surprisingly, english wikipedia with images is only 115 gigabytes! although the images are not at a huge resolution

i 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

i got on a new medicine that helps my energy levels so much (abilify 2mg).. it's really nice to have energy after sleeping 10-14 hours per day for so long and lie in bed half my waking hours. the world feels like such a playground when i get to be creative <3

been 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

I'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

www.meta.com/experiences/... If you have a meta quest headset you should check out the MoAT on the quest store! Another amazing contribution by @dsnopek.bsky.social :) I hate Meta the company, but I love that more people can access the MoAT without paying the massive price tag of desktop VR :)

I 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

it's definitely possible, but would mean bundling/implementing some kind of TeX parser/renderer, which is definitely nontrivial. There might be some shortcuts though to make it more readable without going that full distance!

made a big art mood board i can look at when i'm in need of inspiration

a large mood board displaying images in a grid with an eclectic theme. there are screenshots of retro video games, old horror movies, some abstract art, and lots of game manuals and movie posters

I'm hoping to add more variety/decoration/color and move from the boxy rooms of the current version! I also have an idea for somewhat theming rooms according to their content using a lookup table of embeddings but I'm not sure if the result will be worth the work!

Maya @may.as · 13/03/2026

Zero guarantees or timelines... but I was brainstorming this morning and getting excited about some ideas

my 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!

the fish tank editor is working now! I need to add more decorations and types of fish next :) #fishposting

my fish tank now has an editor... ill post a demo soon but i think it'll be really fun once i model some more decorations :)

added some animations to the fish! Now when they change direction they flap their little tails! #fishposting

I'm using react three fiber, which is a library on top of three.js. so all of this runs in the browser

It's looking much better with shadow intensity adjusted and shadow radius enabled! thanks for the suggestions @tess.bsky.social !

070

Maya @may.as · 30/09/2025

my 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 · 30/09/2025

both of those sound way out of my depth as far as shaders go haha, I was thinking maybe I could add a material to everything that receives the ripple highlights which superimposes the ripple pattern synced to the same time and world coordinates?

110

Maya @may.as · 30/09/2025

Playing 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 · 30/09/2025

I 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

shadows cast underwater by the surface of water

110

Maya @may.as · 30/09/2025

I 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
