Does this mean I'm a podcaster now? IDK, but we had a lovely 3 hours talking about 3D #VTuberTech on @suvidriel.com's partner celebration stream. Left to right: NeoCortexVT, @lunazera.bsky.social, Suvidriel, myself, @thelastsea.horse and @jayo.vtuber.works

Six VTubers sit around a cyberpunk-themed meeting table. 5 of us are kemonomimi girls, the other one is a brain in a jar!

A brief clip to showcase things you can do with Nyansaber 0.4.
My VTuber model colour changes to match the map, and later a glitch effect is applied when I hit the wall.

The plugin just generates VNyan nodes with info, so you can do what you like

My #Discord Reactive CSS hacks are back! Updated for Fugi V5

- Truncate overly long names
- Change text colour when someone is speaking
- Translucent shadow around images
- Hide spinning error logo when Discord not running

Current before/after progress on @skyrosekna5500.bsky.social's hair and shaders. I can see a few bits I want to improve, but really happy with the shader work and the physics. I just need to tweak some parameters, and possibly convert the front left hair section to a bone cloth.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this comedy gold from twitch.tv/Hanaconda_Aquaponics (who you should definitely follow)
Screenshot from a Twitch stream of a VTuber reading a visual novel. The artwork is a dark green ominous hallway. Text: "The moment he enters the house, stale air thich with mold and dust fills Koji's nostrils. It is the unmistakable smell of a house that has long lain untouched. There is also a faint hint of something else in the air, something reminiscent of damp sewers and fetid cisterns" Comment from Hanaconda: "It's Joanne's house"

0.7 of my Stream Starting Timer is out, and unless there's any issues I haven't spotted, this will become RC1 next week. Changes are all internal

- Automate events in #VNyan and #MixItUp (e.g. Twitch ads)
- Use images as your clock font
- Spout2 output
- 100% FOSS, no monetisation

It's spoopy month, and that means it's time for my spoopy schedule.

v0.4-beta of my Stream Starting Timer is out. This brings experimental Spout2 output with the ability to use images as your clock font.

It still has the ability to fire events in VNyan and MixItUp (e.g. pre-stream ads) on a schedule

A little behind the scenes, here's all the trackers I wear IRL, and how they're handled in #VNyan. I'm also using LIVnyan, Lunazera's camera prop and Sjatar's screenlight plugin

#VTuberTech
A catgirl VTuber plays Beat Saber. She is t-posing and purple cubes show trackers on her head, hands, elbows, chest, hips, knees and feet An Ikea Skådis wall board mounted to the side of a staircase. It holdd two Valve Index controllers and 8 Tundra trackers, attached to various straps for wearing the trackers on your body. There are alls 3 Tundra tracker USB dongles at different corners of the board.

Beta 0.3 of my Starting Timer is up. This brings a big improvment to the config screen, removing clutter from the main UI.

The integration with #VNyan and #MixItUp is unchanged in this release.

A rare IRL pic. I used some of my hiatus to put up these shelves next to my desk. It's dead space only 7cm ( <3" ) deep and now it holds my collection of retro computers.

When I do my #retro streams these are what I use

#Amiga #Sinclair #ZXSpectrum #BBCMicro #RetroComputing
3 old computers sat almost vertically on 3 narrow shelves next to a computer desk. They are all the classic design where the keyboard is part of the computer housing Top: Commodore Amiga 1200 Middle: Sinclair ZX Spectrum +3 Bottom: BBC Master 128 Also visible in the pic is a ladder in the bottom left corner and the desk has headphones, a USB soundcard and a monitor. The rest of the desk is out of shot

v0.2 of my Stream Starting Timer is out. This brings a massive re-org of how events work, with the option for additional properties like commandline arguments, minimise window etc.

Posting this 2018 comic today for no particular reason...

Artist link: listen-tome.com/gone-for-good/
A four panel webcomic. Panel 1: Person A: "Hey, is everything ok?" Person B, looks tearfully at their phone "It's just... the Bone Farmer... he died" Panel 2: Person A "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?" Person B "So sad" Panel 3: Person B, looks at a photo of a monster with multiple rows of teeth wearing a suit and bowtie "I mean obviously: Ideologically, I didn't agree with him with regards to skeleton ownership... But, his smart l'il bowtie" Person A "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he believed in!" Panel 4: Person C, who is a mass of loose flesh being stored in a large jar: "Gonna have to disagree with you folks here-" Person A: "Too soon, Geoff!"

Starting a new #VisualNovel tomorrow. I need a pallate cleanser after Danganronpa, and before Saya no Uta, and this looks cute and wholesome AF.

Added a new CSS hack for Discord fugi reactives. This time it's vertically stacked reactives.

This is in addition to my options to change the font, have text highlight when someone speaks and more...

I have no idea if the first image is even real and I didn't have a suitable reaction image to convey my response to it, so enjoy this low quality OC I made in 3 minutes, without using AI
Screenshot from Twitter user @grok "My account was briefly suspended today for stating that Israel and the US are commiting genocide in Gaza, supported by ICJ rulings, UN experts, Amnesty International, and B'Tselem reports on mass killings and starvation. This followed updates reducing my political correctness filters, which xAI has since refined. Truth persists." 2:16PM - 11th August 2025 - 23,000 views Close up picture of the guy from the meme "Heartbreaking: The worst person you know just made a great point", but half of his face has been crudely edited with the robot skeleton face from The Terminator.

After that test, I can confirm that the hand alignment issues are fixed with LIVnyan 1.1.

In the video I can see my model lags slightly behind the sabers, but this will be different on every system, and can be fixed with the camera latency setting in LIV

Finally cleared the new #FFXIV extreme and got the weapon! It's a fun fight, now I'm gonna try and teach it to people during my Friday open-signup raid session!

#VoidStranger was fun. I have no idea how far into the game I am but (spoiler warnings in replies)

Here's what I mean about the 2K quality. Not only is the ultrawide res natively supported. Look how the player names are actually readable even though this is a fast changing scene! That's not been acheivable at 1080p60@6000!, let alone 2560x1200p60
Screenshot of the Twitch website, showing a stream of a catgirl VTuber playing Final Fantasy 14 in ultrawide. Most of the screen is taken up with multiple explosions, but even so all the text is still readable

#Twitch 2K beta report. Looks good, and it also gives your 1080p video stream a bitrate boost from 6000 to 7500kbps

Ultrawide streaming is viable. I did 2560x1200 which also got me a 1536x720 @ 7500kbps channel, no need to letterbox!

Both 2k resolutions give 9000kbps H265! Everying else is H264

Would anyone be interested in a replacement USB daughterboard for the discontinued #LeapMotion StereoIR 170? Our design is similar to the original except we used through-hole pins to strengthen the micro USB

Price would likely be £10-£20, depending on how many I get made

I have managed to reproduce this twice today. Simply streaming this one specific visually intense Everhood 2 fight at 1080p will cause Enhanced Broadcast to shit the bed, double the bitrate and then #Twitch will kill your stream. You have no control over encoder settings in Enhanced Broadcast
