i hope everyone in nintendo’s management department dies and goes to hell no matter what and i’m not kidding

#WERE LOSING YUZU AND CITRA. I DONT KNOW IF YOU ALL UNDERSTAND HOW INSANE THIS IS #game emulation enables piracy yes but it’s also an INCREDIBLY powerful archival tool. #there are plenty of games out there that only exist in their original formats due to emulation. #this lawsuit has HORRIBLE implications for video game history. it makes it incredibly easy for companies to scorched earth their products #if they’re not profitable enough. ART IS GOING TO BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS. GAMES PEOPLE WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD ON #it won’t just happen to bad games. it won’t just happen to old games. they will use this to keep their remake/virtual console model going #forever and you will never be able to play your favorite games in their true original forms ever again. #i am fucking INSANELY mad rn. capitalism is the death of art fr #personal

as a reminder to literally anyone and everyone who even so much as considers this: AO3 has NO autosave ability when you're making drafts, so PLEASE do not use it instead of a writing program.

If their server goes down, if you hit a wrong button and refresh the page or go back to the previous page, if you accidentally close the browser, if your browser or device crashes, etc etc etc you are shit out of luck. Your work is gone forever, it didn't backup to anywhere and there is NO recovery option. Even TUMBLR's drafting ability is supposed to autosave and often does.

If you want to avoid gdocs that's fine- there's other text editors with simple autosave options, like Online Notepad or Digital Scholar's notepad, or there's still local-drive writing programs that are free and open source, like LibreOffice. PLEASE do not use AO3 to write your stories into directly. It has NOTHING.

#writing #ao3 #I love AO3 but it's NOT made for this #it's made to archive stuff #I have lost precious stories before back before autosave was a thing #and I cannot imagine anyone willfully choosing to just not protect their writing like that #there are so many safer ways to write

I listened to the soundtrack with DLC, some kind of hopelessness or something comes from it, as if everything is over, anxiety, loss, in general this track puts me into a kind of trance, and I also forgot, as if it makes me think about the meaning of life, that’s the kind of philosopher I am in 1 am

(Soundtrack: Bleeding Effect/Main Theme)

#my thoughts #the lost archive

[melandrops]

my attachment to characters generally falls into one of two categories:

-you're so wet and pathetic and sad. what happened to you. who has done this to you. please let me feed you soup and dry your sopping wet eyes with a tissue

-you're an absolute bitch. genuinely an insufferable person. please marry me

#tma #the magnus archives #tmagp #the magnus protocol #tagging these bc these are my recent fandoms #but this also applies to pretty much every character ive ever lost it over

Mumbo just saved Scar and Grian's lives by building the diamond button, keeping Doc distracted and all that

#hermitcraft #also btw does anyone have archived Doc's Button streams from S7? #uuuhhh being a mc fan really is a hunt for lost media isn't it

~Back on the Annabelle Grind!!~

[Image ID: The drawing depicts Annabelle Cane, a black woman and web avatar with short blonde hair. She's dress in an antique dress with lace over a purple button-up shirt. There is a stitch on her right temple. Behind her, there is a web and crudely cute paper eyes, all staring at her. There are also lyrics, saying "The devil made me do it... but I also kinda wanted to". There are crude paper sparkles around the lyrics.]

#tma #the magnus archives #annabelle cane #reqs still open but ill be rather slow with them #lyrics are from 2econd 2ight 2eer (that was fun goodbye) #heart shaped #oftheheart #so uh it's been a hot sec #I kinda lost interest in tma for a while but suddenly Annabelle cane struck again #i was pretty busy with artfight #I think my artstyle changed? maybe not though #anyways annabelle my beloved hearteyes

Sofia Coppola

Archive

Paperback with embossed jacket 21.6 x 28cm, 488 pages

“Archive is the first book by Sofia Coppola, covering the entirety of her singular and influential career in film. Constructed from Coppola’s personal collection of photographs and ephemera, including early development work, reference collages, influences, annotated scripts, and unseen behind-the-scenes documentation, it offers a detailed account of all eight of her films to date. Mapping a course from The Virgin Suicides (1999), through Lost in Translation (2003) and Marie Antoinette (2006), to The Beguiled (2017) and her upcoming feature Priscilla (fall 2023), exploring Priscilla Presley’s early years at Graceland, this luxurious volume reflects on one of the defining and most unmistakable cinematic oeuvres of the twenty-first century.”

we need ao3 for fanart and I am so completely serious. A universal platform not driven by any kind of professionalism or end goal, just for creating. Most important of all it needs to share the incredibly helpful and complex filing system ao3 does. this would be beneficial I think. because I want it.

#No but seriously the way whole accounts full of art can go unseen #for years. and just get buried #because social media is different. social media is Make Make Make Post Post Post #social media is about Outreach. Followers. What Can You Gain #and of course creators should still have that and still have promo spsce #but also csnt we just have an impeccably organized archive? #whenever I search for a show on tumblr or Twitter or Instagram. it just shows me what’s recent and trending #what about thst awesome work from 3 years ago? or whatever #what if I want to filter for AU? #or etc etc. it agonizes me how much work gets lost to anything but aggressive digging
