itt: shit rpers do that they think looks fancy/good/hipster but you think is dumb

[(Anonymous)]

inspired by the whole meme in widetext for some reason

changing the font they use when a character is doing a text post. it doesn't fill me with rage or anything, but I don't understand what the point is. everything we write is in text.

i do this because i've played with a few fucking idiots who seem to forget we're doing text communication after a while, and start commenting on my character's hair or clothes or something

if the people in my games could stop being stupid, i could stop using courier to indicate that a post is in text

I basically never write in courier when making a text post or having a conversation. Fuck that.

but what if it's like:

"So I'm talking out loud now," said Y, scribbling on paper, but now I'm writing.

in the same post/tag?

If they're actually handwriting something on paper, courier makes even less sense to use to me? In that scenario, I'd probably just do it like this:

"Why are you creating characters for this example anyway?" Anne asked incredulously at the anon writing the post. She pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down a note:

"Note to self: stay away from the crazy roleplayer."

>everything we write is in text.

i don't like using courier for text posts either, but are you legit high right now? do you really not understand the difference between a text post and a video post?

ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

You're misunderstanding, what I mean is we're always writing in text and the font people use to make text posts online is usually closer to the default font anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

I think this is very much a YMMV thing. Personally I like it because it lends an easy visual distinction - sure, everything we write is in text but that's not so for the characters.

Though that said, it does bug me when people use the code that results in the text going tiny. I'd rather no coding at all than coding that makes stuff that much harder to read.

one entry per page journals with navigation posts

i will pee on everything you love

[(Anonymous)]

if you have less than five entries per page you suck

Re: itt: shit rpers do that they think looks fancy/good/hipster but you think is dumb

just use the links on the nav post and stop whining

Re: itt: shit rpers do that they think looks fancy/good/hipster but you think is dumb

[(Anonymous)]

i do that

do you not understand how to click links

Re: itt: shit rpers do that they think looks fancy/good/hipster but you think is dumb

[(Anonymous)]

are you another idiot who doesn't know how to use it?

Re: itt: shit rpers do that they think looks fancy/good/hipster but you think is dumb

[(Anonymous)]

i don't want to have to load that extra shit

Re: itt: shit rpers do that they think looks fancy/good/hipster but you think is dumb

[(Anonymous)]

the reason these are shit is because dreamwidth lets you expand cuts straight from the recent entries page instead of having to click on every entry to read it

so in a journal that isn't doing that hipster shit you can just scroll down the recent entries page and open the cuts to read everything without loading a dozen entries separately

having a navigation sticky is ok if you show multiple entries per page tho

Re: itt: shit rpers do that they think looks fancy/good/hipster but you think is dumb

[(Anonymous)]

but they look so much nicer than a bunch of entries per page

Re: itt: shit rpers do that they think looks fancy/good/hipster but you think is dumb

[(Anonymous)]

i won't stop

splashes in your golden puddles

something different

[(Anonymous)]

can someone link one of these that actually looks good?

i have less of a problem with functionality than the fact that it looks stupid and tumblr like

ITT: maximum asspain

[(Anonymous)]

gj op

but seriously i don't get the one entry per page thing

it's neither artistic nor functional, just pointless and dumb

Re: itt: shit rpers do that they think looks fancy/good/hipster but you think is dumb

[(Anonymous)]

So set the dreamwidth settings to display other journals in your own style by default. Problem solved.

literally the only reason i do this is because when i try and put my app under a cut it fucks up the formatting and i'm a moron who doesn't know how to html

but i don't want some huge-ass app taking up the entire screen so i hide it behind a navigation page

[(Anonymous)]

hope you have a lot of pee on hand cuz i aint changing jackshit
