Usually I'd just watch the show, but I'm really starting to appreciate the little details that get scrapped for the adaptation. I'm also really impatient and want to catch up with the latest plot, so to that end I just finished Slime's WN.

Part of me loves it because it sounds like so many of my favourites, La Niña Blanca by Vienna Ditto in particular.... but part of me also loves the whole "hidden gem" aspect of finding a good song from a small local band.

Though, I'm unhappy that they decided to use Snapdragon processors in Canada this time around, because the bootloader is locked, negating the benefits of Treble...

- Trick Esc: SHIFT+ESC=`
- MO(1): Press and hold for layer 1 (similar to the function key in other 60%s)
- MO(2): Press and hold for layer 2
- NO: Ignore this key, typically used in layout with a split key – I will make sure that the key is not in use when keys are not split.
- MO(1)+Q,W,E,R,T,Y,U,I: RGB underglow controls – Q: on/off, W: change pattern, ER: add/subtract color, TY: add/subtract saturation, UI: brightness controls
- MO(1)+CVBN: Backlight controls – V: on/off, C: brightness down, B: brightness up, N: breathing control
- MO(1)+Backspace: DEL
- MO(1)+Comma(,), Period(.): Volume down/up
- MO(1)+: RESET, enter bootloader mode
- MO(1)+Numbers [1,2,3,…0], +, -: F1-F12

The modes are used to select different shortcuts for configuring the keyboard, or compensating for the buttons you lose compared to a full size layout (like F1).

Taking the time to consider my thoughts and feelings has really grounded me and made me a more mature, considerate person... But it also caused me to develop a pervasive paranoia, as I believed every question needed a satisfying answer no matter how trivial it was. Fighting these invasive thoughts really makes me anxious, but I value the introspection aspect too much to drop it completely.
Basically, I kept thinking my rumination was the same as introspection and eventually put too much faith into the process. Now that I know the issue, I'm basically going through an identity crisis trying to figure out what should happen next.

It looks really good at max brightness with a slow, rainbow swirl: that's actually what I used for the picture....They do! Aside from the standard solid colours, there's a full list of effects too.

Sorry about the lighting, a lot of the detail was lost for the dark shot. These are just Ducky One RGB keycaps from a full ANSI model, they were already laying around and I didn't want to buy new ones until everything was working. They do have transparent letters, and the super key is just a Windows Icon (which is annoying, because it's Mode(1) with the QMK software).

It actually started out as an impulse buy after /u/hungariantoast told me about some cheap, defective switches. Ended up shaving off the nubs so they didn't crack my keycaps and then soldered it all together. Overall, they feel absolutely amazing but there's no way I could game with these and not cripple myself.
These are the parts used:
- DZ60 (mini USB) PCB
- Kailh BOX Navy switches
- Old Ducky One keycaps
- Kbdfans acrylic case

Comment on Jack Stauber – Pumpkin Song (2018) in ~music

Love the song you shared, really satisfying for a kinda niche interest and it sounds great.
And yeah, his videos can be a bit strange. He posted another great one a few days ago called Nurpo that's just a weird little jingle, but Lima Bean Man is something else completely...

Comment on Steam developers speak: Maximum profits for Valve, minimum responsibilities in ~games

Valve can do as they please, but that doesn't mean they're immune to backlash.
You also can't forget that disgruntled developers can weaponize social media and fuel the narrative against platform hegemony...

Comment on The growing case for an elusive ninth planet: Astronomers have found another quirky object that suggests a giant body lurks at the fringes of the solar system in ~space

There isn't much evidence for the presence of a new planet, and it's instead one potential explanation to various gravitational anomalies. We shouldn't jump to conclusions until there's enough evidence to substantiate such a bold claim, especially in light of other theories--one having been mentioned only a few paragraphs in. Stating that "astronomers wish to add a new ninth planet" is pretty disingenuous.

Comment on Unnamed creature, inspired by Silent Hill in ~creative

This one is arguably the lamest, but I always loved the Armless Man from the first Silent Hill movie and it was fun trying to emulate the aesthetic. Didn't really know how to draw, so I exported the ambient occlusion results and applied filters through Paint.NET for an interesting (read: ugly) texture.
I'd been looking for music in the same veins as Jack Stauber and somebody recommended this to me. Attic Ted has some similar stuff for those interested (Parade Dust Mischief is a great album). I'd love some suggestions if anybody's familiar with a comparable artist.
