Had to drive somewhere to pick something up, and on the way back, passed a Tesla with a bumper sticker reading "Love the Car ♥️ Hate the CEO" I have enough energy to hate both, thanks. "Please don't be mean to me for my expensive purchases :(" is not the political statement people think it is

Going through emails I missed and I see one from Patreon about "merging creator and fan profiles" and a "new post style called Quips" and think, this is just gonna be their version of Twitter "We hear you loud and clear, you hate social media so now you can be stuck in our ecosystem forever :)"

Finishing SFTOS V4.2 overlays | This stream has two OBS instances running for an amazing reason! --- live.retroheart.net

Got two unfinished bits of business: Finishing my streaming overlay rework, which I'm gonna do my best to knock out on stream this morning, then capturing a bunch of unused items and other oddities in Blue Stinger for TCRF by the end of the week because I've been meaning to do that for over a year

“But I don’t want to migr—“ do not *migrate* your social media, diversify it. Putting all your proverbial eggs into the same basket will always lead to this. I know I’m shouting at a wall and ppl will largely not listen but, like.

The parents of a good friend of mine lost everything in a fire. If you've got a bit to spare or the ability to share, it'd be much appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/help-an-el...

Realizing my biggest failure was leaving normal notes for myself in my personal coding adventures. I should have left Resident Evil style-notes about how my project is going to change the world, and once it's done, I'll show thEM, I'LL SHOW ALL OF THE the code has come alive and is trying to kill m

I think this has reached its ultimate form and now I can do a bit of cleanup and start slotting it into my overlays The first test of BOMBER BET had to use Streamerbot as a work-around for predictions, now I can look at running everything entirely through Godot in the hopefully near future

On a different note, recognizing how much has been abstracted away as beyond reach or too difficult when it comes to getting Twitch notifications working in Godot But "parts of modern life being abstracted away so they can be repackaged or sold back to you as a solution" is a whole-ass blog I think

I know I'm late to the party, but just so we're on the same page, according to Bluesky, fascists using weasel words that aren't expressly violent: Welcome in, here's your badge Suggesting the mere hint of violence: Bannable offense The potential for someone seeing cartoon tiddy: Literal shadowban

Remembering how to draw again after incinerating the candle working on GDScript things the last 3 days

After 3 days of hyperfocus I've got a proof of concept for my Twitch EventSub event listener up and running Still need to wrestle with the Twitch CLI and mock API to test it locally (hence the 400 errors) but it slots into my existing setup just fine

On the plus side I'm learning a hell of a lot about OAuth flows today.

Developed another bad headache yesterday and on top of that the Twitcher Godot add-on imploded, and after spending what time I could trying to fix it again I checked the GitHub this morning to find out that they added a vague "AI Disclosure" 3 days ago Trying hard to not fold and disappear forever

Positives: I did my research as best I could, sat down, and completed both mail-in ballots (California is having a normal one) then took them over to the post office Negatives: The compound word "metroidbrainia" has entered my brain and words just mean whatever these days

As much as I'd like to hold a schedule I'm probably gonna try to do the workshop stream tomorrow instead of today, and Friday and Saturday are basically "stay frosty" so no idea if I can do BOMBER BET this weekend Just gotta roll with it

Sketches from this morning's stream. Nothing set in stone for this design, just kinda flow state, though I'm leaning into an "inky darkness" theme that I'm pulling from a past character concept

I got suspended from this website for 3 days for agreeing with the Pope.

(No sound) Got Chibi Bun-E03's CONFIG (i.e. costume) loader set up yesterday and I've been meaning to get her shipping box substitution jutsu up and running for a while, so I combined both into one yesterday

Been in The Headache Dimension since Saturday as is tradition so no morning art stream today, screens aren't good for the eyes right now

Been playing around with adding custom graffiti to Jet Set Radio (the Dreamcast version) again

www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvXy... Oh hell yeah, we did it and we did it real fuckin' good! Trans Rights y'all, and thanks so much for an awesome weekend! Cya next year maybe probably!

Was wondering whatever happened to the BART-themed anime mascots that they asked for submissions for a couple years back, and if your response to that was "what the fuck are you talking about", I've got good news for you www.bart.gov/news/fun/anime

Enjoy roughly 5.5k words on the making of BOMBER BET and reflections on self-destruction at one of the many crossroads of life --- blog.retroheart.net/2026/05/23/t...

Also no BOMBER BET today, check out Trans Am, raising money for Trans Lifeline, which is currently running Dubz's Salty Bombs! twitch.tv/tietuesday (Promo art related)

Sketching out ideas for DIGI.EXE again. She's a helpful, customizable program from the 2000s that sits on your desktop and helps you with things. What could go wrong?

in an hour and 30, I'll be doing my saltybombs segment over at twitch.tv/tietuesday for TRANS AM, and lemme tell you, you're gonna wanna be there and donate to the stretch goal so this guy whips his nips out! Cya then y'all!

Important study

Starting in 5, the Pit Crew Trans Am begins with Pitmaster, a very original task-oriented show! Tune in live at www.twitch.tv/tietuesday!

Work in progress preview, been trying some character profile images where they pop out of or otherwise interact with the frame that they're presented in

Either the spam account waves are hitting harder than usual or the FFXIV post a couple weeks back got me on some follow lists, because I've had an uptick in follows (that I then block) from accounts that follow 100k+ accounts and clearly exist to sell something or Make Big Number

It's been a while since I've had any big Gift Shop updates. Today was mostly scripting, but the Godot rebuild is finally coming together.

Sketchin'

Finally made progress on the Gift Shop again and got both saving / loading and a visual "roll" for the coin counter working in Godot, which is a good feeling What doesn't feel good is this headache putting my head in a vice so I'ma lay down

(Tired) Workshop Wthursday, gonna work on some bits and pieces of Godot overlay. Maybe art? Depends on how things shake out live.retroheart.net

I had hoped to do some dev stream stuff this morning but I have been in Hell trying to understand how to create save data in Godot The docs suggest using JSON, every tutorial says don't use JSON and also has the "now draw the rest of the owl" problem, and everyone argues over the "best" method

Hey chat what's up it's ya boy Uberwulf X and I finally finished the Issen lyric video check it out be sure to like and subscribe for more bangers #music #musicvideo #oni #kpop #idol www.youtube.com/watch?v=--VV...

Also I sat down to work on some stream overlay stuff in Godot this morning and hard pivoted into a walk down to the lake just after sunrise. Saw a juvenile Canada goose in its awkward teen phase along with their parents, enjoyed the peace and quiet and calm waters.

Not sure who needs to hear it, but Discord's global roll-out of age verification policies were kicked to "the second half of 2026", and the 1st of July is about 6 weeks from now. Don't assume it's something that went away. Keep your options open.

Finally got around to getting CAT-SS on the AFK screen for streams. She's got her own set of randomized animations, too, which was an interesting challenge in its own right. #Art #DigitalArt #RetroHeartArt #GodotEngine

Progress from today's stream, I can never quite settle on a single style / ratio for chibi but I like how this has been shaping up #Art #DigitalArt #WIP #RetroHeartArt

It's windy out, it's supposed to get real hot today, and it's Monday. Let's make some art. live.retroheart.net

As much as RegEx makes my head hurt, I think I've wrangled it enough to make responses to chat messages more consistent and not pick up on random words or fragments within larger words
