   I created something *perfect* on accident yesterday, and I cannot show any of you.

   Not because it is a secret or anything, just because I can't record it without it turning into total garbage.

   It is beautiful and perfect I want to make a whole game out of it and also Gnome's screen recording thing just completely shits itself when I try to record it, so you'll just have to pretend you understand just how good this all is.

     ok I've got a solution. I'm going to simply become a famous artist, and then the art museum will surely let me set up a little projector in a dark room where everyone can huddle together and quietly whisper kind things like "I don't get it" and "why is this in a museum" and "my child could make that"

     I've tried getting a good screenshot that captures it, but sadly it really needs to be in motion.

     esmevane, sorry repeated this.

     OBS also has the same problem, so idk maybe it's wayland's fault. I thought maybe I'd try to run this on my Windows gaming rig, but tbh I'm wondering if it's better this way, because it would get totally mangled by video encoding anyway and in the end, I'd still be sitting here alone* with something wonderful I can't show you.

     *(for a moderately large definition of "alone")
