Fuck-It Friday. The day I play random games I wouldn't normally play. Today I am playing "Who the fuck ate Grandma?" a 90s-style #PointAndClick #AdventureGame that came out yesterday. No idea if it's any good, lets find out! twitch.tv/LumKitty #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Twitch #SmallStreamer

Dear #NVidia I have solved the #12VHPWR #GPU power connector issues for you. This innovative technology is capable of supporting 12V loads at up to 6000W without melting the connector. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss licensing terms.

#UKPol Does anyone seriously believe that firing Olly Robbins is anything other than a scapegoat to save Starmer's job? Whether Robbins knew about the fail or not, we all know Starmer forced this through, anyone paying the slightest bit of attention knew for 15 years that Mandelson was dodgy as fuck

My friend Neocortex, who you have likely seen on my Thursday streams is currently doing his 2.0 model debut, and a live #neuroscience panel, please go check him out twitch.tv/NeocortexVT #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Twitch #Stream #Streamer #SmallStreamer

Unfortunately had to end early. London air has done a number on my throat (as is often the case) and I can't do the final chapter of this VN justice. We'll try again next week

Tonight's stream of The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma is likely to be delayed by a few hours, possibly cancelled. I forgot I had a hospital appointment that's a 3 hour drive from where I live, so this depends entirely on traffic and spoons when I return

2026..

First stream on @joystick.tv went well I think, and holy shit am I glad I decided to move my #Yu-No streams to this site. The #PC98 version is definitely not Twitch safe once you're 10 hours in! Moving (partially) to a new platform and starting again is definitely scary, but I think it's worth it

Got a new Android phone for work recently. I only use it for work apps, The Register and BBC News My notifications are constantly recommending GBNews (basically UK Fox News) Interesting that the algorithm does that on a fresh account with no activity that suggests an interest in far-right content🤔

Full statement on why I'm switching my streams of Yu-No over to @joystick.tv - too long to split up into BSky posts vt.social/@LumKitty/11... If you want to continue watching my playthrough of one of the most influential Visual Novels ever made, drop me a follow at: joystick.tv/u/lumkitty

It looks like the developer of #Poiyomi shaders had their PC hacked Do not download or update Poiyomi until we know more as the hacker could have added malware Looking around their discord it seems to be genuine, and is reposted by the #VRChat dev on twitter #VTuberTech #Unity #VTuber

When one of the puzzles in #ZeroEscape is so obnoxious, it's faster to just interrupt stream and write a #Powershell script to brute force the bloody thing! The puzzle requires you to make the number 91 on this non-standard dartboard, but you can only use one red, one green and one blue section

I decided to go with streaming Yu-No on @joystick.tv instead. Fansly's ban on furries probably means I can't even stream SFW content there! So why would I want to stream there? joystick.tv/u/lumkitty I've uploaded my VODs for parts 1&2 and hopefully everything gets approved in time

Actually should I stream on joystick.tv rather than Fansly? Given that Fansly banned furries. I don't know if spicy visual novel streams will work on either platform, but I'd like to have as many options as possible. I probably couldn't stream Mice Tea, for example, on Fansly

This game has the most jank physics and the worst controls this side of QWOP... it's fantastic! (Collab with NeocortexVT) #SuperBunnyMan #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN

BlueSky really needs a localised time feature, similar to @time on Discord

Amazing, one of the candidates for LGBT rep in my trade union (Unite) dropped a TERF dogwhistle in her materials >.< "standing up for LGBT rights as defined in the Equality Act 2010" is a very loaded choice of phrase presently At least John Williams states he supports trans people. Voting for him!

I think I'm going to have a day off today, need to rest my voice a bit, and also take advantage of what's left of the long weekend for a bit of self care

Tonight's #VisualNovel stream is going to be a special one. A 30 year old PC-98 game that basically set the standard for the multi-route time-travel mystery, and directly inspired Uchikoshi when making Ever17 and #ZeroEscape so a game that's historically significant It's also 🔞 Starting in < 3hrs

Sometimes you have to separate the artist from the oxygen.

This game is so frickin' cute aaaaaa!

So it looks like it isn't going to be a oneshot, as I only managed Ch.1 but The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma is brilliant. The art is so cute! I guess, temporarily, Fuck-it Friday is gonna be a second Visual Novel slot >.<

This is the funniest shit I've read in a while. Conservative Party MP defects to ReformUK as seems to be a trend at the moment. Local Conservative Party responds by denying him access to the office he had in their HQ building, you know on account of him now being with another party. FAFO LMAO

So I was gonna stream Beat Saber, but my ISP has other ideas. Maybe later if they get off their arse and fix it. Their website currently says there are no issues, but Reddit and Downdetector disagree

I wonder if it's possible to hack Spout2 output onto the Camera2 mod for BeatSaber? I also wonder if it's possible to do LIV-style foreground/background split (and LIVnyan-style position control) This post doesn't necessarily mean I'm gonna actually work on this, or even that this can be done!

I think my #Linux switch is going to be scuppered by poor VR support Working: Beyond2e (eyetracking needs kernel patch), Beat Saber, Tundra trackers Not working: UDCap gloves, LIV, VRChat (ok in quiet areas, movement stutter is unbearable under load) A shame as I much prefer the OS to actually use!

In case you're wondering why I'm switching to Linux, LMAO

I put together a GE-Proton10 build with the memory leak/stability fixes for Unity apps (VTS, Warudo, VNyan, etc.): github.com/hoshinolina/... Please help test! ^^

My switch to #Linux #CachyOS went pretty well. tl;dr: Tegular users (web, email office) should be fine. Gamers should be mostly fine. Streaming and especially VTubing may be more challenging Full Writeup: vt.social/@LumKitty/11... Video of the experience: www.twitch.tv/videos/27290...

I use CachyOS BTW :3

Yesterday's Linux upgrade results: If you're a general PC user (browser, office, email etc.) then the switch is super easy and have you covered If you're a gamer, I'd guess around 90% of use cases are covered If you're a streamer...

I think I'd rather do without...

Planning on streaming a much older visual novel than usual, but this means I have to deal with dithered artwork that was never meant to be shown on an LCD, so messing with CRT shaders, but of course I can't do scanlines because they don't work on twitch Which of these 3 images do you think is best?

Home safe from #MinamiCon. Also ded. Too knackered to write anything else. Highly unlikely I do a Monday stream

So I had tech fails during my Pimp my VRoid panel at #MinamiCon and ran out of time. Any interest in me running it on Twitch next weekend? Showing the easy/lazy way to get models into unity, upgrade face tracking, fix hair clipping, shaders, physics, cloth & converting VRChat models #VTuberTech

Anyone noticed a trend of BSky accounts (usually businesses) unfollowing and refollowing multiple times within a few days. Are they just fishing for follow backs?

Right, no more kitty streams until at least Monday, probably Tuesday when we will definitely be finishing Ever17, for reals this time. If you happen to be going to #MinamiCon maybe I'll see you there? (pls come to my VTuber Tech panel ;3 )

Still can't believe that Starmer didn't think Peter Mandelson, the guy nicknamed "the Prince of Darkness" during the Blair administration turned out to be dodgy. Anyone who was paying the slightest bit of attention knew that! Though I guess now we should call him Peter Mountbatten-Darkness #UKPol

So r/twitch apparently don't allow the word "ban" in posts, but also apparently haven't heard of the Scunthorpe Problem, so you can't use the word "bandwidth" while discussing streaming video on the internet

So I genuinely thought that would be the #Ever17 finalé but it turns out we only made it to day 6 of the Koko route. Hopefully I haven't ended like 10 mins before the conclusion, but I won't know until next week. Even if that does happen, I'll just start Never7, so it's fine :3

New Microsoft Copilot for gaming will handle the difficult work of clearing Ultimate raids for you - freeing you up for the important task of standing around in Limsa so that everyone can admire your shiny FRU weapon and the time & dedication you put into obtaining it! This post is not about gaming

So NA/EU DST discrepancy fucks my schedule again if you're in the Americas: My weekday streams will be 1 hour late My weekend streams will be on time. If you're in Europev My weekday streams will be on time My weekend streams will be 1 hour early After 29th Mar it'll go back to normal #FuckDST

If you're ever in a situation where you need to make a Win11 laptop be a mobile hotspot even without an internet connection (because maybe you're doing a #VTuber tech panel and need to hook up an iPhone for tracking without relying on shitty hotel wifi) this guide worked for me: #VTuberTech #VNyan

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Tail Floof upgrade! @piemur1.bsky.social fixed the UV mapping for me so that every triangle used the same texture. I then split the tail into two materials (w/ customisable colours, of course!) and added a normal map, make it looks so much fluffier! #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #VTuberTech #VNyan

Shader and physics work for @nuvie.tv - Thank you so much for trusting me with your model! Ear movement tied to facial expressions Magica bone physics Added physics to collar Customisable body emissions (not shown) Latex toggle (not shown) #VTuber #VTuberEN #ENVTuber #VTuberTech #VNyan

Started this #ZeroEscape stream by making a bingo card. I'll post in the replies which ones got ticked off, which will also include predictions I made during the game. We'll see how the rest goes in the coming weeks
