Drew another #robotgirl . Trying to branch out from the design elements I've been using like the ones on @JunkRaven . (JunkRaven art, for reference: https://vt.social/@ExpiredPopsicle/112871101986965065 ).

Steam Deck shell conversion complete! Did the whole conversion on stream yesterday, taking about 6.5 hours!

But just look at it. c.c

Grueling process, but the results are heckin gorgeous.

I drew @virtually_char , the extremely cool forest dragon VTuber who does 3D modeling work on her Twitch streams! I recommend checking her out if you don't already follow her!

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

You should have to learn how to mod Skyrim and Doom as part of any CS program.

Not just create basic mods, but also how to make a complicated setup.

"Must have been vibe-coded" is going to be my response to every high-profile bug, glitch, or other software issue going forward.

Felt like doing some more #poly #yuri stuff. Getting better at drawing the scenery! Still terrible at drawing hands.

This started off as a little on-stream demo of the Blender Layer plugin for #blender and #krita , where I posed a simple mannequin (my own model) with a couple of blocks, set a camera position, and then painted over it in Krita to make […]

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.

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.

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

I'm Darmoking pretty hard with that one.

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.

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