www.twitch.tv/dr_dubz CROWD CONTROLLED SELACO - Use the power of currency or patience to kill my ass in a variety of fun ways while I play Selaco, like, one of my fave games in recent years. Basically my own celebration for placing in an Art competition run by the devs, so yeah, come kill me.

Once again returning to my art hole
Do not perceive me until further notice

I was gonna leave this as just a blog that was sent out via RSS but the front page of Retro Achievements put up a Retro Roulette this morning, which gives me the impression that they're just going to move right along like nothing happened, so

Back to my hiatus hideout where I'll continue to recover my artistic powers until further notice

Here's the Retro Awardments for Blue Stinger I was working on.

I can't support them platforming hate and trying to non-committal "both sides" backstep.

My Retro Achievements claim was dropped despite being told it wouldn't do that in review so I'm done with 'em.

Inspired by @thekindestweapon.bsky.social, I'm gonna grab all the Retro Achievements I was working on and put them on my blog Soon™

You don't need the staff of a bigoted tracking website to give you points a pat on the back
You can make your own rules
Have your own sense of accomplishment

Reminder that you can find all my stuff at my website:
retroheart.net
Or links page:
links.retroheart.net
Or blog (RSS supported):

For as long as I can keep the lights on.
No ads, no tracking, no catering to fascists.

Combining a morning walk and grocery run, then will see if I can get a stream going this morning

Gonna be another hot day so I might have to cut it short if it really heats up, will have to see, but trying to make things happen where I can

Anyways, hard right turn today because I found a job listing that is perfectly aligned with my skill set and the work I would like to do (and previously did), and it's the kind of place that I want to work at as opposed to being A Job

So that's priority 1 today

Streaming PC broke its own ethernet drivers, and possibly other drivers, so I might have to postpone the stream I was planning this morning and reinstall

I love pressing the power button on a computer where literally nothing changed from the day before and having it self-destruct
September 1, 2025 at 3:05 PM
Okay, closing out this flurry of posts with some cleanup on something that never got done previously

Won't be able to get it done today but I think it could make a good "end of Summer" piece

Threw myself into a mental loop about Phantasy Star IV, how it was meant to be the definitive end of the franchise, and how it just kept going after that

Not as an indictment of Online, it just got me thinking about how many franchises were *intended to end* but were revived by corporate mandate

One minor regret about my art setup is that it revolves around a small office setup that I swear is 10 degrees warmer than any other part of my apartment when it's hot out due to the monitors and PC

I already kind of shut down on hot days so digital art is pretty much a non-starter

Call me a Burning Ranger because it's about to be 92 Freedom Degrees outside today

The last big thing for me right now is trying to get OBS to output my capture card audio to a custom device, and it just does not work, full stop

It outputs to desktop or OBS itself just fine, but not to another device, and of course searching for it brings up a bunch of generic OBS audio tutorials
