after all of that shader nonsense, and with a weekend here before a stressful week, i admit i've spent most of my time just researching some complicated video game wikis for information.

but, because we're also one week away from the start of Brackey's 2022.2, the theme voting started. i'm not super optimistic. i'm working with at least one other, and he and i agreed that there was 1/6 that we definitely liked the best, and maybe 3/6 overall that we felt we could come up with an idea for. but 50% of the options being sort of / very disagreeable are not good odds.
