Just watched a nice rom-com and now I got a sad.

New rule for #MidasSystem : Protect the Penguin at all costs. Give him your weapons and armor. Heal him. Buff him. Feed him kills. Take a bullet for him. This is the way. #ttrpg #homebrew

Incredible.

Something that's been on my mind for a while: Fat jokes about Trump really don't help. It's low hanging fruit and he's done plenty to be mocked for without it. All it does is hurt overweight people. It hurts when every third joke is about his body or eating habits, and he clearly doesn't care.

I literally found out about this morning's news from a meme video. No headlines in my other social feeds, just insane. I don't know enough about the situation in Venezuela to have an informed opinion yet, but sneak attack bombing and abducting leaders doesn't make one look like the good guy.

#MidasSystem Ability cards are now horizontal too, just for consistency. Only treasures and consumables are going to be vertical, to distinguish them as cards that go in the player's hand rather than sit in the play zones. And again, gets to see a lot more of the art.

Using songs from Spotify for your alarm clock will skew your wrapped a bit. Working currently on building up an mp3 library to cut the cord on Spotify, but figured there was no harm sharing.

Been gone for a few weeks dealing with the real world. My grandmother passed and it's been a stressful time all around. Trying to get back into my online spaces to feel normal again. In lighter news, I may finally be getting my a college degree. Not the one I originally aimed for, but I'll take it.

Version 3 templates are done! (Part 1 of 2) #MidasSystem #ttrpg #homebrew

Well... this didn't wind up working out. Recorded the first episode... The Game + my Vtuber + a recording software = too much for my PC and the whole first episode's recording came out at 5FPS. Just gonna play and enjoy this one to myself I guess.

That's my secret Cap... I was already the guy in the chair. Gonna start playing #Dispatch tonight and recording my first experiences with it for Youtube. I've seen like, half of the first epsidoe, but that was enough to sell me and I haven't looked past that.

Going to make all the cards in RGB for now as it's still an all-digital game... we'll cross the CMYK bridge if we ever get there.

Realization: I had been using Japanese TCG ratios instead of MtG/Standard like I thought. Which means I need to redo most of the cards. At least I realized before I got too much farther in. Reworking the rations also means another pass at card design. Left is old, right is new. Any thoughts? #MIDAS

Captains Log: 12,602 Everything still sucks.

Quest cards have been overhauled. (Art is placeholders from Google images for now) #MidasSystem #ttrpg #homebrew

Doing new tweaks to the Vtuber model, saw Vroid added tails and decided screw it, we're keeping the ears now. Still gotta design some new t-shirts, but we'll keep the S4G one saved for next year's @slender4gender.bsky.social The eyes turned out nice too. #vtuber #vroid #vroidstudio

Captain's Log - Day 12,592 This place sucks.

PROTOMEN ACT III SOON, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Oh, that's cool as hell. Guessing this is from NMH 3? Gotta get around to playing that sometime.

Fuck Ohio. Bad state. BAD. Stop it. (Online ID law couldn't pass on its own merits, got shoved through on a budget bill instead.)

#MidasSystem #ttrpg #homebrew Naturally had to make a lot of placeholder assets for MIDAS playtests until a later art stage. I couldn't resist sneaking in some of cool weapons from fandom... #DevilMayCry #RWBY

The Vision of Escaflowne (1996) #animationtidbits #sakuga #animation #2danimation

#MidasSystem #ttrpg Here's a bunch of character cards under the new format. These have also had their Passives altered following rule changes and game balance adjustments. I want every character usable in both PvE and PVP, and some of their abilities just didn't work in one or the other.

Old layout/new layout comparison. Cards are the same size as before. I like being able to show more art, and since the players use tokens on the map now instead of the cards themselves, they didn't need to have a clearly defined before color to differentiate them from creatures.

Practical Cairo: Did you overhaul the card layouts AGAIN? Creative Cairo: No no, trust me! I think this was a really good idea! Player/equipment cards with a horizontal orientation, allowing them to be stacked, making the math involved in stats calculation super easy. Also show more art. Thoughts?

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

Let's Keep Calling!

Last thing we need is credit card companies being morality police.

Manic episode morning: Woke up at 6 Took out the trash Cooked a full meal Paid my bills Cleaned the kitchen About to vacuum I'm a little concerned about when I come down from this one.

This is very good. www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

Wow, the other night was a doozy. Really need to get back on my meds.

It's 5 AM and I cleaned my kitchen. It's 5 AM and I can't get to sleep. It's 5 AM and I'm gonna regret this. It's 5 AM and ...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

A lot of audio was bad from yesterday's stream. Lessons were learned. I was still able have fun editing this and make something out of it... it's mostly memes though. youtu.be/7D3xju4dva8?... *enable CC for clearer audio and bonus punchlines* #Persona5 #ThePhantomX

OK, little late, but we going live! www.twitch.tv/doc_cairo

4PM EST - Vtuber soft debut! www.twitch.tv/doc_cairo Gonna check out the newly launched Persona 5 gacha game! Pulled an all-nighter piecing together some temp stream assets, super hyped to show what I cooked!

The sudden and inescapable urge to rearrange your furniture and living space when you should be pursuing other priorities.

OK... the time has come to try this again. It's been a few years since I tried it but S4G really lit a fire under me to try again. I'm gonna soft launch my Vtubing tomorrow with Persona 5X. Exact time TBD. www.twitch.tv/doc_cairo

@slender4gender.bsky.social Congrats to the Slenderverse community on reaching the 5k fundraising milestone! Vtuber Slenderman is now yours! hub.vroid.com/en/character... You'll need VMagicMirror or another software compatible with the .VRM format to capture your motion.

No more teaming up against a boss. Last one standing wins. Meet me in the square. Arena mode is coming along nicely. Items spawn in the blue zones around the edges while mobs spawn in the corners. New leveling and skill cooldown mechanics for fast games. #MidasSystem #ttrpg #gamedev

Good morning✌️🍀

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

Due to a bit of burnout while working on monster designs, I'm working on the arena mode for a bit. Instead of the having facedown cards and ownable tiles, the Arena board is a 10x10 grid which has purchasable 'tile' cards that can be placed on the board to apply modifiers. #MidasSystem #ttrpg

My last week has been Oblivion and job interviews. The latter feels a lot like the persuasion mini-game to be honest.
