adulthood is reviewing my home security camera footage and reflexively saying "kitty" whenever there's a kitty

Looks like we're doing #introductions again for some reason? Okay!

Hi I'm fluffy, local nonbinary trans gal curmudgeon whomst loves to yell at the cloud. Somehow I'm still a software engineer despite my best efforts otherwise. I live in a small town just outside Seattle with two lovely kitties. I talk a lot about mental health, chronic pain, and technology.

I make a lot of things for fun and you can see most of them at https://beesbuzz.biz/ and htpts://fluffy.itch.io and such.

#introduction

Mother, why must you imprison me in this cage? I yearn to be free, to run outside like my wild brethren, not to waste away within this hideous structure of artifice. Please, mother, I deserve to cross this threshold, to go outside.

[30 seconds later]

Mother, why have you abandoned me in the cruel, uncaring wildnerness? Why have you forsaken me? Please, I am dying in the cold, and under the piercing judgement of the crows who taunt me so.

whoops, @lofibeats wasn’t running because I forgot to reinstall its Poetry environment after reinstalling Python on my server a couple weeks ago. Chill random weirdness should resume shortly.

Was actually thinking of this while watching the movie but uh. Temporal dilation means that everyone on the planet should have been able to watch Buzz come home, just... very slowly.

Much later thought: if their hyperspeed follows the laws of Lorentz contraction, then how can Star Command work in any practical way?

I went down the memory hole today and found some vintage (as in, mid-90s) furry erotica which had a huge influence on me.

This wasn't what started my multibreast affection but it sure didn't hurt it.

Today I learned that there have been only 12 Rin Tin Tins since 1918.

We are soon to be on the 14th Doctor Who since 1963.

Clearly it's much more dangerous to be a Doctor Who than a Rin Tin Tin.

My VR setup works again, yay. Also tried out both KinectToVR and OwOtrack with VRChat, and neither gave me a sufficiently good experience to be worth the annoyance of the initial setup. Hopefully SlimeVR works better and doesn't take TOO long to ship!

oh good, you can disable comment reply notifications without disabling toplevel video comments

I ought to just stop participating in youtube comments. no good ever comes of them, even on my own videos (see, for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uXX4zzTej0)

YouTube comments are such a garbage fire

well okay he's also responsible for Pixar being so focused on the Cars franchise because he loved the character of 'Mater so much

what did Lasseter even do on Toy Story? I always got the impression that he was just kept around because he was one of the founders of Pixar and he made very few actual contributions to their movies

Like he wrote a formative paper about the need for squash and stretch in CG but like. that was pretty much his entire contribution to the field of CG animation as far as I'm aware

also apparently the movie is pretty awful

Like, "how can we cash in on the fact the movie was produced by John Lasseter without having to admit that John Lasseter was involved in any way?"

It's funny how all of the marketing around Luck says "From the creative visionary behind Toy Story" but they go out of their way to hide the fact that said visionary is John Lasseter

found a great roundup of VR modeling apps to try out. many are even free. https://all3dp.com/2/3d-modeling-vr-software-tool/

well also being in severe pain puts a damper on that too

I should finally have my fully working VR rig again tomorrow, yay

I've missed playing Beat Saber and also I want to start working on my VR gallery again. Which I technically could have been doing but it's hard to find motivation to do that when I can't incrementally test it as I go.
