I will primarily post status updates or share what I've been working on. I'll be curate my feed for that purpose. I don't have much emotional bandwidth left for opinion pieces in or out.

If I unfollow or never followed you, I'm probably just trying to protect myself. It doesn't mean I dislike you.
yeah no I gave bsky an honest try but I'm gonna be dipping outta here too in favor of sticking to RSS.
I'm already falling into the trap of making weeks-long plans for things to be posted and how to best present it in a good light. Instead of just. Doing what I was gonna do and not making it a show.

okay like I KNOW subpurb owl is supposed to be a superbowl pun but I am 99% sure that I am going to make Superb Owl a cartoonish rocket launcher style weapon skin for DOOM as soon as I decide what I think that should look like

I imagine it playing the Super Mario Bros 2 slot jingle on launch

I am sure I never played this but there's a lot going on in it thematically / aestheticly that makes me feel like I must have.

okay I guess I felt more strongly about that than I care to admit, the site is now static and I added a notice that it won't be getting updated anymore.

I'll be hitting my old fandom blog backup b.risingslash.net with the SimplyStatic treatment within the next two weeks. I haven't properly maintained it in years, and leaving it up risks Wordpress shenanigans causing problems.

risingslash.tumblr.com and blog.risingslash.net should not be affected.

Just to maybe save some people some future heartache, Likes on bsky are **public** via the API. They are just not visible on the default website front-end.

I don't know why they have things this way as it gives a false sense of security, but that is my current understanding.

alright, took me way longer than I'd have liked, but I got Ultimate Doom Builder compiled (ended up having to get msbuild from a strange github repo and get libXfixes-devel despite not using Wayland, and specifically force Breeze theme to make the text readable vs Breeze Dark)

also I'm feeling particularly disoriented that I've started having the same "wait, is that me?" reaction to my avatar icon on bsky that I do when I see myself in the mirror in passing.

I *adore* Superbuns, I really hope there actually is another season getting made 🐇🎈

I really hope they sell DVDs or a BluRay sooner rather than later (they won't).

I mean, I'm making my own backups on USB flash drives either way, but I'd much rather buy an official thing with a cool decorated box.

cw: blood/injury mention

ACS Stop the Blood interactive online course is short and free:

Also, be familiar with your First Aid kits. Buy fresh ones if you've had to peck supplies out of old ones. Don't wanna find out the bandages are missing when you need 'em.

cw: Cult of the Lamb videogame comic book thingy

I'm glad to see the game get its narrative fleshed out in a more traditional story format. But also that means there's no way to have it "Basically Animal Crossing vibes" since stuff that's mostly optional in game isn't a choice here. 😿

I wasn't having coffee for the past 4 days. I was having caffeine withdrawal irritation and headaches without realizing the cause. oops.

Anyway, I want more books about being a small toy or fairy or talking animal or something.

I didn't think I really needed this, but there were a lot of tips for organizing the GLTF files to escape the pain of overlying on "make editable" or "make local" and good tips on separating the animation libraries to be easier to reuse and update. Worth a watch or two.

I know Little Guy is a little baby doggo but he tires me out constantly with him testing the limits of "No!" and constantly pestering Biggum and it feels like every time I've sat down from dealing with them I've lost another entire hour of the day.

Kinda makes me not want to bother leaving my room.

Trying out Kernel 6.13.2 for this Fedora box by using Koji docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-...

The install snippet kept having issues so I ended up manually installing the rpms with sudo dnf install --allowerasing --best --setopt=protected_packages=kernel* --setopt=installonly_limit=5`

half tempted to try streaming 3d modeling shenanigans again

but also I wanna marathon My Little Pony Friendship is Magic in the background while I do it and I never did figure out how to move background audio to a different recording track from the VoD to avoid getting copyright slammed
