It's been a second, I tried my best with Arch, but I decided that because I want to be streaming I shoukd cut my losses and switch, so I'm going over to Debian. Still gonna use the I3WM because it's great. Pretty nerve-wracking to wait to the root partition to format for the insstallation, I could've sworn fdisk did this faster, but then Debian is going and filling it with zeros so I guess it's a slower process. I'm hoping to have fewer issues, I was going to choose Ubuntu since that seems to be what a lot of things are built for but a friend reccommended Debian bc it's lighter, and personally I liked that, and I'm not too picky as long as it's a bit easier than Arch. I almost had Arch, but I'd mesesed something up so that it was freezing and stuff was crashing sometimes when I wanted to stream, and bc I'm not very smart I coulldn't fix it. Really hoping thay I got all the backups I need.
I'm still sick, definitely, but better enough to start catching up on homework.
Not that I want to do homework...
Anyway I'm interested in GGST's 3v3 mode, hopefully my arch setup will be ready to do that with some friends today, I'm still a bit worried thag I haven't set up security well enough, and Bluetooth isn't *quite* working yet, but it'll all be sorted out soon enough.
very sick :(
Also, I've been working on setting up Arch Linux, its been interesting and also a challenge, haven't figured out how to get obs screencapture working so I haven't been able to stream which really sucks.
I'm nervous about these election results so far :(
Today I wore my ears and tail to school, halloween is a convenient excuse for that! I've been wearing my ears with my friends more anyway, but the tail was fun. I'd love to have a real tail :3
Anyway my english paper is going well! And I've been making good progress on my reference sheet for the 3d model I'm going to make. Overall unless I'm forgetting something big I think things are going well!
I was going to make this a "feels" addition but I think it's too long- what I want to do with the page next is make it so that all posts get separated based on the month and year they were made, with one webpage for each of them, and the more of this I could do automatically the better. I should also fix the timezone thing with python, since it just takes the timezone of town's server rather than mine I'm pretty sure, and that can sometimes make it so that the post is on the wrong day. Not a huge thing, I'll get around to it. I also added echo and nebula to a little "friends" section because they're some of the people I know and like here, I'm also going to add acdw before I forget since they're cool too. Overall I'm starting to be a little happier with the look of my site. After all that I also want to get a better text editor for these posts, because you might've noticed but I have to use
html
linebreaks and other text formatting at the moment which is inconvenient so I usually just don't. It's a lot to think about, I'm sure everything will get done eventually, I'm still doing my catgirl maid things, meow meow :3
The more time that passes the sooner I hope my teeth are healed enough for solid foods... I wanna eat sausage, hamburger, hearty stuff like that. I should see about a soup of some kind, that'd probably work. Today in Calculus I'm hoping I understood everything, I was distracted texting this person who doesn't have time to talk to me as often as I'd like (well, two people, one of them still hasn't responded from like a week ago to give you an idea) and I'm always excited to talk so I try to get as much as I can when I can lol. Anyway yeah today is nice, I'm starting to wonder if I could find a way to make my posts into objects or something a bit more clever than what I'm currently doing, I don't think I want every post to be its own page, but if I could find a way to display them and stuff that's more intelligent that'd be nice. I also got some cute new underwear that I was planning on talking about over on bluesky, but as it turns out it's from a kink site (that was not clear to me at first lol) so I'm gonna have to block out some logos first. I was a bit iffy about it bc underwear is sort of a taboo topic? Really though, it's just clothes, and I think that there's nothing wrong with talking about clothes I like.
I've been mostly keeping up watering my little plant when I log in, I ought to look more at the bbj and irc, but I've got some things to do. Been working on a reference sheet, or trying to, I'm learning anatomy but I prefer to learn by doing so that's what the plan is. Hopefully all that works out. Maid 4 U is going well too, I think, they're all so nice and smart!
Wisdom teeth are sooooo yesterday. Got mine removed this morning. Not as bad as I expected! The whole thing took about an hour give or take. They were very nice as well, doing their best to distract me from the needles (I have real bad needle anxiety lol) and it worked pretty well, right now I'm just sitting with a blanket and trying not too think about the English paper I have to write haha. Excited for the pudding though! Made sure to get plenty of it and theres chocolate and vanilla, super fun. In other onews it sucks having to restart my 3d modelling, I'm such an amateur that I couldn't tell that the proportions were all off, I got two opinions on it becauseI really didn't want to and learning anatomy is so hard...
I feel pretty cool, being able to make this post from my phone, though i wish i had been able to bring my bluetooth keyboard because that would have been much more convenient. Still, today is going good, coming back to school after that break wasnt as rough as I had expected, though I didnt have time to shower, and I forgot to bring lunch, so its not all good. My girlfriend is the best ever, sometimes i have doubts but they melt away being with her because shes the cutest, sweetest, most wonderful puppygirl there is. Tonight I speedrun Celeste again, ive been getting better at getting sub-hour runs, which means ill need to look into the sub-50 and lower routing because it changes and gets more difficult. I think i can do it though, my end goal is to get into the top 200 pspeedrunners, but thats around 30 minutes, and its much closer to world record than i expected. Currently in the 3,900 to 4,000 range in my placement.
I have high expectations for today, I need to do some homework- and, by the way, school is stressful, I have to choose between the college my parents recommend and the college I think I can handle, right now I'm at a community college for my area's two years free program- I'd been putting off this homework all week because we had a break, and I wanted to take my mind off it, but honestly I'm happy I didn't end up forgetting it because that wouldn't have been good. I always have this feeling that I'm running behind and I probably am, I have no idea what I'm doing and I miss the old days when schools couldn't assign you work over the internet, because it's harder to keep track of and I don't like it. Hopefully it still ends up alright. I've been meaning to write in my meatspace journal more, I had a couple years uninterrupted but then I started streaming and because it's so late I forget, and I like writing in my journal so I'd like to get back into the habit.
I'm just a little curious to see how my code reacts to this, I'm not the best programmer but I'd like to add some cute 88x31 buttons to the bottom of my page and I wonder if it's as easy as I think it is- There's a chance, though, that my Add Post script will just remove it, which is why I'm making this short test post to see what happens because I forgot how I set it up and I'm too lazy to check haha. Oh, also, I'm getting my wisdon teeth removed soonish, not really looking forward to that, but it's better than letting them mess with my mouth however they want. I'll show those teeth what happens to the ones who mess with my mouth (without permission)!
Having a good day today! I had to wake up a bit early in order to have a meeting with the members of Maid 4 U, a meeting which went wonderfully, we all were able to make it there, it went super well. It wasn't even that early for me, really. Been making progress on my art, and my 3d modelling, and I streamed Palia for the first time yesterday, thinking about doing it again today.
Finally, I'm back in! I set a passcode for my private key, thought I wrote it down, but I realized I hadn't when my computer restarted haha.
Well, lots has been happening! I don't think the semester had even started when I last posted, which is crazy, and I don't think I've had the chance to talk about the computer issue I had-
basically, I tried deleting something big, might've accidentally deleted a bit more than intended, initramfs couldn't exactly fix it but I could luckily save my important files to my external
drive and reinstall the OS. I also started using the I3 Window Manager, which has been fun, my cursor is hatsune miku, my lockscreen is a looping video of Bridget from GGST walking through some environments, it's very fun! Streaming has been going super well, just reached 250 followers (check it out here), and I've been working with a small group of people to make a VTuber group called "Maid 4 U" since we're all maids, it's super fun and they're all great people. I've also been working on making a brand new VTuber model completely from scratch, doing all the modelling, topology, sculpting, rigging, animating, texturing, everything I need to make something work, I'm super excited. Right now I'm finishing the retopology on the head and hair, then I should be able to either start rigging or texturing, the order shouldn't matter too much, either way progress is great. Hoping to continue talking to awesome people here and making new friends and stuff! <3
Spent pretty much allllll day with my girlfriend, she's real nice, we had lunch at the local fast food place then walked to the park. I'm gonna continue my nuzlocke soon on stream, which is fun, though if I could have changed one thing about today it would have been to make those timezone edits to my posting program. Eventually I might make each post more like its own page, then embed them on the main page, which would make for much easier browsing, but I dunno if that's necessarily a good idea with how short each post has been so far. If there was a couple paragraphs, maybe, if I regularly included an image, sure, but for now this seems easiest.
Ok so two things really fast. First, I see that the dates on my posts needs a timestamp and also I need to correct the timezone. I'm pretty sure town is at UTC 0? Either way, it's a ways off, and it made it appear like one post from yesterday was from today because of the date stuffs. An easy enough fix, I'll get around to it.
The second thing is that I found a tracker for my vtubing that so far works super well, XR Animator, it's been real good so far. I think I will want to remake my default model somewhat, have it look as nice as I can possibly get.
Being a vtuber isn't really as easy as it might seem. Especially on Linux. I've had more than my fair share of errors and technical difficulties, and right now I'm trying to find a better software because VSeeFace has worked well enough so far but I'd really like to use something better. You can't change the background color in VSeeFace, so it's best to chromakey it out, but matching colors on your model will also dissapear.
I was trying to get Warudo from Steam to work, because their Proton tools usually work pretty well, but I couldn't get the webcam to work (and other Linux users report the same) and the built-in OpenSeeFace tracker doesn't work, it won't use my version of OpenSeeFace instead, and the best thing I could find about it online was to use VMC to send data from VSeeFace to Warudo, but despite seemingly following them exactly something still won't work. VNyan doesn't work either, throws a couple errors and crashes. So I might be stuck just using VSeeFace, like I have been the last couple months, but I'm still trying to find something better.
Probably a shorter post today? I'm going to be labbing stuff in Guilty Gear Strive later on stream, but for now I want to keep playing MTG Arena because I made a small Rat Colony / Nazgul thing and I like it. Really the Nazgul are there because I wanted a little variety, and there's other stuff too, but I only want to play Rat Colony. If it did't cost like $4 per copy I'd single handedly buy them all because I just really like the rats. I would play IRL except it's expensive...
Anyway I really like my girlfriend, we're gay :)
Alright! That test told me everything I think I need to know. Nobody would have seen what happened because I fixed it so I'll tell you. Basically, I only added the comment that Python reads in my VSCode copy, since I'm silly and don't have them synced or anything, and so the new post defaulted to line 0. I also learned that, yes, I can put whatever HTML I want in this and it'll work easily. I think the next step, should I feel like taking it, is to make it better. lol. By that I mean have the python open up nano or another text editor so I can write things with a little more freedom than what I have now, which is just the terminal. I don't think there's a worry about other people editing my posts, I probably will end up moving this python file to my private folder eventually, but as far as I know I'm the only one who's able to run this file except for like, the town's root user I guess.
So, what have I been up to? I was playing on ~nebula's modded minecraft server that they've shared with the townies, it's been pretty fun! I'm gonna play on it more today lol. It's Valhelsia 6 I believe, it's got a ton of stuff for me to do, I've been trying to set up a MineColonies thing so that I don't have to explore the nether as much haha. It's been slow going. I also forgot to water my town botany plant yesterday! Shocking! Luckily, it doesn't die until you miss 5 days. Very good for me.
Ok, this is the big test- I wrote a really simple python code that just edits my index.html file and adds whatever I write here as a new post. In the future I'd like to make it fancier, because this doesn't include any of the line break things I was using previously, but now is actually a good time to experiment, because this text should basically be going directly into HTML (I'll do better in the future, probably) so a line break might be as simple
as this? we'll have to see if that worked. Anyway the python is super simple, I just added a unique comment into the HTML file, the python finds that, and adds the post with the tags I use, I'm pretty sure it'll work. Let's see!
I don't have a whole lot to add today, spent time at my girlfriend's house, played around with the
town's rougelike ("Crawl" I believe it's called) which is fun, I have the original Rogue on Steam
funny enough, so I'm not 100% clueless as to how they're played. It seems to allow you to watch
someone else's run while they're doing it which is interesting. I'm going to start a Pokemon
Nuzlocke on stream soon, which is super exciting! The plan is to do it and then spend time animating
something based on how it went, so I get to really develop a story around the run, which I think is
super neat.
I also really love the Botany game we have here on town, I'm going to see if there's a way I can
link my plant to this page so y'all can see it too :)
Well I'm already seeing how my lack of HTML knowledge results in some stuff that would probably make
my dad shake his head in dissapointment, for example each one of these posts has this neat little
background that I made in CSS, right? Well for each post it's structured like this:
div class blog
div id posts
date of post (in h4)
content of post (in paragraph)
and this makes enough sense, yeah, until, when I go to make this second post, I realize that
I need to replicate this format for every post I make, rather than just adding another post to the
inside of the "posts" div, which is kinda what I had wanted. But it's alright! I don't need a super
fancy system. I'm alright letting it be this manual an janky... for now.
Eventually, though? This is gonna be so fancy.
I'm super excited to be here!
It was less than two months ago that I got reccomended to tilde.town after mentioning that I wished
there was some kind of social media that functioned... exactly like this!
Well, shows what I know, it's already a thing. I couldn've gone for just about any pubnix--
learning the word "pubnix" to describe places like this was also super cool--
but I decided to go with tilde.town because I heard it was pretty queer, and as a trans girl
myself I thought it'd be swagalicious! I've been meaning to get better at HTML anyway, and what
better way than decorating my page on this wonderful site? :D
I'm really enjoying learning how to do all these fun CSS modifications, too!
