positively obsessed with how Rockstar Lestat is the exact kind of guy one of my friends would show me a picture of and swear he’s really sexy and cool and brilliant. Whole time I’m thinking “oh dear GOD” staring at a trainwreck weirdo and wondering what’s happened to everybody else that is absolutely missing me. jesus christ he’s blond
#his outfits are busted he’s cosplaying a vampire as an adult man and on top of it he’s blond#if he was a real guy who came out of nowhere I would think he was so cringe#and iwtv fans are like ‘oh we love him! we would always love him!!!’ LIES#you are on the HATER WEBSITE you are simply partially sexualising him and then rolling your eyes at Lestat/Reader band fic#while reblogging hate tweets (made by armand). don’t look in my eyes and tell me you don’t think he’s a little cringe.#does it matter how camp a man is if straight women want to fuck him. I think not. site of haters we’d be on armand’s side#and also you’d wanna fuck Daniel. as recent trends show#the x reader fic swiftie aesthetic girlies would love Lestat#they want to be a rockstar’s gf#but the gay gore amc hbo nbc bitches would take one look at Daniel crazy geriatric homosexual#who claims to be a vampire and is now touring around with another separate guy claiming to be a vampire#and they would (as they are a currently doing) posting shit like#‘hey is vampire peepaw kinda sexy. like I’d let him bite me. Lestat can die but Daniel come and get it grandpa’#lestat is nothing this is daniel’s time. in the reality where this is actually happening to us and not a tv programme#iwtv#interview with the vampire#rockstar lestat#lestat de lioncourt#the vampire lestat#daniel molloy

oh boy !! ! ! ! !!! ! thANK y0u all for the kind words on my last art posts. you all get it and i was/still am so happy about it
as promised, here's some close-ups of the comic for image quality's sake, and other screenshots i rescued from the community whiteboard (and something else)
first up another sketch of mystery gender-ambiguous being. (please send me more name ideas for them if you got one- i like to hear em! (reminder it's the side character that appeared for <10 seconds in AvM Ep. 30))
a few fav scenes
emotional support cwab
they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.
papery critter.
even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses. (im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)
and finally, little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3
i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.
so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and
[
several hours later ...
]
oh
oh man

it's a little bigger than i expected

#--/ art#alan becker#animator vs animation#animation vs minecraft#Minecraft bed#ava the dark lord#ava the chosen one#me when the project that obviously wasn't going to be done in one night isn't done in one night: D: !?!?!?!?#kudos to whoever routed the Speedrun actual short because that one is so fun and clean and savvy#clever made up time-savers? includes orange's TNT shield-jump?? nonlethal dragon dispatch??? sweet#ithink you can see where i tried to head with this#turns out that turning up the complexity 98 notches higher makes things trickier to parse hmmmmmm?#in fact i might need some help with this one ;>v>' like a lot.#i had a bit of a story and route set up already i just... wanted to make sure everything was at least kinda there...................#we'll see#the pie joke. i was trying to categorize which foodstuffs chosen should be able to make on the fly. with their flame hands.#ex. cooking meats makes sense because flint and steel works for the same purpose (you can kill a burning animal to get cooked meats)#but baking bread or drying kelp seems way more involved or whatever -> needs a proper furnace environment#HOWEVER... i noticed that Steve can just summon pumpkin pies from his bare hands if he wants to without even a workbench. so. sure! lol.#this is scraping the surface of the minutiae i want to consider#(ALSO KUDOS to everyone who RUNS/works on all-advancements. of course. riding on your shoulders here)#final joke is that chosen didn't know how crazy this undertaking would be to learn#but dark is very literally programmable. so you could maybe just plug some TAS instructions into him and off he goes#or even more open-ended than that just give him the list of advancements + stipulations + the wiki and similar result#it'd get done but. i dont think he'd find that fun at all. prefers to write his own instructions if you see what i mean#i might be forgetting some context. it is rather late you see. please ask me questions about this! ;P#tco aa

lord i’ll only stand up on my soapbox for a minute before i get back down and go back to work but it really is that men get to make hyper specific narratives about whatever they want and it’s fine and celebrated meanwhile women have to make a film that appeals to literally every broad general experience but also every single viewer’s hyper-narrow worldview and life experiences or else it’s irredeemable stupid garbage, bad art. got it. thanks guys! ok!
#it makes me crazy how we have to do this every year but that’s fine i guess!!!!!!!!!!!#remember when a literal film festival programmer for a prestige national fest said barbie was bad bc it didn’t validate HER experience#playing with HER barbies? jesus christ

My 2023 was wild, not in a way that anyone would use the term "wild" except me
#this year i travelled to finland. met a beloved mutual there#next week after that travelled to sweden/denmark (like copenhagen & malmo lol) to meet my old friend (with a recent friend lol)#then like. in spring we had this active/fitness challenege that kind of speed-run developing friendship with my coworkers#that challenge lasted 3 months i think?#also bc of it i went on walks frequently around one pond and was observing day by day a swan pair nesting their eggs until eventually#i saw their babies#also went on a 19km hike and 26km hike during the event that was crazy. swore to never do it again#ALSO participated in a trail running event (6km) and swore to never do it again#then i defended my thesis and gratuated#started thinking about and applying for phd#went on a 3 day roadtrip to lithuania with family and aunts family#following week went on a 3? day roadtrip to poland with coworkers AND FILMED THEIR ENGAGEMENT#i think after that i spent some time in a coastal town to see my cousin (from sweden)#and then her; my sister and me travelled to sweden (again for me!) to bring her back home and to give my sister her first travel with plane#then i got back and got into a phd programme.#broke my car; fixed it; gave it to my sister and bought a new car#buying a new car also was a fun trip with my engaged coworkers (but within country borders and lasted a day)#then my phd studies started and with it a new job#which i realized i should quit 2 weeks in lol#then the end of year was calmer. i did have small trips for like christmas tree igniting in a small town and#coworkers birthday party that was pretty fun#thinking back it really seems wild to me

i think game jams are a test of patience of how close you can get to snapping at someone
#'can you add this feature' no its due in 6 hours 'can you move these buttons around' im in the middle of doing something else#literally asked me to stop working on a feature that i was pretty much done programmint and then said 'we dont need it anyways :)'#our group's artist is legit driving me insane like do you want fries with that too?? want me to move the text 2px to the left??#just fucking download unity yourself and do it jfc we have a laundry list of like 10 other things to do#also in almost every game jam i've worked on where i'm programming with another (usually male) programmer-#-when i push something that is FINISHED and DONE occasionally i glance over it after a few more commits and-#-find that the other programmer has decided to completely restructure the code :) and it works exactly the same!#like that's rude right? that's fucking rude and i'm not just a crazy woman about it???????? to rewrite the work someone else ALREADY DID????

hi lovely humans
How many autistic programmers are over here?
I'd like to talk about how the autistic brain learns, particularly how it learns coding skills.
Furthermore, I know that this field is male-dominated but are any females that both code for living (of fun) and are autistic? I'd like to talk.
#shit#ok. and for being a brenda you talk even too much#man I love to talk to myself#isn't it funny?#no#you look like a crazy lady#not a lady#and I'm not crazy#my mother had me tested#kidding#emotional damage#autistic programmer#coding for autistic#how we learn?#neurodivergent#good omens#autism#neurodiversity#neurodivergence#autistic#who would have thought that the best part of a post is the tags?

@chellekumari said:
iirc, dark magic really was the very first concept for the show (specifically Ehasz's first idea), followed closely by the image of a dark mage showing his two children a spell + their very different reactions. idk why, but it's like the show is embarrassed by the fact that this family dynamic was the original emotional core of the series, and a pretty strong one at that.
i’m not really surprised about this. the magefam has so much more going on than the mains (it’s not even that i’m not interested in rayla/callum/ezran, they’re just not well-constructed and everything about them feels very focus-tested), and dark magic is so much more interesting than the vague handwaves they give primal magic, that everything else about the show feels like set dressing for the story they “really” wanted to tell. like visiting magic kingdom.
#'focus-testing' very much betraying my STEMlord programmer background#and i'm not saying that the other things are unimportant per say#but they're just so badly done#the characters' inability to reflect on the world that they're in in any way just takes a backseat to CRAZY FIC HIJINKS#and i like crazy fic hijinks! as much as i want to develop it i'm not very good at making art#they're fun to write! i like reading little cute fics about characters or whatever#but they require you to *already* be attached to these characters#it's not a good way to construct a story#and they can't consist of mostly fic-tier scenes#(fic-tier not really a judgement on the talent of the writer#but about the sort of scene construction where a character is minimally thrust into some action and everything is tied in a neat little bow)#me.txt#responses#tdp

i fully understand we dont need ultra perfect realism in games but there is a part of my brain. that really likes pretty graphics. there is a part of my brain that sees how raytracing is evolving and giggles in unbridled glee. i adore stylized games more than anything ever (my current favorite games are ultrakill, ffxiv, hollow knight, celeste, and rain world) but MAN.
#the JOY i felt witnessing the pre-rendered cutscenes in ffxvi.#because as a gamer i like stylized art. if i ever end up making a game alone itll probably be stylized. im not a 3d modeller.#im not even really a programmer yet#but as someone who is deeply interested in the marvels of technology and how far weve come. please give me the crazy graphics shit#that would tank a game's fps#show off your hair or your water physics or the individual blades of grass youve rendered#I LOVE WHEN GAMES LOOK GOOD. OKAY.#I LIKED ALL YHE DETAILS IN BG3 EVEN IF THEY MADE THE GAME 112 GB#i love seeing night city in ultra realistic graphics with ray tracing#i love watching a cutscene in ffxvi and being in awe at the amount of detail put into everything#do you know how often i went onto my discord to scream at my friends about how little clipping there was. in scenes where youd expect#ramblings#as a gamer i get the problem but as a tech guy. no no please keep making hyperrealistic graphics

highly considering going out and getting one of those giant foam egg pen grips to see if i can get used to working with one bc im tired of wearing compression gloves for repetitive stress in my hands
#m#i . may have early onset arthritis because it does run in the family#but either way i literally dont have any hobbies that dont require fine dexterous hand movements so.#should probably get even more serious about carpal tunnel prevention than just stretches and wrist brace#(my mom is a programmer and so she has a full ergonomic work desk setup for her arthritis. its crazy stuff out there)#and ive just noticed that my hands feel better when im using my mouse vs anything smaller so i think the foam egg may feel better in my gri

No more parallel canon angst Jim sees them and goes hell yeah Ive always wanted lil siblings
#rat rambles#oc posting#splat posting#jim is actually quite invested in memverse stuff much to their own surprise and that only increases over time#since they and mark are dating and live together jim joined mark in helping out with the off the hook world tour and as such jim was forced#to interact with these ppl for the first time and was fully expecting to hate them but actually ended up getting along with marnina after#they learned that shes a crazy good programmer since jim has been spending the past few years learning programming#this lead to marina mentoring her a bit and jim learned abt the memverse project early and got to be mildy involved#I say mildly because jim ultimately isnt That good at programming yet but it made for a good learning opportunity#the knowledge that it could help mark also contributed immensely to jims investment in the project#now she did have a bit of a freak out when things went wrong but everything worked out so she got over it mostly#seeing the fun new gaggle of digital second hand clones made for a great distraction for her as at first it was mostly just rly funny to#her that they even existed to begin with but after seeing that they actually did have at least some semblance of individuality she started#to rly give a shit abt the whole thing and became very interested in figuring out these guys deals and maybe handing them a fidget spinner#this does start to create a bit of a rift between jim and marina due to their tendency assuming the worst of ppl#they felt that smollusk was getting special treatment and that marina would never give a shit abt the others#meanwhile mark is sitting there and going idk dude have you tried. asking her abt it. and jim is like no Id rather die

tired of seeing that xz backdoor thing on my twitter... it was interesting at first and good to be aware of but somehow twitter for you page has decided it's the only topic i'm going to see for the next week -_-
#ended up in programmer/it twitter lol#i could just use the following tab but i usually don't mind the recommendations and i dont follow enough people there#kcat talks#for context: some linux thing had a backdoor worked into it slowly and they caught it bc one guy was microbenchmarking stuff#and noticed ssh stuff being .5 ms slow and using way too much processing power#so people are like 'woah thats crazy both that the exploit was there and that someone actually noticed it'#.5 sec not .5 ms lol
