hollyyyy shit and then around august i realized the feelings truly went back to 2022 or maybe even earlier. i just had built a really good self defense layer to keep me from being sad about it, but that's gone now. but it's ok, since i am a girl now.

i bought a raspberry pi 5 and I forgot my use case for it. what should i do with it?

i recently used my non rpi device (NAS) at home to run a git server. it is much nicer to use than github, especially when you're connected directly to the network cable. though this wont be well on an rpi if you do not have a real hard drive on it.

you could run a dns server like https://pi-hole.net which has some fun stuff i set up on my local network. this thing is also specifically designed with rpi in mind.

are you a >, >> or a | person

probably a combination of reasonable quanities.

have you ever worked with chiptune music (4 channel, 8-bit music to be exact) before?

not strictly. i've used software that are sort of fake 8-bit because its not eight bits but just the classic sounds. if you go back to the 2017-2019 era i have a few music files that are worth viewing.

if yes, then how does a limited amount of squares and triangles give the illusion of music?

you can make the waves any size (i assume?) so it really gives you the power to make anything. it could be music, it could be other sounds. the limit does not exist.

is it true that in order for something perfect to survive in this world, it must move ever farther away from perfection?

there's different kinds of perfection, and different ways to survive. it really depends on what makes the "something" (perhaps "someone") happy.

what would you have to be offered to leave your current job,something huge or just similar assuming it is just as good.

a much, much more interesting job. i work at bun mostly because it's extremely interesting.

how can i make myself actually make music instead of opening up a daw once a month and doing mostly nothing

open and fuck around more often. i need to get better at this too.

what is your favorite muni route?

i think the 30 because the only time i've been on it was an accident and i still got to the place i wanted to go.

2025-01-09 20:50 you peeps can write something that's shorter than 6 minutes? I always start out with too much and spend hours trying to simplify

what i notice happens alot in my song writing is the raw # of things may be dozens of minutes long, but it's vertical: theyre all ideas for the same part of the song. it's pretty hard for me right now to horizontally go past 4 minutes.

actually i have short stuff but sometimes i realize that 3 short songs are actually just one complete song
longer and cooler...what chloe wrote is good
Then bill does this thing called superchorus (not just bill but that's where i read it)
there's experiments you can do with instrumental parts, maybe sound effects, or put effects on your voice
You can put in a spoken part too, like a poem or a phone call
Thoughts?

i think it would be interesting to combine two song projects where one has far too much written and one only has a line or two written.

what are some of your favorite chord progressions?

not really a regular chord progression but the progression that the synths in mystery of life's second verse and chrous.

file/q+a/2022-04-26_synths.mp3

it's nice to have all of everything kind of organized, i can pull up and show the chords here again:

Do you think setting up an e-mail would reduce the non-questions on the page?

yes but i don't think i'm ready for that. but if you want, emailing literally any address at this domain gets you to my inbox.

i'm thinking about making albums that contain songs that are at least 6 minutes in length, but the longest song i've created was half the length and sounded really repetitive imo. are there any tips to make them longer and-i guess-"cooler"?

something ive been messing around in new writings have been to just fly. be completely free. the goal is to make it impossible to categorize the song into distinct pieces, and just let yourself flow around. for longer things you want to have deep changes throughout but still follow a central theme. i have a couple song projects that have very little structure, but they're not very long. ugh! it's extremely hard to define but the more examples you see the better!! check out 24 hours from 10cc and close to the edge from yes. watch the variation and the storytelling.

I dunno if i need to clarify this since it is obvious only this 1 person misunderstands...but just for the record: i did not say you should lower your vocal range and i mentioned eros ramazotti because he's the only singer i could think of who has a nasal style

i get that the normal idea would be not to tell a girl to lower her voice but also i feel like we are treating a superpower as a curse. well it is a curse, but with enough practice, i should be able to get an absurdly wide range of ways to sing. the game is control.

sometime later i want to pull off covering a song that's a duet. and i sing both the male and female parts. so far the hard part is distancing both voices, which i think i can do better if i practice voice feminization more.

Sorry for the non-question again

i forgive you. non questions are secretly okay if i have something to comment on, but that's rarely the case (everyone, please send questions, not non-questions). i had a moment where i called the page input and output, thinking it was genious to expand the scope. but in reality, there isnt anything to say when the input is a statement. its like a SSSniperWolf reaction. like, what am i doing here.

the thing is that the question giving you criticism on your singing referred to you by "he" pronouns. i quote: "once he's experienced enough the song may as well get popular".

they sent a question apologizing for this (funnily enough within an hour of this one being sent). i don't think i even noticed, instead thinking it was referring to someone else. i didn't post that one on this page because it wasn't really a question (i accept the apology though, thanks!!). i've been getting a few non-questions recently and i think the amount of non-questions bothers me more than misgendering.

also telling you to lower your vocal range and comparing you to a male singer. have you tried voice feminization?

i've tried both strategies and they both have interesting results. after i work through some things i'm going to give the entire album a re-record, emphasis on getting vocals done more so than anything else. if we are optimistic, that will be done by feburary or march. if i include a music video or two, maybe its halfway thru the year. idk. i don't want to spend years on one song anymore.

currently, voice fem is hard for me to keep up for an extended amount of time. at work, i do not use it at all (i also forget to).

Hey chloe how are you doing?

i was fine yesterday and i'll be fine tomorrow but today is extremely rough for no good reason.

im sorry to see the negative comments on your singing + the misgendering...

the thing about some comments is they are true, but also i don't know what you mean by misgendering me. those questions dont get published. and if its before the new year then i've replaced them all with a censor. if its after i probably just wont respond to it, but i really haven't gotten any of those. people, even in my family and in the workplace, are all really nice.

i think the way you approach music is very refreshing and original and i believe that more good things will come out of it :D

i'm glad you see it this way but i think i can do just a tiny tiny bit better but i am also happy with it too.

Why did you choose paperclover and not paperchole

to disconnect the art from the artist.

Can you make JSX but good?

sure

Is g still missing?

i think they are right there but also i haven't checked so they might be missing. i miss g.

why am i so sad :(

i'm not sure. i used to get sad and not really know the reason. it's anoying not to know, but it gets better eventually. if you ever meet me in person, feel free to ask for a hug.

if you were to compare the two entirely unreal (fake, fictional) artists, darles nemeni and gerald bruhznick... how would you describe their differences?

"their differences are normal and to be expected" is what i would say.

What's your opinion on guinea-bissau?

medium

Are you a good person

i'm not sure if that's up to me to decide.

i sent you my thoughts on singing

for other readers: this was sent while 2025-01-06 15:50 was in my inbox. i was waiting till i could properly format their usage of newlines before i could respond

, did any of it help?

i think so. after i get the site finished off (basically just going through archives) i want to really dive into album work again. i want to reduce the amount of effort i'm putting into the projects but also make it look like i'm putting the same or more in.

has your left stroke ever went viral?
what about your right one?

i don't know because i never bothered checking statistics on them.

Which came first, power or violence?

power

well yes i like your songs
and i see improvement
that doesnt mean i also think that you need more experience
in fact what i think is hey this song is interesting and an earworm, and when this artist is gonna do a retake of this once he's experienced enough the song may as well get popular
you're already quite good at making songs, its just that it takes time to learn to perform them

i've thought about re-performing some of the older songs. this is very true, partly because the way i write songs is by trying to memorize the ideas over months. that means the ones that make it to production are the ones that naturally earworm into me.

one thing is learning to hit the right note
and i guess the other thing is learning to sing from the back of your throat and not have the voice go in the front or the nose
(although it can also be a style choice, some singers stick with sounding nasal, theres this guy called eros ramazotti who does that)
your voice sounds better when you stay in your vocal range
it's that way for me too
when i try to sing the higher notes i dont have as much control over my voice as i wish i had (yet)
it takes practice and also the right advice
if you feel like you are doing the same mistake over and over again maybe find some teacher that can give you advice

me too.

and then i guess that some voices are just more likeable than others, we gotta work with what we have

overall, this is not a question but i see what you mean.

What is the capital of japan

you should go to japan's questions page and ask this

mr beast flavored

what even is forgiveness?

it's up to the apology acceptance committee to decide

Do you have a blåhaj yet?

yes i've had her since i moved 1.5 years ago

Would you like one?

sure

thoughts on the show "13 reasons why"

have not watched it yet but i'll have to watch it sometime, which will be difficult because i do not have a TV or any show streaming services.

How to be nice? And what things are mean?

this one is fully intuition.

whats three of your favorite gifts?

again can't make an objective list but

opinions on perfection?

it's like a best friend but an evil best friend. it has the best intentions, but inevitably, you need to learn to ignore it most of the time.

When you think about the Artists that inspire you most, what's your top 5?

to many to list let alone rank but here are five random ones i think of right now that have inspired me in some major way:

i might have a hypothesis about what you mean by 'rightness'...but can you give me a short audio of one of your takes that sounds right to you (and one that does not)?

i, unfortunately, do not have any samples of a "right" sound. but you can look for "wrong" sounds by looking through my entire discography, which i am working on reuploading as we speak.

actually, i have two: the song at the end of iphone 15 review and the second chorus of waterfalls.

what in particular do you want to improve in your singing

it's extremely hard to describe but there's just some "rightness" about hearing my own voice back. i used to think it's just missing practice, but i might just be dysphoria, since other people have told me for years that i'm rocking. when i get back to my apartment i'm going to work more on really shattering any last shred of this so i can actually get onto making more music.

what is more scary than death?

never making it out there.

if youtube keeps being bad where can we go (apart from our own sites)

i've seen some nice things on bluesky, but i don't want to add another social media account to my arsenal when im sooo close to getting a rid of all of them myself.

i think sites are really the best thing, but it is unfortunate because you need to know a bit about HTML, but more importantly VIDEO COMPRESSION/SERVING. i just went to bill wurtz' website and its basically impossible for me to play Perfect without downloading it.

the trick to this btw is called HLS. i want to open source the script i used and the video player component because it's so cruicial to posting anything longer than 30 seconds on a website for people to play in-browser.

there's rumble and odysee but they're not big enough yet

i remember trying odysee but i forgot why i disliked it. never heard of rumble.

with RSS feeds i think we can all thrive

You told us the meaning of life... but what about death...

i've already answered this before.

what is favorite cheese

a friend showed me cave aged gruyere and it is currently my favorite but this will probably change as i usually cycle between a bunch of them.

is the line "to know the secret and to answer all the questions of life" a callback to "mystery of life"?

if you want it to be, that is okay with me.

why do you dislike watching your past music videos?

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS YOUNG KID DOING IN THESE AND WHY DOES HE SOUND SO TERRIBLE JEEZ CAN YOU AT LEAST TRY TO MAKE SOMETHING WATCHABLE??????????????

i'm working on it, sorry.

what is the best amount of lanes for an arterial road?

just one more than what was there previously.

how many hours of work went in to each aspect for creating waterfalls?

it's really hard to say because i did not do exact time tracking on the project, i said on discord:

didnt track time for mv but it was produced alongside a full time software engineering career. from september ish to mid december, nearly all the time i had available outside work was spent on it, excluding time around friends. i did have a few weekends where i didnt leave my apartment at all (not even for grocieries or meals) and just grinded on the project. i had a lot of times where i felt like i couldnt work at all.

writing and producing the audio was on and off work from april 2023 to november 2024. not consistently. i spent most of 2024 practing singing not really getting where i want to be but better than before

during 2024 i was working on other songs, and i filmed many recording sessions. usually an hour long, most of these ended in me giving up. it's quite sad looking back at me being so lost

file/journal/2024-09-20_recording_session.mp4

what browser do you use?

i've used them all but currently my favorite is safari (version 17.6)

If you don't follow anyone on twitter how do you keep track of your friend's projects?

direct messages or small group chats, through discord/signal/email. i like the bidirectional infodump more than the one way shout into the void that twitter is. it's more personal. it's more satisfying.

if i find the meaning of life would you like me to let you know?

sure.

Also if you figure out first will you tell us?

i already have.

Can you be your girlfriend? :3

i'd ask her out but i'm worried what she'd say.

what's your favourite dream? mine is being a cow and looking at the grass for hours

i was going to say i rarely dream but it's come up more and more these days. favorite one as of recent was a girl. i forgot what happened, but i remember that one dream as me just being a girl, as if that was how it always was. right now, i have so many things to transition an old identity to the new one. lots of dealing with multiple me's. the dream was comfortable because i was past that journey. and my gender was just a background element. and things were okay. when waking up i realized that fact of the dream instead of the actual topic inside the dream.

after a brief exchange over messenger, i shot them a message a few days later, and they have since left me on read. this was ten days ago. we've only really talked about music so far. what now?

(assuming this is continuation of 2024-12-09 23:56)

not all friendships are meant to be. it's okay. if you want, you can send one more message, but be sure not to spam them. it's easy to make that mistake without realizing.

in general i'm very scared of other people/relationships. i've had some bad things happen to me in the past, and the result of that is a repulsion to having very close relationships. instead, i just collect as many friends as possible. i've learned that not everyone will be a close friend, and that it's okay if things drift away.

now i'm randomly reminded of some time when i was in high school i had a digital arts class (photoshop/etc), where i talked to the girl next to me nearly every day. i got her phone contact, sent a couple messages, and then never contacted again. last year while i still had instagram, i saw a photo posted by her. she's doing great.

sorry for rambling. the point is that things not working out is okay. maybe the next one will go better.

ok fine let me try this: did you know you're cute?

no, this is new information i need to fact check. very cool if true.

ok, according to a friend i am cute. wow.

how snuggly r u

very and it's unfortunate because i feel like i'm rarely around other people. it's like leaving the AC and just living on the roof where the AC doesnt hit.

you're cute

thanks but this is the "questions" page not the "true statements i love hearing" page

do we all still have the same names from the unique name generator?

i'm not sure. i copied the same package and the same question logic. you are incredible-coffee-worm.

year, new happy?

yes, i feel happier.

idk if you are taking hormones, and you don't owe me an answer.

sorry if you were the person that asked 2025-01-01 13:37, i have been very busy and i answered questions out of order.

Its just that i have heard many detransition stories and i worry about you.These detransitioners were fine just the way they were, except they were confused, depressed or had family issues... and they were given the wrong diagnosis and treatment, which was a bandaid at first and then a lifelong regret.

i think i owe you an answer, but i do not owe you my personal life story. to summarize, i've been working through 2-3 years before really realizing i was trans, and that was half a year ago.

Others just thought their body was ugly and felt the pressure to fit in, and instead of being told that their body is ok the way it is and that they don't owe it to society to fit unreasonable beauty standards, they were told their body is wrong.

the beauty standards thing is real and so evil, and i'm glad its not something that affects me. i'm glad people did not forcefully prescribe my identity to me. my favorite form version of someone not telling me who to be was one friend telling me "it doesnt necesarilly mean anything. you could just be curious" before sending me this. that was good.

please watch the hell out when it comes to transcare people, most of them are well intentioned but ignorant, and some are evil and money hungry.Please make sure you do not take decisions which you're gonna regret for more than half of your life, ok?

it's hard to describe how much happier it has made me feel, so i think i'll be okay.

Take care clover <3

you too <3

would you rather, for your life, have a constant of 5 dollars, or have 1 million dollars but you can't make any more money?

1 million because 5 would not be able to buy good chocolates.

are you still aro?

undecided, check back later.

do you take hormones?

sometimes

What's with this redesign?!

vastly simplify the website from where it was before.

ewww

it seems to be about the same website as it was before, though i agree the homepage needs work.

picture this: it's the year 2100. your q&a page is still up. someone asks a question at exactly midnight. the permalink is set to https://paperclover.net/q+a/0001010000 and is pushed to the very start of the questions page so nobody can find it anymore. what would you do

the database is sorted by question time, not url so it would show at the start. for example, this question stores 28929044 for example. if i happen to live to 2100 and still answering questions, it will just add a one to the start, so it would be 10001010000.

also what happens if two questions get sent at the same minute.

it increments to the next minute. this isn't a problem because this site will never get enough traffic to make that a big deal. people have tried to abuse the site in the past, but it never shows up publically, so there is very little reward for when that is done. so no one ever spams.

it used to be percise to the second but the site never displayed the seconds, so i just deleted it with this rewrite of the site.

is there just an a/b/c appended to the end. if 27 questions are entered within one minute how would that continue

no. if i took this route i would just impose a global rate limit on everyone to wait a minute.

i didn't expect this

an etc girl (electronic trans cuddly girl)

Congrats on your self-discovery journey, girlllll!

thank you. it's been a lot of effort to keep things under wraps while i was working. it has also been a lot on my mind going through said journey. i feel really nice now.

Have you watched Mean Girls and Legally Blonde?

i've seen mean girls twice. they're .. really mean. i've heard of but never seen legally blonde.

how did you pick your name?

i had planned a very long process where i would cycle a name per week, with a set of trusted friends. one of the names i thought of was "chloe", because i didn't know anyone with that name, it felt cute at a glance, and was reasonably short and easy to say. so the plan was to do about 5 of these name weeks.

i picked chloe to be the second name trial, and after week two i really did not want to let it go.

file/journal/2024-09-21_paperclover_origins.mp4

the best part is before the name weeks started, i predicted chloe would be the one. in my character design documents, i had a character named chloe that always went by the alias "Clover". she wasn't really fully written out, and if i continue her i'll make up a new name for her.

What makes you feel real in life?

can't say. but maybe.

has anyone asked you "got any grapes?" on this page?

let me ask my past self if they ever saw any

yes, i did steal this from bill wurtz's Q&A.
We are trying to get permission to use the app Scale of Universe in an educational project for an exhibition in Spain. Could you please tell us how to proceed? Who do we need to get in touch with (email contact)?

if you go to the bottom of the page there's a contact button. i don't manage the inbox.

do you plan on posting all your previous videos onto this website soon?

yes

maybe when you finish the music video?

i don't know if i can get all that ready by new years but i'll try. also have to defeat the self cringe at older content, specifically when my person shows up in it.

How many years made in burje khalipha

what is the perfect length for cinema?

1.2hr

you seem to write alot of fiction media, how do you get your ideas?

one day i woke up realizing my brain could come up with thoughts. it's something i practiced through all my past lives and also this one. you can get better at it too i think.

What's the best way you've found to calm yourself when you get stressed and feel like you're gonna be awake for another 12 hours?

drink water. give yourself time to lie down and take a break but not too much. but it's important to re-affirm to yourself that you're going to do the thing no matter what, in 12 hours. if you don't believe it yourself, there's no way that it'll happen. but since you do believe, it is certain to happen.

(im answering this at ~4pm. probably going to be up to 3 am or so trying to finish the next music video today. this question came in at a very good time)

Do You Ever Uses Capital Letters

sure, why not

Is art a selfish endeavour?

in my case it is. i realized that i mostly enjoyed the part of the process where i make the art but sort of dreaded a lot of the publication and distribution process. i hated it even more when i paid or gave something to someone else to manage those points. my favorite part of the finalziation process is putting the finished file on my archive hard drive and cleaning off my work desk for the next thing.

aside from songs and videos, are you working on any fiction?

lightly in my head. though it's something i kind of want to 3d-animate, it might be a smart idea to make the book before the movie.

2024-12-06 23:36 so i talked to them. we didn't end up setting up a date, since they assumed we'd just see each other in another class—(although i don't plan on taking any more music classes in the foreseeable future) (and maybe i was a bit nervous about asking)

i think its natural to be nervous from these things.

—but at least we're facebook friends now. that counts for something, right? …?

i remember i deleted my facebook and instagram accounts a month or so ago after i realized i never used it for anything. but i'm sure if you both use facebook it counts a lot more than it counts for me.

well, thinking about it now, i was very personal on my facebook page. being added on it counted for a lot since the few posts i made were quite personal.

what do you actually think about CS degrees and stuff like that??? is it worth it? in our country we will be sent to a military and waste a entire year in it and it SUCKS but probably better than our fucked up education system. I JUST WANNA CODE. uwuwuuw

what is good is you don't need a degree or license to write code. i think that is how it is in every country; you can just do it. that's what i did while i was going to school being taught non cs stuff. its what i did while taking cs classes that did not teach me cs. and then i got a job before finishing school, and being in the tech industry teaches you a billion things.

do you have a higher degree like some CS degree

no

things to consider or take into account when asking to go out on a date with a non-binary person?

this works basically like asking to go on a date with anyone else, except you can't use the words girlfriend or boyfriend. just friend.

just be sincere. they will appreciate that. or send them the link to this question.

if it helps, i've never asked anyone out in my life.

what is good is most of what you learn now is going to apply to everyone else you meet and ask out, regardless of gender identity.

this question is time-sensitive. (not that i've yet figured out the whole thing about relationships being unnecessary that i was asking about two months ago)

apologies. i thought my question answer page was even working so i didn't check replies these past few days. i fixed it though.

do attachment styles count as love flavors?

they're more like toppings but yeah for sure

what are dog

meow

do you know how to speak another language besides english

enough to technically answer yes to this question but no because cannot hold a conversation

love has flavors, you say? do tell.

it's really hard to explain this since you have to experience all of the flavors yourself to get the real meaning of it. one flavor of love is the juxtaposition from being wanted, recieving attention, and then being scared of it. another flavor of love is mango.

is love from a person who otherwise hates everyone and everything worth more than love from an empath who naturally has a big heart full of loving-kindness?

it really depends on the flavor of the love itself. ask to lick them.

do you ever tell lies on this questions page?

sure

i feel like the time period from 2021 up until now has had a very masculine energy. i see it in the rise of certain well-known podcasters and/or pseudointellectuals. i see it in how people are leaving atheism for agnosticism or even Christianity. i see it in every bookish guy nowadays when they think of American literature but it's actually just the same three or four books—actually, scratch that, i see it in the way most men read non-fiction if they read at all. i see it in the vibes and themes of the kinds of movies that become successful. i see it in how many people have suddenly started listening to country music now. i see it in memepolitics about, for example, soy phytoestrogens. i see it in increasing wars and militarization around the world. am i onto something or am i just crazy or both?

all i think i can really input is that i haven't listened to a podcast since highschool, which i did while doing yard work. i no longer have a yard, so i no longer listen to podcasts. i also don't really pay attention to any of those other things (i remember hearing about the ongoing war but i could not name anything about it. or maybe theres more than one. zero clue to be honest. wait you said wars with an s, oh shit, let me go vault up the chocolate).

so for me, since 2021 i feel like almost the opposite has been happening. the energy is neutral or even feminine. it's almost comforting to be disconnected, when being connected makes me feel that way. maybe you are crazy, but either way you are definitely connected.

make sure youre in control of your data. and if you're not, make sure you have an easy out.

there's a lot of services you can use to host stuff, which also depends on what skills and things youre familiar with. if you're a software/web engineer like i am the cloudflare pages/workers and vercel are pretty reasonable. i run my thing on a $8 VPS, but i'm going to upgrade it to a $6 VPS on a different provider with better deals.

no

what non-song ideas are you excited about for the future?

some scenario and poem videos. maybe longer form content, but that's a stretch

I am wrestling with a notion that is troubling me. I wouldn't call it an existential crisis, but it does touch on a seemingly universal human experience. You see, there is an assumption that no one seems to have questioned. This assumption is that there be a link between the feeling of love or affinity and the action of entering relationships with others. But why should I pursue someone, make them mine, change myself and them in the process, live life with interrelated fates, do all these things, just because I have the ability to fall in love?

i actually questioned this assumption a few years ago. i realized not only it wasnt true, i was happier without this assumption of love i thought i needed.

Heck, why even make friends with anyone? Is it just because I like being around them, because I don't want to be alone? But what's wrong with being alone? Why ask for more?

note that being a human being has the requirement of social interaction. its very hard to survive without it. the feeling your describing are those hardcoded requirements. having good friends is nice though. no reason to avoid it! i have a set of friends i am very close to, and they all sort of fill the role that the people i dated before had. getting friends like that is really hard though, and it's understandable if you think of friends as an avoidable evil.

what color is the sky?

In lieu of a YouTube channel, do you plan to post your videos onto old username.net?

YES, i plan to get everything on the site yeah. i just am super duper busy with work and the new song. instead of doing the whole album i'm just gonna do the first song and take things from there.

this question page is the only thing i really have time to maintain (thank's to old me for making it super easy to reply to questions).

what are your pronouns/want to be called. can i call you he/him or will that upset you. is they/them a better one :)

any of them are okay. i'm still figuring out the exact answer to this stuff.

or... bun/buns!

nevermind the "any" thing, let's just stick to they/them

Is lust just love of the body, or is love just lust for the soul, or is there more of a difference than what my question seems to suggest?

it's a classic "good vs evil" situation to be honest.

What happened to the old username channel? There aren’t anymore uploads besides two shorts.

oh. youtube shorts are a different system. i've removed them from the site as well. i've had a lot of issues with the platform as a whole and i think it's best that i avoid putting my content on the site at all.

When was peak internet?

i hear all this stuff about years which i was too young to really use the internet. so many nice stories about it. things dont seem to be great on the internet nowadays, but i wasn't there for what seems to me like a golden age. so instead, i'm trying to make this question page my peak internet.

How do you journal? Do you write things physically with a pen/paper?

usually no. most of it nowadays is done through audio and video recordings. the new iphone comes built in with a camera and microphone so almost anyone can do it.

if 0/10 = 0then does 0/inf = 0?

no im pretty sure its not a number if these are ieee754 because the zero is actually a range from 0 to an extremely small but positive number. and then infinity is the range from an extremely large number to infinity. like a unstoppable force v immovable object situation, there isnt a sane way to compute the result

oh nevermind it's defined as zero

(also does inf-inf = inf or 0?)

this one is not a number due to the thing i explained above.

can i kick it?

yep

how much % ai are you?

0

as long as it doesn't last forever, yes.

if you were to compare the two entirely real artists, alec normal and drive45... how would you describe their differences?

i haven't heard of alec normal before but i listened to some of drive45's music a few years ago and they're one of those artists where it's a feeling that is very hard to describe and articulate but whenever an artist does it they do it in a different way than every other artist that does it. it's extremely cool.

how often do people ask you questions in gibberish?

it never happens. all questions are completely well formed.

Would you happen to know the Ultimate Question?

it was asked here

i asked you earlier this month (2024-08-10 21:10) what chord progression doesn't work. you gave me F Bm Em Am. so i recorded something using that chord progression. i'm pretty confident that it works. https://soundcloud.com/stellarremnant/f-bm-em-am

i love it

is it possible that there is no such thing as a chord progression that actually doesn't work, or am i getting ahead of myself here?

it's a trick question, every chord progression is both wrong and right depending on who's hands it is in.

ordered maps or hashmaps. one has to go

i prefer combining them (ordered hash maps), so if by ordered map you mean an ordered hashmap, then that. otherwise, remove hash maps. actually, that is just always removing hash maps.

what's the reason things have to fall into another sequence?

maybe the previous sequence those things were in was incorrect.

"C:" or "/"?

on windows you're supposed to use both like C:/ except canonically as a backslash C:\ (but both work). / can be the start of an actual filepath on windows as long as it is a unc share path, which is used for network drives and other things (WSL, and more). the backslashes can be forward slashes too, so for example \\paperclover.net\Asset\Blender\Homemade\cup3.blend could be a file path (this share does not actually exist). now the notation C: alone is a relative path with a drive letter switch, which is very different than C:\ which is the absolute path C:\ (or more verbosely \??\C:\)

on linux : is a stupid character to use in a filepath please dont do it you will only cause problems (mostly because the PATH environment variable uses : to split them)

if you were to compare the two surreal artists, bill wurtz and jack stauber... how would you describe their differences?

i dont understand what you are talking about because both of the options you have listed are entirely real artists. they both exist.

thoughts on how to train your dragon?

i should rewatch and check out the sequels. but my memory of it was that it was very nice and high quality. they had the dragons.

Is culture simply the internalization of a large set of ideas?

i could accept that

Or is there something more to it?

i think it has something to do with people and interactions between them.

Hey man! Have you ever heard of the youtuber "Bill Wurtz"? He's pretty underrated, and makes very similar content to you!

i spent alot of my teen days listening to his music and watching his videos. it's been a very big influence on how i make things.

Wait, if love is an action, then is unrequited love an oxymoron?

no it's just an abcense of the action. it's like saying "i didn't run 7 marathons in a row"; consider that "didn't" and "run 7 marathons in a row", but the word didn't implies that the action was unfufilled. similarly, you could say "the 7 marathons in a row was unrequited", or "i am not loved".

Should we, as a society, collectively remove dialogue from movies, bringing about the return of the silent era of cinema?

no. but i think we can have some scenes which are silent. and other where there are spoken parts. i would like that.

what is something you don't either love, hate, or inbetween?

maybe myself sometimes.

Did the death of Harambe in 2016 mark the exact point our timeline started to get really weird?

no it's always been this way, sorry.

separately from human experience, there is only one of each thing, but subjectively, everyone has their own one of each thing. zooming out, i have my own world just as you have your own world. in attempting to understand the world, our brains ended up creating a new one, all in our heads. we can never be sure who, if any, has the right world, and perhaps it is impossible to. is this a good thing or a bad thing?

well it is possible. and it's a good thing.

Can you appeal my totally legit ban on this website?

On whom lies the burden of proof?

you. it's your turn to prove. i'm tired of it.

do you listen to sad girl music?

yeah when i feel like a sad girl it is pretty effective.

Might it be that the man who came by space ship from Twin Earth could say in truth when he got here "it was good to drink, on my way here, not for the first time, the rich red wine which flows in the streams of Mars, but now I feel sad, for I will go there no more, and soon will die, by the shores of a sea not my own, though it be to each sense one just like it"? If I said that such a man said that, though I said too that what I said was not true, but just a tale, would it make sense for what I said he said to make us sad or glad?

i would feel pretty bittersweet about it.

And would such a tale show that the stuff of his sea might be not of the same kind as the stuff of our seas, though it might be to each sense we have, just like it?

that's a good way to describe it.

do you believe in "fake it till you make it"?

yeah. i am currently doing that right now with 2024's sing + animate game i am playing. the game where i sing and animate something short. i still havent figured out the rules of the game though.

In 2023-07-13 06:01 you claim that a hot dog is not a sandwhich, but https://sandwichcouncil.com/articles/is-a-hotdog-a-sandwich/ clearly states that a hot dog is a sandwich. Do you defy the all-mighty sandwich council?

Is it just me or has AI gotten worse over the past two years even as the technology has gotten more sophisticated?

our expectations grew as we realized the limits of the tech we have. very great demos but not very usable. i have copilot and other code-complete disabled for example. I think gpt-4o will be the same. amazing tech demos, but not really that useful outside of small tasks, and just ripping people apart instead of bringing them together.

I am currently in highschool and anxious about finding a job once I graduate as CS jobs are not very prevalent here. Do you have any tips about what I could do for a higher chance of finding a CS job?

i wish i could give some concrete advice, i basically got lucky on accident. throughout all of my high school career i basically just was fucking around with computers. it negatively affected grades and all that, but i didn't really care because i just loved doing computer bullshit. then i started college, at some random nobody place, as a random nobody person. i just wanted to get through it and get some job. kept doing the same stuff, because school was boring, and ended up hitting a really lucky break after one year.

and while i wouldnt say "throw away academics", i have noticed that the things i'm good at are all because i specifically wanted to learn them, and i spent thousands of hours learning them. and with every thousand hours you put into something, the better you get.

good luck.

go long term. make more games, and teach yourself everything about everything, then you'll either make something worth a lot or be hired out by other interesting opportunities.

Why do all the generative AIs use text prompts? Are there any that use image prompts, sound prompts, music prompts…??

i remember a demo where someone took a photo and a generative model wrote out text. though i think they had text and the image. it just feels easier to add words to prompt what the model is supposed to do.

oh of course.

what level of education do you need to work at jobs like bun?

how to write good code.

Does it pay well?

enough to survive plus a bit extra. i am very content.

As a freshman, i need to look for these things, and find things that i can do to better get me a job when I’m older.

make sure to also put some time into relaxing. i spent a very small amount of time of my childhood doing that and i wish i did more and hung out with friends more before the whole "real life" thing sets in. though, spending most of my time learning computer science and web development definetly paid off– i think there's a good middle ground here.

I go to the same school you did.

okay

If you purchase a work of conceptual art, does that technically mean you're buying an idea?

it depends on the fine print that nobody reads.

i noticed that "winter heartbreak" is missing a full stop.“No way.” I was surprisedand then no full stop; next line.there's also missing/strange punctuation in a few other areas. was this intentional?

probably were all typos. i havent re-read any of my fiction in a long while, and i think i rushed this one for a school assignment. i don't remember.

Why doesn't Wikipedia think The Henry Stickmin Collection is notable enough for its own article?

let me check

whats a good, affordable, and beginner friendly video editor?

these sorts of questions are not very viable because if something is more "beginner friendly" it's likely to have a lower skill/feature ceiling.

i would take the following list, shuffle it, and then run the trial version of each one. try to do as much as you can in a day, and then move to the next one. repeat until you hit all of them. take notes, they are all software i've verified myself at some point to be capable of editing videos together:

some of the above do not cost anything to use, and everything besides fusion has amazing tutorials on how to do everything you can imagine.

the rest of this response is related to how i do things specifically because i feel like sharing some new info:

most of my "effects" and "fancy visuals" are done on fusion. it is my favorite tool for the task but it has one of the steepest learning curves, as well as it being needlessly compute heavy. my older videos used specifically fusion 9.0.2, which was the last free version of the software, before it was fully integrated into davinci resolve. the integration within resolve is not very stable in my opinion, and breaks down when applying it for large scenes. instead of using resolve, some of my projects used a custom tool called the "sequencer" or the "creative toolkit". both were hacks of scripts to programatically render and arrange lists of fusion compositions. this is how the entirety of mystery of life's video was produced, including the 3d scenes.

newer video like the iphone one were made in resolve because i did not have the sequencing scripts in working condition, and i was on Mac OS which i had not ported all that code to fully work on.

i'm currently in a giant rabbit hole of computer graphics, so we may truely get a new tool for doing graphics. it will most likely have to be paired with a real video editor, but it would be a way to do intricate text graphics and composition, leaving stitching of these clips to the video editor program. i'll have more info on this throughout the year, especially as the album progresses (still doing only audio and it is taking forever)

do you have separate playlists for different moods or do you just have one big one

i don't have any playlists i just use the shuffle all button.

is discord even that good?

it's a neat word. oh you mean the website, it's pretty solid.

is there a "sorry, you've been blocked" screen for when you get blocked on here? if so, what does it look like?

there definetly was a blocking system at some point but i forgot if that is still in place. i have not had the need to block people in a while, though some questions are extremely odd or offputting; i just ignore these and do not place any form of a ban on them. people who spam the page also get the same treatment, i've found that since there is no visible feedback from abusing the question box, no one actually does so (it is also very rude regardless)

Question 50: How many people are there named "zun"?

at least 1

is there any side effects to dying, or is it completely safe with no repercussions...

i thought there were more than 100. but yes i am a part of the population.

i am absolutely fascinated with this website and this page and i was wondering what made you want to make a qna page in the first place, like i feel inspired to make my own, its so fun

i directly inspired this page off of billwurtz.com/questions but there are so many more examples of these, one of them that comes to mind is sean altman's talk page, where the most recent update to it predates my entire life.

edit 2025-01-01: wow, sean's website was redone, replaced it with the archive.org link

i'm not sure yet.

Are masculinity and femininity even real?

sure, if you want them to.

If so, who invented them, where do they live, and what is their weakness?

it is a construct of your own imagination. you decide how it is.

And how do we destroy their inventions and repair the damage they have wrought upon humanity?

you don't have to destroy any inventions, but rather change your headspace. and be a bit more wavy with things.

DID YOU SEE THE GUMMY BEARS????

let me check

If you were to describe yourself as a unicode character, which one and why?

a character? which kind? a grapheme cluster, or a code point, a code unit, a glyph?? all of which i choose ‍.

Do colorless green ideas sleep furiously?

i think natalie would say yes

this is a question to see your character limit... i wonder how high it is because that would be funny if you didn't have one...

it does

i hope it is high so that i can be nice and use lots... anyway is old name a good person or is he a robot...

human

if he is a robot, does that mean that this q&a is just AI responses...

no it's handmade

maybe that would explain how old name can answer so many with quality answers... wow i can still add things... so why did the bunny cross the road..

probably as part of winning the race

, it crossed the road so it could see the bun through the windows and get exited that its releasing soon...

true. i hadn't considered that

speaking of which is the old name exited to finally finish that and not have to use windows again... or does he secretly love windows over mac but doesn't want to offend anyone...

i can't take an operating system seriously if it is possible to open (and take keyboard focus) an application but it appears under other applications. i develop over SSH on a macbook because it is saner.

i think edge is the best browser for linux because it is made by the 3 best techs... microsoft, google, and linus...

that is alright. edge isn't bad.

i wonder if old name will become fancier and somehow even better than him... will i get an answer to this or will this be looked over... something makes me think old name will be sad when reading this because too much text... what is your favorite meme

the chess square tier list

, is it the one where something happens...

all memes happen. it's a fact of life.

is nextjs better than astro or should i use php with bun... should i even use bun instead of node... is bun even going to be profitable or is it going to be sad soon... why is serverless called that even though you need a server... should i send this now or more words...

these are all up to you

any good movie recommendations... any quality books you have read... should i read books or are they bad for your health... is discord better with mods or is it mean to discord... can i get banned from the internet if i be mean to it...

sure

what power does the sea have on everyone... can i wake up in the morning and forget everything that happened the days prior but still remember my first day... did you know that 1+1 actually equals 1+1-0 because maths... do i need to know maths to be good programmer... what age is the best to be... whoever is reading this, what is your name... i wonder if it is an ai as that would be funny... is ai good or should i consult stackoverflow for my help... does the overflow of a stach help me with irl advice with talking to others... should i hide in my bedroom and not communicate irl... should i even communicate to anyone... should i even write and send this... if want, can you role a dice and share its answer... how big can your answer be... does it have a limit or do i only have a limit... do you have ratelimiting or can i just make multiple questions instead of one big one... or could i be fancier and make lots of lots of text... if you are still reading this, here is some fake money... $0... i hope you enjoy it...

please do not donate to me.

is github the greatest invention to devs... is cloudflare stealing my data as its so free... are you trustworthy... what does it mean to be a good person... how do i learn quality languages to contribute to the big bun himself... how did you even achieve such good job... are you just that great at life... how is your music going... will we see some of that in the bun 1.1 release vid... i hope so as its just so good to listen to... ok i am running out of things to ask and say... can i ask if you have any pets... do you have any virtual things that give you joy... what is the meaning of life... what is life... what is thinking... am i real... are you real... is earth really flat... is the moon cheese... can you summarize all your answers of all questions up until this one in 5 words...

no, they are too unique.

can you summarize this whole question into one simple question in 50 words... what were we made for... if i want free everything, what are the best online services... what is the best place on earth... why was fish made... which terminal is the best... is go the best programming language to exist because its got quality mascot... what is zigs mascot... does bun have one... should i add typescript to my project or is plain js better... is esm or commonjs the best thing invented to javascript... is js even that good or is it just over hyped... is tailwind any better than inline styles... could you rebuild this site in a day without looking at current source code... when will we be able to just think and a program or website is made to our thinking... hmm i think the limit is 5k

it is not but whatever the limit is or how many questions you send, you need to keep it on your concious mind that i am going to read the entire thing. you should feel extremely bad about yourself if you abuse either of these things.

so i shall try to reach that... i will tell you a story about a person named lol... he laughed all day and couldn't stop laughing unless he stopped... this made others program a feature to embed into his brain and fix the issues... instead he got ads everywhere... this made him depressed and stopped laughing... i wonder if thats a good outcome... anyway what are your thoughts on that... could it be reality...

surely

my last question is what excites you about life and what makes you wake up in the morning ready to do the best things imaginable, is it you like doing it or is there something more deep that gives you that sense of inner piece like being focused on a task...

the fact that it's possible

that was my last question so i hope you have a good day and enjoyyyyyyyy

thoughts on 🐰 and bun.sh...

it's alright

are you the bun?

bun

i have no idea if you remember a question asking about geometry dash and i think portal 2 like years ago

you must be thinking of 2021-09-28 16:35 which seems to be a response to 2021-01-25 17:14 which was a response to 2020-06-14 18:51. of course i remember you.

, but i think somewhere i said something about gd 2.2 and your excitement on the update, now that it actually (suprisingly) came out, what are your thoughts about it? have you checked it out?

it's exactly what i thought it was going to be: a game engine. it's great.

i basically only played with the editor. i did not really look at what anyone else made with it. something about a fire in a hole.

i lost interest some time after because i wanted to get back on the album but it's a great game i could spend a few more dozen hours.

would you rather; go out with Tom Brady, or have 1 million dollars?

i don't know who tom brady is so i'd rather have the dollars as opposed to meeting someone.

the simpsons said i shouldn't make assumptions. is that true?

it would be paradoxical to assume either answer here.

how do you learn zig and any tips or advice you can give me to learn it? : )

just count to three: 1 2 3

though it's more about learning the concepts of writing code, because once you learn it learning other languages is easy. i learned zig very well in a few weeks, and i think i learned the majority of rust in two days.

How are you doing today?

i don't remember

my favorite character

should i clap my hands if i'm happy and i know it or is that not really a good idea actually?

i don't think there is any harm in trying. though since it gets tiring, i like to take "clap breaks" every so often, usually while a performance art takes place, then i clap afterwards. this helps reduce fatigue in my hands.

Will you be my valentine?

i'd prefer to be everyone's valentine, in a fake world where nobody exists.

"Hey old name, what's the secret formula for your songs?"

too many vocal retakes

-P.S. Sheldon
Follow up q&a from Lando :pHey old name! (if i may call you that)

last i checked (it has been a while though), old name is my name. let me double check to make sure this is accurate

yep. "old name M Caruso" is the full name i go by, though i think "old name" is good enough for informal, or if you're a close friend to me, there are some other nicknames i enjoy.

ty for answering my other questions, I'd like to ask 2 more if that's ok.

i wonder

1. What editing software do you use to make music?

it depends what project you're asking about.

2. I recently turned 16, got any advice?

have fun with your life before you get to college and you have less time to have fun, and before you get past college where you have even less time.

learn things you want to because they're enjoyable, not because you'll get views.

i have a ton of other things i could say: suggestions on what exactly to spend your time on, things to avoid, software to use. but i wouldn't feel comfortable saying them to anyone besides 16 year old me. it's up to you to decide what you want to do with your life.

like if you want to make art and be an artist, just do it. though i would recommend starting as absolutely small as possible (think to the good old 1 word bill wurtz songs), and then scaling up from there.

:p
should i make a fudging video

i think you should make a video without fudge happening.

Once upon a time, music never existed. How do you feel about this?

unhappy

Silly q&a from Lando1. Do you think your album will gain popularity from people whom you may not know?

i dont know. it doesn't really matter to me. as long as i make it and i enjoy the result, that would be a success.

2. Do you have a guess/estimate about when the album might release?

probably immediately after it is fully finished.

3. What genre is the album? (If you don't mind answering).

old name music.

Could you list at least 5 things that you think are otherworldly? You could list more, if you want to. Or fewer.Do you have a grilfriend?

if i'm being honest i don't remember

how would you feel if i spoiled any media that you didn't want to be spoiled about?

it probably depends. you should spoil something for me and then gauge the reaction.

what is something you're neutral to?

exclaimation points

who/what are your literary influences?

probably the world wide web

die hard 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?

i dont know what this question is asking

Smallest thing in the world

atoms

is the world worldly?

no, but it contains a lot of words, usually within books, and that makes it quite wordy. to which, in my opinion, it is close enough to worldly.

do any questions get redirected to auto-response pages?

that sounds like a weird thing to do considering the point of this page is to ask me things. it should always direct to me.

what is your stance on vocaloid songs

what about them?

I am the person that reminded you to update the copyright on the homepage to 2024

no you are not.

what are your thoughts on steamboat willie now being public domain?

average thoughts

i know some people have asked this multiple times, but how do you feel about AI music?

i don't think it's good enough but in the event this stuff takes over the world i'm just gonna keep doing my own music because the interesting thing about music and art for me is the process that the human took to create the media.

i found some ai things interesting because of all the steps the human took to make the ai do the thing correctly, and i think the art there is the process less the result.

if it becomes more widespread on platforms like spotify or youtube i'm going to pull my content off of their platform.

why did this website shutdown today?

i made a configuration mistake then forgot to fix it. sorry for the downtime.

Do you find love or does love find you?

it finds you and then it eats you

I've been thinking about caterpillars and the things they don't know; all they do is eat on leaves and then they gradually grow. When they pop out of their eggs, do they have any clue what their life will have in store for them and what they will do?

you should ask a baby caterpillar. one of my friends was a caterpillar but not anymore. maybe they still remember.

how many people search up these questions manually in the search bar?

there isn't a search bar on this website at the time of writing.

are you a gifted musician?

i am a musician and someone gifted me chocolate the other day so i think that would fit all the marks there.

How do you dissect the atomic mass of a quadrilateral?

it's by JokerFactor who got the least possible time, 0.0 (link to discord message). i am unaware of anyone else who has done this feat.

why are your answers lowercased?

i could say the same about your question

Can answers end in exclamation marks?

not sure, i'll get back to you later.

are people in general more conventional nowadays than before? on that note, is questioning the world/authority/our assumptions/etc. not the natural state of humanity but rather something that has to be constantly fought for?

its hard for me to know because i don't really remember what things were like before. but i dont think that you have to fight to question the world, you just have to do it. im not aware of much stopping us.

out of curiosity, how do you receive the questions on this page?

when you press the send button a cat runs up to me and hands me a sealed envolope with the questions and then i answer them.

what Font do you Use?

i was going to ask where but i realized i use recursive everywhere.

If you travel in time to the past, do you create a new world or do you create a paradox?

why does yours website lag my computer do i ne

i am sorry. i tried to write the shader on the homepage as optimal as possible but it must not be. if this page is lagging that is because there is simply a lot of content.

As a long-time Windows user, I've actually never used Linux. How is it for you?

i use mac nowadays and it's the best desktop os i've used in my life.

linux is great if you're a tinkerer, and willing to always tinker on stuff. it reminds me of car people like my dad; if their car had an issue the first thing they'd do is open it up. and then unlike me and others, would probably know what the hell they're doing.

and i could do that with linux, but sometimes you just want to make an album and sometimes its worth paying for an unrepairable-and-locked-down-as-fuck MacBook, vs the DIY nature of linux.

again not to say linux is bad, i think its more stable and usable than Windows, but that is once you get it setup. linux is harder to setup and maintain almost always, but i imagine if i touched updates less often i would've had less problems anyways.

in your opinion, what's the hardest job in the world?

retail

where has the internet gone

if your keyboard was made out of chocolate would you resist

chocolate keyboards dont exist because i already ate them. there is nothing to resist.

are you a game breaker?

more often, i think about if the game can break me.

what font do you use?

recursive except for stupid and dumb places you cannot change the font on.

if you could do it all over again, how would you do it differently?

i'd probably go more into the music side of things. learn piano. i would probably do it 15 times all over again that way. but i think its okay how it turned out this time.

What is Chad Caruso to you?

i don't know. sorry.

whats your opinion on the fnaf movie?

enjoyable. i wish it was scarier.

What is your full opinion on "history of the entire world, i guess"

it was like 11pm and i was curious what this "sun is a deadly lazer" snippet i was sent was about and then by 4am i had watched at least 50 of bill's videos. i didn't realize art could be so expressive.

What is the distance between Sun and earth

it depends on the time of year. when people say it's a "new day", they are referring to this distance measurement, not the contents of the day.

Do you experience the Tetris effect a lot

yes but for a billion different iterations of two fictional characters interacting.

apple watch

Is Bun windows stable yet!!!

not yet

where's the lyrics page?!!

the idea is i would embed them into the songs page so you could play the song and read the lyrics alongside. kinda like what apple music does.

never really got around to that, been busy on the album. havent even published the new site layout.

what do you think about vanilla-flavored ice cream?

prefer regular vanilla if i'm going for the flavor alone but otherwise i love it.

Hii

you forgot to ask the question

Have you ever read "The Skibidi" by Dr. Suess?

never heard of it

no

do you ever use your "sentence enhancers?"

let me check

what is your process for creative writing from idea to end result?

still figuring it out, but i usually think about the idea of doing something specific, for months and months, and then eventually have the courage to give it a try and then i write it out, then i revise, then i turn it into audiovisual media.

for the album, which isnt neccecarily creative writing but it also totally is, i've been giving myself a set of steps to follow and i've been stricter than i usually have been about following the list of steps to the letter.

do you enjoy school

i don't go to school so i wouldn't know

Why can't I just muster up the courage to tell them they have the wrong number?

how would you teach a baby to write "hello world" in python?

when you focus on something, say, visually, do you focus on its color, its size, its shape, etc. (and can focus on anything) or do you focus on the mental concept of that thing (and can't focus on it if you don't have an idea of what it is/know what you're looking for)?

i focus on the feeling it invokes, or the symbolism of the thing, less of what the reality of it actually is. it's more comfortable that way in my opinion.

is any/every action that is undertaken with the intent of making yourself more likable a fundamentally manipulative action?

if that were true, would any action taken to make yourself more hated (such as: kwebbelkop) have the opposite effect? i don't think so. it really depends more on the context of the changes you make to yourself, and what your secret motives behind them are.

some people change themselves to be more likable because they want to like themselves more.

found this site via color discord bot. anyways, does a set of all sets not containing itself contain itself?

it contains half of itself, on average.

do you have any advices for someone who's unwillingly walking a path way different than the path they actually want (they have to(

sometimes some paths are physically impossible to cross. just remember that it's usually possible to walk in both directions, and hopefully at some point you can revisit the more interesting path.

also, check for fog. sometimes you'll find the unappealing path actually leads to something interesting, but you just cant see it yet.

what if i arranged words in concentric circles to be read from the center out, except i left a lot of empty space?

i did that once i think. it was very effective. try a variation where you're actually behind the circle and everything looks backwards.

i love you but no thanks

let me ask her if this is true on her question's page.

so, how's the site redesign going?

i had to rollback everything because the q+a page did not let people type in the box for some reason.

otherwise i dont feel like porting over all the old pages. might make the site much more minimal. might make a blog.

Whatever it is, someone in the world is doing it. Or at least it used to be that way. What happened to make people stop seeing things as valuable in and of themselves?

i'm not 100% sure but i think is related, even just a little, to the new copy+paste technology culture that rose half a decade ago. also "content" culture.

True or false: In science, ideas are not proven or disproven, merely lent credence to or discredited.

True but paradoxically I could not actually prove this is the case, so False.

I asked ChatGPT to predict the names of your following albums. How do you feel about this information? Here are the names if you're curious:"Circles""I'm Sorry I Haven't Touched Base""mysterious song of summer"

this one is so close to a title of a SONG in the album.

"a year""bite"

overall these were all pretty good but a human can write way better ones.

if you worked on a big video project that had animation, music and text, would you keep everything in one folder or put the animation in the Blender folder, the music in the music projects folder and the text in the text folder or sth, and then make shortcuts to those folders inside a main folder

In the past I had a videos folder and then a folder per video.

For the album I have: ~/Album/logic/<song name>.logicx. Logic is great because each file is basically a zip file of all song contents, samples, etc.

For the videos of the album, I'm not fully sure but i feel like it'll be ~/Album/<song name>/<scene number>/{program name}/file.ext

do you know the way?

this question is like the whole premise of the album.

your onion on crying?

of course

every word on this page is the name of your albums for the next 50 years

that is not true

have you ever come across an artwork content etc someone else has created thats very similar to something you already had in mind

yes

which you thought was a completely original idea?

i think of these as like higher level concepts like "a spoken word moment within an otherwise music packed album" and when i think of these i almost always follow the thought with "i'm sure someone's done this before, but it's definetly not very common"

and if you did what was your reaction like

i'm always so glad to see it's possible.

me and a friend talk about this stuff alot when thinking about each others ideas and theres a word i feel like they use alot. like one day recently i was talking about one idea related to video publishing and they said:

Thats genius. Is there precedent for that?

you have voices in your head?

correct. one of my songs actually is partly about that (you recited one of the lines almost exactly)

your onion on old username

is too slow at producing hit albums

is this a question, or is this an answer?

How to learn english language

how long have you been answering loaded questions?

my whole life. right at the start they asked what i wanted to be when i grew up but they didnt tell me any of the options, and kinda just thought i'd know.

have you ever made a maze

yes, it is called my hard drive.

follow up question do you think "maken" or at least "maden" would be a better choice for make's Past Participle Form. or just anything else but "made" actually now that i try them all out again made sounds fine anyway I'd still like to see what you think about that

should've been "maide"

how do you host your website?

edit 2025-01-01: a lot has changed since this, the site is built from scratch with typescript, sqlite, and my own code to generate HTML. i'll do a long writeup blog post eventually.

so i want to rebuild the entire thing AGAIN

right now it is a sveltekit app run on a digital ocean vps (i had issues with cloudflare workers caching and hanging)

every single thing is dynamically linked to a postgresql database. its a mess and i think this is a mistake since so much content is rarely updated and i think the real solution to scheduling content is not a database but just

sleep <seconds till release>; git push

im thinking of using astro in the future but the fact theres no client side routing is really not doing it for me. i started making my own set of tools for it that solves all those problems but its nowhere near usable.

the site is something i want to work on but ive had little time and motivation as my current life time is spent doing these things

working on the site or framework is like, too much code for my life workflow right now. perhaps. maybe a spark of motivation will happen.

in the future it will most definetly be running on bun/oven's hosting service but that doesnt exist yet.

also

i want to take a note to describe how dynamic the question answer page really is. its the coolest part of the site and the only thing that really needs to be dynamic. each question is markdown code using a forked version of a markdown parser that lets me throw in 2023-08-05 21:07 which is just the text #2308052107 but it seems that code is now magically broken. wtf. why cant it just work.

this stuff breaking is the type of shit that makes me want to write it all over myself with just my code. but thats like weeks of work, especially if i want to keep the site as big as it is. there is a case to just make it a single page

also the cdn

edit 2025-01-01: i used to have a backblaze bucket on a subdomain. instead, that is now https://paperclover.net/file, which is so much simpler. it mirrors a folder on my hard drive. Publishing new files is just running a script. I'll do it right now for example: /file/q+a/20250101221312.png

Why Doesn't My Child Listen?

what android phone brand do you prefer most?

i've only ever used Google Pixel as an android phone, but ive held the Samsung phone and it is very interesting from an outsider. but i think in a few months i'm just gonna buy an iphone. but at the same time i might keep my android phone because i really like the voice recorder app i use on that and i dont believe it exists on ios.

Can you swim?

i can swim similarly to how the pyramids in egypt can be a movie theater. possible, but not intentional or a good idea.

what are your thoughts on the new metric prefixes, ronna-, quetta-, ronto-, and quecto-, added just last year?

i think they are very cool however i cannot find any use i will ever measure anything, real or virtual, with those prefixes.

for distance, i think "inch" or "cm" covers like every single one of my use cases, including within 3d software / virtual stuff. beyond that i'd just measure a distance in minutes that it'd take using the transit system.

4+3

that would be the number of songs in my upcoming album.

too late

"Simply owing to one’s learning that a deed ought not to be done, there is no implication yet that one will refrain from it, and verily in the history of human actions there can be discovered many instances of unnecessary conduct begetting at times malign consequences, or otherwise violating some moral principle, undertaken by individuals of otherwise good temperament despite their better knowledge."– me

i have bad memory so that could've totally happened and i just forgot.

How's the progress on your album, like, in percent?

if we only count the writing phase, 72.5%

if we count the rest of it, i would have to estimate, idk. 20%

aiming for next year but it's really hard to know how long it'll actually take to make it. it might be 2025. but i'm okay spending as much time as it takes so long as i'm not getting trapped in perfectionism.

music videos too.

What's it like to live in your own apartment?

it feels extremely fresh but the place is still a mess as i wait for the rest of my IKEA furniture to ship.

but the general thing is there are bills, i have a job, but i get full control over my life.

liberating

Does it get lonely sometimes or are you good?

so this isnt unique to living in an apartment but for my situation i moved an extremely far distance (Detroit -> San Francisco) so that basically cuts off physical contact to the people i know and love.

Yes, it gets a little lonely because of that specifically. but the idea of living in a place on my own isn't a lonely feeling.

who are you

someone's long-lost cousin.

What themes do you commonly find yourself exploring in your writing and in your lyrics?

my upcoming album explores a lot of negative-but-im-confused-why feelings. also trying to figure out love. also hair.

examples:

oh i

got lost inside a paradise

and

it stopped at every station

but none felt like home

and

i wanna love someone, but i'm locked in despair

life moves so quickly, and i'm almost there

and

oh wow the toast is ready

and

it's a different but sweet and solemn sound

is this easy?

is what? because no matter what you're gonna ask the answer is no. nothing is easy.

If aliens exist, they might kill us as per the dark forest hypothesis; but if we are alone in the universe, then if we die, that's it, no more life. Which is more terrifying: the possibility that aliens exist, or the possibility that we are alone in the universe?

i think the latter is the true one because i usually feel alone in my own home. it's not really terrifying to me though, because i've gotten used to it; so the aliens existing would be scarier.

How was your journey?

i dont remember. i was very young. i know my dad was into computers and he helped me put together this really cool little mini pc and i then just kept going crazy with it. minecraft was somewhere along the journey. so was hacking my wii. windows batch files too, though now i use a blend between linux and macos.

i kind of just kept picking up different things but doing nothing huge with the skills because i didnt have the skills to make anything huge. or the ideas. and when youre a kid in middle/high school just googling how to use react and webpack in 2016-17 it's just confusing and i didnt really understand and either it's gotten easier or i grew but i started really understanding how the web stuff worked. but i also had very random skills in other places like java and c and so on. i also learned php more in depth than i should have but havent touched that in ???. so on and so forth

idk where im going because im pretending to know exactly what happened in my life. also music and videos happened. also elemental 4. also that thing with ludwig. also bun.

just kinda, do what you want to do. make sure to survive too. if you're lucky, you'll win the game.

a reality page

what about it?

will you make a reality or self talk page?

yes. i have over a thousand audio files that can be added to it like 2023-01-08.mp3

edit 2025-01-03: i uploaded a few files to the journal folder, though i feel like one day this deserves its own rendered out page.

since all of the questions are anonymous, what if they're all written by the same person right now?

that would be remarkable

fav song

right now it's "waterfalls" by me

Knock Knock

who's there

you found scribner yet?

nope. gone forever.

I had a dream where this website had a counter showing how many unanswered sent questions are currently pending

Question 8: Is it possible to post files in this page?

no

how to get better at roleplaying? (as in, writing characters, writing appropriate dialogue and good stories)

you gotta get into their shoes. you gotta think like them. everything someone does has a reason; and if you think that reason is "no reason" then theres a reason the character would say there is no reason.

i got on a giant tangent that i want to continue that is essentially plotting out every single thing possible about two of my characters (which i havent really made public, i want to 3d model them and animate and storytell with them in videos, which is why im doing this extensive writing process). and what i've found is i can explain every single behavior and thing about the character since i've established a rough history of the entire character's life. their viewpoints, people they knew in the past, how those people influenced them, their fears and the things they love.

to start getting the hang of it though you probably can just start. just play conversations in your head. people say to be yourself alot, but try not being yourself in these and see if that gets you anywhere. but maybe DO try being yourself; try being variations of yourself.

this is all speculation please email me if any of this works.

how has the album been going?

endless writing phase

Tell me why? (you can't mess this one up)

i don't know why either

what's next??

album

what kind of answer would a person get from a second person, about their prediction of how a 3rd person would answer a question asked by person 1 to person 3, but not revealed to person 2?

hi

good morning

2023-05-02 10:40 oh yeah! one last thing, you can either give the letters multiple color (e.g. A: red, B: navy, C: dark green, D: Dark Purple (Violet, E: Orange, F: Light Yellow 《also the colors i said for the first 6 letters are what you are supposed to do)

you should include ev's changing hair color too

2nd question about that song g is missing is why did you use an uppercase L instead of a lowercase l?

easier to read i think

sorry if this is too much to read -_-

i forgive you.

about your music video g is missing, i was thinking of making that an actual game to play.

go ahead. just remember that g, e, m, are all based on real people who have heavy associations with the letter, in a sense that i often refer to them by their letter. and many other letters are also based on real people but not with the letter matching up.

IDEAS:1. quests from different unicode characters (e.g. numbers, IPA, music notes, whatever the heck you could think of)2. dialogues and games (each letter would have interactions with dialogues of them speaking typical words about g, when going to another letter, they would probably make you do a game e.g. f makes you do a game where you play the drums and beat him and when you do his dialogue goes something like "dude, that was awesome! meet me at `insert location here 《good example: mountains》`)3. boss battles with other unicode characters (basically in some other places, you might encounter some other people in which you have to fight)4. 2 dimensional worlds (as in entering another place, it might become 2d, and in that 2d place, sometimes you can use bill wurtz effects, but it would SOMETIMES be 3d when it looks 2d 《what i mean is the start of your music video g is missing, where there is no singing but just talking about the scene》)

interesting idea. i don't have time to make this game but if you do, you should join the discord and share your progress if that's something you're gonna work on. it would be wild to see a video game using blend modes and layering.

do you ever wonder what life will be like for the last human far in the distant future?

sometimes

how they'll go crazy due to lack of social contact? how long their food and water will last? where they'll live? what they might (not) know about our species's history and origins? how unfathomably lonely they must feel?

that must be incredibly lonely. i sometimes feel lonely by not being near people, but i know that it's possible to see them. this person wouldn't even have the possibility.

will they even know if they're the last one left, especially if we're all living in different parts of the universe?

they couldn't easily prove it.

so many people. thousands. trillions. will all feel the same way.

will they try in vain to create new life to survive them? what will their life and the way they live it say about humanity as our species's story concludes? what will really be the story from the first human in the distant past to the last one?

idk. i'm not the one writing the story. i think.

Question 5: What question should I ask you?

"how has the album been going?"

https://youtu.be/E-LIHqDBQZQ

oh i wrote a piece of software that makes this type of stuff really easy except i dont make it until the future so it doesnt exist yet.

how can i recreate these stunning movemenst using blender? (instead of わ, use a default cube for demonstration)

i don't know, i barely know how to use blender. probably with a few keyframes.

Have we seen the truth, and is it really the unknown?

i think we often don't realize the truth is the truth. this is the source for disagreements and arguments and maybe even wars.

Could it be that the unknown encompasses more than just the truth?

i could see it going that way.

Moreover, is it not true that the truth of the unknown can only be as truthful as the unknown itself?

the answer to this question is unknown

Can we say that this is indeed the truth?

this would be an amazing hook for a song.

If you're in a meet and greet, do you meet and greet at the same time, or do you have to meet first then greet?

no i think we have this backwards. greet first, then you meet them. it's called a meet and greet because these actions are both done at the event, just not at the same time. named out of order because it rolls off the tongue a little better.

How did you learn to create a website

start with windows 7 notepad and then save the file as .HTML. keep learning. ignore browser support. then learn how to do everything properly.

Do you ever sometimes feel like you spend too much time making music or does it always feel worthwhile

both at the same time. its a huge time sink, and i wish i could get projects done faster, but i always think the time i put in it regardless is worth it.

though right now im putting zero time into the music work at the moment so it's not very worthwhile of the time im putting in it. unfortunatly. hopefully production can pick back up by may.

Why did you create a Q&A page

Why is your name old username

someone used it as a nickname for me a long time ago, based on my profile picture being a paper airplane. now the icon represents the name, which represents the icon. so we're kinda suck in a loop. i i think it sounds nice.

edit 2025-01-03: the username used to be paper[deadname], for obvious reasons i simply used my name in my name. instead of using my new name in the username, i decided to pick something similar but not that name, to bail me out from this stupid dependency on my real life. and also since i started in 2018 with [deadname]code, i realized that i wanted to withhold some of the most personal details in my life, though i'm fine with people finding out my name is chloe. i'm even fine with people finding out my deadname is... well, i'd rather not. and finally, there is now a space in my username because i realized i fucking hated when people combined words for no reason. i will lose my shit if i see someone types PaperClover with the pascal casing, like wtf no that's not how this works.

If a person consumes soup, is that person eating or drinking it

it depends if they are eating from the soup or drinking the soup liquid.

is it supposed to be difficult to lust for someone you also love? i am maybe a little surprised to find that the two emotions don't mix well for me, and instead would create an unpleasant cocktail when i try to force them to coexist.

which definition of "love" do you have because depending how you define it that makes perfect or zero sense.

Cogs. Machines. AI generated art.

ai can't generate art right now. i don't think it is capable of that, by definition.

Where does it stop? Huh? What are the limits of creativity?

there are none. creativity goes infinitely. in fact you might find ways to use cogs, machines, and ai tools to help you on your way to making art.

The limits of soul?

not sure. i tried finding the limits once but couldn't. i feel like it isn't infinite, but i didn't look all the way.

In my distress over these questions and... many more... Technology has ripped us from our human connotations... Robots, taking our jobs. Neural networks, drawing our logos and.. pictures of things...

i'm 18 now

Question 1: When you say you had that tune stuck in your head since age 14, are you referring to the first part of the song, or the "I'm 18 now and I'm" part of the song

it was the chorus tune except it was "i'm 15 now" except it was the second chorus only. i then wrote the first two verses later on and then renaming it to 18 after i realized that fit the melody as well, and had a new, much more realistic deadline. i think most of my way though mayday i realized i could totally pull it off instead of it being a song that went to waste. so then the bridge mentioning 14 was then written then as a sort of callback. i think there was another one in the song referencing age 9 as sort of the start of everything but i didnt keep that in and i dont remember what it even was about. most of this song was theorized as a showerthought, kinda evolving over the years.

How long did it take to edit i'm 18 now

so this and the projects before is hard to know because i never logged time like i did like i do now, well i have some time logs but they were for songs before mayday.

i know i worked on 18 right after mayday and balancing with high school life i finished it right near the start of april. no estimate for you

mayday

probably much longer than it should have. this was from december to february and in general i felt like this had way more going on. song had so many wild things and weird things i just powered through.

if i HAD to estimate i think 18 and mayday were both over the 70hr mark for total production time

thursday programming language comparison

probably within one day. thursday videos here were very fast turnaround and focused more on learning how to put audio together without having real audio software. i kind of want to try these kinds of videos again but with vocals and a real set of audio tools, i tried once already.

any thoughts on AI and the possibility that our lives are about to change a lot in the next few years?

generative ai is really interesting and something i want to start using really soon because i have a lot of ideas on how i could apply it to my video making. i've already been messing with a few of AI tools like stable diffusion and whisper a while ago. these two are cool because i can run them without paying a giant company to run it for me, though there's some crazy tools out there. chatgpt is interesting, but alot of people overhyped it. it is a very interesting idea too and i think it's going to be really cool to see the tech powering bing.

lots of flaws right now in all of them (gpt can't code, sd/dalle still isn't great at alot of art) but it's only gonna get better slowly, and it definetly has applications right now. it might replace alot of jobs, but there will also be alot of new jobs and modified jobs where you know how to use these ai tools.

How long does it take for you (minimum) to edit your song? Including importing/inserting your own VFX.

g is missing (2023) took 20(audio) + 15(video) = 35 hours to make. though my tracking on this time wasn't perfect. i need to get better at tracking my time.

mystery of life (2022) took >10(audio) + 31(video) = >41 hours. saying more than ten because theres no way i only spent 10 hours.

it's snowing (2022, short) the entire production from writing to uploading took 10.5 hours. this was a rush but an effective one.

luna (just realized that videos is not on this site yet, cant link) took 8 hours. another rush, not as effective, but quite a wild ride especially given it's context.

i remember off the top of my head money visual cover took over a hundred hours.

so the takeaway here, which i'm also glad you've brought this up since i haven't looked at it yet myself: videos are being able to be made faster. though i have some trick shots i want to pull with davinci resolve but before we jump into new territory i'm going to be fixing this website up alot.

why is there between but no bethreen?

i will check

Why is it always this way?

because the fearful weather says so

Would you like to speak it all night?

i always loved this line because it can be thought of many different things, even something crazy suggestive, or crazy in the exact opposite way like a huge debate with flamethrowers.

How do they choose the fearful weather?

all weathermen and weatherwomen and other weather people go to a giant meeting room. with flamethrowers.

Where has our friend gone?

the flamethrower store in preparation of the weather debate all night. it's always been this way and it will never change.

why is the sky white?

it's that time of the year again.

g is missing makes me really happy. if you had more time, what are some other things that would have been better about it? if you can think of any

the video was rushed alot, but i was really busy at that time and so on. i wish i could've really nailed the visuals on the drum solo because looking back at it to me feels like i just threw up a bunch of colors on the screen. not in a good way. but i mean, it's passable.

i also realized there was a bit to the audio which is present in the song, which i fixed in the video. right at the end. so this and many more small adjustments to the music i wish i could make but i couldn't do because the song was already sent off.

though this project has been a huge step up for me in many small ways. i think i'll only get better. i wanna be able to sing even better.

will ur music ever be on apple music

yes. due to an issue with apple music, they are STILL in the process of renaming me from old username to old username. and due to ANOTHER issue, i have not fixed the redirects of the "/spotify" and "/apple-music" pages.

i've been in contact with distrokid / apple support and i forgot who said what but they both said that the name change was not forgotten about and apple just has a really slow queue for name changes and that they will get to it eventually but it might be many months, and this was many months ago.

edit 2025-01-03: no, please download local files. if you pay for apple music, you can add these and icloud will sync them across devices. i've also attached lyric data so it's almost exactly the same experience.

and if not, will it be available to download as a local file

i am working on the music page right now and it will have my 4 "real" tracks but also 13 more instrumental tracks as well as the Phoenix, WRITE! soundtrack.

edit 2025-01-03: i made the music page but killed it in the new site. give me some more time, and then i will replace this edit with another edit of the new archive music page. unless some intense gender dysphoria hits i will ensure every bit of art i've made since 2018 is on this site.

Things aren't working between me and my shadow. It follows me everywhere I go. Anything I do, it does. Every time I try to touch another shadow, my own shadow keeps getting in the way. Like, ever since me and my shadow got together, I don't think I've physically touched any other shadow. It's clingy and I don't like it. I feel suffocated. How should I proceed?

threaten to turn off all of the lights.

Do you have a tendency to forget information?

i forgot the answer to this question.

Do you like balloons?

only the popped ones.

when writing the lyrics for g is missing, did you make a list of what you could say about each letter and then decide which lines to use, or did you come up with the lines/which letters to mention as you went along from start to finish?

neither. i wrote it completely out of order. i switched which letters i mentioned. some of the letters have ties to real people, such as @M_is_Scared. if i wasn't as limited on time i would've made a longer song that went over every letter there was and what they were doing during the situation, maybe that wouldn't fit.

for a measure of how unordered the song is, i think the last line i wrote was the end of the first chorus: "when will the search end so we can go bring them home"

What software do you use for making music videos and other art?

i said i knew what i was doing but im still really confused on what the best sofware is.

if youre looking to get into stuff, you gotta checkout blender. if you want to know what i am using just to know, for the past few videos ive used a mix of blackmagic fusion, davinci resolve, blender, and custom software to automate pieces of it. i didn't use davinci resolve on mystery of life, and only used it for converting a png sequence on g is missing, but i think i'm going to start using it more in future videos. i used to be not so comfortable recommending my software but i know these two programs are really big and the free version of resolve is free, which has a (albeit lame) version of fusion built in. so you can try it and see if you love it. if you are a really big user of it, consider the one time $300 upgrade; i can say its worth it.

also in some future projects i want to use stable diffusion and some really weird image / video tricks that i haven't actually made yet. please ask this question again after my next few videos go out.

for music i use bitwig studio but you gotta remember that what daw you use really doesnt matter. however, bitwig has some fun built in presets, where if you pick up something like reaper you got to find samples and plugins elsewhere to do anything. i might switch to reaper in the future because its more scriptable than bitwig (not more but IS while the other one IS NOT).

overall, do know that there's more than one way to make art. that's what makes art art. don't copy what i have, or worse, BLINDLY BUY STUFF.

Seriously, g is missing is AMAZING! :) Can you share more insight about the making of this song and video?

this song was thought up after my friend gee fell off the internet due to their life being busy. it was funny to me because they never said they would be going missing, they kinda just did. so then one day i had this Little idea (i would say what day it was but i haven't indexed the whole audio journal, or maybe i didn't write it down idk) ((this is the earliest file i have for g is missing 2022-08-17-19-43-32.m4a and i'll update this question with the true first sketch when i find it))

the song started very similar to how it is now and the sketch idea went until "or whatever it's called." i was just doing shower improv singing and it was fun because that last Line gets so overloaded and dragged out that the voice just giving up on singing and switching to the spoken "or whatever its caller as well giving up on identifying whatever the hell S even had. that was and is so funny to me, but i was laughing quite a bit in the shower at that time. fun stuff so then i thought more and decided "yeah we're gonna finish this on gee's birthday" and then i finished the song sometime at the end of my break between college semesters.

this was the first project i dived into getting VST plugins to work on linux. its a hard setup and it sucks. though i see a really interesting world of new sound i can get through the ones i found/bought. i have windows 10 setup on my other SSD which i am going to do the rest of my songs on since plugin support is way better there and i fixed the big filesystem problem that many have with dual boot. lots of interesting music to do.

i also did improve my voice a bit, but i still feel Like theres ways up to go. final product is way better than some of the stuff i had during production, Like this and this im really proud of a couple of moments like this and of course the drum solo

the video was a little rushed. deadline was inching closer and i didn't fully realize that "releasing in feb" really meant "you only have jan to work on this, and then like ~7 extra days." in this time i discovered a trillion tricks, since "you only have jan" actually means "you also have four college classes." the timing of this is project's deadline was really horrible because it was a day after a math exam and a week after a physics exam, two very hard classes. this project has probably the most extra files with unrelated tests, which i will publish all of them sometime but i'll link some in this question for now.

blender live animation, or whatever it's really called. it's really interesting. here's my test. i use this for the camera in some spots, as well as various objects.

but what's more interesting, taking these renders and then using cryptomatte to isolate objects. that is more interesting. but EXRs load really slowly in every application, so i don't think i'm ever going to do this again. here's what the method looks like, it's the same trick i used in it's snowing and the donut test. i really wish it ran faster but with viewport renders being infinitely faster in every way i dont think i can ever go back to this. and what i mean by slow is <7fps. and there's no reason something that is already rendered cannot simply load into the program. like fuck, my hardware supports 60fps 8k BRAW, though i don't know what this measure actually means.

and viewport renders. let me talk about those since most people haven't. they're fast to render, and MOSTLY the same quality of a real render. plus, you can interesting passes like TimeEvolvesRenderC0001-0551.mp4 which was purely to get the camera tracking to work in the last scene... at that point i was so crunched on time that this and then doing text+liveaction in fusion was faster than figuring out how to do it properly in blender. theres some other places i just use viewport renders because theyre faster to run and still great quality.

and this sort of random video files is actually pretty interesting, and it's making me re-evaluate alot of how the creative toolkit works right now. that code assumes that you have one blender file and one fusion file per frame, and nothing else. which i am realizing is infinitely limiting, but giving more freedom makes it harder to automate. so i'll be exploring those potential techniques with davinci resolve over the next few months i guess. i already did a bit of stuff like with this and this and i hope to do way more in the future.

so much more also happened but this is just what i remember and found in the project files which i am now going to move to my archive drive which will also make the project nearly unopenable now. i guess let's open it up for a minute before all the paths get broken

thanks.

What's the best scenario for the World to be a better place?

time has to pass. but also if time goes backwards it also happens. counterintuitive.

Hehehehe :)

g is missing What happened to the sound of your recent upload

apparently the Youtube preset in DaVinci Resolve does not include audio? i don't know. the DNxHR version i exported to for the automatic-upload-to-website-script did incldue audio. same timeline, same export time. so what i uploaded to youtube after was the webm that the upload script made and not the "youtube" export preset. it doesn't help that i didn't preview it locally but only the other files, and you cant preview a video before it premieres.

also keep in mind i did all this exporting at literal 3am so i mightve hit a wrong key during this.

also i am starting to use davinci resolve again but for this video it was just for turning the png sequence into a video because i didn't want to bother fucking up my ffmpeg options (at 3am). i was also messing with effects and i think i figured out why projects like i'm 18 now were so broken in that app and how to get around those issues.

are you restoring any more questions, or are these all the questions you could find?

all of them, i just have to sort out links and some other details. for example, one links to journal2019-05-06-18-47-08.mp4 which is not hosted at the moment. so im doing a first pass of the questions i can upload. and then ill figure out how i want to upload media files like this (well journal is a whole topic that haven't really started doing. and then i'll make sure to go back and edit this question to make sure the link is a link. this response will look really weird in the future.

edit 2025-01-03: added that journal mp4. i'm really really happy with the new site.

where's scribner

you tell me

Who/what are your influences?

too many to name but the obvious one is bill wurtz. their art really sent the message to me that i could and should do whatever the hell i wanted to. but i'm taking so many other influences off everyone else. influencing off my friends and even my enemies. lots of influence. overflowing, even.

is ur next video a song or non-song

g is missing is both

does anyone still remember despacito or baby shark

yeah

Is life art, and art life?

yes, and then add love into it but keeping a balance of the three.

how many questions do you receive per day, and from how many different askers?

almost the right amount

About the tags that you can put at the start of questions that direct website viewers to the work of yours that the question is referring to, would you ever consider adding one of those tags to a question completely unrelated to the work that the tag links to?

they're called "references" and they can go anywhere in the response and test video 1 no

What do you aspire to be?

someone who doesn't use a vpn to tour the usa/world and ask questions as 8 different people to this one person online. but more specifically i wanna be someone who makes interesting things with the computer, which i currently do but i think i could do more and maybe i could also have a job on the side so i can pay for the tools to make the art or maybe i can promote my donation page enough to make a living from that but i'm not placing any bets there.

Are art films art or is only video art art?

art is art

what are the titles of some of your favorite works of literature that you've read so far?

feed by m.t. anderson

i just realized a character from that book is, at least by her name, present in my current writing project. maybe that was subconciously intentional.

but anyways i was forced to read "a book of my choice" during high school english class in 2022. i randomly picked this one off the shelf. no other book has remained in my memory as much as this one has, or at least the feeling i got reading it.

i would list more books but i do not recall liking many books. same with movies, tv, songs, and alot of other media.

is everything bad

no

how well do you get people? ("get" in the sense of "understand")

2.5/10

what is platonic love really?

wanting to be with someone or a group of people forever, but at the same time everyone is still their own self. idk, just it seems romantic love shoves all the members into a rigid box, at least traditionally. which is a huge turn off for me.

Is there something that you believe that you worry too much about when creating stuff, or something that you put too much pressure on yourself for?

yes.

light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, deoxyribonucleic acid, or self-contained underwater breathing apparatus?

i don't see why we cannot combine all three of these and get a DNA powered LASERSCUBA.

What's your vocal range?

i have never done a formal test but i know it goes really low and just a little bit up. the next song explores a little bit of this but doesn't push any limits.

on a related note, i've noticed i usually sing in the octave above what i probably should be singing in, but oh well.

this also reminds me of that one song idea that goes really low then takes a very quick transition to a very high part that i don't think i can sing.

ask me again in a few weeks and maybe i'll have a range demo prepared.

is it a day of the week today?

what is bad

it comes down to personal opinion

and why does badness exist?

people have different views on bad and get mad at each other really easily. that's the badness in action. and theres usually cases where neither side is actually wrong but the badness stems out of that.

what if rockold name and paperold name meet up?

this actually already happened but it hasn't been revealed to the public yet.

What's the title of the last book you read?

Calculus: Early Transcendentals (9th Edition)

In your opinion, what is the most beautiful math equation ever derived?

this is such a good question that i feel like i have a really insightful answer but i cannot pull out the MOST beautiful one.

in my calc class a few days ago i learned about integreation by parts, though i think khan academy explained it way better than my class, by deriving the forumal off the product rule, which was really interesting to see.

though i feel like there's probably some more interesting equations that are even more beautiful, but i don't really remember it.

answers&questions? but the last thing this was right before it died was input/output

right so lets clear that up. that whole system was a mistake, and i now live with some consequences of that (in the code it's still referred to as a Message).

the issue with a non-q&a page is, for non questions, what the hell do i say?

and i took it down for that reason but also because i had some really anoying people and my mental state was just not in the right place to be running it. i think i'm better now, and i think the anoying people found better things to do.

mystery of life Why is "Rain" capitalised in "We sit around inside the Rain"? Was this a stylistic choice?

it was.

capitalization is a big thing for me, and i dont understand how i do it either- it's style based on feeling. the way i use capitalization is almost a form of emphasis. like bold and italics, you can capitalize a letter to emphasize it's importance.

proper nouns kinda do this but i dont really consider the rain as a proper noun, but more of a Fancy Concept that's probably a metaphor for something bigger than what it means literally. i don't remember what that metaphor would be and it's probably just something open to interpretation- i wrote that line on my stepdads ipad during dinner at the taco place.

when did time begin?

it happened a long time ago. similar to how gravity was "invented," we didn't realize time was happening until we did and that moment is what we refer to as year 0. so in some sense, that's when time began. but that would mean things happened before time began which doesnt make sense, it's all those negative years, or what some people call BC (before clocks). we could say time began a lot longer but its hard to know when since no one realized the time was moving forward.

sometimes i forget that time exists and the moment that was now was actually years beforehand.

scissorold name is coming after you what will you do. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is the fun right here?

i like to think the fun is in many places. but yes, this place is one of those places where the fun is at. i'm glad you stopped by.

Since the other guy made a follow up, I’m the guy who asked why you were bad at singing 2022-05-11 23:13. I did it because I thought I wasn’t connected to the internet lmao. I highly doubt that it bothered you but if it did then allow me to impart som wisdom upon you. Even if I didn’t bother you this is still good advice anyway. This may sound counter intuitive but you should never take your art too seriously. Im not saying don’t be passionate, what I’m saying is your art should be an extension of yourself, not an emotional tumor on your soul. Think about this, imagine you give a young child a teddy bear to keep him company. The teddy bear may provide him with comfort and a feeling of safety but in the long run it may prove to be a stressor if the child doesn’t learn that the teddy bear is just an object. If the child grows up just as attached to his bear as when he was a baby, then his soul will be crushed if anything happens to it. Or maybe I’m just crazy.

i like this response a lot

What’s your least favorite color?

N/A.

2022-05-13 10:27 Why did you respond in all caps? Also I should have told you that if you suspect you’re tone deaf there’s YouTube videos you can watch. Look up a tone deafness test.

i've since went to them and the results off the top of my head were "not tone deaf" but "not even relative pitch," but there was something more interesting i learned on a tiktok video on accident: not being able to hear yourself, or worse, hearing yourself at a slight delay or pitch shift completely messes up your ability to sing. this is significant because my setup doesn't give any feedback into my ears (i wear headphones) so i'm just singing blindly. so i'm gonna look into all this when i get back to doing music production (currently on a wild code spree)

Why are you so good at singing?

this is the exact opposite of what 2022-05-11 23:13 says and its equally infuriating when i get this feedback. it's awful. though it is a question so i don't know what i'm supposed to expect.

2022-06-08 06:29 can you share your megaplaylist

yes

Favourite songs?

Similar to the favorite song i made question. so the most recent song i added to my megaplaylist is this cool instrumental by bob james Where the Wind Blows Free hold on THIS WAS PUBLISHED ON MY BIRTHDAY TWO YEARS AGO WOAH. actually no spotify says it was from 1977 and no exact date.

If someone asked you what your favourite song you've made was, what would you answer?

it would be me complaining that i couldn't answer with a song that i've started writing but havent finished producing and publishing. but i also think it's hard to set a single favorite one. maybe at the current exact time, my favorite could be "mystery of life" or the song about the meteor, because the former has a really sick groove and feel to it (status=in production), and the latter has overall really good lyrics and melody

wait why is the volar visual cover video got 5.5K views, i remember it got ~200 views what is happening

i don't know either but i remember seeing a lot of traffic went from playlist traffic

do you think you are underrated? if you were to ask me yes

i am ok with the number of ratings i am getting

2022-04-25 22:25 is there a reason why you're waiting 26 days after finishing the video to release it? why not release it when it's finished?

if i did it any time before, it wouldn't make it true.

What do you think the difference is between a theater and a theatre?

it depends on how brittish you are feeling in the moment.

Why rollercoasters and telephones?

i don't really know what it means, but it just felt right. i knew once i improvised that bit, it was going to be in the final song, though at the time it was it's own song and not connected to mayday. i merged them eventually, realizing it would totally fit the vibe.

If there's a shoe company called "Vans", should there be a van company called "Shoes"?

Why don’t you use your platform to spread the word of Christ?

I don't speak any of the languages Christ originally spoke, so it would be pretty hard to do that.

To what degree does your girlfriend contribute to your creative endeavors?

extremely little; i always wanted complete creative control over my work, the most she's ever been involved is for minor details during brainstorms, and seeing what i work on before it's done. also, i'm not dating her now for other reasons, so...

i wish i never got into it; too much time wasted making things way more complex than needed. music and videos wouldve been fun. but hey i get to do it this way, which makes me a little unique.

Do you prefer music without lyrics, or lyrics without music?

i think those are both very cool things, you can also try lyrics with music. three unique things to do and i love them all.

Hi old name!!Will you gradually move away from the bill wurtz-ish style and make your music videos more and more different, or do you feel like this style suits you well enough to justify keeping it?

i feel like i've already moved away enough, maybe it was so gradual you didn't notice. i know one visual thing i want to emphasize in my videos is building alternate worlds and putting myself in them using greenscreen tech and motion tracking. not sure if this key difference is visible much but it's my intent and where stuff is going to head, but i first have to solve some workflow stuff related to videos first.

If the former, would you do it to evolve your content into something that's more personal, or something else?

i believe it's already a bit personal but i'm not sure how i could explain how

Instead of singing in your songs you should try talking angrily and using an effect that makes you sound like your voice is coming out of a walkie-talkie.

Why do you use social media

i really have no idea. it's stupid.

I’ve got a big old crazy idea. What if instead of “answers and questions” it was just “message and response” wouldn’t that be less restrictive? Also it would differentiate this page from bill wurst’s questions page. What I’m saying is you could drop a sentence ending in a period and it wouldn’t be weird.

you might be onto something

2022-04-14 02:40 Also, I noticed you have a SPECIAL keyboard in the Framerate Issue video. The one that has a RED key, multiple gray colors, and a wheel thingy? What is it?

the speed editor, it came when i bought my copy of fusion/resolve.

Also, I apologize for anything bad that may have come from me asking the "why are you so good at singing" question, I did not intend to make anyone, including you, upset.

if it was upsetting or annoying enough, i would have not responded to it. many questions get thrown out this way.

I think most people can’t hear relative pitch. Idk much about music but I’m glad the video helped you. Are you open to new ideas?

maybe if you sound like the parrot, then the parrot will sound like you.

Your response to the good at singing and bad at singing questions demonstrate a high level of maturity and non-stupidity that I honestly believe is not present in 95 percent of internet users. Never forget that an empty compliment is 1000x worse than a wholehearted insult.

of course

On the topic of improving, have you found out if you’re tone deaf or not?

I MIGHT BE

Are you a fan of Don Hertzfeldt?

i have never heard of this guy before

Why are you so bad at singing?

i am aware of that and what i've seen so far is it just takes time. if you have practical tips maybe you can get in touch over at me@old username.net and explain every way i'm bad at singing. the goal is improvement, and i had to start somewhere.

You’ve said that your friends bully you about your music. Could you elaborate on that?

i don't recall saying exactly that but what i will say exactly is i think that a lot of people don't take this project very seriously.

Are your songs satirical in nature?

no

Do you like Spore

it's a really nice game

would you ever seek out bill wurtz's technical expertise by asking him a question?

already did. the issue was, at the time (this was years ago) we realized nothing about our workflows overlap at all. even now i don't think that much of our workflow overlaps despite both of us using blender now.

You strike me as a thief. Tell me why you think that is.

whats the next video project?

now that i'm not held by a date for any of my projects i want to have a nice experience making the videos, so the first step is figuring out how to make them without my computer lagging. keep in mind i have high end hardware, so a better computer is not the answer to this.

Assuming everything has a similar quality is there a form of hierarchy that determines how good everything is relative to each other

no, though if you isolate the same one aspect about everything, you might be able to find something that is "better" than another, but there is another property of [things] that you might ignore called "your personal opinion."

why did you close elemental 4?

i don't think there's a single reason in the universe to not have closed it.

what make the car to take long to start when i just putting petrol in the tank?

it needs some more motivation. consider directing vast amounts of electricity towards the engine.

your most recent video is titled mayday and May Day falls on 1 May. your next video will release around 30 April, a day before May Day. one video after mayday, one day before May Day. pretty neat, huh?

this is an example of getting the right answer through the wrong means. there's a much simpler reason why i'm waiting until april 30th to release the new song (song and video was finished around apr 4)

pretty damn long ago. near the start.

what is your ideal roadtrip idea?

hopefully on a road.

ah okay thanks, but i want a laptop currently for the portability. can you recommend some?

don't get something too cheap, or too expensive, unless you know exactly what you are wanting to do with it. check the specifications because if you don't you might accidentally buy yourself something worse than a chromebook in terms of usability. brands i would go to because i know their laptops are decent: lenovo, dell, and apple.

What do you think of RSS feeds? (I like them)

i think they are cool though I have not used them. And yeah, it would be neat to see old username content through an RSS feed. I'm getting to that eventually.

also would you recommend buying your xps? cuz i've owned a lot of dells previously (including one xps) and all of them used to overheat :(

do not recommend, why i refused to give a clear point of what exact laptop model. i actually dont recommend going the overkill computer route unless you have purpose to push the hardware past it's limit. though this laptop doesnt really have too much overheating issues; i remember there was a linux bug or something that led this thing to not shutting its fan off + maxing out cpu frequencies, and damn near preparing this thing to melt. other than that its usually pretty good at stuff but it will not run "cool." if you can get by with a desktop you should do that.

should i play one of your songs at my next gym class

no

cool specs. can you tell us your laptops model number? ty <3

dell models are really weird because there are multiple with the same model number, or i'm confusing them around. i also do not see much point to this. it's a dell xps 15, with really nice specs, from about 2-3 years ago.

meow (how would ya feel bout' da word "meep"?)

depends how high the meep is, it might fall out of my hearing range!

what PC &/or laptop do you use? and specs?

tldr: nearly maxed out

i am generally against giving out spec and software information as it might entice someone to spend money they probably don't need to spend to do what they want to do, but my desktop is so far down the upgrading rabbit hole that only a stupid person would actually copy my setup:

desktop is a custom built desktop around end of last year (one of the worst times to build a computer since i was born), it has an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, 64GB 3200MHz DDR4 ram from T-Force, a 1tb WD_BLACK SN850 ssd, and one Nvidia RTX 3090 Founders Edition, all thrown on some asus motherboard in a Meshify C case. yeah, its overkill. the motive for the highest end gpu was so DaVinci Resolve would run without frame drops, but that is not the case and it still runs like dog shit, i am looking into alternative software/writing my own program. i paid for this using various life savings and a part time job, and took advantage of a lot of discounts on parts.

laptop is about 2 years old and is a Dell XPS 15. has an 8 core i9-9980HK and a Nvidia GTX 1650M. my stepdad bought me this computer for christmas of 2019, and overkilling the specs i asked for.

and no nothing i have has RGB lighting, i do that in post production.

How many keyboards/external input devices do you have? Could you list them down?

i am macro starved right now so its not what you're expecting. idk if these are all considered input devices by your standards but they do input data so:

what font do you use the most in your videos

signika is the one youre thinking of. however, if you're about to just grab it and use it to make stuff exactly the same as i do, think of something else; you'll feel more unique choosing something like josefin or nunito. also i am using a new font on alot of experimental things, across website AND videos, which is recursive, as it has a lot of variable axes and looks overall nice.

edit 2025-05-13: recursive and the name family, from arrowtype.com. it's made by one person, who is very cool.

i will think about this one.

meow (what r ya goin' to do when you're 18)

sing about it, and maybe drink some water

can you ask me a question?

that is physically impossible.

how did you make a answers and questions page?

sveltekit and mongodb (edit 2023: postgresql) stuff. i won't go too in depth to how the structures are defined since that is a currently changing situation and is in itself very complex.

edit 2025-05-13: sqlite

when you send a question, that goes to a sveltekit endpoint that throws your request in a database. when i go to the question respond page, it then shows me the question requests, i type a response using a gui editor (for doing multiple paragraphs, and so on), then send the resulting answer to the question database. the public pages just pull from the database and so does the search.

edit 2025-05-13: this is still true but my site uses hono and very few other dependencies.

Do I have to learn Svelte? I heard that Svelte makes it easier, but complex Javascript URGH!

you of course can go the entire full-stack adventure that i currently have, but if you want a lower tech solution, you can utilize free form systems like netlify forms / google forms / discord webhooks, then you just push a new version of your website with new data. this can be combined with what i mention below about svelte.

the scripting only gets as complex as you let it. you will see there are quadrillions of benefits of moving to component based website construction, and if svelte isn't your style you also have react and vue. there's some other frameworks too that you can look up to build your website, but i do know react is a gold standard that isn't going anywhere (unlike sveltekit being very experimental; they changed a bit of how API routes are written so that has been one of the many blockades i've had to deal with updating my site and getting the new homepage out). now, one of the benefits of this component based architecture is the fact that once you have a component for displaying a question, you can move it out to a database, and from there you can do anything you want: easy permalinks, search, and more!

edit 2025-05-13: since then i learned to become a much simpler woman. you'll find the search link doesn't work. by making the site simpler, it became faster. i deleted pagination and put everything on one, fast loading page. no longer did i need a search page, but rather CMD+F on your keyboard.

i hope this basic outline helps you, but since you seem to not really know javascript or svelte, that would be your first start (or react + next.js, that is a really nice option too)

how to read 500 words per minute is my favorite video of yours because I feel like you really nailed your own style with it, how do you feel about my opinion?

it's really really really really really fancy and i would answer with a really really clever joke but i do not know enough about them and im tired right now.

is it ok if i steal ideas from your website?

make sure to feel original when doing so. there's one thing i'd like to see someone else do which is what "the vault" is, cause i don't really plan to do anything to that (i don't really see the need to hide too much, and the vault was really off-topic anyways)

svelte vs react?

react is an industry standard and svelte is really nice to use. if you're looking at going into the industry react is a must but if you wanna be on the edge of new technology give svelte a try.

Any tips on making my website accessible? (as in accessibility, like, for screenreaders and such)

basics: run lighthouse and see your accessibility score

if there was hypothetically a twitter "quote bot" dedicated to you would it be weird or welcomed, or both (be honest)

it would be a little odd

which wave is better, sin(x) or cos(x - (π/2))

sine waves are always my favorite no matter how identical cos(x - (π/2)) is.

i've only driven the f150 and maybe a chevrolet. i'm not too into cars and with the limited experience i have with the 5 above, this is going to be very biased/wrong. i can definitely say that they all definitely drive.

how is creative tool kit going?

horid. im using davinci resolve because it runs finally but halfway into making mayday i found that it doesnt really run. or to be specific it hates my current graphics card's 4gb of VRAM. i'm looking into the newer ones but they are a tad of money especially in the current market.

the toolkit is being remade (again) but as a completely different thing, this time looking at actually streamlining the video production process instead of overcomplicating it. the first thing i want in it is the ability to take an mp3 file, then annotate EVERY point in the file where something happens: lyrics, accent percussion, random sounds. then be able to drive all keyframes off of those instead of having to manually place them ever time, as that is the main killer for time i think right now

theres some other plans that build off the marker tool for animation and recording but ill consider the possibilities later so i dont overwhelm myself

but but but but. that isnt happening yet. my next video has a very time-relevant deadline that i cant just push a few days later, let alone months or years of development and theorizing. so THAT music video is being done right NOW with the same shitty tech we made mayday on. i improved my voice a bit and the general song production process, but it still is nowhere near perfect.

please ask this question again in a few months thanks

Did a letter G actually teach you chord science? If so, it might be one of these outcomes:- Gee, a person on the Bill Wurtz server

yeah it was this person. it went like this

fun fact, i also used a photo of some of their concrete in the mayday video.

i don't know what you are talking about but everything has been real the entire time. if you are refering to the fact im posting more on instagram about the production process, i have been able to work on the arts a little more due to school's exam season ending. i plan to get mayday's video done within the next few weeks. im feeling generous, here's another sneak peak photo for people seeing the questions page

Are you a fan of new Canaan and I’m crazy it’s raining

new cannan is good but crazy raining is a song i love so much.

In mayday what is the thing that the children are circulating when they play outside

my girlfriend called it a megaphone, which makes sense as it is what the words are coming out of. you could picture it as whatever other addiction kids are getting into these days (i for one have no idea what stupid thing they're doing)

how's your financial situation, if it's not too personal? how do you plan on being financially stable while still devoting so much time to content, without going into too much detail if u don't want to

its not that obvious but im currently 17, nearing 18, which is extremely nice because i don't have many bills to take care of. my family is quite financially stable, which is why i don't have to spend a large chunk of time working a job to pay stuff, etc. i plan to go to college for something in the computer science field, as it's what i love to do and i'm highly proficient in it, and it just so happens to be that that stuff pays ... a lot. at that point in my life, and also during college (later half of this year), i will definetly have less time to devote to content but i really hope that it will still have SOME amount of time, that way i can get stuff out to the world as i have a lot of ideas in the song writing department. what ive been trying to do for years is automate parts of the workflow so that making things is a quicker ride, but that so far has proven ... less than effective. maybe things will change and i will succeed in my attempts to automate stuff and making videos will be snap snap quick (still many many hours, but less than say 30+ hours per minute of video produced). and of course i accept dontations but you obviously cannot pay bills on $22 a month or something. but im not paying bills with my donations yet; instead that money is going towards a savings account that i cannot really interact with (it's deposit only, unless i get a parent to unlock it for me, which this is only because im a current minor and this restriction clears in a few months). against my will this account was setup, which i think was really smart of my parents, as there is a very healthy amount of "starting adult money" i guess we could call it (will not be sharing actual numbers). i have withdrawn from it only a couple of times, most notably to purchase the current desktop computer i'm using, which felt amazing because it was one of my first real purchases of magnitude, out of "my" own money (slowly collected over years of gifts and some part time work).

it's good enough you probably shouldn't donate to me, as i dont ever plan to rely off that money in any sense.

also i will take this time to say i am thankful to my parents for being nice people and practically giving me the means of being able to produce old username not everyone gets that chance and i feel bad for them. and since not everyone gets the shot i have been given, i might as well go as far as i can (what the idea of old usernameis).

what programming languages you used to build Pheonix, WRITE!?

it was written as a sveltekit application. the project is in a really weird stance of "being remade as a different game under the same github repository except i haven't done any of that actual work so its basically the original github repository with a different name but this is the source code for the game you might be looking for.

when is the graveyard

what's the funniest scene in the video for the mayday song?

you decide that one

any new songs planned

many

Can you list down all the random sound effects used in the "mayday" song?

just look at the source file, it doesnt let me copy and paste it.

is anybody currently fangirling/fanboying over you

maybe you are

Do you have any fanboys/fangirls yet?

i know at least one, so i would not be surprised that there are more.

apple music coming soon? no rush tho

will hit stores hopefully by next week

was the old "source_audio2.wav" file on the old site related to old name's Tanks? What is it?

it's an audio file related to old name's tanks, yes. i forgot what it was for though.

was the person you refer to as "you" in mayday directed towards anyone in particular

in alot of my love-like songs where i mention a "you" character, it's going to be something like someones True Love, and while i would say that the person is to be unknown, i am currently dating someone so that "you" person would be her. if i wasn't dating i'd still have written the song like that, and it would refer to a person i havent met or doesnt exist. if you want to be a fangirl or fanboy or something, you can picture youself in that spot.

also how did you get the DD/MM/YYYY format for discord message dates, im australian but it defaults to american MM/DD for me

settings -> language -> English, UK. I am not in the UK but i prefer the dates that way, or well i truly love them yyyy/mm/dd but that isnt an option.

is gee open to teaching another aspiring songwriter (i.e. me) chord science or is it just like a friends only benefit

i think that was only because they wanted to help me specifically, which was really very nice. if you are gee's friend you might be able to get something but as with me they are very busy nowadays.

Why doesn't every section of your songs have 4 measures? eg. mayday "Buildings robbed through the town" and "zombies on the internet" each have 3 measures.

i don't remember being told that 4 measures was the required amount to make a song. but what i do know, is the song feels so right at the timings i wrote / imagined, at least t ome

Even worse: In i got this thing the first section with "makes me smile everyday" has only 4.75 measures?!?!?!?!

i dont feel like going back to the file but i don't believe this measurement. it's two parts four lines each.

how would you say you did for the mayday song? did it turn out good or bad?

i think it's good in a progression sense. i'm going to be working on improving every aspect of it in my upcoming projects (i have more song ideas).

Is your song intended to chill to?

it's intended to be enjoyed

the song is a HUGE BOP. Where's the MP3 on your website!?!?!

because i havent actually finished the website it doesn't list the download url for it, but it does exist mayday.mp3.

Can you post the lyrics to the Mayday song?

lyrics.txt

old nameGOOD IS YOUR NEW SONG

MAYBE YOU ALL SHOULD LISTEN BEFORE SENDING QUESTIONS ABOUT IT

how does the mayday song end? does it end abruptly like in the "I'm scared" song or properly like "and the day goes on" or a bridge that goes into the end like "mount st. helens" or something?

how about you just listen to the song lol.

Can I have permission to use your website code?

no. it's only for learning purposes.

Why "life in 476"? Why not 2022? Why not 1920? Why not 2099?

a year low enough that you can't relate it to real life (humanity did not have smartphones and time travel devices in the fifth century), but it also holds an interesting story in it of itself. for example, it's a leap year.

Hello. May I have permission to write a song about Capslaw and have it featured in a special official level for the game?

you have no idea what the game even is, so no (it's a lot more than what you think)

2022-01-06 03:32 OH for an addition to that question how about your Paypal? what's the largest donation value you have received on your Paypal?

zero dollars. no one has donated yet.

can i get a progress bar for the mayday song/video?

no

2022-01-02 20:33 no, i meant for THE LYRICS. what do i do there. i want to avoid underestimating/overestimating you.

with the other things, this just takes time to master. but one important thing is whatever you write has to fit into whatever the music is, or the other way around. i think the easiest way, but only since it's natural, is to write both at the same time. but then once you have a melody, you might want to repeat it with different words; at that point it's a game of what fits. also literary devices that you may have learned in school but now you're the one writing them.

in your opinion what's a common point of failure in Pheonix, WRITE!? in my opinion it's the Y += mx13 thing or that stuff.

the fact that the timing's you have to press keys do not always line up with the line in the game. for example, in capslaw the rendering of all this is changing heavily so the line or square that corresponds with the letters will let you see EXACTLY when to type keys. another issue with the current way stuff is visible is the speed changes variably, this is so the spacing between words is the same (though timmy added a lot of manual space); in another project of mine that's using this typing mechanic, we got a very simple solution to getting a constant speed line + normal looking spaces between words.

does Pheonix, WRITE! have level editor?!?!?!?!?

yes but if you want to use it right now it then no.

any plans for you and your girlfriend?

yeah on monday

will you ever make an rss feed?

once i get the everything list done, i'll probably get the discord webhook and rss feed going up (yeah i've had this planned for years just never got to it)

edit 2025-05-13: paper clover dot net slash rss dot xml. it's on the homepage for safe keeping.
Does a circle have 0 or infinite sides?

it has 24

what's the most creative part in the mayday song and/or video?

the fact that it's being made at all.

2022-01-01 01:19 how did you get a girlfriend?

she kinda just looked at me and things went from there

programming tips, for beginners? im a beginner and i want to know more.

just start somewhere. i learned a lot of my stuff by making games, then learning web development off of the basic knowledge i had. thing is, you can't really use GameMaker 8 anymore lol.

2021-12-26 19:59 Other than text floating, and everything abstract, is everything else going to be REALISTIC??!!

no

2021-12-27 03:34 But in the new instrumental break, I'm transitioning to a new scene. So I can't think of anything that makes sense with the previous scene. For example, "summary of the day out at sea" is a totally random idea in the money visual cover, it just JUMPS to it.

What do I do there then?

its not actually a random idea. it's a connecting point to the next scene that i had with the bridge. and the scene before it ends out on a dock next to water. all you gotta do is ... insert something sensible that connects before and after. take the viewer on a journey, but get them safely home.

2021-12-27 08:58 W O A H ! How did you do that??

i asked my friend jonas and he asked his cousin matteo who asked his wife tracy who asked her non-binary friend alex in which they replied "i dont know".

2021-12-26 20:04 how many amethyst blocks did you place

are the enemies in hatred island supposed to be spiders (top-down) or aliens with antenna and legs? (side view)

you decide.

how does the hate system work in hatred island? at what values of hate do the monsters spawn, and how?

i forgot how it works but i know it gives you a good head start.

2021-10-06 10:47 Mmmmm, tasty. So how does that taste to you?

any social interaction tips, perhaps?

favorite song?

it changes every day. right now it's that one eminem song from long ago.

Is the mayday video gonna upload on a THURSDAY? If not, what day will it upload?

maybe. it will be uploaded when it's done.

is the mayday music video gonna be the next video you publish?

maybe

when you put elemental 4 in the graveyard will it be how it was except not being able to use online features such as adding an element?

it will just be a description of what it was and contain file downloads and other links.

2022-01-17 21:09 Is mayday actually going to feel like the first thing you have actually published, to your point of view?

no. first thing i published video wise was test video 1. but it actually goes farther back to times i don't remember

for some reason the Game Maker Studio 2 source code for Hatred Island only has the yyz file? if I'm right it should contain all the assets.for example: take the github source code for Undertale: https://github.com/marciniuk/undertale. it has folders for the assets.could you change it to a zip file, containing all the assets?

for some reason the person that sent me this question hasn't tried to open the project. yyz files are compressed projects that contain all the data and assets.

does hyperlinks work?

they always do. do the destinations exist, sometimes!

My friends hate your content

what content. i havent published anything in what feels like the past forever.

because I keep bringing your content up. What do I do?

stop bringing it up

Plan on doing a Jack Stauber visual cover?

consider making music with EarSketch???? https://earsketch.gatech.edu/

i tried before it was pretty bad compared to using a real piece of music software.

2021-12-10 23:31 no, i meant put psuedo-pages like these on a website or something

they are called url parameters in the thing i use.

For some reason, in money visual cover, the phrases "good trade" and "train ride" that you used seemed to link together. Was this intentional?

no

why is there a large lowercase letter "s" on one of the buildings during "i can see where all the money in the world has gone" in your money visual cover?

because its an S building. that one i dont remember being a reference to anything, but "nate headquarters" is the name of one of the wifi networks i connect to sometimes.

what is the jinglejangle gang that Know Art mentioned in one of your videos and how do I join it?

i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about

476?

it's "password"

Do songs have to rhyme?

no

why are there 3 people on the donator hall of fame even though there are only 2 people currently donating on your patreon.

because donations. there's actually more than that list but anonymous.

no

if so, why

some cool crazy person donates like 20 a month or something. i think they are very nice.

how to uh

uh

can my static site receive questions like yours

yes! look into netlify forms, or cloud function-based routes so you can handle a form submission. in the old days, i did this for my site, sent the questions to a discord webhook, then had my static site handle generating questions on the page. the system wasnt the best since you had to rebuild the ENTIRE site to publish new content, where that is no longer the case.

how would you feel about somebody writing a song about you?

it would be an interesting feeling, i guess.

thoughts on tubas?

not big enough.

old name pressure got to me and now i'm writing a song about you, where do i start?

an idea, sketch it out, put it in a daw, add chords, add drums, add stuff, add voice, add add add... then win. it takes forever

have you ever laughed so hard at a question or one of your own answers to a question?

yes

how long have you been with your girlfriend? Would you trade them for chocolate?

no since they are a source of chocolate.

how the heck do you find the time to maintain a committed relationship with your girlfriend, and do all of your creative stuff, and spend time with your friends, all while still being in school? i'm impressed (and also slightly envious)

sometimes i [yawn] ask myself that.

Hey old namer gifts as an artist are so sublime, I may very well be moved to tears!

are u gonna add Auto Answer questions

i don't know what that means. questions are asked so that you get a human answer, not an automated response.

why am i obsessed with you and your questions page

because you want to know.

what was the BIGGEST impact/influence you've made on the bill wurtz server? (example of an influence: the visual cover term)

i didn't know other people besides LunaPogi used that term.

were you the one who brought programming to the bill wurtz server?

i don't know.

what if you change the world, but don't like how it turns out.. can you change it again?

nope. the key is to not care, but not everyone says that's a good idea.

are you gonna start an ARG

who says i didnt already start one that you're already in.

when elemental 4 back

when you make a time machine

how feminine are you

not enough to be called feminine but not masculine enough to be the stereotype.

is there gonna be a documentary/tutorial/video about programming soon???

no, but there will be details about how THIS site is programmed since that isnt a resource people have put online yet.

are you and your friends enchanted to Fun 32767 yet?

no

best scene in the money visual cover, in your opinion?

there's so many uniquely awesome things in that video, but for the sake of a question i'm gonna say the part with the 10 lights circling around "1000000000."

WHEN do you answer the questions?

when ever

Approximately HOW fast do you answer questions?

minimum time: 12 minutes, maximum time 8 business days. if you're wondering why the recent stream of questions have been answered so quickly, it's cause im currently deploying new changes to the q+a site and i need to test it out, which means digging through questions.

How can I just... RANDOMIZE. Like, think of a RANDOM idea on the spot.

peanut butter but its made out of lego bricks

old name, I am working on a new Visual Cover and there is an Instrumental Break that lasts for like 12 seconds or something. What do I do in the empty spaces without lyrics in a visual cover?

fill the space with what makes most sense. i've found that this is actually not the easiest, but it is possible.

who started the visual cover fad on the bill wurtz server? was it YOU?

i didn't know there was one. as far as i know, i coined that term.

did you inspire any people?

yes

how long have you been writing songs for and do you have any general tips

i know one of them i made the melody when i was 14 or so. i have yet to get any tips besides the audio recorder method.

why is silly saturation so silly

sillyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[on plane] HEY!! There's a passenger here who paid the same price as you did and he would like a taste of richness. What do you think?

How long you been coding and what all do you know

learning as a hobby for 8+ years and i know a little bit of everything but most of my skill points are thrown into web development.

is the mayday music vid going to be REALISTIC????????

no since text usually doesn't fly around in real life

hi does this thing work now

which thing. i forgot.

yo old name what's cookin'how many days have you already worked on the mayday music vid

too many, but it's becoming such an amazing production. taking a small sanity break around the holidays to catch up with friends and play some videogames, but i am focusing my efforts on something to publish around new years that shows off a bit of what i've kept secret.

amendment to the render question: should i use EEVEE or CYCLES?

its a style preference. some scenes in my projects use eevee, some use cycles, some use fusion's software renderer, some use it's opengl one.

what if... old usernamewas all just a d r e a m ?

it wasn't

oh no has the money REALLY taken over you in the money visual cover

spending wise, yeah.

why is javascript bad

it literally isn't.

best render settings for rendering in blender? (eg. file format AVI JPEG or AVI RAW, quality of AVI JPEG, etc)

we use cryptomatte so 32-bit float OpenEXR files are required. since those get huge (20mb per frame), if we don't have any vfx planned that needs cryptomatte we just use png sequences. alpha is included only if we need a fusion-generated background. i have no experience with blender exporting to a final video but a similar approach can be used. hope this helps.

Why the f*ck does the Earth sit on a Cube?

so it doesnt fall off

Will there be any cubes in the video for the Mayday song?

many

have you ever been called boring

yes

What are you gonna do for Christmas?

chocolate

what is christmas

an official us holiday

When will the mayday song release

when it's done

what's the plot of mayday

there's something going on in the city

Why is it always this way

you tell me

did you PURPOSELY start the "banana jenga" to stop people from knocking over the bananas again? (but they still knocked it anyway)

no

2021-11-20 14:48 just a bit of constructive criticism here, i noticed the piano that echoes the vocal melody drowns out the vocals a bit, especially the words "always this way". like you can still make out the words, but they're noticeably much quieter than the piano. could just be my headphones though. that being said, i'm still super excited for the song/video and to see you grow as an artist in the future. good luck dude :3

I will take this into account during mixing.

2021-11-10 04:17 where can i listen to the "mayday song" mentioned here? idk where to find it

when i finish it you can find it on the music or videos page

HOW many times has anybody ever knocked over the bananas on the table in the tiktok vids

3

How do I animate something like this: https://billwurtz.com/artifacts/render20200602053115.mp4

with blender

Do you ever ask questions to your own question page

only to make sure it works. if i have to test if the question publish code works, i just delete the posted question after responding, but if i need to test if the request sender works, i can hit the funky "delete" question in my dashboard.

Do you ever just-

all the time

Hello?

Goodbye

paperclover.net/q+a/20211215220632 Apparently, I know that "URL parameters" are ?key=value&key=value etc. What are THESE ones?

the thing after the ? is a query parameter. this gets confusing quick, so the framework i use only refers to the /route/[param]/etc as a param and the other as a query. read more how SvelteKit handles it here. they're also called slugs.

is this Q&A site opensourced?

no. the source will be made available around new years but that will not make it "open source" because the license for the code is gonna be really weird (to prevent people from rehosting direct copies)

are you gonna purposely use The Licc in your next song

not planned but i totally want to throw a lick in there.

are you going to be putting something CREATIVE in your next song??????

yeah

old nameMom is annoying and claims to be my "die-hard fan" where she just keeps asking me about my next Video or whatever, just to make me happy. I talked to Mom about this and she said that she really IS my "die-hard fan".What do I do to stop her from annoying me?

get someone else to be a competing die-hard fan and have a "who is the biggest fan" battle.

or just politely ask to not.

do you yes

yeah i'll be doing a visual cover of a yes song in the future.

Best video you've made in your opinion?

i didn't make it yet.

Hey, old name. I have currently been having trouble with my life. Every day, I'm sad about myself that I spend a lot of time on the computer with no time for useful activities/other stuff, with the knowledge that I am going to die one day, and I don't wanna live a life using the computer all the time.What's your best advice for this? Thank you.

you've come to the wrong place since i'm the same way, but i wouldn't consider the computer to be a non-useful activity. to each their own though.

why is it always this way

because no one offered to change it.

thoughts on [[THE GUY WE ALL HATE]]

we hate that

is there gonna be an upcoming video with like calming music and all your moral values and life lessons that you have learnt in it?

yes

how did you get so many friends irl

i forgot. i'm an introvert so it makes it more confusing.

how many bananas do you have

gave them all away so 0

opinion on bananas?

good

having fun lately?

way too many hours on minecraft with friends (loving the new caves). it's causing content delays but whatever

how many friends do you have

i lost count but more than 1 so that's healthy

how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood

a healthy amount

will your next song feature a bass slide

no

will your next song feature a groovy bassline like in bill wurtzs songs? please, I'm starving

you will be the judge of that

Hey old name, I just dreamed that your song "mayday" was out last night and it featured a NEW art style that suddenly swooped across everywhere... and all the musics on the music page had cover art in that art style. It's like a cartoonish doodle style that looks NOTHING like your current style.

sounds cool.

Also When's mayday gonna come?

when it's done

When the music phase is done will you be able to play instruments like guitar, drums, and bass?

i would love to learn how to play real instruments, but the most important thing to play is the keyboard since you can synth up any instrument you want.

why does it say "your question was not sent" when i ask a question, even though you always end up somehow answering it anyway

because a lot of changes with the code are being done and i broke the ui. the new code actually rewrites a lot of api stuff to be really easy for me to fetch dynamic data on the webite....

do you think you're gonna promote your new song/video on tiktok, by posting short & loopable fragments from it? tiktok's algorithm is crazy good at picking things up and pushing them to a lot of people (if a tad unpredictable), so i think it would be a good idea

i do plan to make a short loopable version of the first verse, maybe.

elemental 4? will it ever come out

it already did like a year or more ago?

is there gonna be an "oooooooh" or an "aaaaaaaah" or something in your next song?

more like aaayyyyyy and eeeeeee. gotta spice it up a lil.

what's with the power outage?

my power never went out.

are you a baka

totally.

Is old username going to have lore or a cinematic universe? Are the videos that you make going to be connected? (eg. the thing that you got is canon in the old username universe, also featured in other videos)

maybe

are you going to put a place on your website for all your deep thoughts and moral values and life lessons?

yeah

what's the longest video on your idea list?

the one thousand something second one

what's the shortest video on your idea list

1.5 seconds or something.

do you care at all about how many people see or enjoy the content you create, or is it purely for enjoyment/self-fulfilment?

the self. that's why i havent gotten to making some pages i've linked to, but i'll totally link to the apps page but it will 404 until a few months later when i actually make it. i do that alot. however, earlier i was having some site issues so i did install some analytics to see how much viewership i actually have and WOAH.

2021-11-12 06:28 where can i send you some chocolate?

here

how did you learn how to use chords

i asked the letter G

2021-11-10 04:17 Cool! What songs should I listen to for inspiration?

i really don't know anything for this. i'm too stuck up in my own creativity to remember any other things, but i know bill wurtz was a huge inspiration to me. also yes but they are quite old.

WhAt country has the most states?

you forget that country and state are sometimes the same thing.

how to pronounce j

jay

how do i link to "psuedo-pages" that are not really there, but display another page? for example, old username questionpermalinks™ and old usernameIDs™

question permalinks are /q+a/[YYMMDDHHMMSS], artifact permalinks are /[id].

What's the most valuable life lesson that you have learned?

you never stop learning, and you truly know nothing.

Ayyyyyy, I heard your game got 2nd

*4th

place in the Ludwig Jam! Congratulations, man.Now, here's the question: Could you add a page to show what you are currently doing with the website/old username project?

I already did.

Can't wait for new videos, thank you! BZY BZY BZY-
what's the loudest part in your next song?

-1db

is your next song going to include a special chord?

i forgot the chord progressions already, but it probably has something spicy.

expectations for old username

big

also how and why do you think old usernameis growing exponentially?

it's growing at a constant rate, at least from a development standpoint. if you mean from an audience standpoint; i have absolutely no idea, or care.

show me ur chocolate collection lol

there is no collection it has already been eaten.

Have you ate chocolate today?

yes.

The next song is called "mayday", which means "an international radio distress signal used by ships and aircraft." This could mean your song has to do with distress or is a cry for help.Will the thing that you got in "i got this thing" help you survive whatever you are having trouble with in the mayday song?

you're thinking too hard.

Or is the song not about that?
Are weird questions being posted here? It's bad and I cannot change it. They seem to be doing this on every page with forms, because I saw this somewhere else with a form.

weird questions sometimes come in, that's what the [DENY] button on my dashboard is for.

how many ideas are on your ideas list,

at least 40

and do you think you'll ever do them all

why not

why is the letter "h" so funni

maybe because it's pronunciation is so weird

Is the next song going to be life-changing? Heartwarming? Inspiring?

it's a love and escape song.

oh hey, what's your opinion on going outside? kthxbye

quite cold outside so i'd avoid at the moment if possible.

How can you think of those SUPER meaningful words that you put in your songs?

use your brain, and don't let anyone stop you.

when is the mayday song going to release?

when the video is done

how much meaning is going to come in the mayday song's lyrics?

just the right amount.

what's the mayday song about?

a situation in the city.

meow (what do you think about the trees on this planet)

meow (i like them a lot. if only people stopped burning them to the ground)

Parles-tu français ?

i dont speak croissant.

Stay tuned for 01-01-22

that isn't a question.

how much seconds is your longest video

the longest video on the idea list is well over 1000. the longest published one is about 205 or so.

2021-11-26 02:10 oh no are you actually getting relationships from your content

no

who is old nameorite person

you

hi old namet's updo you have a favorite fictional character or characters at the moment? and if so, who?

why am i short

wrong number.

have ya ever made a game before

yes

what is up my dude

clouds drawn with the grease pencil

so like hows it goin i guess

What dictionary did carykh pick random words from when he forgot to put a Cary acronym and said "Cary... kaleidoscope... hoarder?" I forgot.

sorry, wrong number

Send me the link!

ok

what was the most nonsense thing you put in the mayday song

all of it has sense.

what was the most recent "semi-accurate-object-labeling" that you put in your new in-progress music video? what did you label it as and what did it look like?

i'm not sure what this is talking about. everything is named either the default or what the object would be.

what are the pros of svelte?

there's less code to write vs react, but it's more cutting edge technology that is unstable and new.

any plans to make Pheonix, WRITE! open source or to add more? i love the idea for the game but i've never seen something similar to it elsewhere

it already is! but the game is getting renamed to "Capslaw", a more generic game engine for this style of typing challenge, with "Phoenix, WRITE!" being one of the built-in campaigns. GUI tools for authoring custom levels, cutscenes, and campaigns coming soon, i just don't know exactly when.

i'm excited for the video too! if you're able to guess, what percentage of the way through making the video are you?

1%

have any of your friends/family heard your song already

yes. there's a lot of positive feedback from the people i've sent it to. i am excited for the video.

how do you decide whether to use a full stop at the end of your answers or not

it is hard but it gets easier the more time you spend on it.

and what program for programming would you recomend?

visual studio code. i program with javascript/typescript but you can use anything.

what are some twitch streamers that you enjoy watching

i don't spend much time on twitch or most of social media on the consumption side, except for tiktok, which i scroll through sometimes. i like how you dont have to choose what to watch, it's the opposite of how old usernameworks, a site where you choose exactly what you want and there are no tools that select stuff for you, besides a nonexistant randomizer.

do you have a second favorite food other than chocolate?

yes

do you try other chocolate stuff like chocolate truffles or something with chocolate in it?

yes

who buys you chocolate?

my dontators, my girlfriend, and maybe even myself if i am feeling extra spicy.

i have not.

would you be surprised if bill wurtz's newest song was called "old nameDE"?

yes.

unbelievable.

How do I develop a good melody?

this is hard. i don't have any good tips for this besides to practice and keep trying!

will you fix elemental 4?

no

what would you program if you were bored

an overly complex personal website

have you had oreo chocolate

yes

do u like milk chocolate?

it's okay.

What is this

the q&a page

have you tried changing things and breaking patterns, having them stay the same and making patterns, changing them between staying the same and changing, and changing the pattern to which you make and break those patterns?

yes! I do this alot.

Ps. I like your videos :)

sometimes?

{"question":"why does nobody ask questions anymore?"}

{"answer":"that would be horribly incorrect"}

will you ever release the HTML file or "builtversion" of Pheonix, WRITE! for download?

it quite literally is already released online and open source. if you really care for the zip file i can prebuild you one, but that shouldn't be needed.

true or false: from a scale of 8-3 what is your favorite color of the alphabet

all of the above

When a doctor doctors a doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as the doctor being doctored wants to be doctored or does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as he wants to doctor?

resign.

opinion on svelte?

legendary.

For a response to the PC ISO question (https://#username#.net/q+a/211009211626), that is a disk image, as in a file that would let someone create a duplicate of the drive

i know. my confusion is the fact that i would have one of those for my pc, and more importantly, would share that.

Are you aware that if you use two numbers for years in dates, by the year 2100, everything will go wrong?

i log my files with the 21 prefix. if you're looking at questions, ill just add a 1 once it goes past 2116.

how would you feel if someone started playing ace attorney because of your game?

i think that would be pretty hilarious.

Hey old namedo u write ur songs

with my mind.

any songwriting tips? thabk

you start with a core idea, then develop a really god damn catchy melody+lyrical bits. Look at the mayday song's chorus for example, it's a really memorable melody, with some very meaningful stuff packed in them.

if youre unsure on what core idea is, take a walk outside a bit.

What do you do for permalinks with questions that are asked on the microscopically same millisecond?

adjust them to be one full second later

this is not a question

2021-10-07 23:55 No! I meant... the sizes you use for the headers and stuff! 3rem... 2rem... 1.5rem... 1.25rem...

i didn't even know i use those sizes. ok. dont steal the entire website's code and you're good and i don't really care. but remember to be your self when you make stuff.

do u use pure js to make this site

no

What do you f*cking hate?

limits

am i bored?

yes

are u orangnsfw1

no

an extension from the a dance of fire and ice / rhythm doctor permission email: can i use music bits and fragments like "weird beat" and "another god damn list bgm"?

yes but link to old username.net for those, but i'd be curious what time machine model you have since that page doesn't exist at the moment.

okay, if elemental 4 isn't coming back, what about elemental lite?

at some point ill get my static games back on the server somewhere. probably when the "games" page goes up i'll get that all working.

how do you choose your image sizes for drawings or illustrations, such as the shape men doing a good trade in your money visual cover?

very large. since you can scale them down. heres a breakdown of assets from that scene

what brand/type of chocolate do you mostly consume?

they are all good

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do,I'm half crazy just for the love of you,it wont be a stylish marriage,I cant afford a carriage,but you look sweet on a seat, on a bicycle built for two.

Pheonix, WRITE! is AMAZING. How did you get the idea for it?

the thing on my mind was a rhythm game using the entire keyboard, then timmy suggested we get around the jam's DMCA rule by using twitch clips

how much chocolate energy is required daily for old usernameproduction? (in bars of chocolate)

100,000

Are you going to be making your own DAW for making music??

no

Why is it so hard to have time for everything, and then even if we had all the time we would still be too lazy to do it all.

it's easier said than done. i get this feeling a ton. you think of something and how cool it'l be when you get it, but when it comes time to actually do the thing, it's so intimidating that you cant.

my solution for this is just to force yourself to take the dive, and actually do it. that's how a lot of Pheonix, WRITE!'s features were implemented. i was dreading the code for the duet but i actually got it down in a short amount of time after i forced myself to start working on it.

anyways, ashley is a good example of someone who can force themself to do the task. and v3rb is not so good at this.

Actually if we had all the time don't you think we would all just lay in bed everyday doing nothing?

oh fuck yeah. but that's not how our world works, does it?

when will people shut up about elemental 4 its been dead for months

hasn't it been dead for more than that? either way they will never shut up.

password

username

a question

an answer

what's in X:\Media\Audio and how did you make the sound effects in there (for example the ones in I Got This Thing and Place Your Bets)

i remember mentioning the X:\ drive but its actually moved to C:\Cloud, either way i think the SFX you are talking about are a part of free sample packs, which i have over 30gb of. i am not allowed to share the packs directly, and i forget the origins of a handful of them. this goes for most of stuff in the media store, which is worrying because there is original assets in there that i made, and due to the current organization, i cannot share any of it easily.

maybe it's better i keep my media store private, that way i can feel more original while others have to find their building blocks themselves.

will elemental 4 come back?

maybe if you make it yourself.

what is the treehouse supposed to be?

a cool place to have cool things.

can i answer questions and pretend to be you

no

ok, what specific part of your content/website are you working on now? i am really looking forward to what you come up with next for the old usernameproject, even though i don't know where it'll go. thanks

PROBABLY the software bit. theres gonna be 3 pages to this: apps, games, and nerd gear. they are different types of software, they get their own pages. in the meantime, the next game im releasing tomorrow will be on itch.io

Creative toolkit made it to Reddit!!

hello its clembs. even though email notifications arent a thing yet can you email me whenever you reply to this question

no

How did you meet grace

random chance. we saw each other at a school-related thing and started talking a bit. then she stole my glasses and no one knows if i ever got them back.

if you ask her she'll say we did it over a 5000 step journey to find some bread.

bread?!

make it into toast, unless you're scared.

how did this happen?

svelte

This is sick

just make sure you are not

i like it! my question is: how to know you're in the right path?

because for once in my life i'm starting to like the art i'm making. look at this page and the toolkit and everything!!! it's all coming together... or at least that's what i see.

what's the worst programming language in your opinion?

hello

good morning

Hey old nameyou get your creative juice from Blender? Hmmmm.

now heres the thing, SOME OF IT. i never fully learned blender, and i only really use it for modeling complex things, but "complex" here is a super relative term. i want to learn how to use it for almost everything.

where do these questions get sent for you to respond

to paperclover.net/admin/q+a

is grace your girlfriend

at the moment

I think all your songs need cover art.

I WILL BE MAKING COVER ARTS. eventually. theres a thumbnail property on the artifact data which is percisely for this reason.

This is because some people could use them as a reference to design the levels in 'A Dance of Fire and Ice' and 'Rhythm Doctor'. Without these, the levels might be quite bland if the creators don't have any ideas for design.Especially 'party with the gang of 3', because I'm MAKING that level. Could you make one album cover on the spot for it?
Can you upload your PC's ISO to the site?

i dont understand the question. its windows 11 with intune configuration, not a customized iso.

how do i delete an element in elemental 4?

question how you even opened the game in october 2021. i don't own the domain to it and the code has been archived for months.

help! i'm becoming WAY too influenced by you, what should i do?

a trick i use when i get in this situation is to stop using the internet.

I'M LITERALLY COPYING YOUR PROPORTIONS AND SIZES

i mean so did i. dont we all use 1920x1080 or did i invent that?

Why are you running windows 11? I dont think anything substantial (re switching from linux) actually changed between win10 and win11.

the real answer is someone told me to play genshin impact. i really wish i could've said there was a bigger "trigger moment" to this.

however, after i thought about that, i realized my only issue with windows was speed, and the last time i'd've used it was years back on my older laptop. the thing i use now is an absolute powerhouse of a computer compared to before. and it seems to run windows fine. so powerful pc + 'luck' = i can use windows.

so i decided to try out windows and microsoft services (a friend i know is always raving about how cool it is). they are very intresting. so now i use onedrive, office, edge, intune, the whole ordeal. it runs wonderfully most of the time.

the reason i grabbed windows 11 just happened to line up with the timings. it was gonna come out later in the year so i decided to get it right out of the gate so i didnt have to deal with any more migration pain than i had to. (i was running the early early build of it)

Was it just a general frusteration with the way linux worked?

linux lets you customize every aspect about it very easily. that is a plus but also a minus, because someone like me is going to want to do absolutely everything possible. instead, i'm focusing that energy of customation to the stuff that will actually matter: the actual video building tools, music production, and making this website.

Bad joke incoming: What does a coder like to make his coffee with? JavaScript beans.

i prefer my coffee with svelte components dipped in typescript.

when will you recreate elemental 4

i already did

What is the best feeling you'll ever achieve as a coder? The end result?

being able to get something finally working and also having that thing be the most interesting piece of code you've written (creative toolkit's resource system)

what do you think about constructing radiators using a pc and blender instead of having to use natural gas

it could work.

have you tried putting a soundgoodizer on the master in fl studio?

i have not

only use this under certain circumstances.
how's vs5 going? what's new? what are you working on? KEEP PUSHING ONWARD, TO DESTINY. -justinrewriting the resource manager, so i can do nice tricks like `updateResource(clip, x => { x.offset = 10; })` and it properly works. that was done a couple of days ago and now i have to fix SequenceEditor to use these new nicer apis. also implementing the new renderer that lets me do what the question that talked about the backgrounds.how do you do your backgrounds? especially the ones in text scenes.

i'm deciding how that will work right now, since all of that is going to change - theres another revolution in store about to happen.

regarding usage of your music, do I put "old username or "old nameso" in the artist name? also, how should i format it?

consider not using it at all, or 'old nameso.' im quite sure all the music on old usernameme is properly tagged though.

edit 2023: old username

do you accept collabing with certain people or working in another project

sometimes but i have a tight schedule of my own

yo the man old name plane guy, its me, the guy who said if you are my clone because you also played gd and portal which are my favorite games, well i have good news, im a bit late, and i kinda forgot if i already reminded you a bit earlier, but the 2.2 sneak peek came out! its really cool and im wondering what you think, thanks!

the 2.2 features are quite interesting. i've messed around with it a bit and the camera controls are quite fun to play around with. that and the direction changing and platformer mode stuff. i can't wait to see what others do with it, especially situations where levels' music can be dynamic based on what you do (looping music, alternate routes, etc). if only the editor was easier to use for people, would this be the most legendary platformer to ever exist.

what's your favorite song? mine is https://youtu.be/-51AfyMqnpI

it changes a lot but right now i love this one song from 10cc

are the breads in "top 10000 bread" ranked by an objective measure or by personal enjoyment of the bread (if its arbitrary please dont say so for the sake of the joke)

i send each bread to my friend joanne to rank and this was the ordering i was given.

wha is the music in top 10000 bread video

jazz

Will you make a video on how you created the top 10000 bread video? It would really interest me!

i would like to. for now ill give you the short version: node.js + editly module + partially automated image scraping + ton of rendering time

When are you gonna make more games

soon

Do you like Bill Wurtz's songs

yes

How does one open up their creative juices?

you need some form of brain juicer, but not too fancy of one. you can also spend an hour a day writing on a whiteboard or talking into a webcam or both at the same time.

Do you code in Lua?

not usually but i know the language

teach me your ways... how do you get that bill wurtz style with linux?

it should also be noted i moved to windows 11 as of around july this year. however the core of the process remains the same.

the first step is realizing that anything is possible with software, the second step is not using blender for everything

old namem planning to use scss for my new website because you forced me to. now, how do I use sass or scss?

scss, because it looks like regular css. you'll have a nicer time with it. unless youre a python nerd, then go regular sass. remember, having a css preprocessor and all that is handy but not required

h

that is actually a good question

hopes and dreams, and maybe a google pixel 5a

Hey old namet night I dreamed that your website revamp just finished and it looked AMAZING with animated backgrounds, and like a dynamic thing of some sort. It looked WAY better than I expected.

seems like you got a time machine. cause that's about 35% right

Thank you for existing and making amazing content. Your content is too good to be described in words.Now, here's the question: I've heard that you have a wide knowledge database. I've come to test it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvh-4IR50FsDo you know this song? Because I do.

no this is patrick

what did you do to the ε

i am unsure what you are talking about. i don't remember this website having an ε

Why?

...why not?!

will you get mad about the dream?

when it isn't achieved.

will there be a light or a dark mode option?

i designed the pages the way they are for a reason. for that reason it will most likely not be light/dark

BONUS QUESTION: Will you be using this in your future videos?

i already have

2021-03-16 05:57 Oh yeah? Then what else can you do with them?

you're sending so many questions i'm lost as to which one you're replying to. i'm gonna add to my list to add a literal question mention button so you can link an exact question.

2021-03-14 07:03 Lack of sleep? That's bad. Someone asked me a question about how to fall asleep when you can't, on my website. Here is my exact answer: Try to just... sleep. Like, do nothing and relax your body.

this is good advice

Can't do that? Maybe because you haven't been sleeping early.

this is true

Probably sleeping early could help. Also, no coffee/tea or anything with caffeine in it."

not a huge coffee fan but i do use it sometimes. these are all good tips but my issue is just telling myself that i should go to sleep and not stay up and get a lack of sleep.

What can 0 do?

Question 1: It seems like this qna page goes from a dry spell for >month and then explodes for a few days. Isn't that weird? Just got reminded of the 20-80 rule, which this thread might follow, like 20% of questions is made on 80% of days, and 80% of questions are made on 20% of the days. TL;DR: This thread might follow the 20-80 rule.

a person can only ask so many questions

Question 2: I think it would be cool to have a data page for this qna thing. Would you be considering that?

i dont know what a data page is, arent all the pages data pages, as they have data on them.

How are you getting a constant amount of questions?

i have a suspicion that you're the only one sending them.

Hi old nameust got asked a question from Mr. Antonio Perez Domingo, a lawyer in Madrid Spain.He said that he wanted money. He sent me his email. He said the transaction is 100% no-risk.Is this a scam?

Why are they called Peanut Butter Cups, when the cup is made out of chocolate?

because the cup contains peanut butter. for example: my coffee mug is not made out of coffee.

Ever wonder where they get the seeds to plant seedless grapes?

seedful grapes.

If I drink half a glass of whole milk, would you say it's still whole?

17

why i cant send suggestion in elemental 4?

i don't know.

do you have any advice on how to not be bored?

get a piece of paper / android tablet with this app, and write all your future ideas down so you can do them later.

Have you ever tried Unity?

yes, didnt use it much, nothing much. i like gamemaker's 2d stuff way more than unity, and never learned enough to make anything super fancy in the 3d engine. if i needed to do a 3d game project ever, i'd probably just do it in some web stuff, not sure exactly how—i work best alone and with typescript.

How many questions have you been asked?

a lot

How many have you answered?

i checked and its about 242. i dont log deleted questions, since theyre just deleted. (this also extends to email information, everything about a question besides the final q&a data that you see on the page is removed from existance)

How many weren't questions but you answered anyway?

anything can be a question, see 2020-12-11 08:38, however i have some non question questions like 2020-11-21 14:49. i guess the q&a is just a simple anonymous communication channel with a ~20 hour delay

was i3 a little bit confusing when you first started using it?

a little but once you know what you're dealing with it's pretty simple. whatever thing you use just makes every other computer you're not used to confusing.

Do you sanitise the inputs from this and the email box?yes. everything is escaped and if needed i can modify your qeustion, add *html
woah it's html!!!
* and links to it, and also can do stuff like this where the answer is in between a question, for questions where i'm asked more than one thing.I imagine you do but just checking.
What's something you hate?

the passage of time

why are there so many "Opinion on __" questions on Bill Wurtz's questions page

you should ask him for his opinion on opinion on questions

What do you feel about that Cary made a video showing elemental 4? (I know this happened a while ago, but still)

it was very surprising

What kind of tunes you listen to?

all of them

Are you doing alright?

what a hardball question, i'm gonna throw a hard maybe at you.

if you meant production wise, things are going smoothly but overkill so it will be a while.

What is a window?

a peek at what's outside.

do you play minceraft?

sometimes

What do you think of the other elemental games shown in the Elemental server?

not polished enough but i bet some might implement some of the features better than i did.

old name does 1 equal 2?

i'm sure you're mistaken.

Sometimes, do you bake your videos under the sun inside a clay pot?

no, computers like to work in cool temperature controlled environments

What programming languages/tools did you use to make Elemental 4? I wanna know because I want to make something like that and don't know where to begin. The only programming language I know how to code in is Python.

you can peek how badly it's made here, but it's written in typescript with visual studio code, and uses a slightly custom and slightly outdated webpack setup. whatever works.

real trick is to not begin with a thing as complex as elemental 4. if you're asking where to begin, i cannot say how well you'll be if you try something really complex. but web dev doesnt have to be complex, so i wouldn't tell you to not try javascript and all.

Parlez-vous d'autres langues que l'anglais?

non

What do you think of the Elemental community in general? (referring mostly to the one of the Discord server you own)

the discord server i own, hate it.

what is gauly

probably vaguely spelled incorrectly

Which came 1st the chicken or the egg? I think It's the egg because how would the chicken come to be? It's Somethin to think about.

they both were invented at the same time, kind of how every part of sequencer has to be written at the same time for it to make any sense.

Something CRAZY happened on elemental 4. So I was suggesting an Element. So while I sent the suggestion I see the creators mark request so I'm like " Oh I guess this will become the new element nice!" But I was WRONG because on the new Element screen it showed that the element suggestion I was suggestion WAS NOT the one that popped it it was INSTEAD ONE OF THE OTHER PEOPLE'S SUGGESTIONS!! Deep breath How crazy is that?

a quirk of the voting system is because of time passing, a winner can be decided, and only on the next vote it realizes such, and the thing you picked doesn't neccecarily matter. it still counts you as the winner though. it's a weird system.

How do you decide what to program?

personal needs, or i am bored.

What’s your opinion on the super bowl?

always forget it exists until the day before.

winter 2018 or winter 2019?

ooooh i don't remember the difference. tbh the winters in this state are getting so fucked up i dont even know when they start or end because the clouds do not seem to follow ANY rules anymore when it comes to snow.

why is asking a random person on the internet questions every day become my new hobby?

you should make a question page so i can ask you that, but in general asking questions is the only way to get anywhere. a lot of my progress is asking myself "what if i do this." and now i'm here building a very overcomplicated but minimal video editor.

How was it when you first started programming?

either with scratch blocks, batchfile scripting, or gamemaker 8.1 lite d&d blocks

hello, its me again, is your day still ok

i will check

Have you ever tried coding in brainfuck?

yes

what videos will you make during vs5

long, full of information, and lot's of visual quality. also may be looking into the 3d world but vs5's fundamentals only require the 2d software to work.

are cults tax exempt

i don't know as i have never been in or made one

You can say "have a nice day." and no problem. But you can't say "enjoy the next 24 hours!" and not sound gauely threatening, isnt that weird?

maybe if you had some kind of rental pass that lasts 24 hours you could integrate that phrasing into it. idk man.

whoa there buddy you got a lot of questions

Favorite color?

lime green

Favorite number?

What language should I learn if I want to get into programming? And where could I learn?

You may have heard that it doesn't really matter at all. Yes, it really doesn't matter how you start. Some languages are fancier than others meaning you may have to worry about certain things that you may not in others (data types, memory management, clousures, etc...), but the general logic building part of them is shared between them all. However, different languages may do things differently, so here's a taste of some of the popular ones and what they do differently.

For where, just google something or use a youtube tutorial, as the internet is full of free resources to learn. There's also the mdn web tutorials for getting into web dev which is my sort of specialty and i am a bit biased towards recommending it, but in reality you should choose what area of programming is actually interesting.

What is something about yourself that you wish more people knew?

i don't actually know what people know but the main piece of knowledge i'd need out is i have not stopped making videos i'm just working on a lot of video-production tools and am forcing myself to make those before i continue with any new videos. it's been a big delay in publishing so people ask me about it sometimes.

i also dislike owning dogs.

hi, how was your day today

it was ok

Have you thought about adding a Delete Pack Option in Single Player Mode for the Elemental 4 Remake?

of course, when i get to adding singleplayer mode to elemental 4 you will be able to add and remove them.

If you haven't thunk about it I think you should because it appears that you can only make 3 packs max.

wait i dont know what youre talking about. i have not made the singleplayer mode yet. we are talking about differernt things.

What other thing would you remake if you couldn't manage to remake Elemental 3?

a video editor, which is why that is my current project. it's also not a remake. i think i'm done with remakes, and onto original software/videos.

Have you asked yourself a question ever?

through the question page, for testing yes, but i remove them from the page or press the [deny] button.

for actual questions, i found a faster way where i just ask my brain it without typing it out.

Who asked this?

you

what is a good question to ask?

that's you to decide.

I should probably code something but I don't know what to code.

btw it doesn't need to be useful to others, or even yourself, unless you think you've actually learned enough to try one of those. either way doing things that may be called "useless" or have no real end product, still always yield something invaluable: knowledge and experience. and i cannot stress that fact enough, even if you think you wont. trust me you will.

tldr just make anything, even basic tic tac toe game or a old username question search. (i'll probably try both of those at somepoint myself too)

Will the vault ever come back?

yes

can you make something called "I am Green Sniff."?

no

What is your favorite question someone asked you here? (Or one you really liked)

i forgot a lot of them but i know actual questions are cool but if they are actual questions they take longer to properly answer.

Tell me one oddly specific fact about yourself.

i am a human being

what is your opinion on apioforms?

you would have to explain what exactly you mean first.

why is elemental 4 fun to play

because justin made some rad music that even i cant stop listening to. well at the time that was the case.

why did you choose to remake something like elemental 3?

back in 2018 it wasn't running so i wanted to try to make my own. the result was medium. i'd say the issues around it all came from me telling others that i was making it, and being bugged and rushed that it wasn't done. in 2020, i remade that game, mainly cause filip asked about it and wanted to rerun the old game, which i said "what if we fixed some of the big bugs", which turned to me rewriting this whole thing into the crazy new one it is now.

and is there something you would wish you could change about elemental 4, but you just cant figure out how?

i never knew how to calculate how to display those element trees, only reason we have them in the game now is because zelo made a almost working one, but it has cases that it breaks. if i was zelo, i wouldn't ever even released that feature to the main game, even if the half working solution is better than having a blank screen. i'm just not able to do that kind of thing

this goes to the new thing that people probably just think i don't know how, singleplayer mode. i have everything in my head and all the edge cases figured out, it's just a lot to add because i'd want it to be is a lot more than what elemental lite ever did (the approach i had on this project was way better than either of elemental 4's approaches). the reason singleplayer doesn't exist now is 1. rushed to get the game out of beta, 2. i myself was getting tired/bored of working on the project for any longer. i'm also realizing a lot of things should be changed in regards to code structure (i mean a full refactor where every bit of code is moved again, plus changing the way servers/mods are internally structured).

we have two main lessons with this kind of thing: for the love of god do not ever use the raw dom apis when building something big. elemental 4's ui is built off of this one template file (/game/views/game.html), then querySelector and createElement for the rest. This happened because old e4 and elemental lite started as just the element renderer, and that approach worked fine, until you add a trillion popups, highly dynamic data, and a settings page with 9 tabs (2 were left out of the real game), it is very cancer. my other lesson would be to think more about code structure and if something isn't a working idea, don't stick with it until the end (e4 is a huge mess because theres this folder called shared which does not depend on any node/browser apis, and could theoretically be imported to allow the e4 server to be played on a separate client, but this is a bit too far and not a good abstraction, as this now limits what interaction these apis have with the game itself)

i have a new answer actually as of writing, but the above is an interesting rant / discussion on the game so it stays. i'd want to figure out how to fully stop indexedDB corruption but have no idea as to how it occurs. i've given up and put a test if it's corrupted, and to just redownload/reindex the whole thing.

There's something just magical about the feeling of programming, right? It's not just me?

i got like a billion things to say about this. writing clean code, even if the implementation is messy, is such an awesome feeling.

How are you getting so popular?

i don't know but i don't think it's a giant big deal

and last, is you human?

i am, but the thing with being human is a lot of people don't do that much, and i don't know who would want to be like those other humans.

is eating something that you do?????????????????????

sometimes, i should probably do it now

are you also cool?????????????????????

that's for you to decide

are you old nameso????????????????????????????????

yes i am old nameso. good job finding me.

Why is there a cute face and body on my water bottle? And why does it resemble BFDI?

i knew they were selling some merchandise, but no one would've ever thought of a themed water bottle.

opinion on the @ sign?

it is used in javascript decorators and i love those. the @ meaning "at" is also cool and i forget it's a thing (kind of how & means "and"), and i just use it for email addresses and user+hostnames. i guess just never in the habit

did anyone figure out why food is not free

if it was free they wouldn't be able to profit

also how to do i send a question for you to answer

get a time machine and go back in time to when you sent this question, and watch

what time is it

11:43:46

i saw in another in another answer that you used play geometry dash and portal 2, are you my clone? if so, why?

not sure. but those are popular games though. i was more into the editor aspects of geometry dash which is why i said that, and portal 2 is just fantastic. another game i love and played recently was celeste (got to the start of 7b before is stopped).

i will also let you know if rob releases 2.2

camera rotation and dynamic music(idk if this is set for 2.2) is gonna be awesome

image: what is going on

i have written ~5 virtual pages of plans to implement today. it probably will take multiple days though.

how big can one extend the question submission box?

most browsers should have a resize thing at the bottom right of the question container. you can click and drag it. there is also a scrollbar if it gets very long. i have a limit of 1000 or something characters but i might change that as now that i think about it, it could be larger

yes

also do you like shoes?

yes but not like how some people are addicted to them.

oh wow. you have a website,

this thing? you have no idea what i want to do.

how are you doing?

the usual answer to this i believe should be good but i don't think so.

does an album have to be music, or can it be marshmallows

i'd love to see your marshmallow album, but i think we're both joking. here's a real idea though: albums of video games and/or other programs.

Has your opinion on hats changed since the question on 2020-08-13 00:15?

Yes.

is it logical to use a hairbrush as a toothbrush?

no

a toothbrush as a hairbrush?

no

a powerwasher as a squirtgun?

i mean... you could.

how many hats do you own?

2 or so

Why did you leave the bw discord?

it's a long long long story that can be told.

What is your opinion on PERL?

i haven't used it so i don't have an opinion yet.

answer this question with a keyboard macro

ah yes, how wonderful.

What's your opinion on HTML, CSS, JS, C, C++, C#, and PHP?

I honestly love all of those you listed above (though i dont use the C/C++/C# much ever).

what is your opinion on sequencer

from my perspective it is a game changing automation tool.

What happened to the vault?

taken down because of the current website situation. i'm actually rewriting it all from nearly scratch, but the current one is held up only by insane nginx configurations that do not fully work. it was either questions or vault to keep working so i chose questions.

elemental lite does not want to load for me and i am frankly not amused by its tomfoolery

i don't really remember how that game does it's loading but i swear it checked for errors.

why are all the program links broken

because every other link is down because i haven't fully setup the new server. try again in two days.

how cool do you think you are

not as cool as you are

t

t=more than 3.5 months

what is your new opinion on hats?

they are nice.

why doesn’t she love me anymore

you probably stole one of her pineapples without asking, and then hid the truth from her. it's too late, she won't forgive you anymore.

do you participate in advent of code?

no. i aleady have too many real programming challenges to partake in.

Do you watch BFDI

not the recent stuff past bfb 20 ish

what did you expect to happen to old name and its elements when cary featured it in humany and his community flooded the game?

i mean, i would've expected there to be a ton more elements since the voting stuff was very low. i did NOT expect the vpn detection stuff to break, but it DID.

Main server for elem4 looks like down. Why?

because there was a bug and also no one was expecting 600 new users.

do you archive your website on the wayback machine

i don't archive it myself but i believe it is archived to some degree.

Opinion on keyboard macros?

they are useful but i forgot to have the program that uses them invented. fixing that atm, doing things a bit backwards here.

What is your new opinion on hats?

good. i need more.

What school subject do you hate the most? Why?

I've been sitting at this question for 10 minuntes and I haven't decided on just ONE subject to truly hate. They're all too highly medium.

why do you have a paper airplane as your pfp?

i just needed something and i wasn't sure what.

How do your opinions on yuri (the genre) and Yuri Gagarin (the cosmonaut) differ?

while they both aren't super interesting to me, the difference between them is one i'd never find any interest and the other one maybe.

hi old namet's up my guy i see you figured out how to send a questionWhat's something you hate?

The default mode of content creation seems to be MONEY instead of PASSION. I can't change that but I can at least opt myself out of the default.

Does the FBI see all the questions I ask?

yes but only if they checked https://#username#.net/q+a.

Why do you prefer year-month-day over month-day-year when doing literally anything?

It was originally used when i had folders and files, and i didn't trust the "sort by date" feature, and i instead used a name prefix of YYYY-MM-DD, with leading zeros, which would cause "sort by name" to rather sort by the date instead. I use dashes since slashes aren't allowed in pathnames. For the website, I don't actually use this system anymore but rather have the date put in a separate file alongside the display name. Since i used that for file naming i decided to use it for everything else too.

Can i trust you?

that's a question for you.

Are you lucky or unlucky?

give me one second (rolls die) ... 1. yeah, i usually have better luck.

website is back again

indeed!

hi old nameare you

why do people compare you with bill wurtz? apart from the video style similarities, you're better in every other way

because we're comparable. but i'm trying to move away from his exact style of videos, but we will have to wait till VS5 is a thing.

What is something new that you have learned over the past few months?that the level of quality i desire is still way too high.
also the fact you cannot use unicode characters inside of HTTP headers.

if you could choose between deltarune chapter 2, tpot 1 and sapphire panlogism full version to come out, which would you choose (only one) and why?

i'm most excited to see deltarune but those other two might be awesome too. but we all need to wait a bit longer.

that is a lot of questions.

if you average everything including stuff i don't answer, it's a round about 0.75 questions per day

it's going well besides the fact i haven't done a lot of stuff, but i have done a bit of schoolwork.

favorite bill wurtz moment?

long gone outtake, mistake vid, or this jazz cover.

answer this question in one word only?

no.

i don't know why, but this website is the beautiful'est thing I've ever seen.

woah that's a compliment. thing is the "new version" i have in my head, which is like 1000x better, but also takes in 100x the work, as it's almost a full recreation. it's a little hard to describe.

for bonus points, type the classic format answer.

the classic format answer.

coolio

ah yes, how wonderful.

how to divide by 0?

there should be a divide by symbol on the calculator. if it's text based, try the / operator. if that doesn't work, try the ÷ operator. if you're using latex you can use \frac{x}{0} to write it out.

would it be surprising if all of the bill wurtz questions suddenly transferred to your page?

yes.

does this auto-answer questions?

no. i prefer to answer them by hand, but i do have an auto collection and processing part. everything but the answering is automated.

why

i don't know but as soon as it was too late there wasn't any going back. i just have to do this.

If i ask the question that shows up in this box's default text do you redirect anywhere? i'd try it but i don't want to spam you

no it just sends it. i should totally add that.

is hatred island gonna get an update so that you dont break the game every time you break a furnace

favorite bfb ost moment?

hit it drop

when did all the windmills start to turn so slow?

when the wind goes away. definetly wouldnt happen today.

no seriously, how do you do the noise texture (you know, like bill wurtz in his monday videos)?

1. they aren't like the bill wurtz monday videos. 2. i thought that was clear enough. guess not? the noise is done by combining two noise layers (the tool is called FastNoise but i have a slightly modified default that is set to be scaled down a bit and with colors black and white), with each one being different colors. idk what blend mode i used on that specific example but you just choose one

and while at it, how DID you make the taco bell logo wavy? please don't answer "with noise" and tell me the technical details (how do you do it with your video editor)

i literally applied an effect (custom made) called Wave (technicals on that: built from a generator (CustomTool) based on a sine wave + Displace), it makes stuff wavy. wave is also one of the tools in my custom collection i still need to rewrite (the cache bug, but theres also an issue using it in proxy/low-quality mode)

how much of the wurtz questions page have you read and what do you think you learned most from it?

some; you can learn a lot but i don't know anything specific.

in a previous question, you said that the most ridiculous thing you have convinced someone is true is that giving them $2 for $20 is a fair trade. How did you manage to convince them that??

the $20 bill had more IQ than them probably.

when is tpot 1 coming out?

after tomorrow. but you're definetly asking the wrong person.

do you have a bedtime you must follow every day, or are you like bill wurtz in that you and him both sleep whenever you want? billwurtz.com/reality

sometimes. it's best to not stay up to 4am because it messes with your sleep wake schedule. however, i end up staying up late sometimes. i've been becoming better at controling it but not entirely. "sleep at night, and wake up before double digits" is the bedtime/unbedtime

What songs can I sing that you’ll know after hearing two words of the song?

one word songs.

What is your opinion on hats (any kind of hat)?

i'd say they are pretty good, but i don't have enough hat wearing experience to give a valid opinion on that topic right now.

What is something of yours that one day someone will borrow and may never return?

a piece of notebook paper.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you have convinced someone is true?

that giving them $2 for $20 is a fair trade.

What is the happiest you've ever been?

when i finish making sequencer. gonna be so god damn happy.

subtle mind destruction games.

it is 2020-08-11 13:48:36

q&a: are you gonna sing every day? cool, thanks

no

q&a: what's the HISTORY OF THE WORLD????

someone realized they could write stuff down, nowadays way too many things to comprehend are written down.

(are you gonna make a documentary like Bill Wurtz?)

sure.

ueqstion: Why did you remove your "how to make a bill Wurtz video" ? BRING IT BACK

video was inaccurate and it really was a video on how i made stuff (and that process has changed a bit). it's still available on some link somewhere. if you missed it the only important thing you need to know is that you can do anything and as long as you experiment and learn and don't let "limits" exist you'll do amazing, and also Helvetica.

i might create a new video explaining the way i make things and in more detail, since that's a process i actually know.

What games do you play?

not really anything anymore. sometimes i play minecraft and i used to be play geometry dash with a decent skill (perhaps my extreme skills at it's level editor helped be become a nerd at wanting to sync video elements to music). oh also portal 2 and thomas was alone and 140 and more like those.

p.s. tell me if rob makes a 2.2.
whats the magic number?

0 is pretty magical.

how many times do you think bill has submitted something on this page? can you tell which of the Discord regulars he is?

my guess is 0. and my only way of tracking who is who is by what they say and their email. but recently i've automated the emailing process so i don't get to see them anymore.

howope you have a good day! wink
In the rare case I murdered someone and the feds were hot on my trail where should I hide the body

the police's car, the last place they'd look for it.

Hello! You are like UPGRADED BILL WURTZ!

i wouldn't call myself that.

ARE YOU HEAVILY INFLUENCED?

i took a lot of influence, probably too much. i want to make myself my own self and not a copy. so far that difference is just that i mainly do software development.

Thanks!!
I want a video editing software by old namet is in the works, but i don't think it's what you think. but before we get too ahead of ourselves we definetly need a way to put ui on the screen without having a stroke during development.thanks old name're welcome, but i can't tell if you're who i think you're.ugh forgot my previous question

that's unfortunate, if you are ever out of ideas you can generate them.

What gender are you?

i forgot.

wait did the previous question send or not

depends if it was on bread or not.

raisins in bread is cool or not cool

depends who eats it. for example, if the person was on a no carb diet, they wouldn't think it's cool. i'm kind of in the middle, and think each person should draw their own conclusions.

should my hemoglobin be purple?

no, but i'm curious how you encountered that bug.

is bread cool

depends on which type you get, and if it's still fresh.

would you prefer to watch filthy frank videos or listening to Joji's music?

i looked up both as i never had really seen either of them much. interesting twist with those two being more or less the same person. as for the choice, i'd probably go for his music.

what do you think of the word stellar

i'd define it to be a synonym of amazing, but with a different feeling. it's a word i'd like to use more in the future to vary my vocabulary.

hecc no

you shouldn't be so negative.

old name is null not empty and "" not null?

because they are two different things.

whats your favorite color?

green, but they all look amazing.

Can you make a voting system for elemental lite

if i could find something to vote on.

hey old nameup

figuring out how to make cooler things faster.

would you like to make your own country?

you clearly do not know how hard it is to run one.

(or pretend that your website/yt channel is a country)

that's more interesting, but i don't see the full point of it. i guess the 'nation of old username.net' consists of just me, but has a lot of tourism.

what's the passport?

a secret with an expiration date.

My birthday was on Friday why did you have to upload on Thursday

thursday was my birthday.

what is the significance of thursday?

originally when i wanted to start a weekly publish schedule, i noticed there was already a video that satisfied the theme of the thursday videos (thursday dice roll). that video was called thursday just because it was on thursday. i thought we could just continue off there when doing the future videos of thursday math problem and so on. on the day of the thursday something amazing happened and set thursday as THE DAY for me, but i'll share that story later. thursday continued to show it's superiority over other days of the week, being in the middle of all other days, and landing on me and my father's birthdays this year.

i calculated that considering that you get, like, 1 question per 5 days with around 50 subs, bill wurtz gets 72 000 ueqstions per day

i'd try to get some more data on other people as that calculation seems flawed. you should also consider questions that are left unanswered, except you cant.

to check your work, i just ran the numbers and i got a much lower, but still extremely high number of 13250 per day. i also graphed it

Is there a difference between a password and a passport?

yes

you should start making reality vids

i'm already way ahead of you

Do roosters lay eggs

if you believe in them

what's the password?

try "username"

why is the sky blue?

it isn't always blue. but for the time it is, that's just what the sky decided to do.

drop all the tables.

they are as far to the ground as they could go; i am not holding any tables.

I used a different method to calculate the amount of ueqstions and i got 7420.

it's very large, but you're getting somewhere more reasonable. you're also increasing the question rate.

will you use the pinephone (the linux phone)

no. on a mobile device i'd prefer iMessage over terminals and segmentation faults.

you should make all journals/reality vids public

not yet

Where did elemental 4 go?

i suck too much at keeping network based programs alive

TS or JSX

i'd try combining them, but only if a reaction is needed.

if there were two androids on the moon and one of them depreciated AsyncTask literally 2 days before you were about to write an android app that used it which then forced it to learn however kotlin coroutines work on android would that be fucked up or what

they were one step ahead of your plan. outsmart them and don't update.

What’s ur favorite number

this

First question of 2020 LET'S GO

good job

hey old nameHi can you hear me

i think.

please ignore this question im just testing something to report a bug to you

absolutely not!

will you learn and write code in other programming languages?

sure, when there's time and a cool idea.

how do you type uppercase numbers on ubuntu 18.04 lts

never figured it out, perhaps the macos keyboard has something like that. i mean you do have all the alt+stuff thing.

can you split up questions into multiple segments, bill wurtz style?

no, but i just added that feature, as it is useful now. so yes, i can!

as in, have multiple answer paragraphs per q?
can you run backwards?

i could try.

How do you feel about putting pineapple on pizza?

I think it's something everyone should try, and maybe even like. Also try pizza on pineapple.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

All of it.

How many miles are in a year?
about 525600 miles if you go 60mph.
do you manually notify people when you respond to their question or have you automated it?

i would like to automate it but i'm far too lazy. but without the automation i can see who sent what question and i don't fully like that.

JS vs TS + explanation please?

TypeScript is JavaScript with static typing, it checks them and then outputs the JavaScript that doesn't have the type info. This lets do you do fancy stuff like enums and very rich typing on complex structures, and if your code editor supports it (use vscode), you can use that type information in auto complete. TS is nice to learn but you must know what you're doing in regular javascript first.

Is it tonga time?

It is not.

How many letters are in the alphabet?

Between 12 and 109,384.

Did you change your website or where did the projects and stuff go?

It was getting too hard to work with the fancy layout of the last site design, and also easily show everything i've done. Now, the site looks less fancy, and it lists everything i could find that i've made, and it's easier than ever to add more things to it.

How do you feel about the shutdown of adobe flash player in late 2020.

I think it should've been done earlier. We've had other standards (that are real and open standards) to replace it. JavaScript has definitely come a long way and can do much more than Flash has ever done.

<h1>Does innerHTML work?</h1>

HTMLElement.prototype.innerHTML does work on all browsers, but if you want to insert html into your question, you can't. However, if you write a link i will probably make it a real link. (remember i do this all manually)

Hey, it's ShadeTheNarwhal. What is your favourite tv show?

i generally don't watch TV too much, but one of the good ones i can think of off the top of my head would be adam ruins everything.
