TL;DR:
- I, Cait of ToasterCatball, am no longer CAI-TAn (or K-T). She is officially my original character and mascot.

three PNGTuber apps tried so far and nobody lets me drag and drop a damn file

only one has an OS-native file dialog and the other two don't understand that a double-click generally means i want to load the file

veadotube would probably be way better, if it weren't for the fact that I have a couple of parts that have multiple states, meaning to get the png working with all desired features, I'd need to export SIXTY FOUR INDIVIDUAL IMAGES instead of just 20
unbelievable that pngtuber+ is an industry standard tool and it has
- 10 hard states
- no keybind configuration
- defaults to one-button keybinds for states that get in the way of every videogame ever because it's JUST 0-9
- you use WASD to fix sprite origins

At this point it's abundantly clear I'm going to need my own webserver to host things like communications (possibly Stoat and/or IRC?), probably a custom restreaming relay, plus press kits and other gamedev website-y goodness.

Problem is, I just don't have the income to support it...

wait the "compelling new territory" is actually just CAI-TAn

(sort of, she's technically in a quantum state where she's at both opposite ends of the X axis at the same time -- desperate to find a purpose for herself to not Die, whilst also being resistant to her old parameters as a killbot)

I'm kinda considering giving in to the system and flipping my stream overlay to the "correct" orientation of VTuber-on-the-right. I originally made the overlay on the left partially just to be a rebel, but now I feel like that was pointless, and I'm kinda considering "fixing" it.

Thoughts?

hell yeah i love looking up trivia about random cultural systems and mythologies specifically to give a silly dumb subtle piece of flavor text on a scene that only some people are going to get

Finally decided to put up fists and fight troubleshooting my VR fullbody trackers, and surprisingly managed to diagnose the issue: it was just the USB hub I was using was crapping out.

If anyone's got recommendations for a USB hub that's decent for Vive tracker receivers, lemme know.

R.I.P. VGen doesn't recognize Github links LOL

vtubers arent supposed to be coders, it's not allowed
