make the server spooky for Halloween

[waxen shoal]

Server icon becomes Starbucks for the day

[quick fractal]

I'll keep note for April 1st
Are we entirely unable to seasonally decorate the server but for April fools

[twin ginkgo]

who wants to make a PSL banner

[quick fractal]

We can certainly do a seasonal banner (but the extent of which I dunno, I'm not an artist or editor)

Just a banner of charcoa- yeah this ain't better than the previous idea.

Also I think we might have already done that

My intrusive thought is to use exactly the same banner but edit the rainbow for blood red

[twin ginkgo]

plus maybe a jack-o-lantern just so it's not too tampon-advertisement-y

[quick fractal]

My thoughts... Did not go in that direction. Perhaps for good reasons.

[twin ginkgo]

well you know
anyway

[twin ginkgo]

really it made me think of this early youtube piece of modern art https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcwfEMdV-aM&ab_channel=RyanTaylor

[twin ginkgo]

@granite stirrup thoughts?

[quick fractal]

Goddamn it, why did you bring that up
Scrap the idea. No. Let's not. I self-veto.

[granite stirrup]

I can definitely do that!

[twin ginkgo]

Amazing! But also go to bed

[granite stirrup]

Just woke up to take my mom and sister to the airport. Also, YOU go to bed lol

[twin ginkgo]

Dang I thought I'd finally found another person with as messed up a schedule as mine
Good night

[granite stirrup]

Oh I just don't sleep well as a rule. No schedule about it

Also, for posterity and those that haven't seen all of Don Hertzfeld's Oscar nominated animation: https://youtu.be/W7JyjZI3LUM?si=qTr3Oc0vj2Xm_sHj

[quick fractal]

Hertzfeld's works are amazing though yeah

I digress but please check them out

[delicate badger]

Banners are technically supposed to be selected by boosters fwiw

Not that we've done that in 18 months

[quick fractal]

Yeah, uh, I kind of forgot. We might just go back to that.

[granite stirrup]

Too much? (cw: blood, jump scare)

No added blood, looped.

[delicate badger]

Can you splice in the blood wave from the elevator in the Shining

[granite stirrup]

absolutely

[red dirge]

Do you know the song it plays btw... its a swedish christmas song...

[twin ginkgo]

i didn't but got that from the comments 😂

[haughty trail]

New idea: Nespresso pod

Or better yet: just screenshot the price of something on this website https://weberworkshops.com/

[quick fractal]

that's actually comical, I love it

[bleak moth]

Can we get some Vivace branding

[fallow gate]

100% this, but with EAF in the Goosebumps font formed from the blood.

I am aware that’s asking a lot

[granite stirrup]

I honestly think it can only be 5 seconds but I'll see what I can do.

[burnt geyser]

hell yeah

[fallow gate]

OMG you actually did it you mad man!

[gloomy mango]

Lmao

[granite stirrup]

The feature-length banner, director's cut. Coming soon to a this-thread near you.

[burnt geyser]

@granite stirrup could you send us the original one too, we’re afraid of loosing it lol

[granite stirrup]

It's posted here: #banner-select message

[burnt geyser]

fantastic thank you

[burnt geyser]

hm not seeing a time limit on their rules for the banner, I’ll try uploading tonight

[bleak moth]

Can we put a BQuan video as the banner next if there’s no time limit

Compressed one ideally

[granite stirrup]

This isn't great, but it's the only way I could get it under 8mb

[gloomy mango]

I feel like it’s funnier when it’s bad

[haughty trail]

Downgrade from a da vinci piece to a michelangelo piece

[granite stirrup]

I'm sure I could make it worse

[unkempt swan]

Speaking of making it worse, @lunar hawk apparently wants it to be sepia-tinted.

[lunar hawk]

That, or incorporate Trogdor the Burninator into it.

Or both.

[delicate badger]

Sepia Trogdor for all the geriatric millenials

"First make an S"

• respirator cycles
  "Then make... a more different S"

[quick fractal]

Oh. Yeah that actually took a moment.
I recognise the name but do not recognise where it's from

[delicate badger]

Homestar Runner, specifically Strongbad Emails

[quick fractal]

yeah, it was never a thing in my time
...in my time, I'm not that old I swear.

[delicate badger]

If you're over the age of 15 it was in your time

[quick fractal]

probably just not here then

[unkempt swan]

Idk any of these words...

[delicate badger]

https://tenor.com/view/strong-bad-homestar-runner-sbemail-strong-bad-email-what-is-wrong-with-you-gif-26440191

Didn't they put the Trogdor song into one of the Guitar Hero games as well?

[lunar hawk]

"Consummate V's.
I said consummate!"

Strongbad emails hold a special place in my heart, alongside the OG star wars gangsta rap.

[delicate badger]

Knock em out the box, Luke

[granite stirrup]

If I'm putting in trogdor, I'll have to add The Cheat having a lightswitch rave

the system is down

[fallow gate]

That moment when you walk back into a meeting and realise the output has gone from art to insanity whilst you went to the bathroom.

[lunar hawk]

I am so glad that the cheat is not dead.

[worthy niche]

hey Llama, we're wanting to upload this soon (thank you btw!!) but when we download it its 16mb and the limit is 10

[worthy niche]

nevermind Vort rescued us hehe

[granite stirrup]

I'm still making the longer version, but it was never going to get any smaller so that's probably for the best 😅

Thanks for the assist @unkempt swan

[worthy niche]

if you feel like you want to continue working on it and manage to get it smaller sized we're more than happy to update the banner

but also no pressure whatsoever

[granite stirrup]

It would probably be easier to talk discord into allowing mp4 banners than to get a gif smaller 😂

[worthy niche]

good luck with that

[granite stirrup]

I'm just happy I can make the server more queer or spoopy, depending on the season

[worthy niche]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[elder peak]

@granite stirrup the new banner is amazing
