Description
I was watching Joel’s streams while making a crying animation for Octavia. I go to pick the color black, then suddenly, I’m flooded with error messages that make no doggone sense! I hit printscreen to hopefully capture the image of the sprite so I can recreate it. I looked at the picture and it made me chuckle. So, I’m posting this for prosperity.

Oh, nothing, it’s just unless her friend died, I’m not sure there a reason for Octavia to bawl like a baby. ;)
Hmm? What’s wrong?
Uh, okay…
Sniffling, I’ll do wailing later.

Hey, that’s a really neat trick! I’ll download the program so I can use it, just in case this happens again. Thank you so much!
Ahaha, owwww, the IRONY. I finished the program to help recover lost pixel art…and accidentally deleted the directory while trying to move it to another location. Owwww, that stings. All I have left is a half-functional version from the last time I cleaned-and-built it, and an example image.
…Hey, no wait! After some linux trickery, I’ve managed now to recover MY files. Hah.
Anyway, so like, the image I recovered initially with the program (takes maybe 30 seconds) is
and then with a bit of cleanup in GIMP it’s
I’ve uploaded the program to GitHub. If you click “Download ZIP”, the program itself is a java JAR, in the “dist” folder.
What kind is it? The wailing kind of crying, or just the sniffling kind of crying?
That’s very nice, pal, but I’m moving on. The crying animation is complete. I’d like to see your take, though. :)
Aw, bummer. I’m halfway through writing a program to do it immediately. You still want the program?
It would tick me off a little too.
It’s been recreated ages ago. No need to worry. :)

I was a tad miffed, that’s for sure. I hate wasted work above all else.
You didn’t rage, did you?
If it was fake, would I be raging something fierce? :P
