I make stuff. Sometimes it's drawn, sometimes it's pixellated, sometimes it's playable, and other times it's spat out of a 3D printer.

Some Boomguy dude I needlessly made for a thing, I dunno.

Daggerfall's fun. Specially once you find out what you can do with equip enchantments.

Don't mind me, just goofin' with Doom a bit. May goof some more. It's fun. Specially goofin' those goofs in the goofer.

What started as a way to automate launching Blood's janky expansion somehow is now my boomer shooter launcher. Needs more logos, but everything on that list is launching without a problem, and quite quickly at that.

Now bad for a first time making a TUI in bash, I suppose.

Who'da thunk it Hexen of all things is what gets me to experiment with gzdoom. It's downright criminal the Fighter's gauntlets are so under-utilized, so doing something about it.

Still rough as hell but eh, not bad for only messing with it for a few days (counting the UI bits there too).

A more presentable version of that #3dprinted #mechanicalkeyboard I did a while ago. Now with 100% more numpad! Not enough of that in the mech keeb scene!

First time giving ortholinear keys a go, this... will take a bit of getting used to lol
September 2, 2025 at 5:16 AM
Yay, finally made a custom #mechanicalkeyboard!... and it tiny lol

Visually it's still very WIP, but the function's all there. I'll be daily-driving this for a while, see how it feels and think about a final look for it.

More info in thread 'cause screw it, I need the typing practice lol #diy #qmk

First time messing with e-paper, of course it's gonna be some Hola Mundo thingy lol #diy #epaper #esp32

If this ain't the tiniest dpad in the world it's gotta be close, right? #diy #dpad #3dprinting

Got myself a Watchy (v2.0 clone off Aliexpress) and slapped a 803040 1000mah battery on it for the lols, so designed a shell and strap for it.

Also uploaded it to Thingiverse if anyone else with one of these wants to make one: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6971561

Bit of a non-functioning test build to check on ergonomics and whatnot. You know what, feelin' alright, think I'll go ahead and print in higher quality and... well, less gray. And of course get to solder stuff up. #DIY #trackball #arduino

I'll only get to build it later next week, but for now there's a ball+ring test. Gave up on BTUs, they may have no static friction but FUCK are they noisy. Silicon Nitride static bearings will do, put some lanolin on the ball and it's fine.
February 22, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Yay, finally landed on a design. That shell still needs tweaks to make it expandable long-term, but for now that'll do.

Buckled and instead of DIYing the ball imma just use a 52.5mm billiards ball. They have decent color choices for those on aliexpress. #DIY #3dprinting #trackball

Started printing with flexibles, so made a new phone case. Not only looks subjectively alright, the slits in the back let me hook in my amp (velcro got annoying after a while). Let's see how this holds long-term. #3dprinting #DIY

Figured instead of spending so much time trying to make this trackball thing perfect from the get go and never actually get anything done, I'd instead make SOMETHING and iterate from there. Bit wasteful, but I do already have a few things I wanna immediately improve, so guess it's working lol

When you're sick as shit but can't stay forever in bed so you finally learn to wire a key matrix. As well as do something with these lil limit switch adapters I made recently. I should try to make a full board with these lil thingies. #3dprinting #diy #arduino #keyboards
January 14, 2025 at 9:07 PM
Well, by ripping the silicone dome off and just holding it in place with the custom frame, travel distance is increased and it feels WAY lighter, making these more suitable for typing!

Now I wanna make an actual keyboard with these to try out lol #diy #3DPrinting #keyboard
December 14, 2024 at 4:36 AM
Wanted a way to easily fit those tiny switches on projects, so that'll do. These suck for typing (too heavy), but will do quite nicely on a macro pad or a controller! #diy #3dprinting
December 10, 2024 at 1:19 PM
Some more design tweaks, sanded down the parts so there's no scratchiness from the print layer lines, and if that dummy handle I made simply to test the tactility with a proper grip doesn't mean this is actually feeling pretty alright, then I dunno. S'lookin' alright! #diy #3dprinting
November 29, 2024 at 11:02 PM
Surprised I didn't do one of these sooner. Meant to be tacked on as a module, because everything's better with a d-pad!

Still needs some tweaks, but as-is I sure would use it over a lot of current-day offerings lol #diy #3dprinting

Driver for the subwoofer finally arrrived, so got that done. For something small meant for a desk this packs more of a punch than I expected! #diy #audio #3Dprinting

Drew this guy a while ago but never shared it here, so... I'm sharing it here lol #art #illustration #krita #mecha #robot

#commission for @oziidayeen.bsky.social of their sona doing... well, I dunno, and I don't think it's the righty time to ask, let them be!

My thinkpad doesn't have a numpad and could use something more portable than the average USB ones, so... just made one! Used kailh square mouse buttons and an #arduino pro micro.

Sure, tactility's compromised due to size... but look at the cute lil' thingy lol #diy #3dprinting
