Mom and me, talking NFTs and LLM art. Me talking from tech nerd perspective, her as art nerd.

Noticed that #Aseprite has symmetry tools now.

Decided it’s a good day to learn how to draw things with Aseprite.

@lmorchard I was just telling @IamMrsGeek that at the time I kinda thought it was punk, but my ear’s better-educated now and files it as jazz.

@lmorchard jazz kinda is punk if you do it right.

@jalefkowit That is also your curse.

@jalefkowit it would’ve been weird if you had.

Prioritizing whiteboard app subscriptions: Heptabase and Scrintal are out, as I don’t use them enough to justify maintaining a subscription.

Kinopio stays because it’s fun, and handy for dropping links and arranging small thoughts that can become big thoughts elsewhere.

BTW Scrintal made it sufficiently challenging to cancel my subscription that a chat with credit card’s fraud prevention was involved.

There may be a link, phone number, or mailing address I missed, but there sure wasn’t a big “DO NOT RENEW” button next to subscription info.

Getting a $12.86 payout on Stripe and I don’t know what the heck for. Log into Stripe first time on this device, last transaction was a payout a couple years ago, about the same amount oh here it is, LibrePay.

Approximately fourteen cents per month adds up to almost enough for two coffees after two years.

That’s right! I’m monetized baby!

new in 1.20: rideable elks, sailboats, beehive kilns, insects, decent critter animations, decent audio effects, etc

It’s becoming more of a stretch to describe Vintage Story as “basically heavily modded Minecraft”

I suck so bad at this game. It’s fun. Try it! You too can enjoy the thrill of dying alone, starving and cold in the dark!
