Please look at this extremely good avatar I commissioned from DazureSky on Twitter. It's so spaaaaacey.

Transhumanism feelings
It's interesting in a way how I have a preference for obviously manufactured/synthetic transhumanism.
Supposing we lived in a world where all sorts of body modification existed: genetic, mechanical, nanotechnology, whatever. I think I would personally prefer a body that makes it obvious I made it myself, or had constructed to suit my needs. Because that means my body's "unnaturalness" and manufactured nature is part of my self-definition upon reality, rather than an organic body that seemingly evolved and happened to fit me just right.
There may also be some aversion to the messiness of biology. It doesn't matter how much a genetically engineered body might fit me, perhaps too I would still feel put off by things that come with being organic. Maybe I would feel less this way if I was able-bodied, I dunno.
Then again, if I was able-bodied I would probably also not have endless fantasies over transhumanism. An opinions thereof over its direction under the lead of Silicon Valley types...
Dragons tho...
How to get exercise: testing VR avatar physics. Wiggling like that is exhausting.
Trying both the Twitter version (not compressed by Handbrake because Twitter hates that??) and the compressed version is the same. Maybe Mastodon interprets a video as a gif (even though it's still video) if it's under a certain length and has no audio channel??
why is modern web, this
okay mastodon why are you turning this mp4 specifically into a gif
I wasn't entirely feeling the wiggle physics in reviewing it in this recording, so I spent some time making it feel more swishy~.
Anyway I'm generally not one to watch slice of life comedy stuff but I'm at least somewhat amused by the premise and I'm all for more fantasy anime that are from the monster perspective.
... this is just the millennial furry experience in the current economic climate.
VRChat and thoughts on social gatherings/fatigue
I wanna hang out with friends more in VRChat...
... but preferably just... casual chill places. Like, I don't really wanna go to a virtual furcon? Or populated discos? I went to a furcon a few times because I had otherwise not met other furries in person, and it gave me greater opportunity to wear my suit.
But with VR, I can "wear a suit" as it were even with smaller gatherings. A furcon looses its specific function for me, for the most part.
It's also physically tiring standing around in VR. It ironically makes finding a calm escape to rest harder in VR than it would be in an IRL furcon/dance event. (Of course I can simply leave the world or take off the headset, but I'm talking in terms of within a specific virtual space.)
I've found enjoyment in merely losing myself in the idea of being who/what I am with other weirdos, without there needing to be a greater purpose. Be it dancing, gaming, or whatever. Though I naturally understand "just vibing" can only go so far.
Perhaps I simply want more mellow activities. It's just a little hard to find such things sometimes unless you try searching for something specific...
VRchat
tfw you briefly forget you're not actually in the physical space and you look upon critters in VR as being present and the actual physical people... ...
... now if I can better controllers (that aren't Vive wands), I might feel more immersed in my own avatar...
re: VR selfies, identity euphoria
I'm cute...
Spending that time in VR tonight looking at my reflection, I almost felt like crying...? Just... gazing in and taking in the idea I'm looking at my actual self, my body, a toy full of cosmos...
VR selfies, identity euphoria
I don't know how to describe the feeling that is seeing the micro cosmos of stars within me, with perspective and all, in VR... like even beyond being a good VR experience, that feeling of hey, I am full of universe feels validating... like... that is me...
gnosia, genocide
... depends on your definition of mankind. Also, there is no "should".
I recently streamed My RPG: Watashi no RPG!! to a friend, and through that noticed a handful of things that needed fixing, including a major game-stopping bug, so I've decided to go ahead and update the current demo!
happy trans day to my queer allegory game

I guess this picture's feeling is cropping up for some reason~.
