iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Awhile back whenever I would open a YT video on their mobile app, all the info below the vid would disappear. No way to get it back. So if it was a new creator I wanted to follow, I had to pause and screenshot the video so I could title search. Which also doesn't work anymore. Mostly.

Was forced to upload proof of my renter's insurance to some third party thing. 2 times it rejected my pdf. On the 3rd it accepted, but said someone would have to review the policy because it looked like I didn't have the correct amount of liability insurance. They required 100k. I have 300k.

Everything is like this now. Just a little broken. Sometimes in an unusable way. I drafted this post last month and they still haven't fixed it lol

Screenshot showing a 'share content' menu bar within the Instagram app. The bar is a series of circular buttons, from left to right the buttons are: Share, Copy link, Add to story, SMS, WhatsApp, and WhatsApp Status. The 4 buttons to the left are raised higher than the 2 buttons on the right. There is inconsistent spacing between buttons.

Per project! That's an interesting idea. If you have a lot of projects, I wonder if that'd lower the time needed for you to get reacquainted with one. Also that final result is siiick!

Yeah - the ones I saw people completely customized themselves.

Still not gonna update my blender ui tho. that's too much.

I admire people who do things like fully customize their Blender interface. Saw one the other day that was all pink/pastels. I don't have the energy. Dark mode at most. But I wanna be more like those people who make their things uniquely special to them. Think it'd up my quality of life.

I grew up in an environment where everyone just kept the peace, and that allowed all kinds of fucked up shit to go on. So I don't think I wanna change. I wanna find the people who will value what I have to say. And who actually care instead of just care about keeping a clean image.

I try really, really hard to help people when I think I know something they don't. But so often I don't actually have valuable information. They know exactly what they're doing. It's intentional. And once again, I've figured that out too late.

Yeah - Loish has been a prolific and well-respected artist online since I was a kid. Before any modern social media existed. She was one of my first digital art inspirations. She's not using AI. AI trained on HER art.

I'm not saying plaid isn't cute. But I think it's one of those things where it's cute for a mini-skirt. But when it's an entire ankle-length dress, then it becomes formal. I would just like more stat balancing in the fun dress-up game. Or better fashion sense. Or any true joy in my life.

Finally made a dress in Dressmaker that wasn't hideous. Got a popup saying the client wouldn't like it. Because I made it TOO cute. Because I used too much Red Plaid. Which has a base cute stat of 25. Plaid. I would like to argue

the first game i worked on extensively, "An Outcry", is on sale at a low 50% off with the Steam autumn sale! it's got those autumn-night colors, takes place in october, and has some jack-o-lantern type birds! (don't worry about the birds.) store.steampowered.com/app/1817470/...

A flurry of silhouetted cars with red taillights, bumper on bumper, streaming down a busy road. On the left of the road is a tall building - a subway station - built by Otto Wagner. On the right, there is an apartment building, and a tiny person in purple. There is text at the top, which reads: "The Vienna city belt."

A rotten, soot-covered political poster for a political party called "AFP", in front of the Austrian flag. The candidate's face is scratched and burnt away. Text at the top reads, decoding the poster: "'We will not be silence!' (Our crimes should go unpunished.)

A man-sized, raven-like being with a black mask and glowing, burning insides, opening its beak and jovially holding up a beer-bottle while smoking a cigarette. A textbox at the bottom of the screen, spoken by this being, reads: "settle down among your kin, have a drink, kid, settle in!"

The courtyard of a Vienna apartment building, covered in grey birds with glowing orange eyes. Most of the screen is bathed in darkness; only a spotlight shines on the person who emerged out into it, a bald person with a bandage around their head and a black censor bar over their eyes. Text at the bottom of the screen reads: "Your curtain may be calling. Breathe, unnamed. Know what you have to do."

The dressmaker game is very good, light, and relaxing. The story (so far, I've only played a couple hours) has Bridgerton vibes. My dresses were ugly, but it was still fun

I wrote a post on getting started with Blender - specifically for people coming from 2d. Maybe it'll help - www.tumblr.com/endvertex/78...

It wasn't as difficult as I imagined! After making the char I just used VNyan and OBS, and both are free!

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.
