I'm moving the start time of my streams up to 8:30 Central this week also adding an extra stream on Thursday we'll see how this goes :/

hopefully not breaking off any new parts of my O2 this time... www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

oops I made a new character ...why do spiders have to be so tough to draw

HOLY SHIT, BLENDER 3.6.1 DOESN'T CRASH ANYMORE SCREW BLENDER 5, THEN also, background work www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

beware the hell goat's horns and happy Maid Day! #PorcelainMade

maybe re-assembling my O2's outer case after UPS shattered it years ago www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

bleh shading www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

cleaning this weird camera I found www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

no thumbnail this time, because I don't have a new idea, and my browser's being a piece of shit www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

gettin' set up to have some fun and by fun, I probably mean pain hopefully not literally think I figured out a way to put this backplane in the chassis for my PDP-11/23 but I probably need to finally get a drill press, to get holes into that square bar

holy crap, this past week has been a MESS (and not Multi Emulator Super System)

80 degrees (26.7°C) is, however, normal where Tinta's from (she's actually very active, too, but also really likes food)

"GTX 1080 - active: no, driver: nouveau" okay, the workbench computer will no longer run Nobara. I'm not buying a new video card while this one works. not that I'm surprised, just disappointed. Nobara is not the right distribution for me.

when it's sunny and hot, but supposed to get windy while Ellie's out, so she left her parasol at home (she sunburns super easily)

drawing a moth instead of fixing my workbench desktop (oops) www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

the space shuttle model I built on the stream last night; turned out pretty well!

hokay, looks like I can still stream, despite no window manager running don't do Linux, kids www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

oh my fucking god stream's going to be late, if it happens at all I installed VLC on my workbench computer and Nobara self-destructed

another pair of lost pre-Bluesky doodles, since I'm idly scrolling through my folder of scanned drawings maybe I really will post most of the old drawings, eventually...

continuing the drawing www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

hopefully finishing the Wheelwriter cleaning and putting it back together www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

a bit late, but: the aforementioned drawing Indi and Bó had a pretty un-eventful Easter

finally finished my Easter drawing, back to the previous one www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

it's pretty messy since I haven't cleaned it yet, but I mentioned these weird IBM metal cans while working on the Wheelwriter last night; they're "Solid Logic Technology" modules like in a System/360 (I think) also weird clear quartz crystal which shows the quartz disc inside, near the bottom

the wheelwriting was interrupted by this lever thing on the paper release mechanism having broken, and slipping into the path of the carriage (print head thing) so it's "fixed" now (by just removing the broken, possibly-irreplaceable part) more pictures of neat details later, maybe

Wheelwriter decided not to wheelwrite, gonna try to see why www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

the dead stare ...'cause I haven't slept well in a week. (bonus points if anyone gets the song reference)

it's just one of those days...my workbench computer forgot to turn off its power after I shut it down. here're some oscilloscope images from the stream, though: purple is the system clock signal, and yellow is D0 from the 6502 CPU's data bus. it's doing SOMETHING, which is what I wanted to confirm

testing for signs of life from my Challenger III using an oscilloscope www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

there was this elf I drew five years ago (geez) as a one-time character, but I kept thinking how un-satisfied I was with her design so I re-designed her; wanted to give her more of early-2000s-goth-ish vibes ...kinda. been almost thirty years and I don't remember the style well. huge change though

back to a drawing from a couple weeks ago, finally www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

half-true story

actually remembering to ping for the stream this time! now if only the links I just posted on Discord would remember to embed correctly www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

a similar line from a Hallmark movie inspired this I wish I wasn't serious #PorcelainMade

Happy Saint Paddy's Day! remember to drink responsibly #PorcelainMade

...I was in too much of a hurry and forgot to ping for my stream tonight. Oops.

I sure LOVE manually typing my stream title when I post it to Discord again, glad it works on Bluesky but yeah, art www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

the 1973-ish Heathkit calculator I've been fixing on-stream, when I briefly had it running before realizing there was one more electrolytic capacitor which should be replaced... the neon Panaplex displays are super cool, hell of a thing to find at Goodwill

reference for my model (since it doesn't do any good if only a handful of people have access to it, oops) made with Vroid, Blender 3, and a LOT of patience

electrolytic capacitors kind of suck. www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

new outfit! whoa

un-productive day

did it seriously take five whole years of my tablet stylus's battery running out right when I really want to draw, when I could've just charged it BEFORE it runs out and entirely avoided that problem? wow

hokay, so my stylus needs to charge, so... crap. www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

Okay, after much confused staring at numerous manuals, I see the 510 is configured by default for the wrong type of ROM, and multiple modifications have to be made for the 2716s (actually 2816s) I have installed, so that explains the lack of RS232 activity. It'd never work as-is.

maybe trying to turn that Challenger III on, finally www.twitch.tv/kyouma_dxf

Charlie, however, slept just fine

what the heck I actually DID have a bad dream last night after posting that drawing

bad dream
