@RebaRabbit @wenchcoat @critta @softtummybitch that’s kinda what I do right now, except it’s vr (it’s currently… not very good on linux; I blame valve and steamvr)

other than vr, literally everything I need runs just fine on linux (either natively or through wine/proton), so yeah

going through saved photos, just wanted to share one of my faves #corvids

man…. easy piracy is one of the best things about having an android device.

whats happening #art tag iv got this #bones creature to #haunt ur timeline

sry to #retoast this at ynzgaiz but the #tags were #broken jesus christ im bad at internet

ok, i think this is done

put uhhhhhhh 30+ hours into it?? oops

also during the wedding they accidentally called the husband the “wife” during the vows and, as the one openly trans person there, I had to hold my tongue hard so I wouldn’t jokingly congratulate them on their transition

i have! completed my steam next fest demo list! which means i now come bearing recommendations and such. i will be blog posting about these soon as well, but i wanted to share at least a few before next fest ends ^^

30 Birds - a sort of adventure/mystery game inspired and based in Persian folklore. incredible artistry going on here, especially the music imo. the story they’re telling seems quite compelling already, and i’m quite fond of the character interactions they showed in the demo. also there’s talking birds that you befriend!

Bugaboo Pocket - raising bugs like they’re Tamagotchis, but with an overarching story about revitalizing a forest that was burned to the ground by human error. extremely charming pixel art: the bugs are both realistic and adorable. 100% was made by entomologists.

Scarlet Deer Inn - a 2d narrative game with some kinds of metroidvania-esque inspirations in places. i adore the artwork of this game. the character art all being embroidered is fantastic. an incredible treat for the eyes. beyond that, it’s got some really good writing going on, the characters feel really well fleshed out.

Mousebusters - i mean, come on. the game starts off with mouse TF, what else do you want. ok but aside from that: really cute presentation and funny idea: what if mice were trying to rid an apartment complex of ghosts? even aside from that, there seems to be bits of plot intrigue that hint to something even deeper going on.

Some Goodbyes We Made - an emotional collection of minigames about saying goodbye. this is exactly the kind of game i love seeing get made. each minigame conveys a different type of goodbye with different, fitting mechanics. just the demo already cut me at my core, delivering a really solid gut punch. very high potential to be a beautiful, short experience.

Urban Myth Dissolution Center - a bizarre, fascinating, creepy combination of ace attorney investigations and the case of the golden idol, but a heavier dose of anime than either. compiling information through scouring rumors on social media, gathering clues at a scene, putting them together to form hypotheses, using those to identify the causes of those initial rumors. all this wrapped up with a very potent and evocative art direction.

Mini Mini Golf Golf - this game is not about mini golf. i can’t say i even know what it’s about, but it’s enthralling. a hypothesized future where climate disaster causes massive shifts, spacetime anomalies detected in an “old” mini golf video game, and theories about memory tunnels piercing through the spacetime continuum to connect people. there were moments in the demo that just kinda left me speechless.

that’s all the recommendations i’ve got!! i’ll definitely go deeper into this soon, i plan on making a blog post going over all of the demos i played and found something interesting to say about. stay tuned for that!

unfortunately, Fiend Mode has been enabled. i am no longer able to engage in charisma checks and my alignment has changed to Chaotic Evil until Fiend Mode is disabled in 14 days

@tenna oh, I should get ipv6 actually working on my setup too, I do have an ipv6 address for this box, but I still gotta configure some stuff

@kuchaibee Hello. I feel like the skewed submit button is an inspiration for us all. Thank you.

Rechost if #melon is big.

@tenna meanwhile, my GPU (gigabyte rx7600xt) apparently doesn’t care about the vram temps by default, which meant that I had to make some custom fan curves with fancontrol (at least in windows, linux seems to handle things fine) or otherwise it’d get toasty

and sure enough, zero RPM was initially causing some issues with that lmao

soooo i commissioned some #emojos from Caius and i really like them

if you don't know, these are portraits of my favorite goat alien from #OuterWilds, Solanum

wait can I actually at least post short 128 kbps mp3s here

I’ll TAKE IT

last night I was like “I gOTTa make Stepfile Music” and also “I wanna synthesize a decent organ to have on hand” so I googled and saw the scary in the screenshot but then I just traced over the lower harmonics of an ehhh-sounding SpectraVoice “organ” H.type and adjusted them to taste and it sounded good so I layered up some Groovy Tunage and was then like “y’know, this needs some THROAT” and I’m not really a throat user but I’ve been trying to figure something out in that regard so I continued trying to figure something out through this

it might be making me feel a weird impulse to actually continue working on a thing?????
