iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Well, I had an interesting morning. The GF's mom called in a welfare check, thinking she was drugged. Cops separated us, interviewed us, and then took off satisfied. They were nice, but it was a bit unsettling and invasive.

Starry and Percy (the cat) have arrived safely and (after a thoroughly hectic arrivals experience at #SEATAC) are home safe. Starry is safe and eeping in her room, and her family is happily aware. Thanks to everyone for your patience and support.

After working to convert a #vrchat avatar to #chilloutvr with one of Neon's eye shaders and having to deal with fixing it for SPI, I had a bunch of friends approach me needing help with their own eye shaders. I've since made a tool to automate the process.

Well, I've stopped crying; Still feel like I let her down, but there's not much more I could have done without making things worse. Just hope she forgives me someday.

Started binge-watching Vivy - Flourite Eye's Song. It's like Ghost in the Shell meets Terminator meets Miku. Brutal, gory action interspersed with stupid retard Vocoloid robot not listening to the totally-not-skynet teddybear. myanimelist.net/anime/46095/...

When highly evolved AIs set out to eradicate mankind, the carnage that ensues fills the air with the stench of fresh blood and burning bodies. In a desperate bid to prevent the calamity from ever…

It's been a rough couple of days, but I'm coming around, thanks to friends and Yoshi herself. We left on good terms, so it definitely could be worse, but it's still painful for both of us.

God dammit, I miss her already.

Excused from jury duty, apparently they needed 30 and only got 11. The guy rapping in the courtroom hallway was a vibe though.

Jacket is done, thumb is fixed, and I added a bunch more details, including a custom AudioLink shader that can be tuned and hidden. Going for a megaman aesthetic. #vr #chilloutvr

Rob Nelson @n3x15.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

More screwing around with the face. Eyes are fixed, finally. Thumb is bork for some reason, though, and I need to figure out a good cell-shading effect. Maybe quantizing lighting...? #ChilloutVR

The one thing that annoys the shit out of me with #vrchat/#chilloutvr avatar creators is that finding male human models that aren't either femboys or hyper-goths is like picking flyshit from pepper.

Wow. Several years ago, it would be hard to imagine a story like this. Now, it's not routine, but not anyhing out of the ordinary. A ground robot evacuated a 77 year old Ukrainian lady from Lyman. Her home of 53 years was destroyed by Russians.

Someone turned #grok into a bot in #ChilloutVR. It's currently insulting a "meatbag."

Ported Shidou to #ChilloutVR. Modular Avatar is a pain in the ass, may end up manually stitching this together in Blender for optimization reasons.

Feeling too shitty to participate in April Fools' Day shenanigans. Will probably hang out in CVR later in the day. Need sleep first. Again: Yoshi and I left on good terms, don't stir any shit with her.

Going to be on and off today. Yoshi is in need of a lot of support today, and I was up all night working on a stupid project. Need to concentrate on her.

Well, New Year's on #ChilloutVR was hilarious. (This was not a bug, just devs making everyone in the instance display a DEV plate for shits and giggles.) Happy New Year's!

I've been asked to comment on ChilloutVR and PoligonVR drama. I like to maintain professional relationships with places I've previously worked, and with competitors. It keeps competition clean, fair, and friendly, as competition should be. I will not be commenting on any ongoing drama. Thank you.

Yosh is finally getting a break from the holiday retail nightmare, and it sounds like her transfer to another store was approved. Be nice to retail people. They go through Hell for your Captain Crunch, especially on the Holiday season.

Watching CNN trying and failing to pronounce "Skagit" was a treat. With all the other funny local names (Puyallup, Sequim, Snohomish, Stillaguamish...), though, it makes me begin to think Washington State is the US' version of the Welsh.

Rob Nelson @n3x15.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Good morning. Washington is flooding. Lots of people are going to lose their homes. I know there are assholes handwaving it because Washington is always moist, but the Skagit cresting at 11ft above flood stage is serious shit. I'm safe, but if you're in WA, please be safe and heed warnings.

People who say we don't need brick-and-mortar hardware stores anymore have never gone to @acehardware with an obscure, unmarked faucet aerator, shown it to an ancient guy in the back, and walked out with the perfect replacement.

In my never-ending quest of sticking metaphorical forks into gamified electrical outlets, I've started dissecting Roblox cheats out of boredom. The number of RATs and infostealers in these scripts is absolutely hilarious. (No, I don't plan on getting hired there.)

A drawing of Dr. Ivo Robotnik, from the SatAM and Archie Sonic the Hedgehog universes. He's standing over a glowing, green chaos emerald. He's grinning, wide and menacing as he stares down at it.
