Since I'm not playing ESO any more, I decided to resubscribe to FF14 to try again, and was happy to see more outfit parts are now dye-able, and that dungeon mechanics are announced on the screen which really helps for people like me. #Hrothgar #Hrothgal #FFXIV #FF14

Don't threaten us with a good time, Daily Express.

I've been toying with one of these 'fluff' things for furries in Second Life and I really like that it looks similar to how Ratte draws it in my commissions. This one is by @micomonkey.bsky.social for Legacy. #SecondLife #Furry #Vampire #Khajiit

what if digitigrade human

I had another 'modern' tube arrive yesterday, an ECC82/12AU7 made by JJ Electronics. The anodes share the same shape as the E88CC they also make. The sub-level bass on this tube is amazing - I find a lot of tubes tend to roll off fast from 50Hz. #Tubes #Valves #Electronics #Vintage #Retro

It was very cool of @secondlife.bsky.social to fail to even try to process the payment for my premium, and not notify me that they had an issue with it. Logged in to make a ticket and got the 'balance due' message. There's two payment options that work fine.

However many times I try, I just cannot 'fit' into any community. I now fully give up with Discord servers.

Another one of me showing off as the vampire I am. #Halloween #October #Vampire #Goth #ESO #Khajiit #Furry

I'm pretty much done with ESO. It's not fun to play any more and is just frustrating, especially as the bug-riddled mess it is. I bought a few games for very cheap on the Steam autumn sale such as Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and I'm really enjoying it. I'll probably uninstall ESO soon.

Super glad I just went the paid VPN route.

It's that time of the year for us vampires to show off, right? #Vampire #Halloween #October #Goth #Khajiit #Furry

#October #Halloween

This is a fuchswerfer. It werfs fuchs.

I love clear plastic stuff SO much (thanks 90s), I had to custom the big paradise egg! Also I love Kiwi birds so I had to draw that big eyed one 🩵

Whoever did this is my hero 💖

i love finding shit like this in the wild

Another indie label I will no longer support. Genai slop that is even on the physical release, and good grief it looks awful. Unfollowed, hidden all of their stuff on my Bandcamp and left a comment. I expected far better from them. I will NOT support labels/musicians who use fucking ai slop.

I decided to replay Borderlands 2 as I never finished all of it, only the main story. I'm enjoying it more this time round, but I wasn't surprised by this on the main menu. You really suck, 2K.

A leading MAGA candidate known for his anti-trans rhetoric and “family values” campaigning, has been exposed for following sexually explicit trans adult performers online. “It’s not just hypocrisy, it’s a demonstration of how anti-trans rhetoric is often nothing more than political theatre”

Im going to be honest. Seeing NSFW artists uploading NSFW and CHOOSING not to tag it makes me very sad. That’s a commonly used argument for censorship; the fact that artists won’t commit to tagging nd allowing others to opt out of content. Please don’t fall into that trap. I understand the sentiment

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I scored a pair of Mazda ECC85 tubes made in the Netherlands for just £35. They arrived yesterday and work perfectly in my Little Dot. They distort quite heavily, I just need to try them slotted into my equaliser next. #Tubes #Valves #Electronics #Vintage #Audio #Retro

Faux Fingers @ Engine Room Folks have been requesting this one! n*-*n PBR-only prosthetic arms to match the Faux Paws. - Pointed and round finger types - Arm can be hidden in three sections - Bare wood, painted wood and porcelain - Fits eBody Reborn, Legacy F and LaraX Sept 20 thru Oct 20~

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

Lord Hatface, I salute you.

I really am starting to get angry with psychedelic musicians using genAI for their front covers. The scene was always about the art and supporting artists, not bloody robbing them. Those using genAI are no way a part of the scene and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Thanks to Archimago's blog, I've found the term 'euphonophile' is better suited to me. I prefer hearing distortion in my music hence all the tubes, but I know very well this isn't a faithful reproduction and that people shouldn't aim for this. I've tried actual hi-fi but simply didn't enjoy it.

Lets be clear here: Every organization, @safety.bsky.app included, that banned/fire/removed people for joking about Kirk let fascism into the house. They know they can weaponize those institutions, and like all bullies, they keep going. The next step is 'remove these people because we said so'

I discovered something really cool. I have 5x Texas Instruments LM4562 opamps when I thought I only had 4x, so I decided to try them in the equaliser as they are designed for this + pre-amps. It turns out they are incredibly stable, the transient response is superb.

It actually appears @steampowered.com are a bunch of morons as my account is now locked from 'adult' content unless I add a credit card, which I don't have. Oh, what's this? My account is nearly 22 years old? Yeah, you're idiots, @valvesoftware.com.

Strange, we seem to have a pretty big thunderstorm here in the East Midlands. This was not forecast and it hasn't even been warm.

Mandelson sacked. Yum yum.

"Don't look down" Another commission I got from @silasagnostos.bsky.social with me as a macro! I've wanted something like this for a while lol #furry #furryart #macro #giantess #khajiit #vampire

Charlie KIrk believed that empathy was a "new concept" that shouldn't exist, so anyone who expresses condolences for him is being VERY disrespectful to his beliefs right now. please keep him out of your thoughts as he begins his transition into worm food. thank you

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

Give him till Sunday.

I saw a thing the other day that basically said “no matter what prompt you give it, the question an LLM is answering is ‘what would a plausible response to this prompt look like?’”

Shoutouts to those of us working service, retail, call center, warehouse, etc. We exist too. You just might not see us as much because we can’t afford shit as the bottom falls out

artists aren’t the fucking bourgeois or “elite”. every artist i know can barely make rent. every artist i know is one severe enough hospital bill away from being homeless. we’re not all banksy or andy warhol. sick of this idea being passed around as we deal with companies exploiting us constantly.

This is the most damage I've ever seen Royal Mail cause to one of my parcels. Langrex uses seriously good packaging, but the sudden impact this parcel got may have damaged one of the tubes' internal connections. With more photos, I'm quite sure Langrex can make a claim.

I think I've found where the 'warm-up' malarkey with audio gear comes from. Raytheon's datasheets show their 1970s opamps would drift until they had warmed up, but it only takes 2 minutes for them to settle, so audiophools took this out of proportion and I doubt modern opamps are the same.
