Also got GZDoom compiled from source because the flatpak just *refuses* to see the wads for some reason even after I gave it darn near full access to my filesystem.
compiling and running it was fairly straightforward, but I question why the instructions are in a wiki page instead of a build script

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)

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: 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 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.

Finally got my Intel Arc B580 in and installed into the Pink Machine. Running benchmarks and trying out shenanigans in Blender. It seems to work, but I keep seeing references online to a "oneAPI" which is not showing up in Blender 4.3.2 via Flatpak nor direct download from the Blender website.

An hour was not enough time. I was envisioning a crowded street funneling into a drawbridge jump, but I figured out quickly I don't like working with the CSGBoxes (I may have been doing it wrong) and would rather use Blender for enviro.
Also had trouble figuring out texture overrides so no red guys

I miss when GPUs would put cool renders of fairies and dragons and space creatures on the box
I'm low key hoping Intel would be the one to revive that gimmick
Heck, if all of the major makers want an excuse to do it just slap some robots on the box... but dragons and fairies and monsters are cooler

Found a barely used sketchbook. I remember mentioning "Carrot Cake Saga" before but I've put more thought into the salad world and soup world than I ever did a cake world. Maybe could use the cake theme for RAMP 2025 if they're still taking repeat contributors?

1 Feb 2025 Drawpile doodles.
Not much to say. Sparkler on the right is typically drawn with a thong and omitting it only make the sketch slightly less dubious
Also loosely sketched Bonnie in the bottom is the protag from Buknight: The Order of the Golden Crest the-syreth-clan.itch.io/buknight

"Show main menu in a separate toolbar" is the first thing I toggle in @jetbrains.com IDEs these days after a fresh install because the new default hamburger menu adds an extra click to the workflow that I don't like.
(I've used Rider and IntelliJ a good bit, but I've never tried PHPStorm before.)

Got these in a few days ago, reading them between breaks
(I accidentally clipped the corners on the full size art prints but I'm still gonna put them on my walls. Got a cool surprise too, but I haven't plugged in my USB DVD player to try it yet)

The bits I added to today's Drawpile isolated from the full canvas.
Another interpretation of Claire with a tail ring. Anya Willove color concepts in red. A weird cat (representing myself) carrying red cat friend (representing VAdaPEGA in this case). Friendly doodle of SUVI, Chiasa, Ricco, Maya

I hope I tagged this right.
I had been drafting a script that was placeholdering a character with Chloe from Freedom Planet 2, but seeing as I don't own that IP and my use case doesn't fit that tone, I wanted to design Claire as an alternative.
Feels a bit too Minerva Mink and not enough "critter"

Spent my afternoon: I've got the pretty pink PC functional! Installing Fedora KDE Workstation. Intent here is to *clearly* separate dev from gaming.
The Sparkle Titan Blue Intel Arc B580 was unfortunately too big to fit, so I'm using an old GTX 1660 Ti until I get can get a smaller non-Nvidia card.

Oh, apparently this is for the crash handler. It wasn't responding to clicks last time so I had no idea what it was supposed to be for.

I just saw this weird green alien icon after a KIO-slave crash and I don't entirely know what that even is.

A quick google api.kde.org/legacy/4.14-... suggests it's a worker that mostly pertains to file handling in KDE?
Why an alien? For a couple of minutes I thought I grabbed some malware.
