As an FYI: you should definitely clean the spaces between the keys

Got me some new keyboard switches for that clicky tactile feel

Also giving the spaces between a wipe down while I'm at it

A gorgeous Pride themed icon for 2024 drawn by the fantastic Tori, which captures a really confident side of me!

Thanks so much again!

A Coy Look

Been a while since I pulled out the pen and markers, but when he gave me this look I couldn’t not capture it!

I started working on this in Blender but I forgot the reason why.

Anyway this is real amateur hour work but as long as the UV unwrap works, it works

Paws out for Pride!

Sometimes you gotta show your beans off, so I got this lovely piece showing the 1978 Pride flag designed by Gilbert Baker, before pink fabric got too hard to get!

Thanks Lav, they came out so good!

Sun's Out, Beans Out

Sometimes you just want to get away from it all and have a break, so that's exactly what Flaw did! With the hot heat from the summer day (and maybe a quick dip in the water), he's taking a break to enjoy a nice cold treat!

This was a fantastic piece made by Alison—it came out super good :3

Please Elgato

Please write software that doesn’t churn up CPU cycles for reasons that are unclear to me a user

This diagram sort of sums up my experience in The X-Com Files

#XCom #Gaming

Of course the first run I finish in #SuperMetroid with the new controller sets a new personal best

To be fair, I made a lot less errors playing that run, but we had some real nail-biting moments, including nearly getting Phantooned!

Getting closer to hitting the 1 hour mark, I just need some more practice!

Upgrading my #Pixelfed instance was pretty easy ngl

though one thing that stood out to me was that the instructions to upgrade were not immediately easy to find.

Wonder if it’s worth suggesting that the upgrade instructions should be made available as a standalone page to help admins find it more easily?

#Fediverse

I’ve been going through the #NeoLemmix Introduction Pack and the mechanics of the #Lemmings engine never ceases to amaze me. Like I wish I had this level pack 20 years ago to find out all the little tips and tricks that I could have used to get through the levels, instead of having to quit because it was too difficult for my small-dogged brain to comprehend.

There’s also cool mechanical changes to the engine, like being able to select a lemming moving left or right, being able to step back and forward in time, and a physics mode that shows all of the terrain off so there’s no hidden surprises!

As for my own explorations, this Christmas Lemmings pack that I looked at on stream gave me some real trouble— this level took like an hour to solve after running into many brick walls, dropping the climber in the wrong location, and the fact that I had to save like 98% of Lemmings hurt me real bad lol

To be fair, most of the Lemmings soundtrack goes so good even the creator doesn’t want you to hear it in the VoD

Gonna splash up my just chatting screen instead of doing the sensible thing of getting follower alerts to appear on stream

It’s gonna be a fun addition for something you’ll see for like less than 5 minutes in the entire stream lmao

My expensive mouse is a fidget toy for one reason, and that is the toggle button that unlocks the scroll wheel so you can just spin it and it goes

I find myself clicking it and it makes the noise and I idly toggle that switch even when I don’t need to

So this was the next step #Telegram is taking

Ah yes, I would like to use “The Algorithm”.

New on my website: the gallery! Now you can see all the art I’ve made and received in one spot!

I wondered how long it’d take before we got ads in #Telegram.

The timeline (made from memory so it’s probably not 100% accurate):

1. Shitcoin no-one asked for (which later got canned)
2. Telegram Premium (with ‘exclusive stickers’)
3. Purposely taking username handles to be resold
4. Stories
5. Chat group ‘boosting’
6. Ads in feeds (we are here)
7. ???
8. It sinks, then users flood the next VC funded chat app and cycle repeats

(edit: apparently this has been a thing in larger channels since 2021)

I got my avatar working in #Resonite!

Sure, it hasn’t had any optimisations applied to it but it works! I followed a tutorial to bring in the FBX mesh, then dragged in my textures to link them to the mesh bits like the tail and eyes. I set the sliders to the same value as with my VTuber model, then I applied some physics to the ears and tail.

I wish I knew how to optimise the model itself further (since I know performance is a sticking point for users) but for I guess it’s good for now.
