hey mecha, do you think you could beat metal sonic in a 1v1
#mecha sonic#metal sonic#sonic fanart#sonic fandom#welcome back to the worlds worst siblings#also weclome back to: weird written text for characters who dont have normal speech. wehehe#it was fun for fake pep's garbled distorted sounds so i do it again for metal's angry computer noises#metal being mute is such an important part of his character to me.......#the way i see it is like hes perfectly capable of speech he just doesn't have the hardware for it#but he still tries. with his angry computer beep boops. n' those sounds r what the text like this is meant to represent visually#n e way the actual code is just morse but using a couple sets of different symbols.#'' i could run circles around him'' / ''he wouldn't land a hit on me''#mecha knows the audience can't understand metal. but he can#so he's continuing to present his own answer while also sorta underhandedly replying to metal#anyway good ask. they should kill eachother.#they're speed+agility vs. power+defense builds to me. so the real answer for 'who would win'#is whoever manages to stay level-headed and not get pissed off the longest. which could go either way depending on the circumstances.#arting#msab

the comic with fiddlefords rubix cube cage made me think "haha like a saw trap" and then i thought about it for one second longer and um. john kramer is also an old guy who builds weird machines. and now im imagining a scenario in which they interact and fidds is put in a saw trap for whatever reason but nothing happens to him because he just dismantles it. and john and amanda are watching the video feed like 😦
i know like. NOTHING about saw, but its really funny to imagine him just taking everything apart. he stuffs all the hardware into his comically sized pockets and walks away.

IM FREEEEEE
#(FROM PROJECTS)#personal#the engineering chronicles#WILL HOPEFULLY NEVER NEED TO SLEEP THREE NIGHTS ON THE FLOOR OF THE ENGINEERING BUILDING AGAIN!!!#one class the final project was to build a karaoke machine which my partner and i had planned on making look like actual speakers and#microphone but we couldn’t find the stuff in time and her mom made a joke abt singing into hairbrushes and we decided to take that and#run lol we used a pink sparkly makeup box to store our circuit and cut out holes for the speakers and decorated it with makeup and put the#hairbrush mics inside and it was very fun actually and our class voted us as one of the groups to go to project day which was pretty cool!!#project day did get canceled bc of. asnow day which was unfortunate especially considering we stayed up until 4am the night before#preparing our documents for it and trying to perfect the karaoke machine when we could have been putting that time toward project number#2 😐 but whatever we still get our extra credit and i can say i qualified for it so im happy enough#then project 2 was for another class but we’re lab partners in both (+ another guy for this project) and it was digital monster pet so we#made a dragon i was mostly on design so i hand CADed the whole thing which was living hell if i never want to lay eyes on solidworks#again but also he came out very cute after MUCH hasle putting him together with all the wires and components bc our wires from the kit are#so bad they’re constantly getting disconnected from each other which we didn’t know would happen bc the labs we usually do we don’t have to#connect them together like that since you’re not routing them thru bodies etc and they’ve worked great until now but anywya.#i did the lcd faces and the light sensor and a couple other things + a lot of the code was copy and paste from past labs and fitting it to#suit the project but for the most part it was a shit ton of hardware on my end while she and the other guy managed the rest of the code#which i really wish i could have been more involved with but oh well. as it is though he’s my baby i birthed him <3 we’re planning on#meeting up over weekends next semester to change some stuff and add other extra features that we missed we got a decent grade 85% but we#all agreed we don’t want to leave him like this we want to add the extra features we had come up with and also i think we should switch out#our motors for servos bc the motors we were required to use#instead suck they’re not strong at all compared to what a servo can do for you. also we want to make it so you can not only pet him which w#already have with light sensors but also wash him with a Hall effect sensor and magnet so like we’d stick the sensor inside and the magnet#inside a little cad brush or sponge is what im envisioning and i have an expression in mind for what we’d do then. also paint him and#redesign the platform he stands on bc it’s rlly cramped and also make a pcb bc we only have him with the microcontroller and breadboards rn#and i might mess with his face piece a bit too im not sure. oh and speakers!!! those were technically a requirement but we didn’t get them#done on time but i want to make him play music sooooo bad so definitely that. anyway want to be more involved in the software when we do#all this. pretty excited actually :]

I made a lego case for my Raspberry Pi4 with fan hat and 3.5" LCD touchscreen module (that is attached with a flatwire to the Raspi-fan hat combination).

Ah, the familiar rage that one always feels towards the husband in a horror novel. I would simply tear this man apart limb by limb.
#i'm reading nestlings and the rage i feel towards reid is worse than the normal ''husband in a horror story needs to LISTEN TO HIS WIFE''#his life is so hard :((( his disabled wife is worried about his baby :((((( and she's such a disgusting burden to him#he won't even stop by the HARDWARE store for FIVE seconds to grab a screw so his wife can do her work from home job#he's the REAL victim despite him lying to his wife about the fact he lost his job because he cursed out his boss#(losing them the health insurance his wife RELIES UPON)#when he left a party hosted by a bunch of rich and famous people who live in the building having just had what he calls#the best day of his life#and sees his wife covered in dirt with leaves in her hair because her chair had fallen in the courtyard and no one heard her calls for help#so she CRAWLED home#this man had the nerve to say how much she disgusted him#oscar talks to himself#oscar reads actual books

Unfuck your Tech
The Internet is increasingly profit-based in its design, intended to extract the maximum amount of value from your use of it. Proprietary tech, ads, monetization, algorithmic content dissemination, digital rights media (DRM) etc. are all things that benefit corporations, but that make the Internet more hostile to real individuals and communities.
This blog shares community-oriented tools, free alternatives to paid content, and ways for healthier more human media consumption with a focus on free open-source software (FOSS), that anyone can use to remove limiters, paywalls, ads, mindless endless content feeds, and take back digital autonomy, self-respect and fulfillment.
Unfuck your technology, and make your digital landscape a kinder place.

I built my first PC!
Here's a video where I'm assembling the motherboard and installing it in the case- plugging each component was too complicated to record though sooo I didn't include the cable management part whoopsies
I actually built it in December before my exam period so I could properly focus on studying. I have done so much research to choose the right components for the right prices. I even bought some parts second hand because it's just outright stupid to buy things that are brand new when you can get the same things for cheaper that have been barely used...

i like to think robo JFK exploded on Xina at least once during construction and ya girl was rocking like. loony tunes esque soot on face + cartoon hair when electrified
#bonus points if only his head survived intact jsdfjksdhjfhsd#idk concepts that are funny to ME <- funny until you think abt how it was a product of overwork as she'd been working on robo jfk for hours#on end. not to mention while i think xina was a fantastic programmer - the hardware side of things was something was teaching herself#while doing this#autism project to distract from heartbreak ftw#anyways guess whos listening to Building The Crate fkjshfksjdfjsdl#tunes talks 2099

Playing Clock Tower 3 now. Really weird game but am enjoying it a lot! It's not particularly scary but i'm really digging the absurd atmosphere this has, kinda makes me think of Hausu at times due to how whimsical and surreal it can be. The direction and acting are pretty neat too, everyone's body animations are so weirdly expressive for this era. If I have any complaints so far is that the pursuer A.I. is kinda wonky and they can damage you even if you're not close to them. Can lead to some cheap deaths lol
#Clock Tower#Clock Tower 3#ps2#screencaps#By the way i'm emulating most of these PS2 games with PCSX2's nightly build#Works perfectly!!#Only issue i had with this one is that FMVs kinda glitch out in hardware mode#So I have to switch to software mode during those (F9)

Project Nixdorf M20 – cleaning the iron 2024
And right now, with a full power, it is going an excellent summer. And I continue to restore old computer. With a name Nixdorf M20. I suggest, that it is a computer level of 286. So, in a middle of June I transport all the parts to the country house. Case is plastic, and I transport it too to the country house.
And, I continue to clean the metal parts from a rust. So, it happened like this, that case itself and small parts are covered with rather big rust. And to restore a computer. First of all, I need to clean it from the rust.
I start to do this, already, in 2023 year. I try different methods. And, only in summer find some proper way to do it. I use a special instrument for cleaning from a rust.
And, in this summer, already, things starts to go better and faster. And, I start to have ideas, that I can do this. To clean from a rust. And this is most big moment.
And, I can, even to say, that metal case is, already, clean from rust about one side. And, I can to remove more concrete rust in the metal. So, more detail work about some fragments with most intense rust. But it is not a lot of this kind. And go to other side. And, I am doing all of these right now. Also, I clean from rust all the details of the computer itself. It is about metal holders. Connectors. And, I need to wash from a rust plastic case. And I do this too.
Main thing, that all the things are going. And I have some things to say about. Rust is going away with a special tool. And it is rubbed off. With a rag, and metal brush. This tool - it is a special sourness. Which is need to cover a metal. And depending on mark of this tool. Later, you need to wait about 20-30 min. And, then to rub. You can to put in a water some rag. And to rub too. It is about a technique. It depends on certain rust spot. More concrete into metal rust – metal brush. More big layer of rust – too. And what is more easy - you can easily to do with a little rag. After this special thing.
And this way you need to do a several attempts. Everything is going good. It is even more joy! It is so nice, when there is something that you can do good!
And, by the way, it is still have some moments. So, mainly, metal case is in normal state. And rust eats some places absolutely to the hole. At some parts there are holes out of rust. That’s why, mainly, it is normal. About 90s percent. It is a places, where rust eat all the metal - it is hole, or very light surface of metal. And it is fragile and can tear apart or break apart even because of touch. There is such a moment.
Plastic part of the case – it is everything normal about this. It is just good to rub out of rust, which is inside plastic. Process is going on. It is good to rub and rub, as I can to say!
About the details. It is more harder. Some metal construction parts, grille, connectors are in a hard condition. They are covered with intense rust surface. I, partially, rub them. But, I need to more rub. Some details are very uncomfortable to rub. Or some place a metal part is tearing apart, even this can to happen. Some bracings.
It is some danger about a hard drive and power adapter. Hard drive has a heavy cover of rust. Power adapter too. I can rub it. And will they work – it is a question. Hard drive makes less sense to me. It is in better condition. And I can change it. There is some way. And power adapter. In some places he tears apart during cleaning. And, it still has a heavy rust. So, it is still not the final collapse of construction. And inside it is ok state. But, as my brother told me, we need to see it next.
And most big question it is power adapter. I do not know what to change it with. And there are some possibilities, that I will need to do it. And brother told me, that metal can be increased. But, first it is good to clean the rust as good as I can. And it is rather real process! And I am doing it, from time to time, at the country house! At the excellent summer weather or more refreshing evening time. And, I take on a gas mask! To have defense from a metal dust!
It will be very interesting to continue to restore this interesting computer. And for now – I need to continue to clean from a rust. Process takes its time, I do attempts. I cover metal with tool from a rust. I wait up to 30 min. Then start to rub for some time. And next I do repeat, again and again. So, it takes normal time.
Anyway, it is so nice to be at the country house at summer. And to have such a project. Something like some programmers has their pet project. Pet it is goes after some house animal. As I get it. Such a project for interest. So, I have mine one! And I am right now program with Basic. And I have such retro computer old one as a project! And summer - it is just fine!
iron (hardware) and programs. From time to time i restore computers, retro computers. Try retro soft. Check some programs. And write about all of these. Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

chili peppers round two!! hopefully these grow better than the last :)
i also picked up a broken bit of an eastern cottonwood tree so we'll see how that grows indoors! I'll give it to someone/somewhere in the fall so it can winter properly ;3;;
on a more personal note i think for the first time ever my meds are working! didn't even know i've been depressed for 15 years! lol. i might start putting other creative projects up on this blog bc tbh writing and digital art are just two of so many different things I am interested in :) i like plants, i want to learn to paint, want to start DIY-ing my place, sewing, leatherworking, quilting, fiber arts, so much!! idk what my art will even be like now :) ig we'll see in july at the latest!
#^-^ i am slowly redoing my hardware lol#and i think i can figure out how to sand prime and paint cabinets. i can do it#thihnking of guerrilla gardening my building's front plant area too!!#plants#i think my creativity is actually coming back since it disappeared when i was a kid#will have to Wait and SeeTM tho

Moon being an older model with darker, clunkier head fins and no eye lights, minimised of many unnecessary aesthetic bullshit but still sporting the calm, futuristic Blue evoking imagery of software in our time & the prominence of Blue in our computers' designs. The very naming of Moon, of Big Sister Moon, as if she were high above the very people who made her, of great importance and potential with even higher expectations, here to lead her people to their ultimate conveniences and incoming salvation.
Pebbles, the newest known model, being bright fucking pink and yellow and orange, with his dainty little ear thingamajigs and glowing eyes, named after only a handful of the cutest of stones.
#ikildaman shut the fuck up#rainworld#cant stop thinking how Moon is an older computer designed with futurism and convenience and sleek professionalism in mind#while pebbles is like if a modern smartdevice had the body of a kawaii little robot#there could be something to be said about NSH's role in the story & being reminiscent of the green of our computers hardware#i am just pulling all this out of my ass though. scratches chin#their designs in rainworld really are so simple but they work so so so well. theyre really really good#even the naming schemes showing how much time has passed. how the societies changed between building these two. god#the iterators used to be the next Big Thing they used to be The Answer. by the time pebbles came along it was business as usual.....
