Ahrah: @dragongirlcock encouraged us to tell you that we've recently made the permanent jump from Windows to Linux. Your post on the topic on top of the usual Microsoft bullshit was one of the catalysts to just do it now. We did play around with several different distros in 2013 in a dual boot system, so we already had a feel for a few different ones and what we prefer in a DE and whatnot. They were all Debian based, but then we happened to stumble across Garuda KDE Dr460nized, and aside from that we really like KDE Plasma, couldn't possibly pass up on a distro with that name XD Plus it has been nice having most gaming things working out of the box and generally saved us some floundering in figuring out what all we needed, bc things have come a long way since 2013.
We've been having bit of a time trying to learn the terminal and all, and have been running into miscellaneous issues, but it has been comforting to have more expirienced people we know look at them and go, "that problem is Weird wtf???"
Sometimes we'll go looking for info and the internet is like, "Ubuntu = Linux, especially if you're a newbie, and here's how to do things without having to touch the big scary terminal :) " and anything that might be helpful it feels like there's the expectation that you know everything already if you're on Arch. *angry dragon noises*
We feel like we've somehow happened to slip through the cracks of what people "typically" do or are encouraged to do when it comes to transitioning to Linux, why is this? Bc I feel that us having more of an interest in learning more shouldn't be that odd, it seems stranger to me that there seems to be a Windows vs Mac parallel with Debian vs Arch in terms of the general information available and expectations??? Also any recommentions on ways to just stumble upon things would be helpful. Bc sure we can got to the AUR, but you have to kind of already know what you're looking for.
hell yeah !!! welcome to The Community !! (programmer socks optional d: )
oooooohhh garuda !! recognised the name and is bc it's built atop arch !!
yeag, the ubuntu-as-default assumptions (which, annoyingly, even affects debian users sometimes) are frustrating. also the "commands scawy uwu" attitude (which also seems to include "just paste this magic command in the terminal dw it's totally fine :))))" from time to time) is frustrating as well.
i don't expect every single person to manually install arch, or like gentoo or smth, spend a week configuring it, and fuckign write an emacs port to run it as a full wayland compositor, but treating computers as Magical Boxes and users as Inherently Inept really gets my goat.
idk what good communities look like anymore bc i'm not part of any and solve shit myself or by asking friends/partners, but for arch, the official wiki tends to have most things well-explained. it's not a complete solution but it should help 🩷
in conjunction w/ the arch wiki, we use stackoverflow, man pages (documentation that doesn't require a website 7 months pregnant w/ javascript octuplets ? gooodddsss it feels good), package manager search, chaotic-aur (has most aur packages pre-compiled as an additional repo, so pacman can search and install them), tldr which is simplified man pages (very handy for example commands !!)
linux systems really are a thousand rats in a trench coat, so understanding what rats ya got helps but can take time. the best way round that is have a system you can break.
for like getting from ubuntu-coded to arch-coded, we're planning some GUIDEs that may be handy. wanna cover basic terminal and shell stuff, standard unix commands, what some of the bigger trenchcoat rats are and why.
until then, if there's any specific questions feel free to drop a message here or in DMs or wherever 🩷

top tip for new gif people because i've seen a few recently (which is really cool) - tumblr will compress your gif to a width of 540px when you upload it. this compression won't retain as much quality as if you just resize it to 540px across in photoshop/whatever program you use. tumblr will suck the life out of your beautiful crisp 1080px gif whereas photoshop will do its best not to (resizing in vapoursynth or similar is ideal but that's not necessary and often too much effort for adults with real lives)
#i learnt all of this during covid as a teen with a sunday job so that's why i could afford to care#also 540px is if you've got one gif per row#2 gifs per row should be resized to a width of 268px each#and 3 per row is 177px - 178px - 177px#height doesn't matter#you can google tumblr gif dimensions for a diagram but there are a few from before they increased the width in photo posts so lots of#conflicting info there#these are the correct ones#it's personal preference whether to resize ofc but the vast majority of people do#also whilst i'm yapping here#photoshop can do stuff that other software or online platforms can't#obviously use whichever one you prefer or have access to - it really doesn't matter#the more gifs the better#yay#but if there's something you've seen other people do that you can't figure out#and you're not using photoshop#chances are the other person is.#there are good alternatives like photopea but that still doesn't quite match ps#saying this bc i had a small phase of being quite discouraged as a 17yo md/zs fan from looking at all the online options and realising that#none of them had the capabilities to create the kind of gfx that i saw other people making and wanted to try out myself#ofc there's a learning curve too and LOTS to get wrong then try again but there is also the insurmountable difference between ps and#online alternatives. i hope it doesn't put people off from trying#keep at it with whatever program you've got your hands on#and if you really want photoshop. well. cough 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ cough#excuse me what was i saying#i cant remember bye have fun

open question to metroid mutuals... ive never really dived into the internals of the prime games outside of sifting through extracted audio and texture files...
so my question is: how is level geometry stored? is there a fairly standard container / filetype?
basically, im wondering if there's a way to get the level geometry for frigate orpheon as a mesh file so i can do something fun with it in a radiation physics simulation software
bonus question: do you think the reactor is fission, fusion, matter-antimatter, or something else? i already have my opinion, but curious what others think
#any info is appreciated. even if i cant read it in directly being able to visualize it in 3D will make it easier to draw it in the#physics software i have in mind#metroid#metroid prime

grabbing kanru hua by the collar. where is manual mode kanru. where is she.
#jkjkjk sv2 looking crazy so far with the tiny bit they showed us. im VERY excited about the supposed faster rendering#updated vocals sound great. well the vibratos sound wack. but sv's auto vibratos almost always sound wack#mouth opening is awesome. certain banks have that in vocal modes (astewian <3) but it'll be awesome for everyone to have it#also i like the separate of timbre pitch etc with vocal modes a LOT i think that gives it quite a bit of versatility#they didnt say anything about standard banks but based off what weve seen im assuming theyre getting taken out back LOL#old yellering them.... but thats chill i expected that tbh. as long its relatively easy to keep up sv1 as legacy software <3#pricing i also expected will be paid LOL i understand others are very upset by that but im used to it for version update software#as long as its only the editor and not the voicebanks and as long as its not. tooo expensive im chill. if its more than like i dunno#1.5 the price of sv1 i am gonna flip though <3 <3 <3 <3 also it better be on dlsite i neeeeed those 15% off coupons#it would also be nice if we had a clearer timeline of when to expect more info on this version but thats also whatever#NOW. the one thing i am genuinely very concerned about. where is manual mode. where is it#real time auto pitch is fine but i only use that with rikka. everyone else i either blank out or prerender a subtle autopitch base#that i edit a whole bunch. asterian i hand draw like 80% of his vibratos because im insane#where is she. where is manual mode. what have you done with her kanru. what have you done with herrrrrr#i know theyre reeeeaaaally aiming for industry people and demo artists but pleeeeeease. pleeeeeeeaaaaase where is manual mode

it's called the switch 2 because there's 2 deltarunes
#deltarune#fortunately it says which console it's for under the software info when you press start. otherwise id have a hard time telling them apart#(buying one makes the other free btw i did NOT spend $50 on deltarune)

lil update
i dont draw anymore tbh but I was tasked with creating official illustrations for my country's iaido association to be printed alongside the official translation of the standardised iaido kata
and MAN it took much longer than it should've and it was awful and im unhappy with the results and it honestly killed my joy for drawing lol
but im still happy that I got to do it, it was a huge honor bc iaido means so much to me
#im also tasked with creating a logo for my dojo which is another HUGE honor#and also another iaido association wants me to modernise their logo too#like now that the info is spreading that I did those illustrations. all the iaido ppl are coming to me to do more graphic design stuff#which is cool but also nooo 😭#I cant do logos lollll the one for the dojo is a matter of the heart for me so im doing it#but I hope I can dodge anything else in the future lol#delete later#im also currently becoming a software developer. so that and iaido are taking up most of my time#the last bit of freetime I have is spent with my bf#im hoping to come back to drawing in the future but honestly who knows#might take another few years#<:/

(he's autistic to me)
#master sol#my gifs#only tagging this as sol for reasons#but fine to rb#he's probs just flustered but his mannerisms during this entire scene were so recognisable for me#during the whole talk when i first saw this scene and of course looking back it makes more sense why he avoided eye contact that much#but still let me hc my favs#this gif is bad quality but i'm too tired to get my laptop with my gif editing software aka capcut rn#but it's not really abt the gif itself anyway but more about my association#feeling kinda weird abt posting this since i'm still waiting for my assesment and actually i don't think it's autism after all so maybe#i should hold off on posts like this since if i'm indeed not autistic then i have just been making assumptions based on limited online info#and some stuff my tutor told me - at least he knows actual autistic ppl as opposed to me and has more nuanced knowledge#but it was literally the thought that immediatly came to me bc the way he avoided eyecontact is very familiar to me#so me thinking of him as autistic is based on similarlty to myself except if i'm not autistic then it's just cherry picked stuff about myse#that fits a cliche so yeah kinda meh#anyway a bit of a rant#should be assessed in a few weeks time now hopefully

#my old job required using what i can most efficiently describe as old-timey green text on black screen direct system prompt style software#best system of my life. only the important info at any time#new outlook feels like fisher price babys first email job#it has no dignity or severity to it

Does anyone know of a good notes app? Like one that never sends notifications and no ads and doesn't send any info anywhere or connect to the internet in any way. I want the notepad of android. Just something to type into and save it, preferably to a file that could be easily moved to another device. Maybe basic text formatting
#i realize I'm asking a lot here#mobile software kinda sucks. it all wants to harvest your info and sell ad space#i miss good old freeware

It is genuinely a weird feeling to have been tracking AI development since 2014 and seeing all the people just find out about it in the past 4 years because the same people that will call you a horrible degenerate for going anywhere near AI are literally the same people who praise Tiktok for its algorithm and they don't even know. They don't even *know* what the algorithm is.
#personal post#i looked it up and now algorithm aren't 'technically ai' anymore#because the type of ai we think if now is different from the type of ai they use in algorithms#but... ai is also just a marketing term anyway#what we call ai Isnt even ai officially because its not intelligent. objectively.#its dumb as fuck ngl. lol#thats not what intelligent means here but anyway#but yeah the tiktok algorithm the YouTube algorithm#literally anything that has the word algorithm in it#the software used in editing programs to remove background noise (i think)#the software on photoshop that edits out background but not in the “remove all pixels 50% related to this color pixel” way but the#“determine what is not a person” here way#thats all ai (im pretty sure)#and they dont even know.#because they weren't an insane kid like me who liked to watch algorithm videos and math videos on YouTube#do you know how many fucking chatbots ive talked to???#ive put too much info about how that shit works into my head its stupid#but yeah i watched the fucking blobs build a civilization get on my fucking level#no one is going to get that reference. literally no one.

Continuing to take commissions! :D My post is XIV focused (and, yeah, I especially love drawing lalafells, but draw other races too, I swear,) but always enjoy drawing from other fandoms too. <3 (*loving look at her TAG!/TOS fandom <3*)
Sometimes when streaming on Twitch, I open up option for quick on stream doodles too! It'll be on my ko-fi/mentioned in chat by nightbot when I am. ^.^b Last, but not least, I have re-opened my full commissions too, just with the caveat that with life making me juggle so many things right now, they might face more delays than sketches. Check out information here!
#jen draws stuff#commissions#commission info#art commissions#Warrior of Light#my thanks many times over for any signal boosts ;A;/#help me be able to keep playing/streaming XIV! ;A;#(I wanna see G'raha eat tacos ;A;)#for record though isn't just XIV that am in need of a new compy for#a lot of software is complaining at me ah ha XD
