Well, I've stopped crying; Still feel like I let her down, but there's not much more I could have done without making things worse. Just hope she forgives me someday.

Started binge-watching Vivy - Flourite Eye's Song. It's like Ghost in the Shell meets Terminator meets Miku. Brutal, gory action interspersed with stupid retard Vocoloid robot not listening to the totally-not-skynet teddybear. myanimelist.net/anime/46095/...

It's been a rough couple of days, but I'm coming around, thanks to friends and Yoshi herself. We left on good terms, so it definitely could be worse, but it's still painful for both of us.

God dammit, I miss her already.

#ChilloutVR has been sold to Disconeering LLC out of Wisconsin. Congratulations to Disconeer, the new CEO and a good friend of mine. #vr #gamedev

Excused from jury duty, apparently they needed 30 and only got 11. The guy rapping in the courtroom hallway was a vibe though.

Welcome to #chilloutvr. Our #furries are different.

Juggling @FluxposeVR in #ChilloutVR. x.com/FluxposeVR/s...

Jacket is done, thumb is fixed, and I added a bunch more details, including a custom AudioLink shader that can be tuned and hidden. Going for a megaman aesthetic. #vr #chilloutvr

More screwing around with the face. Eyes are fixed, finally. Thumb is bork for some reason, though, and I need to figure out a good cell-shading effect. Maybe quantizing lighting...? #ChilloutVR

Grilling in the Name Of. #chilloutvr

ko-fi.com/post/Keeping... (Poorly titled) - #chilloutvr is not dying, they're completing a buyout process from the original insolvent company. Anything helps them get there.

The one thing that annoys the shit out of me with #vrchat/#chilloutvr avatar creators is that finding male human models that aren't either femboys or hyper-goths is like picking flyshit from pepper.

Wow. Several years ago, it would be hard to imagine a story like this. Now, it's not routine, but not anyhing out of the ordinary. A ground robot evacuated a 77 year old Ukrainian lady from Lyman. Her home of 53 years was destroyed by Russians.

I'll be on and off CVR today. Rough day.

Someone turned #grok into a bot in #ChilloutVR. It's currently insulting a "meatbag."

Well, that's new. #ChilloutVR

Ported Shidou to #ChilloutVR. Modular Avatar is a pain in the ass, may end up manually stitching this together in Blender for optimization reasons.

Feeling too shitty to participate in April Fools' Day shenanigans. Will probably hang out in CVR later in the day. Need sleep first. Again: Yoshi and I left on good terms, don't stir any shit with her.

Back to where I started, I guess.

Going to be on and off today. Yoshi is in need of a lot of support today, and I was up all night working on a stupid project. Need to concentrate on her.

Amazon is fucking magical

WA is pulling the "driver's license/ID required to view online adult content" shit other states are pushing. app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112

Sent my complaint. WA folks, get in on this and tell them we don't need this shit here

> Post funny picture > Watch as your friends get into an all-out brawl over something you weren't around for

Well, New Year's on #ChilloutVR was hilarious. (This was not a bug, just devs making everyone in the instance display a DEV plate for shits and giggles.) Happy New Year's!

Happy New Year's Eve! I'll be chilling out in #ChilloutVR all day. Hope to see you there!

I've been asked to comment on ChilloutVR and PoligonVR drama. I like to maintain professional relationships with places I've previously worked, and with competitors. It keeps competition clean, fair, and friendly, as competition should be. I will not be commenting on any ongoing drama. Thank you.

Yosh is finally getting a break from the holiday retail nightmare, and it sounds like her transfer to another store was approved. Be nice to retail people. They go through Hell for your Captain Crunch, especially on the Holiday season.

I hope Quentin Rigaux finds a worthy funding to make his French animated feature film "Cosmo Princess".

Well. That was fun. Taken right as the front moved through. Absolutely pouring sideways rain. #wawx

Watching CNN trying and failing to pronounce "Skagit" was a treat. With all the other funny local names (Puyallup, Sequim, Snohomish, Stillaguamish...), though, it makes me begin to think Washington State is the US' version of the Welsh.

Good morning. Washington is flooding. Lots of people are going to lose their homes. I know there are assholes handwaving it because Washington is always moist, but the Skagit cresting at 11ft above flood stage is serious shit. I'm safe, but if you're in WA, please be safe and heed warnings.

People who say we don't need brick-and-mortar hardware stores anymore have never gone to @acehardware with an obscure, unmarked faucet aerator, shown it to an ancient guy in the back, and walked out with the perfect replacement.

In my never-ending quest of sticking metaphorical forks into gamified electrical outlets, I've started dissecting Roblox cheats out of boredom. The number of RATs and infostealers in these scripts is absolutely hilarious. (No, I don't plan on getting hired there.)

Cloudflare moment

Cloudflare is down... I use UptimeRobot to monitor sites. UptimeRobot is also hosted on Cloudflare. It is VERY BROKEN right now. DownDetector is another useful tool for checking site availability. Also hosted on Cloudflare. DownForEveryoneOrJustMe... yep, hosted on Cloudflare. GOLLY THIS IS FUN!

THE YEAR OF THE LINUX VR HEADSET IS FINALLY UPON US

After running into issues getting my Protectli FW4B firewall appliance updated to #pfSense 2.7.2, I decided to switch to #OPNsense. It just works. I even got adblocking working in Unbound without much fuss.

Before any bullshit circulates: I left Panduh's server because I was asked to by Jarrett. That's it.

Good afternoon! We've just added a new feature to Steam Deck, allowing it to complete all active downloads in a new display-off low-power mode, before going to sleep. Learn more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/167...

Last chance to turn it off. On Monday, November 3rd, Microsoft will start using your LinkedIn data for AI training. And remember, you're opted in by default. To toggle it off 👉 Account - Settings & Privacy > Data privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement.

I started drawing old Robotnik last night, and...it turned out really cool. OwO

We are working with local, state, Oregon Health Authority and federal public health partners to investigate Shiga Toxin-Producing E. coli (STEC) infections linked to consumption of aged, raw milk cheese. Learn more at doh.wa.gov/you-and-your...

XYVR has been updated with a contribution from art0007i, who has added ChilloutVR live session monitoring. Now, the address book can display Resonite, VRChat, and ChilloutVR sessions in a single view. (Resonite looks different because users can be in multiple sessions simultaneously)

Yoshi is learning how to do map creation, something I never got the hang of. Once she gets this asset pipeline shit down, her art ability and my programming ability will make us both unstoppable.

Poor eepy girl. #vr #chilloutvr

Dad's home after a several-day stay at the hospital. Turns out he didn't have a stroke, but it puzzled the ER for a bit. Hospital says he overdosed by 3x the maximum dose on his epilepsy meds. He'll be okay but needs to recover. No damage to his heart or brain. Thanks to everyone for your support.
