completely unrelated to all my recent Doom And Gloom:tm:, i wanna share some screenshots from a friends' minecraft server i've been on for a couple days now

It's me! Stonery! (flowery's face drawn into the side of a quarry, this was done by me because i was bored lol)

a cool ass bridge that flaire (flusteredev) built

The bottom of the quarry, which has a cherry blossom tree and the Enchanting Stonehenge (this area was built by zara (synthwavespirit))

Me and flaire's house!!! (built by flaire, i've just kinda been helping extract resources for it occasionally)

and of course, roblox's dogshit moderation can't let us appeal the false violation because they believe in ThE pOwEr oF Ai so hard that you can't even talk to an actual human or anything. it just keeps looping back to "yeah fuck you just go to the support page headass" and ISN'T HELPING AT ALL.

the Nippon Sharyo McI model took me and flaire like two months of on/off work along with usey's gangways which took a day or two iirc, and now it can't even be used for anything because roblox has decided to nuke the game it's made for. so that's Great.

and one last detail shot of my work: the coupler(s).

the coupler (again, but from a different angle)

120

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 05/09/2026

the gangways were like 99% made by @useydess.bsky.social and i touched them up a tiny bit

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 05/09/2026

oh yeah and the ladder up to the roof on both ends and the lights

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 05/09/2026

oh yeah, closeup of the candy wrapper logo because i spent like 6 hours on this (counting having to restart from scratch because i did it wrong at first)

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 05/09/2026

the only things on this that i didn't make are the gangway, painting/texturing (aside from logos/text, i did all the logos and text) and some small details like the roof vents and some touchups in other places

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 05/09/2026

i guess since all of my work is now completely worthless and can never get used i might as well show off what i've worked on in better detail, at least the stuff that i CAN share.

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 05/09/2026

oh ok. there goes the only project i was working on that was worth anything. thanks roblox for banning high iron over it having the ability to type in your FOV. what the actual fuck is your problem

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 01/09/2026

trying to get in the swing of things with Krita... oh my god i had no idea how much i NEEDED brushes with texture to them this would've taken like 9 millennia in pdn LOL

Well, there is a man here.

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 01/09/2026

ic ic... i shall give this a try at some point

020

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 01/09/2026

i should note: specifically for image editing. i'm gonna switch to Krita for drawing

...excluding gimp. i don't think i have enough years left on this planet to understand gimp

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 01/09/2026

just found out that at some point paint dot net updates became vibecoded. anyone have any good, non-AI and non-vibecoded alternatives?

IGNORE THE TYPO IN THE EMBED I SWEAR I DIDN'T FORGET TO CHANGE IT TO JUNE OOPS

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 12/07/2026

i think i'm not actually gonna combine may and june into two big ass episodes, and i'll just upload them one after the other instead... that sounds more accessible and betterer

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 12/07/2026

oh wait shoot i got my headphones back and completely forgot to do this LOL

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 12/07/2026

haiii hello i did the horns, bells, and plows :3

010

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 01/07/2026

i realize now that i completely forgot to mention that trackside recap is on hold for now, due to a lack of headphones i've gotta ship them out to get them repaired, and once they're fixed i'll make a big singular TSR episode with each month that's missing

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 16/06/2026

only just now realizing the BBLs half of the image still has the text from the rapido image i used to cobble together a template cab car oops

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 15/06/2026

well, we have a winner!!! i think this was probably the best outcome ngl i also refined it a little more, since the original concept kinda just.. didn't line up with anything on the cars??? which looked really odd. but hey now it's more good now

IndyGo livery, specifically the proposed "Indy Star (alt)" livery but refined a little. It's primarily blue, with yellow stripes accenting white stripes, and the Indianapolis flag's star-in-a-ball on the cab car and locomotive

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 14/06/2026

for the record: i was not actually sniffing highlighters for inspiration

030

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 14/06/2026

i made all 18 of these while waiting for my internet to come back online after a major storm that Demolished northwestern indiana a few days ago so some of these might seem like i was sniffing highlighters for inspiration

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 14/06/2026

strawpoll.com/05ZdzMx6En6 I have a Poll... which i would like some Answers on . . . this is for deciding on a livery to put on my fictional commuter railroad, IndyGo, which has no relation to the IRL bus company in the same region with the same name.. it's just a good name

a large list consisting of 18 hypothetical paint schemes for a fictional indianapolis-centric commuter railroad

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 06/06/2026

i'm glad 4547 broke down before it could get to Chicago, so they replaced it with NS 1776 (which is a much, much better candidate for a 250th train than The Epstein Express)

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 06/06/2026

update nevermind. being sad about life is loser shit. i just got back home from seeing two CN units street running in Warsaw, Indiana. oh yeah and also big boy near Claypool life is maybe good again :)

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

The internet stopped being alive in 2020. Covid killed fun. I hate being alive

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

And those Three Games are all Dogshit Cash Cow Slop Games so then you go to look for Anything Else To Enjoy On The Entire Internet and there’s just straight up NOTHING. IT’S ALL GONE.

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

Make the Entire platform Inaccessible to like 80% Of Their Playerbase by way of Enforcing Ice AI Face Recognition Slop on Everyone that Constantly gets things wrong Every Minute Of Its Existence so it’s genuinely safer to just Not Do That which then means you only have access to like Three Games

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

And as such i just have to Deal With the Internet being my Only source of Motivation to Keep Living which is Getting Exponentially Worse Every Day because Investors and Shareholders deem Everything should Only exist for Profit which leads to Shitfests like Roblox where they

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

Which then leads to me Only Going Out For Amtrak Anymore because that’s the Only reliable source of Interesting Trains here (and even then- that’s only like once a week at most,) because Everything Else is Extremely Unreliable, so i’m just Stuck at Home for the Rest of my Life,

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

Like. Literally Only heritage units or patchout units are an option anymore. If we’re not out for those then I’m Wasting Their Time,

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

Because if i start going out for Boring Ones then i start getting shot down every time i ask for them to take me, because they just start expecting things that they don’t deem Worth Going Out For. Which the ones they deem Worthy are Very Few Trains

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

The only times i CAN go outside are when my grandparents are available (only monday to thursday, and usually they’re busy anyway) or when my mom is available (only Saturday and Sunday) and, on top of that, only when some train that’s Interesting Enough To Them is in town

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

But alas, i can’t do shit about this because i live in Suburban Hell and do not have a drivers license. Even if i DID have a license, we don’t have a car i’d be allowed to use for going out anyway

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

It’s not like my life in the real world is any better, anyway. Sit around at home for the entire day for every day of the month Except For Maybe 6 Times Tops isn’t really cutting it

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

It’s not fun. It really isn’t

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

Do you have any idea how much of a nightmare it is to have a boss that constantly just Falls For It Again over Pretty Colors that then blames everyone for mistakes she herself has made and then verbally abuses everyone around her for no real reason other than to vent her own self-hatred?

120

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

My life is still better than it was a few years ago but man. Not By Much. The Nightmare Hellscape simply evolves to punish me for existing in new and innovative ways

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

Of how everything else in my life has been going. It’s just. Ugh. Everything sucks and i want everything to be over already

110

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 31/05/2026

Even said game has been halted because of how ass my life has been recently. I feel like crying more often than i feel like being creative because it never amounts to anything more than “wow i really did waste months on this!” because i never really like anything i do anymore, partially because
