How 'bout a lil intro?

'Sup. I'm just some geek so mentally unstable I'm unable to work, so I spend a lotta time on my computer. I mess around with #VirtualPhotography in video games. IRL I volunteer for video game events and conventions, and I spend a lot of time in #VRChat!🌙

If this is how Israel treats a internationally-known white European citizen, imagine how they are treating Palestinians every day

In prison, she is held in different cells.
Sometimes a cell of around 15 square meters with 13 other prisoners. There are many days-four? Time blurs together, there were no clocks. They receive hardly any food and no clean water during their entire captivity, but are forced to drink from the tap in the toilet sink, where something brown flows. Several became ill.
- You felt that you couldn't 'afford' to cry because you were so dehydrated.
- It was so hot, like 40 degrees. We begged the whole time: Can we have water? Can we have water? In the end, we screamed. The guards walked in front of the bars the whole time, laughing and holding up their water bottles. They threw the bottles with water in them into the trash cans in front of us.

Got her back. She's a little more awake now that she's gotten nutrients, but...

... The vet is not really optimistic and already mentioned palliative care. Says it's likely a tumour.

She's gonna get an ultrasound by tomorrow, and we'll know for sure.
But if confirmed... She won't be coming back.

Leaving her at the vet's today for her to get nutrients through an IV.

Just being back to my empty apartment left me in tears.

If something happens to her I'll probably be out of commission of a long while.

🦊lots of people wondering about Linux since Windows 10 ends today, and my personal recommendations are Fedora, Linux Mint, or Kubuntu. Friends of ours like Manjaro, so I'll throw that out there too

we personally use Debian with KDE, but I would not recommend that to people just starting out lol

I've heard a lotta great things about Brazzite and Nobara, for gaming specifically.

I use Arch, but that's even less recommended than Debian.

Cat isn't doing well.

She's the only being I can give and get affection back from.

I need her.

Send good vibes.

I released on my GitHub a new shader : Frosted Glass.
The shader uses the scene's environment reflection (reflection probe) to fake transparency : The shader is actually fully opaque and doesn't use any grab pass.

You can download it here :

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

issue right now: headset losing tracking and yeeting/drifting heavily. Quickly moving my head camera through the environment and shifting the floor around as it regains tracking. Its extremely disorienting, and happened like 10x last night in just 4 hrs of gameplay

Any bsb2 users experience this?

きつぞ @kitsuzo.gay · 12d

was shipped the wrong R lense insert tho.

Had this knocking around in my head for about 6 months and finally got around to writing it out and filming it. This is my first time making a video essay and I haven't written VO since college but I'm happy with how it came out. Let me know what you think!

remember this for every AI headline you read

but also keep this one in mind, too

The metaverse economy offers the potential of a wide range of revenue streams, with some estimates predicting it could become an $800 billion-dollar market in just two years and that it could contribute $3 trillion dollars to the global economy in the next decade.

I still crave meaningful social interactions but it's insane how people tend to get on my nerves making me want to just hole up and avoid speaking with anyone forever.

Just sick of being let down or having to deal with difficult folks.
