i love chronicles, i really do, but i’m currently being tested (<- trying to format an editable spreadsheet template for the different character sheets across 11 games and suffering about it)

Juste, Maxim, and Lydie from Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance. They have been living in my head for many years since I first played the game, but this is the first time I draw them. But not the last: I am working on a big piece with them, on which I can pour 15 years of concentrated thoughts about them.

Speaking of finely aged, I did just replay the game, and I will write a longer piece about it on Staircase Spirit later, but a quick thought: this time I am of the opinion that it was just too before its time. When it came out people criticized it as too low-res and too colorful, but now there is a new appreciation for this kind of stuff, and if it came out today, I think everyone would be praising the visuals WITH their pixelation. It's too gorgeous, honestly.

As someone who doesn’t use Twitter and hasn’t used it since 2016, at this point I feel like every even slightly Twitter-esque (let alone overt Twitter-esque) design choice Tumblr makes gets yelled about because People Really Just Fucking Hate Twitter whether they realise it or not.

Which, like. Fair ‘nuff. I also hate Twitter, which is why I don’t use it. But nobody ever really gives these design decisions any time to percolate on this site in favour of kneejerk “they changed it and we hate it” reaction. Public likes are not new. Multiple tabs on a dashboard (some of them not things you opted into seeing) are not new. Having to block ads with external tools is not new (and it’s a big deal that photomatt said the words “ad blocker”, like, you couldn’t get that shit on any other profit-driven site, everyone is too scared for their precious monetisation)

The new sidebar, also, I think is pretty ugly right now but it’s probably going to go through a few iterations. I, personally, really wish they’d put the search bar literally anywhere else (maybe group search and discovery together IDK I’m not an UX designer) and I think accessing sideblogs has been too complicated for a while now, but none of those are the same as “this looks like The Other Blue Site”.

Like I’m not a graphic designer. I am certainly not a fucking UX designer, and I think those people are either all nuts or all geniuses. I’m pretty sure the new layout is being extensively heatmapped rn, and what changes it’ll undergo are gonna be done based on that, based on comments that are along the lines of ‘this change would make me more productive’ and less on “WEEEEEH CHANGE IT BACK CHANGE IT BACK CHANGE IT BACK”. 

Your animosity towards change is not meaningful user experience information. You misclicking on shit more *is*. If this layout is really *that* bad and terrible, Automattic’s research tools will demonstrate it as such. The developers now are actually much better versed in Web 2.0 design, for better and for worse.

Nearly sobbed when I refreshed my desktop page and learned I'd been given the vertical layout. Especially because I literally could not find my Drafts page anymore, where I'm certain I saved the post explaining how to switch it back. So instead I did a desperate Tumblr search and found the github link. A few clicks and I'm right back home. *sigh*

also i surfed cyle's blog a bit bc i desperately want an out of despair and looks like this new dashboard UI has a feedback collection deadline. it's 50-50 on whether it's here to stay for now so i guess. that is a bit better. do give them feedback though if you really don't want it
