To all refugees form #bluesky - welcome. This is a place of oddity, peculiarity, and lovely people.

It can take a little longer to find your place here, but you will, if you try. So welcome, and say hello.

Looks like we may have an influx of new people on the Fediverse after that mess on Bluesky.

Be kind to them. Adapting to the technical and social aspects of Fedi can take some time.

No gay robots this time, but gay stuff inside giant robots? We can do that.

The veteran-pilot-turned-mech-mechanic has some "tips" for the newbie pilot.

(The "tip" is where they're going on a date after the mission.)

More gay robots.

Not as happy with how this one turned out as the last one, but we spent about twice as long on the last one, so it seems to really just come down to a matter of taking my time to get the quality I want.

Some regularly scheduled maintenance for the robot girlfriend.

I'm pretty sure, it is not a new idea, but as I was waiting for the bus, it suddenly struck me:

LLMs (falsely called "ai") are a cargo cult.

Some people dropped a few boxes with apparently magic qualities on this planet, and we're increasingly rebuilding all our civilisation around them.

I've changed my username on #twitch ! My stream is now at https://twitch.tv/KiriArtemisVT !

(This has been coming for a long time. Finally bit the bullet.)

The number of times I say "xkcd standards comic" as a *verb* is mildly concerning.

I'm Darmoking pretty hard with that one.

[re: mental health, physical injury, death, venting]

I can feel an indentation in my head where it got banged. I wonder if that's actually like a dent in the skull or just the skin. Also hard to tell if it's even new because of the fact that I have a massive, deep scar right next to the spot […]

On Friday I sustained a minor concussion, and this morning around 4am I woke up bawling my eyes out because I had a dream where my best friend was still alive.

Not been a super great time.

Drew some poly stuff for #pridemonth Neglected to post it earlier.

Cute throuple art melts my heart, so I need to draw more of it.

Hi I drew a thing.

Also, I like robot girls.

Let’s be real

You know things are escalating out of control when you have to go from printf debugging to printk debugging.

Quick morning sketchies. Figured we could all use some of this right now.

#gdc was depressing this year.

Didn't find anything that really excited me in the expo hall, and the conversation topics were mostly around all the mass layoffs.

The W4 Games talk about #godot progress was pretty neat, but I had to miss the actual Godot meetup to get to it. :c

Anyway. I […]

I have been getting some weird scam calls lately.

It always starts with "Hey! We finally managed to get ahold of you!"

Then they identify themselves as "It's <name> from your local <type of business>". (They don't specify the name of the business.)

Then they ask if I want any of their […]

Finally finished this one, after a couple of weeks. Something nice to go along with the Wolfenstein streams I've been doing lately.

Also because fuck fascists.

Image CW for nazis and violence.

Oddly important pieces of life advice from places you wouldn't really consider it:

1. "Meet the Sniper" - when he says "Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet." If you swap the "killing" out with "Always have a plan to remove toxic elements from your life"? Honestly […]

when I was young, adults with authority over me loved to tell me that I'd agree with them when I was older, but as I approach 40 they're still wrong and I wish I'd picked more fights with them

@kit It'll be there when you're ready!

Audio phonemes to visemes is something that could still make it in. I've been sitting on an old prototype for it for a while now, but it's still pretty low priority because the mouth tracking seems to be pretty good otherwise.

#snekstudio, my open-source 3D #vtuber software, actually has a website now!

Been putting that off for a *while* because I really don't like webdev and had a hard time figuring out what to say.

Two issues left before the Alpha 2 milestone (that I keep kicking down the […]
