Less than a week until New Furizons! I'm gonna be DJing Happy Hardcore!
@OfficialNewFurizons for more info! It's gonna be BANGING!
Quick morning coffee break toot... the 2.5x #OlympusBH #OlympusBHM projection eyepiece arrived this morning. This is just a quick demo to show the increased field of view ... and apparently improved image quality. The 3.3x may need cleaning - or possibly the camera doesn't like the lurid purple the DIC/NIC filters create at full saturation.
rant about energy prices
I'm still pretty angry that I'm paying almost 30p per kWh of electricity in 2023.
Back in 2008 it was 4.16p per kWh. Today we pay over six times as much as we used to. Even the highest spike in the past
And the only way to offset that now is to run solar, if you can afford to install it.
The stereotype is that most people end up trending more conservative as they get older, but things like this are make me go even further leftward.
JPEG XL is superior to JPEG, PNG, GIF and WEBP and it still got shunned to death by Google because Google wants WEBM and WEBP to succeed, while claiming its "because jpeg xl doesnt provide enough benefits" like what???? It literally does lossless compression better than PNG and does animations more efficiently than GIF and WEBP???? God I hate google so much

The UK is going to ban 'XL bully' dog breeds. But the problem with those dogs isn't with the breed itself; it's with people who get them purely as a status symbol. The kind of person who gets a status dog isn't the kind of person who will train their dog properly. If they can't get an XL bully, they'll get a different "well 'ard" dog, such as a rottweiler, German shepherd or doberman - and then we'll see an increase in attacks from those breeds.
One thing that has distracted me from art lately is making my own set of #SlimeVR trackers for #vrchat
It was a fun little challenge and I'd been itching to do an electronics thing for some time.
Raw material cost came out at about £170: not counting labour time, frying £20 worth of components, and the extra tools I had to buy. But this is compared to a base station setup which would set me back £600 as I don't have lighthouses.
In VRC they do well enough. Once you have the mounting calibration down, their position is close enough, but they're not gonna be pinpoint accurate like Vive/Tundras. Especially if you're doing funky rotation heavy poses like that leg stretch pose.
@huskyteer Happy birthday! <3
Stream in just under an hour - trying not to be dead... by daylight (see what I did there)
I got something rather cool today, some pyjamas for Samé so I can wear something while I'm suiting or just relaxing at home. Thanks to Heartglow_Roo for the design of this. I highly recommend them for fursona PJ commissions!
Hmm, I wonder if I link my Steam curator page will it get buried like on twitter? Only one way to find out I guess!
Follow my page, the games I recommend will show up on the Steam front page for you. Leaning more towards indie, and I don't promote games with predatory monetization.
