I guess I should formally announce my presence.

Greetings all, I'm Sanya. I'm the CEO of a quaint little game studio I founded, and am interested in Meteorology and the sciences in general.

Me and my studio are making a game ATM, called Project Absentia.

If y'all wanna keep in contact with me you can find me on Discord. I can't guarantee I'm going to be here on this site much.

SanyaWaffles @sanyawaffles.com · 29d

I'm tired, and this site is not helping. I've had to lock down my feed so tightly I don't see anything anymore.

Why am I even here?

I let my art speak for me. If you're here to hear me constantly "have an opinion" and snark... I'm sorry, I got three games to make and trauma disorder to work out, as well as exploring my recent realization I am plural.

I'm not here to be glued to the discourse.

I've been doing some deep thinking the past couple weeks. Had some talks with friends of mine.

I'm disengaging from the discourse entirely here on out. No justifying minutae.

Y'all know where I stand currently, that's not gonna change, and frankly I'm tired of repeating myself - here or in private

Ruminations: A 🧵

For the last few weeks I've been on somewhat of a self-improvement journey. Trying to eat better, drinking more water, exercising, improving my sleep quality, etc. In addition I've been spending more time with media that are regarded as noteworthy in some form or fashion (1/?)

cw: violence and current events

It's pretty telling that I have to disable autoplay and censor certain keywords so I don't see IRL footage of some chud getting shot.

SanyaWaffles @sanyawaffles.com · Sep 12

sometimes it feels like with some of my peers I'm actively being punished for trying to have a decent life in the face of adversity and bigotry.

It's bad enough the chuds want me down where I belong, but now people who are 'batting for me' want me down where I belong.

Nah, fuck that.

It's easy to doomscroll and feel like you're helpless, that's the biggest lie you've ever done.

Creatives that are still putting out work despite everything.

Streamers that still come to hang with their audience day by day.

Individuals that are making calls to representatives.

Keep being great.

Honestly, I wanna be frothing at the mouth and angry but everyone else has that covered.

Ya'll i'm relaxing. Life is good.

Every single person that I've interacted with are so caught up in the stress of what's going on that they're forgetting that they themselves are incredible.

On the heels of me drawing my sona, I extended the piece and drew a bunch of my characters in a height chart - some I haven't shown to the world yet. And yes, they're all very, very queer.

#art #flashart

Five characters in a row of various heights. Sanya "Waffles" Vaffelzscki - the tallest of the bunch, Kristina, who is dressed in a robe and has a red long bob cut, Aisha and Sasha Kamen - a couple who have their tails entwined in a cute way, and Nikita "Niki" Koslov, who is holding a spatula and is extremely short.

My debut contemporary album, "DESYNC", is 3 years old today. A modern, electronic album all about the modern electronic world.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go turn into a dusty skeleton in the corner of my room.

I drew my sona again for a quick doodle. Decided to make the background a non-binary gradient.

I finally got her proportions looking better and more accurate to what she's supposed to be.

#art #flashart #lgbtart #sona

A depiction of Sanya, my sona. She has dark red messy hair, a big and tall sized body, a choker neclace, a dark green shirt, red tail, dark grey pants and 90s sandals. She is waving friendly like at the viewer, and is smiling

A purplish Steven and Lapis fusion with hair that extends into wings, each layer of fluffy feathers growing lighter until the last are drifting off as cloud matter. The fusion themselves is wearing a purple t0shirt which combines elements of Steven's shirt and Lapis' top, plus some sweat pants, and is shaping a cloud into a heart with a hand.

Hey Firefox users.

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Wow, hard to believe it's been 2 decades. Been modding this port since 06 and it's allowed me to do some utterly mad things with the Doom engine.

🔹 Faithless: Trilogy
🔹 A Boy And His Barrel

Cheers to GZ. 🍻
