just noticed A Sanctuary was properly archived lol

ꙮ hm i can’t delete archived scenes, that’s intriguing. not that i really expect to need to

ꙮ i can and should add the ability to rename scenes after they are archived, though, yes

says, “Example IC Session, waoa will live on in infamy forevermore”

ꙮ wild assed question: is “speech” even necessary as a formatting option? like all it is doing is adding a says, “ to the beginning of a post but I think half of the problems at minimum were people doing an action with speech selected or vice versa

says, “imo, probably not? I think the two distinct entries was mostly a remnant of w/e code you based this off of, which was more uh… Forum-y rather than IRC-y”

I don’t think it’s really necessary, all things considered? it’s easy enough to add “says” ourselves if it really want to.

ꙮ Yeah upon reflection I think I’m gonna get rid of Speech/Action mode entirely and just have Action Mode and that’ll at least make the behaviour more consistent and learnable

it also gave me bonus asterisks like … at some point here: “this is a ”“test”“ or maybe not”

Avatar
The Dragon

. “there’s just no universe where it both knows what to do with doubled-up quotation marks and ALSO turns them into pretty quotation marks that I can… actually no I think i CAN think of a way I could fix that but it’s definitely unnecessary if I’m deleting Speech Mode anyhow, I think.”

there are also worse things than bonus asterisks
