i didn't like eggs for the longest time b/c mouthfeel, but scrambled with a good "overdone" sear gives a wonderful texture imo

comparing your pain to others' is silly, because there is only one who truly experiences the greatest of suffering:

the prisoner that shot my cat in RimWorld

a man speaks to a woman: soo, you're one of them transgenders?

she replies “ya, but i'm mostly into mario kart speedruns” then begins a lengthy bombast about mario kart

later we see the man at a table with his wife. he says to her: martha, today i met someone whos...
different

but i'm learning that there's nothing wrong with that

I'll be releasing the volumetric video lighting system used for Cathedral of Witches, Aurora Lights, & Sahaal for anyone to use soon. Works with anything that outputs to a RenderTexture (ProTV/TXL/in-world cams). Doing a lot of work to try to make it as easy to drop into your world as possible.

adderall for ppl w/ ADHD gives us the endorphines people normally get day-to-day. you're not taking it to flood your brain with excess dopamine, or to hyperfocus overnight; you're taking it for a baseline most people are born producing. it's a sustainable amount our brains expect to handle.

you can change it in the settings (search "Side Button" or "Power Button"), but considering part of the power menu is the fucking emergency services button, it's genuinely dangerous on top of being incredibly annoying

i will put so much goddamn effort into uninstalling AI bullshit from every device i own

today i woke up to my power button on my phone being replaced with AI without asking

i don't want it, i won't use it, and trying to force me into it is infuriating.

next phone is gonna be from 2005 stg

for ours, we were inspired by a few, but one in particular stands out: Endless Serenity by @auzlex.bsky.social vrchat.com/home/world/w...

this world uses real-time reflection probes to light the world, and it made me want to test out different lighting solutions, leading to the creation of AppleGI

Endless Serenity by Auzlex

This world is an experiment in making scripts and modifications to shaders for future projects that utilize real-time lighting or dynamic changing elements․ This world is far from perfect in performan...

particle pool was absolutely also inspired by previous works we had seen!! i'm very happy to hear we could be part of that cycle of innovation, and i'm excited to see what y'all do with yours:)

fun fact: moon_pool's particle shader was then adapted into both the SNR hologram and my star world!~

Micca @lomg.fyi · Aug 24

322,000 particles or so I think

I threw this shader together for Stage Flight. It works similarly to the fast gpu particle shader I wrote for Somna.

Works entirely on a video mapped input; color, depth, and xyz bias.

Absolutely inspired by a world I saw a year ago. Particle Pool or such?

since it's the last day of pride month I figured I'd at least make one thing for it...

i now unveil to you my greatest invention:
color bars pride flag

An LGBTQ+ pride flag formatted in the layout of the SMPTE "color bars" test pattern used for broadcast television. The first set of columns use the colors of the gay pride flag, with the addition of the original SMPTE color on the final column. The second set of columns contains two pride flags - the pansexual flag horizontally, and the asexual flag flipped and horizontal. The final set of columns contains the three colors of the transgender flag and the two POC-inclusive colors, followed by the original bar gradient from the SMPTE ECR-1-1978 pattern.

Thank you all so much for yesterday.
It's kind of scary to be this intimate on stage.
My whole body was trembling throughout the entire show.

Hearing everyone's reactions and seeing the reception, my heart is just so full right now 💓

I will never forget this night.
