There is an individual I've known for at least 15 years with whom we've gone through multiple falling outs. Last one was a few months ago. Always tempted to un-block the person. But I am tired of the cycle. Not soliciting advice, sort of publicly journaling I suppose.

"Vague posting," but I have found in my days an inverse correlation between how much a community claims to be "welcoming" and how welcoming it actually is. There is a profound amount of tone policing in "welcoming" places that subsequently results in everyone being extremely passive aggressive.

I finally found a job! But the software the company does is kind of sleazy... Beggars cannot be choosers though. Will have to make due until I find something a bit more fulfilling. Til then, at least the bills will get paid.

some of you animals wont be happy until your favorite proto-post-ironic punk funk chunk emo screamo fusion greegle band that your sharpie huffer brother played for you before he got kicked out of the house gets a 9.8 Pitchfork review

Got yet another rejection letter today despite having a referral. When a good resume and a referral from a technical lead doesn't even get me an interview with a company, I wonder what the fuck I DO need to do.

Okay starting by being self reflective and realizing "I don't actually enjoy seeing this" and politely un-following certain creators. I feel bad, because it feels like a personal judgement against them. But it is not.

As much as I love the iconic curved wickerbeast horns, I opted for simpler horns (and one broken, poor boy) for my new wickerbeast. I just wanted to spice it up. And also removing some tail fluff to make him a "standard" rather than the practically-default king subspecies.

It gets 300fps at Valve Index resolution, and 60fps at Varjo XR-4 resolution on my 3090 using Unity's editor window. I don't want to preemptively optimize much. I will see how it fares in an actual VR world, first. I can easily double performance by turning up the step size, so I'm not worried.

You are up to date.
