re: birdsite mention
While deleting my old tweets to prevent scraping from AI, a quote from Ursula K. Le Guin bubbled up to the top completely on accident. I chose to keep it there.

Steam: wow, you've been playing FFXIV quite a lot the past two weeks
Me:
counter-ai meme
Realized I hadn't seen this yet. Seems important to the discussion on OpenAI and Copilot+ Recall at the moment.
Doing minor adjustments on an older avatar project ahead of Furality.
Decided instead of doing a whole new model, I'd revisit with a blendshape similar to what folks modding avatar bases do. Added a bit more volume and fixed some of the flatness of the original version.
I was casually looking at my phone this morning, and realized the Google Authenticator user logo is a perfect illustration for my form of colorblindness.
While I'm lumped into the general "red-green" colorblind category, it represents as a weakness in red receptors for me (that is, colors differentiated by red). The lack of resolution means I see subtle deviations as just a flat splotch of the same color.
So this morning I went "wait, is that purple and slight orange and I never noticed"?

Really proud of my silly player-made house, even though the system is very limited.

As the saying goes: feeling cute, might delete later.
(Finally stopped procrastinating enough to finish my custom. Model by me, wings by Zephyxus and Morghus.)

I ended up making a completely new avatar from scratch for Furality Aqua (based on an adopt I got over a year ago), and it felt pretty good tbh. My prior attempts were a bit awkward, but this one came out great.
homebrew ddr pad, build photos
Revision 2 of the pad, which supports doubles, is coming along well.
It's smaller than a regulation pad on the edges, but should be super comfy for exercise once we connect it up.

Pad is closed up for now. There are changes we'll make in revision 2 to make this wire together better, but it works!

So after using through our old hard pads and being constantly frustrated at nothing being available, we decided to build our own from this guide: https://youtu.be/y6wGYLE0YI4
Turns out this thing is way easier than expected once we got the materials assembled. Each sensor converts physical force into electrical resistance, and each analog channel reads that in and converts it to button presses at a given threshold.
And it works! Next is finish wiring and close it up.
PMD DX, late game dungeon
Update: I finished my run of this successfully, and in celebration, named my Dodrio main "The Dekis" after @Vyzie
Found a cool thing on our hummingbird feeders today while rotating them due to the cold weather:
starbase game, ship design WIP
I wanted to learn how ship design worked in Starbase, so I decided to build an Arwing. The WIP looks pretty neat so far:
mh world nostalgia, endgame monster spoilers, big dragon chompers
A friend wanted help farming Safi'jiiva from World while we wait for Rise to release more quests. This was one of my ending snapshots.
... relatedly, being able to play the game on high detail is pretty great now. 👀 💦
