Our servers have caught up with the demand from our new denizens and account migrations, and I just negotiated a new contract with our hosting provider that has effectively doubled our capacity.
In other words, ✨Plush✨ City just solved its traffic problem and has plenty of move-in-ready cybrehomes available for any soft friends (or allies of soft friends!) in need of one.
💜 to folks that put in the work each day and manage to stay sane and good to their users.
If you can, please let your local smaller instance mods know you appreciate them today.
It's valid to be angry when mods in larger instances breach the trust of their users. But reminder: there are plenty of folks that do yeoman's work each day to keep their users safe and handle disputes that you never see. Many of whom are probably feeling caught in the crossfire and undervalued by folks dunking on Fedi after putting in the work.
Reminder that this work is hard. And it's worth it.

High density, brutalist neon glow mixed with equal parts nature and ingenuity is an oddly specific vision of reality that we should have right now, and I miss it without it (yet) having come into being.

Visited a fully realized cyberpunk world in VRChat yesterday designed by folks in the synth and furry communities there, and I have never experienced such specific nostalgia for a time and place that hasn't existed yet: https://www.vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_424c75c2-533c-4922-be0d-cd13c6aa6d6f&instanceId=5268~public

And for those that prefer video, here's a VOD of my test run: https://m.twitch.tv/videos/729927082
synths in ocarina of time
2020 is a hell year, but at least I can play as a synth in OoT.

I implemented something that draws sprites onto the Mode 7 layer in software by copying the graphics underneath them and pasting the sprite on top. I tried making them move more smoothly but that didn't quite work out, because that meant re-rendering every sprite every frame and that added up to too much.

CW: You are more than your income. This is not your fault.
Don't be too hard on yourself if things aren't working out. We have the worst president in memory, during a pandemic that's killed 160k+ Americans, and the people in charge are not providing any help or relief. The government is the failure here, not you.
You are more than your income.
Don't shoulder the blame and damage your self worth because the system is rigged and isn't working. SCREW THAT. You are not a failure. You. Are. Not.
We're all struggling together! Going to work and catching Covid could possibly kill you or the people you care about. This is not on you! You should not have to struggle or even worry about finding work during this time. It's irresponsible of those in charge to expect it.
You are not worthless.
