Dunno why, but I think maybe some of the hololive Dreams writers (and/or proofreaders) might not be very knowledgeable about hololive or English in general.

hololive Dreams screenshot of a cutscene where Hakos Baelz, whose age is usually determined by a dice roll according to her own debut stream's lore, reacting with apparent surprise by exclaiming "How can someone's age be variable?!" to Houshou Marine (off screen). Ichijou Ririka is chuckling and smiling with her eyes closed in the same screenshot.

Hastily sketched and colored a Charizard to shake off some cobwebs. Gotta remember how the program and its tools work again, I didn't mean to have the watercolor brush actually function as one and blend colors the way it did, but eh.

Sketch of a Charizard seen head-on, the Pokémon is leaning forward and breathing out a small plume of flames in front of them.

Posting a few hololive Dreams screenshots because why not.

More holoDori screenshots, I guess, mostly to fill out the last remaining holomem alum I'd spotted but neglected taking a screenshot of. I'm always a little sad when the free talks that involve them don't trigger an accompanying achievement tracking their progress...

Sharing some holoDori screenshots just because. I wish I'd thought to get photos of some of the bugs I managed to spot. Apologies for the alt text not being as descriptive as it could be for all of these.

Cursed third option: Ditto-eye sized ears.

Lazy (and unfortunate) edit of the edited 'Ditto-wrong-Transform' Zubat images with the ears shrunken to Ditto-eye-size.

I'm rather sad that I might not be able to see this sight for much longer if I take option 3, especially after the brief effort it took to set up the new PSU (removing the old one was more of an ordeal).

The inside of an Antec Sonata III tower, showing an MSI Armor GeForce GTX 1060 OC video card awkwardly fitting onto an Intel DH55TC motherboard in spite of its size limit strongly implying it shouldn't.

I can't tell for sure if these are damaged and need replacing or not. Sigh.

Close up of a couple of cylindrical things on a DH55TC motherboard that may or may not have inflated due to heat damage, revealing a thick yellow substance peeking out from their tops. Also pictured: to much dust, more circuitry, and the exposed CPU with hardened and flaky thermal paste residue.

Adding alt text to the image, though I have no idea what the true source for the quote is.

What is one of the things you hear people say about drawing that fundamentally just isn't true?

The concept that you either can draw, or you can't. Children don't think like this, they just enjoy drawing, so they do it. Adults, however, sometimes say that they can't draw like it's a skill you're either born with, or without. Imagine if every musician on the planet had never picked up their first instrument because they couldn't already play it. You can draw. Drawing is making marks on a piece of paper. Improving at drawing is allowing yourself time to make those marks more often, and being patient with the process of building a new skill.

Lorenzo!

If someone knows how to make RetroArch not capture its own UI elements in screenshots and video, please help me out by letting me know where I go to change that. Anyway, I beat Shinryu again. Regular run instead of Onion this time. Unfortunately they share Crystal Dragon's shape, so...

A screenshot of Final Fantasy V Advance showing Shinryu prior to dissolving due to Lenna, as a Black Mage, casting Thundaga on the whole party (including Bartz as a Summoner, Krile as a Beastmaster, and Faris as a Samurai) to reflect four casts of it.

A follow-up screenshot of Final Fantasy V Advance where Shinryu's finishing dissolving, defeated by the party of Bartz as a Summoner, Lenna as a Black Mage, Krile as a Beastmaster, and Faris as a Samurai. Overlaid onto the screenshot is RetroArch's notification of the previous screenshot, which sort of helps prove this was Shinryu that was defeated and not a Crystal Dragon.

I don't know why it's so difficult to remain engaged in original artwork when I want to use it to advertise myself for commissions or the like. Here's an unfinished sketch that I'm going to side-step finishing because I just can't maintain the motivation. Maybe I'll feel better after groceries.

Unfinished lineart overlaid a simple sketch of someone using a relatively small firebreathing dragon as a soldering iron.

So my Onion run's completed. I unfortunately failed to screenshot Shinryu dissolving, as I wasn't expecting its death (I got it from an extremely weak little Thief Knife attack courtesy of Ranger Lenna).

A screenshot of the Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta site showing a completed Onion run started on the 7th of June 2025 at 7:20 PM, where the jobs Black Mage, Monk, Summoner, and Ranger were rolled.

Screenshot of Final Fantasy V for the Game Boy Advance showing Burtz as a Black Mage, Lenna as a Ranger, Krile as a Summoner, and Faris as a Monk celebrating their victory over Shinryu in the Interdimensional Rift, who is not pictured. Apparently it's the only encounter that rewards 100 ABP, so the text box showing it was captured as proof.

A screenshot of Final Fantasy V for the Game Boy Advance showing Bartz as a Black Mage, Lenna as a Ranger, Krile as an Old Summoner, and Faris as a Monk after they've dealt the finishing blow to Neo Exdeath. An overlay of RetroArch announcing the RetroAchievement for the Onion version of the related achievement is overlaid in the top-left corner of the screen.

I'd like it if it were possible to tell RetroArch to not capture RetroAchievement and other UI elements. Is that a setting somewhere in its menus? Or can they be set to appear off the games' window(s) so the user still gets notified without overlapping the game if not?

Screenshot of Final Fantasy V for the Game Boy Advance. Omega's begun to dissolve, Bartz and Faris have been Encircled off the player party's side, Krile (as a Ranger) is Silenced and about to gamble on whether or not her Dancer's Knife will let her dance, and Summoner Krile's just standing there after having cast Thundaga on both herself and Krile to reflect the spell back onto the mechanical weapon. An icon for the Retro Achievement of beating Omega is semi-transparent in the bottom right corner.

@rustylake.com Lowering every other player's chances to win the merch bundle a bit (assuming you can deliver to Mexico, otherwise feel free to pass me up). #TheMrRabbitMagicShow

Hey, could anyone throw some sketch commissions my way? I'm trying to get back into the swing of drawing, but I've never properly advertised.
