Women's bathrooms DO have good graffiti sometimes!

Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated as a Total Fantasy Knockout was recommended to me by a fellow trans girl as having very wholesome trans vibes. I occasionally feel this panel and it's a very good feeling.

Dang @magicariot.com that sequel is taking up a lot more room in my purse! (But I won't be able to swap books mid-flight if I don't carry them both on. 😭)

A bit more progress – Star (genderhacked Megaman X) can run! Also, she has eyeshadow that matches her current armour. #romhack #megaman #gamedev #trans #transgender

OMFG, Elsevier, I do not need a "Reading Assistant" – that's completely contrary to why I come to your site! If I want a quick version of the paper, I'll read the abstract and triage from there.

Here's how generative "AI" has improved my work life... it now takes seconds to minutes to infinite time to load any page with material I need to read (instead of a millisecond). So... wait how does this help me?

Screenshot of dl.acm.org that states it is "Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds." With another block that says "Why is this verification taking longer?"

Doing sprite work on my genderhack of Megaman X. I *think* I've got a design that works (original X and evolution in the 2nd image). It's interesting that the sprite constraints push back on the original character design. (Pink pixels are the original silhouette.) #romhacking #megaman #trans

My genderhack of Megaman X – MegaStar is finally coming together! I've mostly got the portrait sorted, I've added a star glyph (to replace the name "X"), and updated pronouns. Screenshots are all in-emulator. #romhack #snes #megaman #transgender

Major success in my romhacking project – thanks to others' tools, I can now decompress, edit, and re-compress sprites! The image may LOOK LIKE garbage, but that's just because I found the sheet with the text, rotated it 90 degrees, and put it back in. AND IT WORKED! #romhack #snes #megaman

Updated version of Megaman X, but girl! My first time doing (remixing?) pixel art. I'm feeling pretty happy about the eyes and hair. Unfortunately I think I have to recolour after reflecting on how palettes work. #romhack #retrogaming #genderhack #pixelart #snes

Pixel art of an anime woman in futuristic armour. Her hair and eyes are blue. The armour is grey, with the right arm being a cannon.

Working on a #romhack of Megaman X, because I'd rather play it as a girl. So... first step is redoing the "weapon get" screen, which I'll use as the basis for changing the sprites. I haven't done her head yet, but so far so good...

Tile image from the SNES version of Megaman X that shows X facing the camera. The image shows a pixelated woman in blue armour; one arm is a cannon.

I somehow successfully painted a #Miku mug. Reasonably pleased with it, but we'll see how it turns out after firing (the colours should get brighter)! #art #hatsunemiku #ceramics

I decided that my #retro console needed a different Game Boy Color screen – it's now a Game Girl Color. :D #daijisho

#Retroid "mod" to help with Playstation games. Not the cleanest, and I'm sure I can take it off for stickers later...

Designing the pages for my #DnD DM notebook. NPC sheets spread horizontally, two per spread. They have a party affinity tracker on the side for use with a paperclip (see: youtu.be/ILajAMmXqlw?...). #bookbinding #ttrpg

I need a new campaign journal. Since I'm running Dragon Delves, I tracked down an old #WotC #DnD colouring sheet, added a title, and printed it off. That'll be my cover! #bookbinding

After many setbacks, I have now crafted a replica of the #NES #Metroid game manual! For better or worse, I apparently own zero staples (but at least four staplers), so I stitch-bound it with embroidery floss in a dark blue to coordinate the cover. #bookbinding
