AI IS GOING TO TAKE OUR JOBS. AI:

Baby Nora in an egg, suggested by iliar!

Upstairs neighbor has *painfully* loud kids. I got "foot stomping" sound effects online, played them through my audio system at full tilt. Took 30 minutes to get a knock at the door. "I dunno what you're talking abo---" THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP CRASH SCREAM Management went upstairs instead <.<

I picked up a Bose Companion 2 system *and* a Bose Companion 3 system from a liquidation auction and the site threw in an *extra* Companion 3 system because "we forgot to list it and everything needs cleared out today". Say what you will about Bose, but these Companion systems are quite nice.

Need more camera angles for this Master Chef show.

Master Chef set this week. Huzzah.

I just met Elvis Crespo. Very neat. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_C...

Neat. Needs more screens. ...though there ARE actually more off frame... XD

I need more screens... and scopes.

Online event scheduling is wild to me, especially in Discord servers: Ping at Noon "Event at 7pm EST!" Reminder ping at 5pm. Ping at 6pm. Ping at 6:30pm. Ping at 6:45pm. "Hey we're starting at 7:30 so people have time to join." Ping at 7pm. "Event starting!" *Event actually started at 8pm*

Three things certain in life: - Death. - Taxes. - @vrchat.com 's inability to acknowledge or fix the daily API outages.

I often think about the efficiencies of conventions. How many staff is *actually* required? Do you need a 25 person art team for 1,000 attendees? Or 9 people to do AV for a single panel room production? But also, how many is too few before it becomes overwork on the individual?

Been seeing more and more scams/spam/Gen AI on this platform. Most of my "Discover" feed is filled with it, despite liking using that feed to find more content I *do* like. Worried that Bluesky is either getting overwhelmed trying to keep up, or just doesn't care.

Got to meet him recently. An amazingly epic and chill dude. A legend to be missed for sure.

Art dump #mlpfim #mylittlepony

Me: "People are so nuts about Silksong. What even." Also me: "Listen here Me, you played through FF7:Rebirth in its entirety in five days at nearly 16 hours a day when you were out of work, the fug you on about Silksong." Also also me: "...ok but like that's differennnnnnnnt...." XD

Two new potential job/venue leads today. Doing a walkthrough with one next week, first gig on the other possibly on the 27th. Both are music-scene related, one gaming-music, and both have huge potentials for connections. Huzzah!

I wedged myself back in between a sign and the main curtain in hopes of getting 30 second micro-naps during this... *checks time* ...16 hour day.

"Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know they're always there" #furry #furryart

It's amusing that there is a *community forming* on the DownDetector website of people who are dealing with the @vrchat.com API crashes. It is happening so often that I think friendships are forming. It's more reliable to talk there.

Third major @vrchat.com outage in four days, but unfortunately since it only appears to affect a few hundred people (at least according to API stats) it's doubtful it's enough to get noticed to be fixed. Thiiiiis is going to suck if this becomes the norm.

The most amusing part about being right in the middle of what appears to be a big @vrchat.com crash is watching the data happen in real time and sitting back and wondering how long it'll take VRChat themselves to notice. Basically, myself and everyone I know on the East coast just got booted.

One of the more neat gig places, for sure.

NEW OFFICAL SONG FOR VALORANT OUT NOW!! - You Call Me Reckless - with Fool and Life Awaits Out now on Monstercat: monster.cat/reckless

Annnnnnnnnnd confirmed: My original PS2 (Model SCPH-30001) still works, even reading discs! Screencap from OBS.

YOOOO MY PS2 MEMORY CARD FROM, LIKE, 2001 STILL WORKS.

The temptation to make the drive up to Baltimore today for the sake of the joke is real. This weekend (likely) would've been the event.

@megaran.com is about to go on soon. Already chillin' in chat. Come hang!

MAGWest concerts *should* be streamed tonight, and Megaran's set (that I did the visuals for) is tonight! www.magwest.org/live-streams He's set to go live at 9:20PDT / 12:20EDT. Hopefully we'll get to see the visuals live!

I just found this in storage. The solid five minutes I just sat and stared at it and just re-lived all the memories of the SNES Star Fox and Star Fox 64. jfc. I normally don't treasure possessions but, hot damn, none of them really hit me like a ton of bricks like this did.

If you're at @magfest.org "MAGWest" this weekend, be sure to check out @megaran.com 's set! Five of the songs I fully created visuals for, with @lightningarts.bsky.social having done the remaining tracks. He'll be mixing on-site (as I cannot attend), so go see it and lemme know how it looks!

This Brother HL-5050 was recently pulled out of a ~6 year storage. I did nothing but plug it in, reinstall the drivers, and print a test page. Even used the same paper that was still in it. The MFG date on the back of it reads March 2003. I have no idea if the toner has ever been changed.

....oh.

I generally have not used my Desktop for anything other than Davinci Resolve for the past five days. Halp. ...oh and even when I'm done, it's Resolume after this. *dies* ...up to almost 400GB of content tho. That's... something, I think.

I found my old collection of LIGHTSCRIBE CDs! ...anyone remember Lightscribe?! I loved it, despite how jank it really was. No clue if these still work. I literally don't even own a CD player currently, but I'll find a way to test them out soon enough and listen to what 2006-ish me liked.

Finally decided to go for the gusto and buy a Tesla today. Here's hoping it works out. Been on my mind for ages but figured it was finally worth it to give it a go and hope for the best. Pic in replies.

...fancy seeing me on the MAGWest Schedule page.

I have discovered that happiness is a brand new windshield with a fresh set of wiper blades.

Early 2000's: "We have terrible ways to verify ages of people. They can just click two buttons and we believe them at that. We need better verification practices!" Enter 2020's: *ID verifications implemented* "No not like thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat."

One of the best things I love about 3D Printing is the ability to make screws/bolts for small everyday applications. Like I needed a tracker mount for my VR, but was lacking a 1/4-20 screw. Couldn't find the ones I thought I had, so I printed one. Works perfectly.

Finally broke out the VRChat drone during our weekly hangout and put together a fun community video for ourselves. Totally need to do this more often. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjXy...

There's something wild about having printed with PLA for a few years and *always* struggling with adhesion, yet after doing ABS for a few weeks now I've never had a single print failure. Everyone has said ABS is harder to work with. It's basically been a godsend for me XD

The biggest challenge to getting the MAGFest concerts "perfect" is that some of us have already started *production* for MAGSuper in January... but we need plenty more on board as well that we typically don't get until the *Wednesday before the event*. *dies*

It always feels like the most absolutely lost, dazed, confused, unaware people I have ever known in my entire life I have easily met or observed at an airport. I wonder how some of them were able to find their own front porch, let alone navigate to their departure gate.

I don't use kitchen timers when cooking. I just throw another video project into the encoder and gauge it based on time remaining. "Need to cook this for 20 minutes... ah sweet this video will encode in 18 minutes so I check on the food when it's done..."

DPGN PLAYED A FULL SET OF VGM CARD GAME MUSIC. IT WAS EPIC! Full show is here, Happy Friday! 😄 youtu.be/WH6JDonTu5Q

Yeah, I like the glowing eyes trope. At least now I have slider control of it.

New toys acquired. Maybe I'll get some use out of them soon once I piecemeal them as kits soon. A pair of Panasonic P2HD HPX500P's.

"You should go outside more!" ... ..... .......no I don't think I will.
