Morning art stream results! No gay robots this time, but gay stuff inside giant robots? We can do that. The veteran-pilot-turned-mech-mechanic has some "tips" for the newbie pilot. (The "tip" is where they're going on a date after the mission.) #art #mastoart #lgbtqia #yuri

Morning art stream results! More gay robots. Not as happy with how this one turned out as the last one, but we spent about twice as long on the last one, so it seems to really just come down to a matter of taking my time to get the quality I want. #robotgirl #lgbtqia #art #mastoart

Morning art stream results! Some regularly scheduled maintenance for the robot girlfriend. #robotgirl #art #mastoart #lgbtq

I'm pretty sure, it is not a new idea, but as I was waiting for the bus, it suddenly struck me: LLMs (falsely called "ai") are a cargo cult. Some people dropped a few boxes with apparently magic qualities on this planet, and we're increasingly rebuilding all our civilisation around them.

I've changed my username on #twitch ! My stream is now at https://twitch.tv/KiriArtemisVT ! (This has been coming for a long time. Finally bit the bullet.)

The number of times I say "xkcd standards comic" as a *verb* is mildly concerning. I'm Darmoking pretty hard with that one.

Newspeak: We are limiting vocabulary to alter how people express themselves 😠 Toki Pona: We are limiting vocabulary to alter how people express themselves 😌

[mental health, physical injury, death, venting] On Friday I sustained a minor concussion, and this morning around 4am I woke up bawling my eyes out because I had a dream where my best friend was still alive. Not been a super great time.

Drew some poly stuff for #pridemonth Neglected to post it earlier. Cute throuple art melts my heart, so I need to draw more of it. #polyam #lgbtq #art #mastoart #pride

Hi I drew a thing. Also, I like robot girls. #art #mastoart #robotgirl

Morning art stream stuff! Happy Mermay! #art #mastoart #mermay #mermaid #lgbtq #trans

Let’s be real

You know things are escalating out of control when you have to go from printf debugging to printk debugging.

Quick morning sketchies. Figured we could all use some of this right now. #art #mastoart #trans #transrights #lgbtq

#gdc was depressing this year. Didn't find anything that really excited me in the expo hall, and the conversation topics were mostly around all the mass layoffs. The W4 Games talk about #godot progress was pretty neat, but I had to miss the actual Godot meetup to get to it. :c Anyway. I […]

I have been getting some weird scam calls lately. It always starts with "Hey! We finally managed to get ahold of you!" Then they identify themselves as "It's <name> from your local <type of business>". (They don't specify the name of the business.) Then they ask if I want any of their […]

Morning sketch-stream results! Finally finished this one, after a couple of weeks. Something nice to go along with the Wolfenstein streams I've been doing lately. Also because fuck fascists. Image CW for nazis and violence. #art #mastoart #lamia #monstergirl #wolfenstein

Oddly important pieces of life advice from places you wouldn't really consider it: 1. "Meet the Sniper" - when he says "Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet." If you swap the "killing" out with "Always have a plan to remove toxic elements from your life"? Honestly […]

when I was young, adults with authority over me loved to tell me that I'd agree with them when I was older, but as I approach 40 they're still wrong and I wish I'd picked more fights with them

#snekstudio, my open-source 3D #vtuber software, actually has a website now! https://snekstudio.com Been putting that off for a *while* because I really don't like webdev and had a hard time figuring out what to say. Two issues left before the Alpha 2 milestone (that I keep kicking down the […]

Been playing around with a self-hosted #sharkey (a #misskey fork) instance and I think I love it. It's really responsive, has a bunch of cool features, a great UI, and compared to any other #fediverse software instance I've ever tried to set up, it was SUPER simple to get it up and running.

Morning sketch-stream results! Also, happy Doomsday! Or rather, the 31st anniversary of the launch of Doom! We're not doing anything as big as last year, but I figured I'd still do a stream and a little charity thing regardless. So come watch us play through […] [Original post on vt.social]

Morning sketch-stream results! (I know, it's been a while.) Drew some gay stuff. Specifically some size and gay stuff, because Sabine likes it. c: #art #mastoart #lgbtq #giantess

You know you''re spending too much time in #blender when your dreams start looking like Cycles denoising artifacts.

Streaming seems to be pretty good for my mental health, at least while the stream is going. A lot of the bad stuff kinda fades into the background for a bit and I can just vibe and play games or do art or gamedev or whatever. But on the other hand, if I'm feeling down, it gets WAY harder to […]

If you're seeing this on Bluesky and want to interact with me, you may need to follow @ap.brid.gy first because the Mastodon/Bluesky bridge is opt-in, and I won't see any activity from over there without the other person opting-in. More info on Bridgy Fed: https://fed.brid.gy/docs

#SnekStudio (my #VTuber software written in #Godot ) has an actual logo now! Got a ton of work done last night on the Python integration for it, which should make stuff a little less error-prone going forward. Also it no longer has to download packages from pypi […] [Original post on vt.social]

Demo time for #snekstudio at #magwest . And once again, having to do last minute bug fixes on the convention floor. #vtuber #vtuberen

I finally made my #vtuber software that I use on-stream, #snekstudio , open-source. https://github.com/ExpiredPopsicle/SnekStudio It's pretty rough around the edges, and the code is still kind of a mess, but getting it out into the public as open-source software is a big step after years of […]

Morning sketch-stream results! Drew my Lancer NHP character, JunkRaven, again. Chillin in a zero-G vacuum in a decompressed section of a damaged space station, playing her electric guitar that's plugged directly into her subaltern's nervous system. #lancer is neat. #art #mastoart #lancerrpg

"Necessary cookies" usually aren't.

Microsoft is forcing us to have a dedicated key for Copilot on new laptop keyboards and we still don't even have a dedicated standard push-to-talk key. Sheesh

I did more #LancerRPG NHP character art. This time doing a 3D model of her casket! I really need to learn HardOps for #Blender, because I'm pretty sure this whole process would have gone a lot faster. We did figure out how to stencil stuff from images in the […] [Original post on vt.social]

Did a silly quick little doodle of my #lancerrpg NHP character's subaltern again. The team's hacking/infiltration expert NHP has optimized the coffee machine. Pray she does not optimize it further. #art #mastoart #lancer (Previously: https://vt.social/@ExpiredPopsicle/112871101986965065 )

Weekday morning art stream results! I drew my #LancerRPG NHP character's subaltern. This is going to be my first Lancer character. Really looking forward to getting into it! I've been just soaking up all the NHP-related lore like a sponge, especially digging […] [Original post on vt.social]

Weekday morning art stream results (for about the entire last month of art streams)! After #Offkai I saw all those cool life-sized #VTuber standees, and I decided to embark on a journey to make one of my own, starting with a giant high-res canvas, and then […] [Original post on vt.social]

#xmpp is what you get when you design a protocol around edging an XML parser.
