Postcanon alyx yayyy
She doesn't like the civilian clothes or what's left of the CP uniforms. Her hoodie and jacket are way better. And she's probably the last person on earth to own low rise jeans like this. Not that she doesn't have other clothes this is just objectively superior
#no reposting#i dont reaally have a lot to say about alyx here T_T#like very similar to Barney not much changes about her role?#shes still a mechanic n all that. still has a big hand in all the technological innovation within the resistance#uses her awesome hacking skills to repurpose combine tech#she isn't a sentry like Barney she just tags along for company#i have thoughts. about them.#anyways#half life 2#half life furry au#half life fanart#alyx vance

what have I got myself into
#we have a shark tank in school#and like the dum science geek i am#i proposed that we made bcis that can transmit real time info#to the brain#for like ppl who cant hear or see#LITTLE DID I KNOW#the only bci tech close to that is a headphone company which tracks your daily routine#and i decided to make the group with ky friends#so obviously im doing all the hard work#WHY. DID. I. GET. MYSELF. INTO. THIS.#oh and heres another great thing#its due in a day#i havent even started#and i dont have any other ideas#and everyone thought my stupid ass idea was great so now i cant even say no#cuz im letting them down then#the only good thing is that we dont have to actually develop the product#just explain how it works and why the sharks should invest#BUT HOW DO I EXPLAIN IT IF THE TECH DOESNT EVEN EXIST FOR IT#WHAT THE FUCK

part 2 of looking for uses for the yuutaone fonts. the matsubara logo is in pop stencil regular
#this one is partially me trying to worldbuild for something I'm writing.#a bunch of the characters work at a japanese tech company trying and failing to break into US markets#also goddamn the free webapp version of sketchup sucks#the warehouse is amazing but the options for like#shaders or rendering etc are basically nonexistent#you gotta manually hide all the lines if you don't want them in the final image#I spent way too much time on the other assets here so I didn't get around to fixing that

it is just FASCINATING to me how the ads for Google Gemini seem entirely dedicated to "What's the single least useful thing we could suggest using GenAI for?"
Planning a date! Planning a holiday! Writing a cover letter for a job application! Designing an invitation for a Christmas dinner with your friends???
like I don't think there are that many good applications for this kind of genAI but if there are they sure as fuck aren't these
#ai#google gemini#like here's the thing i KNOW there are useful applications for LLM software#i did my honours thesis on what was essentially an graphic recognition diagnostic system for arthritis#which used the same basic principle to measure how far certain points on a bone were from “normal” bone shapes#and whether they were closer to images tagged as arthritic#and it gave a pretty accurate OA rating#but you know what i would not trust the bone-measuring robot to do? deal with the patient.#anyway idk man the Gemini pr team is just hilariously inept at this#i wouldn't trust another PERSON to plan a date for me let alone a computer!#and if writing a fancy invitation for a friendly get together isn't something you enjoy you can simply. not do that?#i am begging tech companies to figure out use cases BEFORE launch thanks

rachel sent me a twitter post about sleepy nobu without his glasses and i absolutely had to draw him like that lol
while drawing this i has the headcanon that nobu is someone who is meant to have 9 hours of sleep a night but only gets like 5 between street racing and getting up early for his work
#i am trying to let my line art be messier because it's more fun that way#and i color everything because i love coloring lol#he looks even cuter here i just want to mess up his hair even more#i love drawing his hair so much lol#initial d#nobuhiko akiyama#nobu <3#my art#faded art#oh and the microsoft shirt it just really funny to me#he would so be one of those comp sci ppl who just has a bunch of old tech company shirts#and wears them around the house

I hate translating meetings for work 😭
Girl I'm fluent in english that doesn't mean I understand technical speak for an area I'm not part of! (I'm support this was for sales)
I don't think people realize how hard it is to translate speech about a subject you're not familiar with, you barely understand whats being said yourself let alone how to convey that back into another language!
I need a raise
#why does nobody else speak english here its a tech company come on#didn't help that the person I was translating the meeting for didn't seem to understand what it was about either#cyan complaining#Now I'm dying cause I have social anxiety

The fact that we allow phone companies to get away with just straight up not including an essential bit of hardware needed to make the phone work and now has to be brought separately is completely atrocious
#If you can't tell#I'm pissed#Brought a new phone today#Bc my old one was dying within 2 hours of use#My first new phone since 2019#And found out its not just apple any more that said fuck you you don't get a charging plug#But now samsung are doing it too??#Bitch I hate it here#That combined with the lack of earphone port#I hate tech companies#My last phone was a hauwei#I wanted to get a new one of those#Only to find out they're now not allowed to be sold in the UK#Why????#Bc they actually gave you a plug#I I hate it#At least my phone was relatively cheap#Can't imagine buying one of those 700+ phones#And not even getting a charger#I think I'd cry#Anyway#Vent#Kill me

the worst thing about me being a Gen Z with a Gen X father is that i routinely use Gen Z slang & internet lingo around him to the point that he's able to accurately parse what it all means. AND THEN HE GOES AND USES IT AT WORK TO IMPRESS HIS TWENTY SOMETHING COWORKERS
#my dad is a manager at *insert big tech company here* so he works with a fair amount of recently out of college computer science majors#and they're like 'oh haha it's fine john's really smart and stuff but he is kinda old'#but then my dad starts talking like some gen z teenager and they're like 'wah??'#and of course he has to tell them he knows this shit because of me#his gen z child#like when i tell you all his coworkers know about me is that 1) i teach him slang 2) am a stem major and 3) i have pink hair#like what picture does this paint of me?#like. y'all. he told them he knew what rizz means#how am i supposed to recover from this#wrote this ages ago and now i don't even have pink hair anymore#oh well have this silly little post that's been rotting in my drafts for weeks#not good omens#shitposting about the stuff my dad does will never not be funny to me#personal#personal post#random

thank god for indie devs making like tiny little maximum 10 megabyte freeware games on itchio keeping the art of filesize optimization alive. ASSET REUSE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#im watching a video about wario land music -> 'the bizarre music and sound design of wario land 4' by geno7#good video so far! i like this guys stuff. he talked a bit about how they did some of the sound effects for warios voice#a very like. chopped and remixed sample style of doing his vocal lines. which is very cool 1) because it saves a bit of#precious space on that gba cartridge BUT ALSO 2) it just sounds cool and interesting stylistically#and man sometimes trying to keep a file size down really does give way for some really interesting stuff#on my own personal interests in games i ADORE rpg makers rtp and how people can find creative uses for it#i love that a bunch of games can draw from the same asset pool as one install on ur computer#no bloating your hardrive with a bunch of copies of the same assets - its just already here!#and from a developers perspective i love when they reuse old assets from other games in new weird ways#some small visual novel companies will reuse backgrounds and other assets#altho i dont mind a bit of bloat with VNs since a big draw can be the big pretty images and big pretty sounds#but its still cool when people find ways to get creative with space saving. and from a players perspective its also nice#space is cheap nowadays. but its not Free. we can swallow terabytes whole with micro sds and everything#but a lot of players dont get the chance or ability to upgrade their internal memory that often. so i think being considerate of filesize i#very important. and thats not even getting into the download bandwidth limits - a lot of people all across north america can only get like#internet from 1 provider and that 1 provider often likes to upcharge and limit shit because they can#we might live in a future where a lot of powerful technology exists. but access to that tech is another story#so remember the filesize. remember the filesize.#dies in your arms

I work in one of the big tech industry office clusters in the city which means that when I'm browsing engineering job offers they are often just down the street, or sometimes in literally the same building I currently work in.
On the one hand, convenient if I get one of those, same commute, but also it puts me at permanent risk of some truly mortifying interactions.
#tech companies are all over but they're clustered here#also Siemens is on the other end of the city#gainful employment

my lyft this morning reeked of weed and we spent the whole ride bitching about the government....... fantastic start to my morning hell yeah man i need this guy to be in my area every morning
#musings#second time ive had him but he wasnt in a talking mood the first time#love when i get people more than once and theyre like oh! familiar person!#and we chat:)#also my god im sick of some of the people i get around here i dont wanna listen to christian radio#or shit about ai unless you actually work in tech and have interesting opinions like the cool dadguy i get in my drivethru#he and i have come to the agreement that ai should be a tool in the hands of artists instead of being a replacement like companies Want

me: no one: not a soul: me, inconsolable: does the tv man know he deserves better?
#hazbin vox#valentino#hazbin hotel#i am inconsolable about this man giving that roach ass garbage can a pent house in his fucking super tech company tower#only to have him bring another man into HIS DAMN HOUSE and not even one who wants to be there?!?!#when this mans is out here holding his hand like he'd burn hell for him and dancing with him excitedly#clown ass behavior#if someone held my hand the way vox holds val's i would think about it for DAYS#how is he with this dude#make it make sense vivien

the last of my coworkers who worked at this job pre-buy out just told me he’s started looking for other jobs btw ❤️❤️❤️❤️ clasping my hands together head down in prayer please let this company crumble into dust while i await my chance to leave AMEN.
#like after he leaves i will be the most tenured technician from the original company#ive been here 2 years. lol. lmao even.#<- technically two of my other coworkers who are part of a different company have more experience than me (7 years and 12 years)#but one of them (12 years) legitimately doesn’t know how to do this job. like i know more than him.#the other (7 years) knows more than me and is a good tech#but he is a chronic underachiever (complimentary) and will not pick up any slack with people gone#like we’re cooookeddd

"oh there are no trustworthy pirates they could all install spyware on your pc if they wanted" bro '''''trusted''''' companies install shady shit without your consent all the time (cough microsoft with recall and autodesk literally messing with registry keys to enforce licenses cough) they're no different from the bad actors you describe. I trust M0nkrus and Razor1911 and others WAY more than I trust any god forsaken tech company on this earth
#saw someone on a yt comment section say that 'trusted pirate' is an oxymoron#nah bro. Trusted tech company is the actual oxymoron here#Luke rants
