Honestly I had been trying to use KDE Plasma's integrated Flatpak permission controls to allow read write access to the file system instead of Flatseal, and there is a chance I should have just used Flatseal. I can thinker with it a bit more soon.

But yeah, a bit of a bumpy process.

*despite not using X11. That was a critical miswrite on my part.

"Why do this now?"

Quite simply I forgot I had a mirror blog, and my sentiments mentioned previously regarding Wordpress have only become stronger. bsky.app/profile/popp...
These are the kinds of posts I'd prefer to have on my blog instead of on BSky, but Matt Mullenwig has been acting in bad faith with Automattic and Wordpress so I've been neglecting my WP install and looking to switch to Ghost CMS /writing something custom / switching to a static site with RSS gen.

To be clear, this won't be removing the hosted level maps, padlight input viewer skins, etc from the site. This will just freeze the blog in its current state going forward.

This **will** break the search function, though.

the repo in question:
github.com/mono/msbuild...

And the place where I got the tip:

discussions.unity.com/t/guide-setu...
Release Bootstrap msbuild only for building msbuild · mono/msbuild
This is meant for building msbuild with mono and not general use. From mono 6.12.0.137

having trouble screencapping either of them because Spectacle crashes *instantly* on launch, KShot also can't capture anything, and Flameshot half-works, but will only capture on my first monitor or full screen, setting to just the second doesn't really work.

Also got GZDoom compiled from source because the flatpak just *refuses* to see the wads for some reason even after I gave it darn near full access to my filesystem.

compiling and running it was fairly straightforward, but I question why the instructions are in a wiki page instead of a build script

I can try that too, thank you!

And I still have an X-Men VS Street Fighter Arcade 1-Up machine I can use as reference.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not sure how usable this is for the effect I have in mind, but I appreciate the help!

I can give it a try

I keep telling myself I'll pick/make an avatar that fits me better but unless I go as abstract as "arcade machine screen's reflection of cute creatures passing by" that's not gonna happen.

seriously though if volumetric projection scanline effects weren't pain to draw, I'd probably go that route

it occurs to me I've not really looked into how decorative cases are made? That might be a cool project for someday.

A few months back, a family member hurt themself by mistake. Not a critical injury, but bad enough that we needed some kind of quick fix

That year, I had placed *seven* first aid kits around the house and cars. That night, I struggled to find *one* that hadn't been picked through.
