So it turns out that VRCFTnyan eye tracking worked without modification with the Beyond2e eye tracking. Main thing is to use the Project Babble driver, not the built in, and the steam version of VRCFaceTracking. The rest of my stream... well OBS decided to randomly chew 80%+ CPU at one point

Live for Music Monday - #BeatSaber with song requests enabled and FBT dancing. This will also by my first stream using a #BigscreenBeyond2e and I'll be testing its eye tracking via VRCFTnyan into #VNyan twitch.tv/LumKitty #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #RhythmGame #Twitch #Streamer #SmallStreamer

Aww yeah, thanks to Lina's efforts streaming on Linux is looking more and more viable. Can't wait to ditch Microsoft for good!

A short #FFXIV stream tonight as yesterday was exhausting. Gonna do the relic quest, and then into raid night with the static twitch.tv/LumKitty #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Twitch #Stream #Streamer #SmallStreamer

Thank you so much @linokii.com for the birthday art that's just become my new profile pic! Love it! :3

Musing on #CrueltySquad and it's interesting that the best way to actually make enough money to complete the game is to have made some very lucky decisions right at the start, when you didn't know what's going on, otherwise you'll be stuck doing in-game years of tedious work (in this case fishing)

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I'm not doing my software dev stream today. I only just woke up after yesterday! I will be doing FFXIV raiding later though, and maybe a quick look at the new relic stuff beforehand (what? I really like doing Gerolt's voice :D )

And we're live for my Birthday Stream! Starting off with the #Celeste map Astral Amity with Claris, then Madhunt once Linokii and Lemon are awake It's gonna be a blast albeit a very long blast! twitch.tv/LumKitty #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Twitch #Stream #Streamer #SmallStreamer

I'm doing my birthday collab tomorrow. I'll make a poster later (if awake) starting at midday GMT (7AM EST) and going for ~14 hours… * = Open 12:00 Celeste multiplayer* 14:00 Worms (Amiga) 16:00 FFXIV (ShB Extremes) 18:00 Beat Saber* 19:30 Peak* 22:00 FFXIV (P11S or Unreal) 01:00 Gartic/Jackbox**

I feel like, as someone whose whole channel is late 80s / early 90s themed, I should probably make a Neocities site, shouldn't I? Fuck, I haven't actually written HTML in about 20 years

The London (UK) premiere of #Melania has only sold a single ticket. (Source: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...) The buyer has now been identified:

No stream today either. I'm still feeling unwell, and tired, and just generally not feeling up to it. Sorry about this, hopefully I'm feeling better before my birthday collab on Saturday!

No stream tonight. I'm working late and then taking some time to do final organisation for my birthday collab on Saturday!

🧵1/2 #UKPol Lots of articles lately about how expensive veterinary care is, including a lady who lost her dog after insurance refused to pay out If that bothers you, don't vote for ReformUK as Farage openly states he wants to replace the NHS with a US-style insurance-based system!

🧵 So the BSky golive commandline tool seems to work fine, but I'm unsure what the best approach is for the stream length setting. BSky default assumes you know how long your stream will be so can pre-set it (and also assumes nobody streams longer than 4 hours lol) (continues)

:3

Pushed 0.2 of my go-live tool. This is mainly a derp fix as I forgot to publish 0.1 as a single file so it won't run if you don't have Newtonsoft.json.dll. It also has a timer init fix that doesn't actually affect the commandline version anyway but is still good practice to sort

Well I already spotted a derp in my class library. It won't affect the commandline tool as that's a one-off single use job, but if anyone is daft enough to integrate my beta code into a plugin, check the new commit :3

My BSky go-live tool is now available for testing It's rough, it dumps API JSON to the console as it runs, you press Enter to exit it; BUT… It works, and being able to change the title that BSky shows to something custom is IMO genuinely useful! #VTuberTech #Twitch #Stream #Streamer #SmallStreamer

Current prog on my little commandline tool for the new BSky "I'm live" feature. I made it so you can override it to whatever you like. Gonna do a little bit of a polish and test it during tonight's stream, then will post to github!

I got a barebones CSharp command-line utility running to set, refresh and end your livestreaming status on BSky No exe yet as I was lazy and used const strings for username, app password etc. but if you can download and compile you can use it Testing tomorrow, then I need to make it into a plugin!

The only acceptable vibe coding is adding Lovense integration to your app #FuckAI

It's done! I'm free! #Peak Ascent 7 cleared! #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN

My energy company just sent me an estimated £80 bill because they haven't had a reading from my gas meter since August. The same gas meter they removed from my house in August after I got a heat pump installed. Gee, I wonder why they couldn't get a reading? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another #Retro puzzle game has fallen tonight! Perplexity on the #BBCMicro. It might look like a shit Pac-Mania clone, but it's actually a good Sokoban clone with some unique gimmicks. Was good fun

Because I have never won an award for best VTuber despite making 8 VTuber plugins PLUS, Japan needs to give me complete and total control of Hokkaido. #Sarcasm #FuckTrump #FuckICE

I forgot to actually test if my #BeatSaber sync plugin even worked with the new model after setting up colour changing on her It just worked! Only fix was removing a workaround the old model needed to get better colours I think it looks a lot more effective with this model Happy Kitty! #VTuberTech

#BRDD3 is the best game I have played in 2026! I'm too British to understand the jokes as they're intended for people from #Brazil. It's god-tier shitpost for a culture I'm not part of, and that still came across! The soundtrack is amazing! 100% recommended if you like a good #BoomerShooter

Oh shitttt! Let's go! 2026 is the year I finally manage to ditch Microsoft!

Which hair colour looks best? #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Furry #Catgirl

Looked at the options and it seems like CachyOS is the one I want to try. Next will be setting it up on my laptop+eGPU and seeing if I can replicate my streaming setup there. It's probably going to be a few months before I switch. My deadline is when Win11 IoT 23H2 updates stop in November 2026

New schedule Mon: #BeatSaber Tue: Ever17 Wed: Perplexity Thu: #Peak Fri: Brazilian Drug Dealer 3: I opened a portal to hell in the Favela trying to revive Mit Aia I need to close it Sat: #FFXIV & Talos Principle Sun: Software dev & FFXIV #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Furry #Streamer #SmallStreamer

Of course the next decision is the inevitible what Linux distro to use in 2026? Streaming, gaming, VR and nVidia support are my priority. Traditionally I've been a Debian and KDE enjoyer Is it finally time to switch to Arch BTW or a derivative, since that's what SteamOS is based on?

For those of us still holding out on #Windows 11 23H2 to avoid AI and all the other garbage - Direct link to this month's IoT security update (KB5073455) works fine on 11 Pro SHA1: wodeDO9pBv/hV/RMG3xyCCbJLt8=) (SHA256: SN363aFZo4+PJ8vqXk4LJ/JwvnwLsUx1SBgB0qCK9jI= #Windows11 #FuckAI #FuckCopilot

Only blocker left that I can think of for a Linux switch is no support for my Elgato HD60S. Like sure the HD60S is a shit capture card, the only thing worse than it is literally every other capture card that I tried (I need support for interlaced video and weird frame rates like 49.whatever FPS)

Oh hell yes! This was the main blocker for me being able to ditch Windows. Definitely gonna look into jumping ship soon (Fuck AI)

Out of context screenshot of the day:

This kitty is now on a 1 week hiatus, next stream will be Peak, on Thursday, and then I'll be back to my regular schedule (and picking up Ever17 again) I don't travel during the actually holiday period because the driving is awful, but am now heading up north visiting family & friends

The most unintentionally funny piece of dialogue I've seen in quite a while! #WildwoodDown #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Furry

Here's the video version, since I can't keep #BeatSaber VODs up on Twitch. I love how she moves, she's so cute dancing like this! I need to do some clothing physics tweaks, but still very happy with this! #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Catgirl #Furry

Thank you so much for such a fun debut stream, hanging out, requesting songs and just having a good time. I can finally post pictures of the new model and I still can't get over how cute she is! Gonna have so much fun streaming with her! #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Furry #Catgirl #VNyan #Streamer

4 hours until my 2.0 debut! We'll be doing a quick model intro and then into Beat Saber to give her a proper workout, figuratively and literally. Song requests will be on and surely nothing will break 🤣 #VTuber #ENVtuber #VTuberEN #Catgirl #Furry #Twitch #Stream #Streamer #SmallStreamer

2.0 Debut tomorrow! 8PM GMT / 3PM EST She's done. I guess Tomorrow's BeatSaber stream will also be the launch of my 2.0! I'm so happy with how she turned out! Nothing like a trial by fire, doing this with a VR stream! #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN

So #MixItUp changed the currency/inventory APIs to return JSON instead of just a raw number with the relevent amount. If you used these APIs in your own software, You'll need to update it from parsing string->int to string->json and read the "amount" value as an int

My #VNyan -> #MixItUp plugin has been updated to 1.1b this is a quick hotfix to address the API changes in MIU 1.6 It /should/ work. I could only test the parts I actually use, so hopefully I haven't missed any! github.com/LumKitty/VNy... #VTuberTech

Heads up. It looks like there may be API changes in #MixItUp 1.6 which has broken my #VNyan -> MixItUp integration plugin. If you are using this plugin DO NOT UPGRADE TO 1.6 until I have time to investigate and update it #VTuberTech

Should I go full furry for 2026, or should I stick to being a catgirl? decisions #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN (This is a WIP modification of a VRC model I bought original creator is Cilcipher)

LMAO #FFXIV

🧵 Thoughts on the UDCap #VR gloves. A little fiddly to setup, but once done they work well. I like that once you attach a tracker and tell it what type you have they can emulate an index controller so you don't have to faff with hand alighment. This worked straight away in Beat Saber and in #VNyan…

Stream is probably not happening today because it's 8:30PM and I only just woke up
