I uploaded PIE 2 to the Mini-Comics page. I'll save the next one for "doling out" next month.

I created mini-comics with the intention of putting them on junior high school students' worksheets, "serialised" through the year as an extra thing for them to read, using what they'd studied in that chapter of the book. Last year, I didn't do any lesson planning, just assisting, so I just saved up the comics and put them all on the walls of each classroom, at the end of the year.

Still, I had big plans for this year, three adventure strips for JR high, but this time, 11 whole pages of comic, for "serialising" on each classroom's wall each month. Not only for the three grades of Junior High, but also for grade 5 and 6 of elementary school, who I'd do some silly Beano-type comics for. I re-signed a contract with the same ALT dispatch company and awaited developments...

So it turns out I'm actually going to be working in an "office" run by the Board of Education, occasionally visiting nursery schools, and making hundreds of stickers and magnets to give out to kids when we visit. I will have ZERO regular classes and ZERO regular kids to teach. This is quite clearly a "corner office", "by the window" placement intended to induce me to quit. Well I have to wait 2-3 months until the new visa comes, but they'll get what they want, don't you fuckin' worry.

My dispatch company also gave me a "temporary occasional for July and August" Saturday job last year, which they keep increasing my hours at. Won't be sorry to see the back of that fucker, neither.

Anyway, this has rather knocked me for six, and content creation has, as you can no doubt see, ground to a halt. I'll try and get the Comitia 75 report and some more Figshit picks out fairly soon, though.

I've also been tinkering about with a game-making engine called Redot, though the same black dogs that assailed me over my job have bought my following the tutorials on that to a grinding halt, too. A protracted, mild-but-present-enough-to-be-annoying cold didn't help, either. I have also learned that it's based on another engine called Godot, forking after a (very mild, by the standards of Ccomics and movies) "wokeness" controversy. So far there's pretty much nothing at all to distinguish Redot from Godot, except a sound pitch adjusting feature. But that does mean all Godot tutorials apply to Redot! Including tutorials about how to compile your projects into an actual exe... an actual exe with a minimum file size of 65mb! The maximum file size I can upload on my host is 50mb. "Upgrade your package", you say... yeah, so I look through the comparisons of the different packages on offer. How much information do they have on maximum file size uploads, do you suppose? Is it FUCKING ZERO? Because they provide precisely FUCKING ZERO information on maximum file size uploads. So I go looking through their help pages, how much information on maximum file sizes is in those, do you suppose? Is it FUCKING ZERO? Because the total amount of information they have on maximum file size uploads anywhere outside of the "Max size 50mb" warning on the uploader, is FUCKING ZERO.

Why oh why can't THICK CUNTS just make shit clear?
