Update your software, y'all

So work on Raridoom2 is going slowly, but hey, what else is new?

You know what wasn't new: my version of inkscape. I was still using version 1.2 (from May of 2022), because it was still working fine. 

Fun fact: Inkscape 1.2 has a little bug where if you have an export window open (like when you're exporting sprites) and using copy-paste (like you do when you're spriting or copying paths from another inkscape document), it'll clear your gradients when you save it. This happened once before, but it was an easy fix because it was early enough in the process that I only lost a couple things that were easily fixable.

But last night, it ate all my cacodemon sprite gradients. "Where are its eyes? Did I delete the eyes? And it looks really see-through, which makes sense because it's bigger than, say, the imps; but- wait, where is the carapace?" 

Nom, nom.

This has been a PSA from baha: update your software.

also i was going to just not have pain elementals in the game because i hated them and wasn't sure how to justify them creating the hornets but then i realized 1) it looks just like the caco so i could just recolor it and 2) portals are canon in the mlp universe so it's not spitting out new changelings but instead summoning them. so pain elementals are going to be a thing.
