#ask a computer nerd

I know I already posted this drawing once before but it bothered my SOUL because imo the rendering is so nice like I cooked so hard w it but their faces looked so fucking weird to me and I just needed to fix it up a little (also my Will design changed a bit)

Og under the cut....(Jumpscare warning)⬇️

I can't describe the relief I feel now that I can appreciate the top tier rendering that I did without feeling horror at looking like their faces

Like Nico WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?? he is directly behind you idc how far you turn your eyeballs you are not going to be able to see him!!!

What pride flag is this?

I feel like this one would be better answered by like @foone or someone. That said, looks like the autistic retro nerd ace flag to me.

[vitch-with-v]

Hi Tumblr! Yet another robot trans girl here [vtuber flavored] to bring to you a weird habit I [retrace] have! I like to write poetry in hexadecimal as a way to keep practice with translating it. Why hexadecimal? Why make sure that that's a thing that I do despite no real practical reason for me to know how to do it? IDK just felt like it. Do you want some examples? Well you're getting em anyway!

This was one of the first I did and I'm quite proud of it! I was re-reading Moby Dick and playing Library of Ruina [very good game] when I just kinda decided I would do this and it has become a regular practice for me though I only recently started sharing them [good Segway for the second one I'm sharing here and the 6th I wrote]

This one is a bit dramatic I know but this was written not too long after I realized I had an easier time expressing myself when I wrote in hexadecimal! As odd as it is it really worked for me so I ran with it as a venting strategy. I know there's probably some psychological analysis you can do about me actively encrypting my complaints and frustration but I don't really have the time to do that analysis right now...

Anyway you may have noticed the weird comma placement and that was very intentional as this was intended to have rhythm to it like spoken word poetry [or rap] and I thought that was a neat detail to highlight!

What I find so interesting about this is the way it came about... I didn't tell myself I had to do it, didn't provide insensitive, and didn't even know this was a thing I could do! I just kinda did it and I think in a way it makes me feel more confident in myself! There's something so psychologically pleasing about just kinda doing something without any real reason or goal in mind moreso to just do and I think the idea isn't normalized enough. It truly helps with my anxiety in a very big way.

What sparklecare char is most like fan. IMPORTANT.

Chat I accidentally got a virus on my computer trying to illegally download Lovejoy music, what do I do?

[icteridcorvid]

also I got stuck working on my neocities because I have an image overlapping the text like this

and I can't figure out how to fix it.

I tried adding this into my css to see if just shrinking it would work and it didn't do anything :( it didn't even shrink the image like I thought I would so I'm wondering if I did something wrong

Trick or Treat! - From Steve the Skeleton

HI STEVE I LOVE YOU STEVE

you get an old scrap of linguistics homework :)

[gaydivorcetual]

I love Koro. computer filled w/ flesh

[spocksgotemotions]

lately all I wanna do is just text my friend about the lovely life we’re gonna have and how much I love them. But I don’t do that cause I don’t wanna be Weird. And also I think I’m gonna be afraid that they don’t actually wanna live with me until we like actually live together. Honestly probably after that too

[mathsbian]

Favorite genre of math?

I’m a huge slut for number theory. There’s so much cool shit there.

Non-Euclidean Geometry was also super interesting.

And with my computer science degree as well, I of course really like Computational Theory, which is right on the line between math and computer science.

[prosecutor-skye]

do you have a love language?

Well, I don’t like to introspect, but I have several, it seems.

First of all, I’ve always been an advocate for words of affirmation — particularly in the workplace. I like to ensure my colleagues are confident in their own abilities.

Acts of service… hm. I do like to make myself useful to people. I would say that it’s one of my more prominent traits. As for gift-giving… a substantial amount of my salary did used to go towards various lab supplies for Ema when she was younger, but that was more of a… behavioural bribe situation.

Physical affection is generally reserved for those closest to me. It… isn’t exactly befitting of my image to admit this, but… holding Ema in my arms is when I’m at my happiest.

And… quality time is a rare luxury these days, I’m afraid.
