this is probably like the most ass backwards way to do this but here i am coding mo's notebook and pause screen
as far as i see my options here are
- using actors to make writing appear in the notebook as you find shit (the current approach) but only 10 actors are allowed on one page at a time
- having like 15 different backgrounds with the different notebook portions, which would require like a bunch of permutations of different unlocked content and would be a massive clusterfuck
- secret third thing?
update 30 minutes later: im stupid. of course you can have bigger sprites
i could probably go farther by just appending the asterisk sprite to the front of one of the notebook sprites, buuuuuuuuut i think im just gonna leave it for now
