This is how it feels every time I log into VRChat.

This has been done and it's roots blocking the pipe again. The good news is that roots haven't even penetrated the cast iron portion of my residential sewer pipe, but it has penetrated a portion of the pipe that's Bermico. This portion is only a couple feet underground, so I'm getting that replaced.

So my basement flooded when the washing machine drained yesterday. Last time it did this was a year ago when the backflow valve got gunked up. I used some foaming root killer last night and that overflowed and flooding the basement again. Guess I'm calling a drain specialist again.

If he sneezes, we die.

Anyone have any recommendations on how to convert a VRChat avatar to work with VeeSeeFace? Ideally I'd prefer to not have to open Blender to do it.

RIP wplace. As with all things on the Internet it seems, it was ruined the moment it was overrun with bots.

Oh hey, you made it to the furcon. Oh, you want to go out for dinner? Nah, I'd rather get an overpriced sandwich made with stale bread and room temperature ingredients. We could also get delivery from a national pizza chain and wait in the lobby for an hour for it to show up.

Morning migraines suck because I could be avoiding weed, sugar, and alcohol the night prior and still hydrating and my body is just like, "What if we had a hangover anyway? 😉"

With Windows 10 falling out of service in a month, I expect this dialog to be commonplace: "Switch to Windows 11" "Can't, hardware too old :(" "Then switch to Linux" "No :)"

I'll 3D print one using $8 of filament.

Went through some posts that weren't even a year old and I have several replies to deleted posts/users. I wish there was some way to see what/who I was replying to. Really annoying to lose that context because of someone else's desire to clean house.

In any case, that initial euphoria is gone and I'm realizing that yeah, political violence from either side going so far as assassinations is going too far. I'm relieved I won't ever have to hear CK's rhetoric anymore, but not like this... Anyway, that's the extent of my politics posting.

Conservatives: "The shooter was likely an extremist progressive, probably a minority, transgender even." Reality: Shooter was a cishet white dude, far right, Nick Fuentes simp. Conservatives: [silence]

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Me [9-5 on a weekday]: I can't wait to be done with work so I can be free to do whatever I want. Me [literally any other time]: tha' fuck am I doin'?

And he is done! 128x128, 16,384 pixels.

Waiting to see someone make a mod for Ocarina of Time that turns all the characters into furries and Kokiri Forest is just a babyfur village.

@londiebrondie.bsky.social Saw your message on the one piece I'm working on wplace. Greatly appreciate the sentiment, but I am working off of a pixel specific template. Funnily enough though, the black text you put down is in a region of the image that has a lot of black, so that's saving me pixels.

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr.

I will never take French/Quebecoise seriously until they stop with the weird language policing.

An ocean of fluffy animals took over my living room last night! So you know I had to hop in as a human and then a kitty! I had so much fun suiting with everyone! So many soft friends to hug! 😺💜

In any case, I discovered that Cubase added sampler tracks as of Cubase 9, so my potential for making musical shit posts has increased exponentially.

Ha ha, learned the hard way that Windows doesn't like it when you try to run Cubase at the same time as OBS. BSOD time. So much for recording the creative process, lol.

My opuntia cactus "Lil Prick" is over 6 years old and has come such a long way.

My first job out of college gave me hope. The second striped all of that away. The third instilled my distrust in corporate life All times I was between jobs only confirmed that companies only see workers as merely an asset and will only hire whoever they can chew up the most only to spit back out.

Yeen on the loose!

Kiddie pool of suit heads

Since my next project on wplace may likely be my last, here's what I've drawn so far. I'll share the next one once I finish it.

A headache is just the body's "check engine light". Tired? Caffeine withdrawal? Dehydrated? Migraine? Tension? Something's wrong, but who knows what it is?

I discovered recently this was due to NVIDIA Replay completely self-destructing after I close the game. Why it only happens with Fortnite is anyone's guess, I've disabled it for now.

Why is it anyone's impulse, be it friend, family, or coworker, to, when handed my phone to look at a photo, a SINGLE photo, to swipe left/right? I granted you a key to the room, not the whole hotel ffs.

I wish more games did webcam integration for in-game photos like in Burnout Paradise. Good opportunity to whip out the fursuit head.

I hate how I was gaslit in my childhood into thinking I'm not allowed to have fun until I finish all my chores and pay all my bills. This $7k medical bill that my PCP keeps dragging their heels on reducing is acting as a mental block preventing me from doing anything fulfilling.

Oh boy, time for the quarterly hot/shit take about a harmless kink from some fandom nobody. If you don't like something, that's fine, but keep your opinions to yourself. There's a handful of things I do not like in furry, but I'll keep them to myself unless asked.

if you are into vore, guro, crunch-and-munch macro, ferals, whips, CNC, dub con, or anything else that can be interpreted as 'problematic', and you are against an activity that involves being cozy and safe and small and cute and playful and colorful, how about a courteous respectful shut the fuck up

Bought a shelf to store peripherals and have my desktop sitting on top only for my HDMI cable for my furthest monitor to be too short. Time to buy a 10 foot HDMI cable.

Augh, my basement smells like dead mouse, and I don't mean the one that makes the bass drop.

We don't deserve Sakurai. He's too pure. 💜

Hot take, lukewarm take if we're being honest, but ANE should scrap the mask mandate. It's going to be 6 years since COVID hit the US when ANE2026 happens and literally no other business or event has a mandate. Encourage it, hand out free masks, but don't boot people from the event for not masking.

Me when I get my pelleds

One of the hyena photo aggregate channels I follow on Telegram posted this pair of photos of a five month old brown hyena, and now I see the inspiration for Poochyena's design.

I think I'm a shoe in for this sort of competition. Not only do I have a 100% success rate in launching carts into the return carousel from across the aisle, but many times they hit another cart just right that it'll stack properly.

Called my home insurance to update them on my home renovations. Saving $150 a year now for replacing my roof. ✨ Every bit counts✨

Slightly diminish a band: Huey Lewis and the Trivia

Oh you know...

I think I've properly captured in VRChat the energy I hope I bring to parties.

Being hit with a medical bill that cost more than my fursuit is one way to start the week. 🙃☠️

Not sure what's up with the latest Fortnite season, but I'm getting so many frame hitches out of nowhere. I usually chalk this up to it needing to compile shaders, but at this point after playing at least 25 rounds and I'm still getting hitching, there's clearly something wrong with the game.

One of my biggest pet peeves as QA is when someone files a defect with poor reproduction steps, the developer tries to repro it, can't, and instead of reaching out to whoever filed the defect for more details, they reach out to me to figure it out, and I ultimately have to ask for more details.

It always feels nice to get a compliment on your fursona design unprompted, doubly so if it's from an artist you want to commission.
