iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My #Peak achievement run was successful! About the only thing left to do to push myself further in this game would be solo Ascent 8. Maybe I try that one day :3

LumKitty - Live on Twitch

Live for (hopefully) the final 3 achievements in #Peak, followed by dancing in #BeatSaber since I missed it on Wednesday twitch.tv/LumKitty joystick.tv/u/LumKitty #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Streamer #SmallStreamer

twitch.tv

Final 3 achievements, then Beat Saber! | Streaming peak.

Unfortunately LIV is largely abandonware now, ever since Facebook bought them and had them pivot into VR filmmaking on quest There's an open source replacement, but mainly for its 3rd person streaming. I don't think anyone has replaced the headset stabiliser. It never worked for me anyway tbh

000

I normally use XS overlay to show the window from another chat monitor app. It's a weird UI but works well once you get used to it You can also use LIV's chat monitor but I'd only bother with that if you plan on using LIV anyway For Beat Saber, the Beat Saber Plus mod gives native in-game chat

Thanks to NeocortexVT for volunteering as a sacrifice for the dagger achievement, and to @milkydelta.moe for that final run through the Citadel to get the no getting hit by traps achievement

So close now. Next time there's a Mesa spawn, I should hopefully be good for these! #Peak

Astronomy Badge (Look a little too closely at the blazing sun)
Megaentomology Badge (Survive an Antlion attack)
Needlepoint Badge (Have a lot of cactuses stuck to you)

I still can't believe you did that, LMAO :3

The people selling you a book are unlikely to offer you anything useful, otherwise they'd be working a high powered job and not trying to sell you a stupid book Unfortunately I don't have any advice for you. I've not looked for work since before AI fucked everything and dread ever having to do so :(

God I hate Windows Server 2025 almost as much as 2016. At least I won't have to suffer 2016 much longer

My Beat Saber stream today will be delayed or cancelled due to me having to work late It's just out of hours server patching but the patches are a fucking nightmare this month

In fairness, that feature is non-obvious. I only just found out that it exists thanks to this post prompting me to go look for it! I always assumed the + icon was for other attachment types so never bothered with it. They didn't even bother with alt text or a hover popup to explain its purpose

LumKitty👾🌌🐈‍⬛ @lumkitty.uk · 22/09/2026

Aww yiss! Limine added mouse support in the bootloader. Given that my keyboard doesn't get detected in the BIOS every other BIOS update, this has removed a huge barrier to my #Linux switch (having to dig out a PS/2 keyboard). I wonder if SteamVR + nVidia works yet? That's the only blocker now!

I am exhausted and skipping my Software Sunday stream. I should still be doing M8S raid night though! Might do something chill beforehand, we'll see how I feel I think I've earned a day off now that FollowCam 1.0 is released! :3

I will never knowingly stream a game that uses GenAI/LLM content. I've been offered review copies of such games on two occasions and rejected both of them I do not knowingly use GenAI in my workflow I am, however, bad at spotting undisclosed AI. If I fuck up, please point it out and I'll get rid!

This is what I get for doing the release at 1AM after a lengthy Beat Saber stream. I should've just waited until the morning :D

With FollowCam 1.0 finally done, time to think about the to-do list: - Update UI to VNyanUI - exclusion zone to force the camera to go around your model (cylinder/sphere) - Global shared movement settings (but overrideable) - Better documentation What would you like to see? #VTuberTech #VNyan

Myself and NeocortexVT did a thing today! (Ascent 8 cleared!) twitch.tv/videos/28770... #Peak #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN

GitHub - LumKitty/OnAirTap: Personal fork for BeatSaber wall distortion

A small update to my personal fork of OnAirTap. This backports the memory leak fix from the latest version, but does not include any of the new features from upstream. This fork is only useful if you're doing Beat Saber translucent walls with distortion applied in OBS #VTuberTech #VNyan #VTuber

github.com

Personal fork for BeatSaber wall distortion. Contribute to LumKitty/OnAirTap development by creating an account on GitHub.

For me it's the opposite, I'm apparently really bad at spotting undisclosed AI, and have been caught unawares with off-stream stuff I don't care for Fortnite (even before HP) but this is the first I've heard of them using AI. I guess it should've been obvious given EGSs resistance to AI disclosures

I mean, surely the whole Harry Potter thing should be reason alone to stop supporting Fortnite!

These two have been my most ambitious VNyan mod projects to date. I have learned so much making these and would love to see what you do with them. I hope the VTuber community finds them useful! Comments & suggestions are very welcome!

I've released FollowCam 1.0 and VRnyan 2.3 for #VNyan They can be used independently or together, allowing you to stream many #VR games as third person games using your #VTuber, or just to wander around a VNyan world! lum.uk/FCam lum.uk/VRnyan #VTuberTech #ENVTuber #VTuberEN

Ahh yes, the reason why so many Amiga users are now furries :3

It's harder to do when the environment is Comms between two plugins for a closed source Unity application, but yes I absolutely should do that. I should probably also compare against doing it all in one plugin

God I hate clickbait infosec writing. "New attack breaks hardware based encryption on Intel and AMD CPUs" sounds scary, another Spectre/Meltdown situation? The attack requires inserting a custom PCB between the RAM socket and the RAM like a fucking Game Genie. I'll sleep fine tonight after all

With this maybe I can try switching to channels or a ConcurrentQueue since we are technically multi threading (albeit with only one producer and one consumer) but if that delays adding any more it may fail if the user selects a low delay time, hmm 🤔

Figured it out! I was time stamping when I add them to the queue, what I should've done was includ the timestamp I created when I calculated TimeDelta, which is used for movement calculations. Putting this info into the queue means it pops at a sensible time relative to the amount of movement

I do also need to work on things like the actual following algorithm though. I'm considering adding things like a camera speed limit, and an exclusion zone around the VTuber, which may help with the watchability of followcam streams. Let me know your thoughts on this

000

With v0.9 I think I've removed a lot of stupid from the design, and I think the underlying tech is (probably) stable. This (hopefully) means I can start working on things like QOL, documentation and replacing the UI with one easier to use while in VR. We shall see on Wednesday! :3

GitHub - LumKitty/VNyan-FollowCam: Let VNyan's camera follow you as you walk around in VR

FollowCam 0.9 is out and (I think) finally fixes the remaining stutter issues. VNyan 1.7.2 is required. If you use it with VRnyan you need 2.3-rc9, which is also out. rc9 also has a -gui variant to try. It uses the new #VNyan 1.7.2 UI framework Test on Weds, but I think we're close! #VTuberTech

There are definitely other issues going on though, like why using DateTime.UtcNow seems to give less stutter than using a higher precision timer, like maybe it's just masking issues in my queue processing. It's very very odd. The current release at least works, but I don't properly know why!

LumKitty👾🌌🐈‍⬛ @lumkitty.uk · 14/09/2026

I gave that a go tonight, but ran into weird timing issues that I couldn't pin down, felt like it was skipping frames sometimes I ended up addressing the memory leak and going back to Queue<T> even though it's not thread safe, since I only have one input and one output Need to investigate more

The only people who think AI generated code is good are people who don't know how to code. Sadly that includes my boss and half of my co-workers (I work in systems, not dev, so when coding was needed it used to come to me, now I get asked to fix AI garbage that someone else "wrote")

How the .NET Queue<T> will bite your memory usage

This article seems to suggest it doesn't work properly: code.dblock.org/2009/02/10/h... I'm now torn between an explicit circular buffer and a linked list, though I suspect a circular buffer will also protect me from my own incompetence (e.g. appending and never popping)

code.dblock.org

I was profiling an application at my real job with MemProfiler. It yielded a very high number of instances in a .NET Queue<T>. What was abnormal is a constant growth of the numbers over time. I narro...

100

Apparently what I'm looking for is called a Circular Buffer. Never knew the name for it before. So long as I can have separate pointers to beginning and end I should be fine though, since I can't always guarantee it'll be full
