i have always used MS Word for writing, but my laptop wheezed and went into a coma last fall and took my MS 2007 with it.
i carefully switched some projects to Google Docs, but now it's promoting its "AI" software to me.
so i just downloaded LibreOffice and moved my GDocs over to that.
anyway, if anyone has bad news for me about LibreOffice, tell me now, please, thx

i'll ask here cause i think yall will give me the answer but-
I'm considering upgrading Clip Studio to the 2.0 version. I was looking around, and it said that you're required to have internet to use the program. Tbh I didn't trust the answer cause it was from reddit and going to the clip studio website I was still confused cause idk if they meant the app clip studio where you download assets and such or the art program itself. So i just wanted some clarification on that
#i have the last 1.0 version and it tends to freeze on me at times#doubt its my laptop its less than a year old so i dunno!#unless if someone can help me fix that problem I'm fine#i dont urgently need the upgrade im just getting frustrated that the program freezes on me at times#txt

Steve's kindness is, like all self-taught one, a mirage of borrowed expressions, a collage of habits picked from people he loved, a bit stilled but eager and well-meaning, sometimes a bit chopped at the sides, a growing want to let the good feelings out in front of the right people.
Eddie liked to sometimes watch him and find all the signs of other people in him, try to match them up to right people.
He would watch and think - this is Nancy's stubbornness to never give up on people and Dustin's loyalty, he would see him trying to give advice to Dustin and see Johnathan's akward pep-talks to Will. The way he would always try to have snacks for the kids screamed both Joyce's and Mrs. Henderson motherly kindness. His willingness to sit in silence, a steady presence, when somebody needed it shined with Will's warmth. How he fights for the people he cares about, letting his meaness be a defense for them all, a barier and a shield similar to Max's snark.
And whenever he found himself to be the matching person? It made him feel loved, so fucking loved and seen that he would choke on it.
Eddie sometimes would make a game out of it, to found the matching puzzle whenever Steve's kindness shone (and it was a lot of the time). It was always someone from the party and he would always find himself with a strange fond warmth whenever he realized who it was. And usually he was good at it, it wasn't really hard when he loved and knew all those people too
There were exceptions though. The first one was Robin and it wasn't for the lack of Eddie's knowledge and love for her and moreso because of the whole RobinandSteve being always so SteveandRobin, never really separate. Whatever was Steve's was also Robin's, their clothes, habits or sometimes even their smiles shone in the same way. They were mismatched in a funny melted together sort of way, his kindness was her and hers was his and it was hard to difference between the two when even they didn't know where one ended and the other began, they traded traits like they traded clothes, wore them bright pink socks with yellow soft sweater, a joke to cheer you up with a soft you can tell me anything in the same breath.
He didn't really knew whose kindness it was the innate one that must have been deep within Steve before he let it shine or Robin's. He didn't think it would really matter anyway, they would trade it between themselves like shiny cards anyway.
The other one was a smile. An unique one, one that Eddie swore he saw somewhere before and that lacked the freckles and a missing teeth except noone in the party had these two traits, at least not as Eddie knew them and he could never find that one puzzle. It was boyish and full of mischief, usually with a starry reflection in Steve's eyes.
The last one was a lift in his tone, the way he would make his voice honey-like sweet when he tells Robin her new haircut suits her or El's new shirt brought out her eyes. The intonation always made Eddie think of bubble gum and sugared summers.
He couldn't place the last two to nobody. At least not until Steve told him about Tommy Hagan and Carol Perkins.
Obviously Eddie knew about them, but Stevie didn't talk about how they are. But how they used to be.
"Sweet." he said while passing the joint they shared laying on Eddie's bed, pressed from shoulders to their ankles. "Carol used to be sweet, warm with the naive love only kids hold" Steve's eyes were looking out the window of Eddie's room, as if he could see the young version of them just outside playing childlish games. "and Tommy used to be wild. But not like bad wild, more like he was always chasing trouble, adventure. Like kids do."
And Eddie couldn't see it, not with how the world twisted them into different people, cruel. More cold, all sharp teeth and autumn's rain.
Except he could, he could in Steve's special smile and the sound of his voice, he could see it and he could see the love that Steve Harrington had for them.
"They're douchebags now," he said when Eddie voiced it out loud "but I did loved them once, sometimes I feel like I've never stopped, they just... Grew out of my love, grew into something I couldn't."
It should be strange, to love something someone isn't anymore, but to Eddie it just spoke of the way Steve Harrington threw himself into love, how he never really stopped loving and caring. It was admirable, it was so lovable and it was so Steve-like. Earnest in the sweetest way.
It made sense that Steve Harrington would love people even through his expression of it.
#idk what this is#i just kept thinking about how at some point Steve must have loved Tommy and Carol#and yeah some relationships are bad and you need to drop the people because they are as*h*les but that doesnt mean the love was never there#or that you don't sometimes feel the ghost of it when you think of them#And I think Eddie - just would watch the people he loves - would observe them and analyze them#cathegorize them or their habbits and expression into something a little cabinets in his mind#this is kind of shitty but oh well i've written it so now i'm bestowing it onto others#i'm trying to get back into writting because my laptop will be hopefully fixed soon and i'll actually could write then#but i cant so for now this ficlet is here#steddie#steve harrington#eddie munson#stranger things#platonic stobin#my writing#ficlet#dom's tumblr writing

farewell, my idiot son…
#(aka my switch’s internals got fried so the repair shop had to format it to revive it: the tragicomedy)#(wait no on further inspection they seemed to have just given up on fixing it and gave me a whole other switch instead. lmao.)#(i wonder what happened to my old switch though…)#(farewell to all of my save data… thank heavens i didnt transfer anything over from past gens of pkmn)#(but aaaaaaaaa this shiny goo was a christmas present from a former acquaintance… rip squish you wouldve loved kimikawaii mv)#man… these past couple of days have been a *l o t*.#shoutout to [job recruitment company employee] who sent me a ‘hey the job wants you :)’ message#at the exact same time that i submitted a job application form for another company. it truly was a strange coincidence i think…#but… ehe… the… the job that wants me is offering $1k more than the monthly base salary i asked for… is… is this really ok…?#nothing’s confirmed yet. but. y’know. s t i l l . is it really ok for me to get paid so much for a job that lets me skip the morning commute#and while im still reeling from all of yesterday’s happenings… squish my dear shiny goo will never be seen again…#switch save system my b e l o a t h e d#so. long story short. take good care of your gadgets and gizmos guys.#then again. maybe im not the best person to say this… i mean. i’ve bricked like. 3 personal laptops in my lifetime…#and a phone sim card. and 2-3 nokia phones. and 3 android phones. and a tablet. and—#so. yeah. uh. it’s a good idea to take care of your stuff. especially if they’re fragile.#anyway. in memoriam of squish my idiot son im gonna try to find another shiny in sv this time. i hope i can find another…#but aaaaa the map in sv is pretty huge. um. i got lost like 10 times before even making it to school…#the friends are all just. so. friend-shaped. though… i like the sandwich pal. he has priorities.#looking forward to seeing how this story unfolds thoughh. i saw spoilers on twt but i need to know how the story even unfolds bc aaaa#ok that’s it idol sengen tl is now on an extended hiatus (ch 35 has just 7 pages left to go) till i complete this game. whenever it may be.#see y’all then~~~~~~~~~~~

Just a quick question, since I'm brainstorming/preparing stuff for Amare's journey; Would it be possible to port this hair to M Viera? (And add more natural weights? I know some of hers tend to be a little stiff sometimes)
I'm having him grow out his hair for narrative reasons over the MSQ, and would LOVE to have that hair for him for DT since it would be a perfect step up from where his EW hair would be. Just wanted to throw this out there for those more well-versed in hair mods than I.
#Downloading blender would probably melt my laptop#otherwise I'd try to figure it out myself#So I figured I'd throw this out there#in case there's an easy fix#or if anyone knows of a similar one I could use#His hair's naturally wavy/lightly curled#so I need something with a curl to it#and this one was perfect#Obviously this is a non-issue until DT#which will take a few months and some change to even get to#I just like to plan ahead

Going through a straight up comical amount of irritating situations to get the stupid 4* guaranteed ticket from the welcome to sekai campaign. It Will Be Mine.
#I’m resuming this tomorrow it’s been hours now I’m just mad#I’m home because my parents are moving to a different state and I needed to pack whatever was left#and for some reason we just keep old devices when we’re done with them#so I borrow an adapter to allow me to connect my ancient unworking iPad mini to my laptop#factory reset it. i have to reset an old email to access the old Apple id to fully reset it.#it won’t connect to the wifi so I have to reset the settings. i find out it’s too old to run pjsk.#i find an old phone that should work. i reset it as well. I’m able to download pjsk & it takes 20 minutes.#pjsk crashes everytime I try to open it. i attempt to run bluestacks on my computer. bluestacks doesn’t have 64 bit for mac yet.#i get a free trial of parallels and download windows onto my laptop. this takes 40 minutes.#i try to download and run bluestacks on that. m1 macs apparently can’t run bluestacks 64 bit through parallels.#i go find the final old phone that I had forgotten about. it takes forever to charge because the charging port is fucked up. i reset it as#well. it can’t connect to wifi. i try a hotspot on my current phone. service is too awful. i try to do wifi sharing from my laptop.#you have to be connected to the router via a cable for that to work.#at this point it has been like 3 hours. I’m giving up because I’ve been down this route before#when I attempted to run 32 bit steam games on m1 mac#(wine64 doesn’t exist for m1 macs yet -> attempt to run boot camp -> boot camp isn’t a thing anymore on Apple silicon -> attempt to run#several different programs that allow me to run windows on a mac. none of them work. ->#look into linux & give up. -> attempt to implement the unfinished/unbottled wine64 code thru terminal. ->#fuck up and delete some important file & have to fix that (misery inducing) -> keep trying. i think I downloaded a Mac coding program at#some point? i realize I have zero coding knowledge and this is a mistake. -> give up and purchase crossover. game doesn’t even work. ->#3 months later update to the latest OS so I can have enough storage to play psychonauts 2. find out the $60 crossover#purchase was a bad idea because ‘heehee crossover doesn’t work on that buy the new version’ (fuck crossover).#my toxic trait is my belief that I can figure out anything via google and sheer stubbornness. usually this is true. occasionally there are#exceptions to this rule. most of them are because owning Apple products is a mistake.#i think if I reset the router tomorrow I can solve this problem but I can also just go elsewhere with better service or wait until I’m home#now it’s a matter of pride. and also free 4*/I have nothing better to do because I’m stuck here until Tuesday.#<- this is all normal behavior by the way. who doesn’t spend 8 hours ramming their head against a problem every once and a while. enrichment#mine#oh I forgot. i also looked into cloning the app but that would cost money for something that might not even work.#‘just log out and make an alt’ and risk losing my account? I’m stupid enough to overwrite it on accident.

Okay so I've had this WIP laying around for over a year now lol This was my very first attempted at drawing buildings or a cityscape and I definitely got super stuck bc I had no idea what I was doing but I'd like to pick this pack up someday~
#artist on tumblr#OC#cyberpunk#Cyberpunk Dragons#Trojan#WIP#[ I think about this WIP a lot but it the working file makes my laptop lag so badly I can't really work on it anymore LOLOL#at least until I get a pc#but this was one of the first kind of 'proof of concept' ideas for CPD to see if I could even pull it off#I definitely need to learn how to draw buildings and backgrounds#this needs a lot of fixing but I wanna be able to finish it one day#also I never got around to drawing Trojan's clothes so he's just temporarily streaking lol ]

I should participate in the grand tumblr tradition and just post random scenes I’ve written for various fics I’ll never finish but alas i am personally not allowed to so instead they live on my computer in scrivener files where they will wither and die
#if I could get the nerve up to post anything#I honestly think it would be good for me and my writing or whatever if I tried to share more of it but#I’m like. allergic to sharing things that aren’t complete#so anything that’s like. a random isolated impulse just stagnates on my laptop#I love reading other people’s random scenes! but I’m different…#I guess I’m having writers block 🙄 not really just can’t seem to write anything that’s a finished product all this year#actually this post is about my sister rereading the Russian doll au randomly the other week#and being like this was super good actually. too bad it will never cohere into the 50k novel it demands to be#instead it’s 15k of Stuff with no way to finish it#what I really need is to learn to write one shots… that would fix me

My mother told me to come home tomorrow because it's a less busy day, turns out she is busy tomorrow and Saturday and out Sunday, my dad is working, neither of my brothers are home, and frankly I like my flat I like my FRIENDS I like being up at uni because there are people here rather than a godforsaken two bus a day bus service, and I don't know how to say to my parents there is no point in me coming home if they're not around because it's unbelievably boring there.
#the one (1) thing is my year abroad friend is visiting nearby so we'll meet up sunday. but other than that.#sorry I am just feeling myself become a bitch and it is because! i don't like going home!!! there's nothing to do!!!#I need to get my laptop fixed so I'll do that then leave for the circus almost immediately

ermmmm (sneak peek)
#my art#do not copy trace or steal#didnt mean to include the brush/cursor but i personally think it adds to the wip feel and bc i dont want it being nabbed BAHAHA#im actually so mad so im upstairs for the next few weeks/month or so to keep an eye on pasty (this isnt the part where im mad)#so my dad helped me get my tablet fixed up to my laptop since i dont want to have to move all of my office stuff upstairs and after we got#that figured out i just needed to get my brushes back since my main ones arent preset brushes. theyre the pastel brush and marker brush#specifically and i also love the bumpy art pen and faint acrylic paint brush (< casually drops all of my brushes#bc i love them so much and i think everyone who has firealpaca should at least try them out bc they are so good)#ANYWAY. so im looking at the brush store and i see the chopstick brush. YALL im actually so mad how good it looks and how i feel using it#an actual gamechanger what in the world#i thiiiiink id like to do more of these semi realistic wc drawings so we'll see how this one turns out + how i feel about it

At the first long rest we took, I like the idea that Shadowheart is laying there like 'my unlikely compatriot is rather brave and clever. He got us out of fight with just his words and, despite his cold, aloof demeanor, was shockingly agreeable to making finding someone to get the parasite out of our heads priority number one. Perhaps I can trust him after all...'
All while Ronan, serial abuser of Thaumaturgy, Blade Ward, and Guidance, is wondering if Bahamut is going to give him a good grade in Cleric today.
#bg3#i keep getting the shadowheart approves message#cant wait to find a new party member but i can literally only play for like 80 minutes at a time before i got to recharge my laptop#also the second i find a rogue. shit is going to get cheesed to all hell#just 'oh thank god. someone with high sneak and sneak attack bonus'#i know theres the handsome dude with the rapier who stabs a gobbo close by but#i have a chronic need to dink around and explore everything before hitting The Plot so i reloaded my save to look around the beach some more#i need to fix my pc so i can actually play with more than 7 frames a second
