Maya @may.as · 15/08/2026i love my ayn thor but when it comes to games that use precise touch it's crazy how nothing modern can even come close to the resistive touch screen on the DS/3DS 060
Maya @may.as · 05/08/2026been annoyed with how fragmented health resources are, so I made this lil site that basically provides a bunch of bookmarks and also lets you search health inspections for restaurants in different counties from one site. It's mostly static html + CF workers to pull inspections oregonhealth.may.as 0121
Maya @may.as · 01/08/2026The training loop for my hamster umamusume-demake (now called ham-ham derby) is more or less working! 1151
Maya @may.as · 01/08/2026working on a hamster-themed demake of umamusume for pico-8! some footage of the menu animations 0367
Maya @may.as · 08/06/2026I'm catching up on stewarding the museum of all things project... part of that is making clear that generative AI output has no place anywhere in the codebase or the assets. all my contributors are great and I hope it never becomes an issue, but 4k loc slop PRs will never be accepted on my watch :p 0160
Maya @may.as · 25/03/2026I set up my Ollee watch today! www.olleewatch.com using a casio a158we as my base, bc it's got my favorite color combo. I really hate the aesthetics of most smart watches so it's fun to have something in between 1292
Maya @may.as · 13/03/2026Zero guarantees or timelines... but I was brainstorming this morning and getting excited about some ideas 2160
Maya @may.as · 07/02/2026my new and decorated AYN thor! it's very exciting, I'm not sure if I'll favor it over my real 3ds for dual screen games but the multitasking (or brain rotting) opportunities are exciting. mostly been playing GC so far also a family photo of my rg35xxsp, new 3ds LL, and ayn thor! 150
Maya @may.as · 07/11/2025messing around with my ipod and discovering that rockbox firmware comes with an interactive periodic table? 0331
Maya @may.as · 07/10/2025I built a new shelf today to hold VHS in my retro media center! and to celebrate I'm watching my official @summoningsalt.bsky.social Halo 2 World Records VHS tape that I got! (the photo is taken on my friend's digicam!) 0305
Maya @may.as · 04/10/2025I added the ability to give decorations in the aquarium custom colors! this is my attempt to make a big guppy out of rocks.. #fishposting 080
Maya @may.as · 03/10/2025the fish tank editor is working now! I need to add more decorations and types of fish next :) #fishposting 2381
Maya @may.as · 02/10/2025added some animations to the fish! Now when they change direction they flap their little tails! #fishposting 0251
Maya @may.as · 30/09/2025It's looking much better with shadow intensity adjusted and shadow radius enabled! thanks for the suggestions @tess.bsky.social ! 070
Maya @may.as · 30/09/2025my partner had the very clever idea to make the ambient light (the light level in the shadows) brighter, and then crank the directional light up so that the areas which aren't in shadow appear as highlights. Then I inverted the vornoi noise texture, and I think the result looks much prettier! 170
Maya @may.as · 30/09/2025Playing around with some water ripple shadows! I am very happy with the effect but I'm not sure how much of that is just bc it took me hours of messing with three.js depth shaders to get this working #fishposting 2281
Maya @may.as · 30/09/2025I have a directional light pointed down so I wonder if I just put a texture at the top of the water with the ripple effect and then enabled it to cast shadows with an alpha test? It might not look any good though with 1d shadows, it needs both light and dark 110
Maya @may.as · 30/09/2025I think you're right! I'm also messing around w shadows now, what I'd really love to do is to project a moving underwater texture onto all the shadow receivers (and match it to a ripple effect at the water's surface) but I'm figuring out how to do that 210
Maya @may.as · 29/09/2025things are looking livelier in here now that we've got some plants! #fishposting 190
Maya @may.as · 29/09/2025fish added by @tess.bsky.social at 4am are coexisting peacefully with my guppies... what a beautiful project thank you <3 1140
Maya @may.as · 29/09/2025more fishposting... my lil guys are colliding w each other using rapier physics now 1190
Maya @may.as · 29/09/2025my vision for my 3d fish tank is to have an editor where you can add different kinds of fish and plants/decorations, and then export it as an embed you can put on your site, with a little badge to link back to the editor so other ppl can create their own 1172
Maya @may.as · 29/09/2025Having some fun making a virtual fish tank with three.js and react-three-fiber! If you aren't familiar with r3f I highly recommend checking it out, it's really cool how easily the pieces fit together to create something interactive (github.com/pmndrs/react...) 050
Maya @may.as · 28/09/2025just realized the 3 axes are probably colored like this because X, Y, Z are in the same order as R, G, B ?? 2221
Maya @may.as · 26/09/2025I am also considering building an embeddable 3d fish tank for websites using three.js... 0140
Maya @may.as · 26/09/2025starting to do some redesigning on my personal website... i want to add a bit more old-web style whimsy but i need more ideas on what to add 7310
Maya @may.as · 22/09/2025I made a custom homepage for my home server! Every service is accessible on a different subdomain behind an nginx proxy, which uses SSL. And tailscale lets me access from outside my home network! Some services/addresses are obscured for privacy :p 4553
Maya @may.as · 17/09/2025Having some fun building my bookshelf in blender! (with some little VHS tapes, a chance to play with shader nodes!) It's all made to the real dimensions so the next step is to build it for real! 0361
Maya @may.as · 16/09/2025hung up my 2 favorite "I spy" posters in my retro media nook! Gonna put some in my guest bathroom too :p I still can't believe that this poster book from a long-forgotten book fair is the only source of posters with Walter Wick's "I Spy" photography? Whoever holds the copyright needs to get on this 3200
Maya @may.as · 13/09/2025I wanted some cute nostalgic art in my retro media nook and I thought some of the art from the "I Spy" books would be cool-- turns out there are no posters sold of it anywhere! But I found this poster book from a book fair on a used bookseller! There was no preview so it was a shot in the dark! 1120
Maya @may.as · 09/09/2025never really worked much with HDDs so this is my first time performing the burn in ritual 060
Maya @may.as · 09/09/2025built my new home server today!! you can see Cyrano in my rack next to my previous home server iteration, Jolly 1200
Maya @may.as · 05/09/2025ok sike im actually going to go with an i3 instead of the integrated n100, I got too worried about the throttling by not having an active CPU cooler and seemed like other people had maybe had issues with the n100m board also means I'm probably going to run proxmox on it now! 150
Maya @may.as · 04/09/2025I also couldn't help it and ordered a Raspberry Pi as well, my first one ever unbelievably! It's going to run Pi-hole as well as Wireguard! 290
Maya @may.as · 04/09/2025Just ordered my parts for my homelab setup! I decided to go with a basic steel wire shelf from amazon so that I don't need to pay the rack-mounted premium. And I'm building my own NAS/media server, using an ASRock board with integrated intel N100 CPU and a silverstone case w/ 5x 3.5" bays! 2180
Maya @may.as · 11/08/2025ok mostly just a fantasy exercise but do i build this 42u rack homelab??? my current setup is an intel nuc from 2015 with a 1tb usb hard drive so it'd be a bit of a step up... 170
