that is the title of my new zine, which you can download now!!! it's available in browser too but to get the full experience, you should download Decker and open it with that (this is also a ploy to get more people to use Decker, which i love very much)
the zine's free but donations are highly encouraged on account of i'm very broke :)I have an unanswered question: if I find 4 slices of bread on the ground and eat 5 of them what does that say about my personality?
I have a followup: what if I leave an additional slice of bread for a future visitor?
this was really, really the thing I needed to read about this stuff right now; I think if I went into detail I'd mostly be saying what you already said so I'm gonna go link this to people on account of it whips ass.
and also just the experience of going through it is great. this feels so much like a photocopied zine in a way I don't think I've seen before, not just in the overall look of it but in how it's structured around the combination of typing, handwritten/drawn elements, and photos that have started to be from another dimension when reproduced in black and white. This is a real cool program and an awesome thing to make with it.
yesss omg thank u!! the way Decker dithers pictures is just so juicy and yea, very Xerox-y in the way it changes things. im really glad i nailed the zine feel on the first one :)
I loved the structure of this! The fact that I couldn’t be confident that I had seen/read everything was simultaneously frustrating and appealing. Like I needed to embrace the lack of closure and the fact that exploration and discovery was part of the experience.
