I made this last night. It looks like hell, but it's reaaaaaally good. I was too stoned to fight it into the pan. it's an adulterated rice krispy treat, lol. chocolate rice krispies and reeses puffs browned butter marshmallow peanut butter dark chocolate ganache dotted with chopped up reeses cups

I need some retail therapy, who wants to draw the updated snep? :P

Wanted to do some updates to the snep's look. New clothes, glasses, hair/ponytail, and teefs. I enlisted @teaselbone.bsky.social to show off the new style with me, the "can't close our shirts around our guts" club.

I'm actually really surprised at how natural this feels. All the actuator profiles are taken into account in the joints for the modeling, so this is moving about the speed it should be able to when built (in a perfect world). This was just me looking around for minute idly at nothing in particular.

This is some face tracking fuckery because I can't build anything physical yet, but I wanted to see it move. :P (Also, ignore the part floating in the mouth, lol). Still a lot of calibration to do. The head tracking is a hacky inside-out mess from the face cam for now, that's why it's janky.

What in the fuck is the "lasagna with meat sauce standard" and how is the requirement enforced? Is someone going to come dig through my slice of lasagna to check?

I gave 12+ years of my life and at least $30k+ in equipment keeping FA alive. You can give $5. I know I'm not really a part of the 'fandom' as a whole anymore, but @sciggles.com and everyone running things now work their asses off to keep the community alive. Don't let our legacy die.

Neer sent me this message not long before he passed, and I think about it a lot. It really does make me proud to have been a part of it. Share in that pride and do what you can. I've seen so many people say they didn't know how/that they could contribute. Just spreading the word is a big help.

I decided I wasn't happy with the eyebrows only having one axis to move (up/down), so I decided to make my life even more hell later when assembling this by cramming 2 more actuators in for roll on each. Worth it, though. It's so much more expressive now.

I've hit a point with this I think I'm happy sharing some progress. This will be in conjunction to a head mounted facial tracker I'm building to puppet it. Nowhere near finished yet, still half illustrative for now. This is the kind of shit I do to distract myself from the world.

"flavored triangles"? Are these not legally allowed to be called chips or something? What aren't they telling me. I have never seen "flavored triangles" to refer to a tortilla chip before, at least outside something "for the memes".

I feel like I've just lost the ability to find joy in anything anymore. the motions are mechanical but a gear stripped somewhere. I always try and do nice shit for other people, because it made me feel better, but even that just feels hollow and unappreciated, it's no ones fault but my own.

I love that i have to keep in the back of my mind what I need to redact/remove from this research/reverse engineering I've been doing on this printer just so I can use the ink /I/ choose to, because it might be some legal shit... DMCA, Patent/Trade secret infringement, CFAA, and breach of contract.

Donald Trumps long time teleprompter operator is being accused of making more than 100k off bets on Kalshi on what he would or wouldn't say, and I think that is the most patriotic thing I have ever heard.
