Message for all Bureau affiliates: The Dark Slime is rising. Log in here to access essential documents. (OOC: finally figured out a way to incorporate the Ronnie Slime paracosmic lore stuff. Trying to go for an ARG sort of vibe? Also love this terminal layout. Still very WIP.) https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/bureau/portal/login

some videos just weren't meant to be html embedded. getting my hour+ entire album review to below 100 MB so I can upload a compressed version to Neocities is of course being a pain in the arse.

ok the versions of videos embedded on the SAASP page might be staying on Catbox due to loading times, but don't worry, I have compressed versions of them in local site directories for backup purposes.

it is the year of our lord 2025; any file with size measured in megabytes should not still be a problem. seriously contemplating turning it into an AVI and letting my mom's long-suffering Windows XP netbook grind at it in movie maker for like a week since modern compressors ain't doing it

Also, anybody know how to get Windows XP Movie Maker-compatible codecs on Windows 10? I got MM sideloaded, but it can't open AVIs without the codecs it recognizes, and I don't see any way to download them within or outside the software. Latest support queries on MS's website are from, uh, 2011.

might just split the video in two for neocities backup purposes and keep the embed from Catbox. Is it possible to do a "playlist" setup with video playback in HTML where once one video file ends, another plays automatically in the same embed?
Dead Rabbitts (side project from Craig of Escape the Fate) dropped a new album today, so I recorded a podcast episode about it. Will get video on Neocities whenever it's done compressing (damn 100 MB limit) and CuddlyTube once it's done transcoding. https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/musicscene/podcast

PeerTube link. Not sure if you can watch while it's still transcoding or not? The Bad Guy webinar part took, like, 2 days to process so it may be a while. https://cuddly.tube/w/gpCtgQfAg19CrHKZaMztzS

sona ref revamp update -- front view is done; here's the 2022 original vs. 2025 comparison. (the tank top is not a permanent wardrobe change; it's for practicality so the arm tattoos are visible. I still mostly wear graphic tees and hoodies IRL and in my idealized form.) > https://file.garden/ZvBqN3lQEnLVuczj/ref_comparison.png

I don't post WIPs on the website because I know me and I know that if I HTMLify things before they're done, they'll never get done. But I have been working on a very plot-important Dudesverse fanfic WIP and have some thoughts about the new segment and how it connects to my experience with recovery and also the Pokemon XD Shadow Pokemon lore it's referencing. Read them?

Like, this is a confirmation that I am in fact working on the fanfic updates I promised I'd do, and also I love this concept and want to infodump about it. thoughts.page is the best freaking platform for the kind of stuff I usually send over DMs I've ever encountered

New RRverse fanfic. It's about how our timeline's Ronnie got dumped back in January, so consults the fanfic guys to try to help make him un-single. (It doesn't work.) > https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/fanfic/badatlife.html

Based on a true story. Everyone generally agrees, seemingly including Ronnie, that they broke up in December, but it wasn't officially confirmed until late January. Dude's been spiraling ever since and frankly, couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. > https://www.tmz.com/2025/01/21/saraya-ronnie-radke-breakup/
