I keep forgetting to post my wizard costume/cosplay that I wore to the renfest last month. I need to dig up the photos I got and then (later) write up a guide for how I made the staff from scratch. I'm finally happy with how it turned out, but there's still more I'd like to further adjust 🧙

I'm definitely appreciating all the infrastructure I use at work after trying to bootstrap my capstone project. CI/CD is crazy useful, but even just having ready to go libraries is huge. I wasted a ton of time over the weekend just trying to get a dumb dialog to pop up ;-;

I'm trying to see how long I can go without turning on the heat for the season and getting in VR appears to be helping me, as my desktop dumps a LOT of heat into my bedroom when playing games

After dealing with repeated hard drive failures over multiple years, hearing my drives spin down and park when turning off my computer still sends a twinge of fear down my spine

I can't wait to finally make it to the renfest this weekend, my wizard outfit is mostly fixed up from last year but there's a few things I'd like to add. I plan on (eventually) doing a writeup of some of the DIY parts of the project, but I'll get to that once I actually have time again

I hate finding some really cool looking art, then check out the "artist's" profile just to see that they have been posting similarly rendered art on a daily basis for over a year ;-;
I really wish I could just enjoy art and not have to stay alert to avoid genAI slop

"it can't be uninvented! it's here to stay!" it literally can be uninvented, none of that nonsense is happening on your computer, it's all happening in a massive and massively unprofitable data center somewhere. You can't run that locally. The moment someone pulls the plug, it's gone.
