tell me, what makes a human?
#ffxiv gpose#ffxiv screenshots#ffxiv oc#gifs.#first official gpose of the yearrr#this is for kirke's no. 1 fan (thefreelanceangel)#this is the only time i'm glad for the blurriness. it adds to the creepiness of it and how you can't /exactly/ see what you're looking at#these were meant to be still images since it was vertical but i had the idea of doing a gif like i did for hector#kinda hard to see as a result but open for full size#so kirke's new lore centers around transhumanism. i'm currently redoing it and she's. this now#kirke's technically not 'human' anymore. she's a cluster of sentinent allagan nanites (made by amon) who takes over the brains of the dead#to combat decomposition she's been adding cyberkinetic addons to it overtime because she likes this body#it's hard to tell but her torso down to her pelvis has been replaced. no more flesh#'but kirke why not just make a new body from scratch?' where's the fun in that#and similar to yves she needs aether to animate her body; but instead of needing aether for consumption she uses it as a 'battery' to move#since she's a big cloud of nanites if she runs out of aether she will more or less 'die'#and it takes a lot more aether to move a dead body it takes less power to animate a robot body#she's like a deranged energizer bunny#it's not surprising that yves and kirke ended up together. he's her own charger#also didn't use her normal hair here because her eyes are integral#body horror cw#glitch cw#flashing cw#q.#mygposes.

New Year Shop Update~
Hiya! I put some of my prints and stickers from GalaxyCon up on the shop :'> So, y'know, if you've ever wanted some of my art that wasn't buttons and can't make it to the conventions I table, now you can haha
https://www.etsy.com/shop/ryuichifoxe
The prints are glossy 5x7 because I'm not ready to deal with trying to mail the 11x17 posters just yet. In the future, maybe.
#I'm going in for surgery next monday because my heart defib battery needs replacing#so I'm updating some shop stuff for a little extra cash while I recover#I'm fine though! It was gonna happen this year regardless#I just won't be able to use my left arm for a week or two haha#shop update#ryu talks about stuff and things#finally gonna play bg3 on my downtime this month#varric tethras#bg3

New game interest unlocked
(crow in bottom right belongs to @patchwork-crow-writes)
#ramarl#phantasy star online#long tag warning lol i rambled#so i was introduced to phantasy star online#i think its safe to say i really enjoy the game#thank you mr crow for showing me this game :D i have new creatures to scribble now#there shall be more of these doodles#i promise you that#meant to post this wayyyyy earlier today but uh#my car broke down :') ....again :')#last week it wouldn't turn on and the headlights weren't working so we were like ''ok this is a battery issue and i need a new one''#because jumping the car didnt fix it#so we took my old battery to a shop and they tested its charge before showing us which new one we should get#but the battery had charge???????? so we went back home to troubleshoot#and then found the hooks(?idk what they're called) that connected the battery to the car had something corroded on them#so we grabbed a can of coke and scrubbed away#hooked the battery back up and bam car was working#so the issue was those hooks#until two days ago when my car didnt work again#looked at the battery again and the hooks came loose; tightened them up and bam car working again#and now at this point I'm scared to go anywhere cause what if i get stranded on my own??#so this morning i said ''alright I'm gonna drive myself to church just to be sure that my car works''#AND WOULD YOU GUESS WHAT HAPPENED#at this point i just wish the damn battery was dead and that i could replace it and move on from this#i know they're a bit pricey but jesus this is exhausting#but i can't just buy a new battery if im not sure that's the actual problem because then I'd have a battery and nothing to do with it#i hate having a car sometimes i just want a bus system#or a jeep#but preferably a bus system#sorry rambles thats a long way of saying i didnt post this earlier because ive been working on my car lol

Just a quick heads up: I won't be posting the usual progress report for this week. Life's been busy and I haven't gotten much done. Sorry about that everyone, but I'll be back for next week unless something crazy happens! Hope y'all had a good one! 😊💕
#redo; rewind if#ahhh this past week i swear#nothing bad happened or anything#just a lot of stuff going on at the same time alongside my brain being in a small depression fog i get sometimes#my laptop has also been a bit fucky#the battery needs to replaced but i do not currently have the money for that#plus it isn't the removable 'just push this switch' kind of laptop battery#it's the 'you have to unscrew and take shit out' type which i can do but sucks majorly and i am putting that off as long as possible

Myka: Somehow I don’t think Artie will be convinced but know that I support your pursuit for hazard pay, one hundred and ten percent…
Helena: I had very few doubts.
Myka: …even as your room sits completely sealed off with caution tape from the last explosive idea you had.
Helena: Hm. I suddenly have a couple extra doubts.
#bering and wells#dickens draws#endless wonder wives#bwoodles#everyday i’m bwoodlin’#well every other day#once a week#lol whenever i feel like it#good news is that i’m not doom scrolling twitter#and in fact rarely even open the app except to fuss about my car#which to be honest is an extremely absurd situation that random makes me very mad because what can i do about it#haven’t had my car for two and a half months only for them to say it might get totaled out#because they can’t fix a cosmetic scratch on the undercarriage without replacing the batteries#the most ridiculous thing ever and i keep asking them why this piece needs to be replaced to begin with#they barely have answers and every new question requires a week of research and phone calls that no one answers#just give me my car back ya ding dongs

okay for y'all not aware (how?) i am a giant nerd. and love yugioh. for the last couple days i have been playing masterduel on my laptop and just getting slayed by bitches with insane combos?? (i love it i am not good at it there's a difference)
so i just dug out my old PSP hoping to play my yugioh game on that (it's only verses NPCs, who i can actually beat lol)
but the battery is swollen and dead and wahhhhhhhhhh
i have had this console since i was twelve. i have been afraid to try and turn it on for like five years. and now ;-;
#wahhh nobody talk to me im so sad#i hope i can get a replacement battery and that the psp itself isn't fucked up.#luckily the battery didn't leak!#but when i opened the psp's case the back cover popped off and the battery was just Out#like i have no idea how long it's been fucked up like that because i have not played it in years#but i hope it's okay#i will die if not TwT#i need to play yugioh on a teensy screen TwT#anyway...#good morning i guess:')#diaerie

i don’t have a single device for which the charger works perfectly and not to sound like a boomer but i feel like that is. pretty indicative of Where We’re At Technologically
#mine#phone needs a Specific Angle and it’s not a cord problem bc it does this with literally 4 different cords#ereader is on such a lag that it takes 6 minutes to realize it’s actually been plugged in#laptop is just. fucked up#it’s become a hassle to use literally anything#and yet. this is what we’re supposed to prefer#the thing that drives me crazy is that we’re all supposed to use these different devices for everything#and no one cares about the quality#my laptop charger died last week. it feels impossible to find a replacement#i found a refurbished one and it doesn’t actually work#guess im going to have to spend $50 to buy the Officially Licensed Replacement Cord#and with my ereader. i literally don’t know what the problem is#i barely use it#i think it’s just Because i barely use it so it wastes the battery on the screensaver bc it’s like. impossible to completely turn it off#so when i don’t touch it for 4 months it’s actually super duper dead when i plug it in#which is. i’m gonna be honest. equally annoying#my switch is the only thing that actually works and even that’s on its second cord in three years#it’s just. planned obsolescence is EVERYWHERE#all of these devices still feel brand new to me. and yet

I hate how difficult it is to replace phone batteries nowadays. I'm reading a guide for my phone and it's over 30 steps, requires no less than 10 specialized tools, and looks like performing surgery. You used to be able to just slide the back off to pop the batteries in and out like a remote
#we literally used to be able to take the batteries out of our phones as a troubleshooting measure#and if your old battery was dying the replacement was literally just as easy as 1) buy new battery 2) put it in#but bc these companies feel the need to wring every last dollar out of us they no longer want to allow us to fix our own shit 🙃#theyve set it up so we're forced to go to their stores and pay them to do it for us instead#...and then if i go there with my 5+ year old phone theyre probably gonna tell me they dont support it anymore and i need to buy a new one#but luckily with the combined power of believing in ourselves and spiting corporations we can accomplish great things#take my hand. lets learn self serve repair together#rambling

i'm fixing a switch pro controller my sister gave me in a nonfunctional state, but it turned out to be fake so now i'm basically just building a switch pro controller from scratch because the fake parts aren't compatible with actual real switch pro replacement parts
#i replaced the motherboard with an OEM refurb but it turns out that the original (fake) one is using a different ribbon cable size#so now i need to replace the daughterboard for compatibility#and the battery and casing already were damaged and in need of replacement#so this is just. a whole ass controller#being built from scratch#look i just spent an hour and a half soldering i'm seeing this through to the end

guy was gonna drop by yesterday at 11h to fix a problem with our solar panel installation and just now, today at 15h30, he actually visits
#i was like#you were slotted for yesterday#he just 'didn't know'#i do not like visits unprepared my dude#but anyway there's a problem with our meter and it'll need replacement#we take power from the panels just fine and the battery loads just fine#but in the evening we take power from the net instead of from our full battery#fr

Recent ones of these even though they all look the same lol.. forcing myself to document progress..
#I can average like 2500 words a day for a while and then something gets in the way and I don't write for a week or something#which then sort of erases my previous Doing Good At Keeping Up With It lol.. but... alas#Still moving slowly forward...#There's a 'community board' place in game where you can go to look at a few things and some of whats there is little 'odd jobs' the player#can do for a little extra coin (since you can buy items in the game/might need coin).#Thhough of course since it's just interactive fiction/visual novel it's not like... actual minigames or something. Just like..#mini stories of your character going places and doing stuff and having some interactions with the other places in the world#Like for example since modern refrigerators don't exist in this world one of the odd jobs you can do is help with doing ice deliveries#or there's one odd job where you assist a guy recharging the city's main bell tower/time keeping place by helping him go around and replace#the iriminel crystals (kind of like magical batteries - stones that are able to store energy that way and be used to fuel passive#enchantments). or one where you help food prep for the cooks at a nearby automat. etc. etc.#Just little short things to get a better glimpse of how the wider city is outside of just interacting with the main characters. plus earn#a tiny bit of coin. Though because they're so short there's not really branching paths or anything much for choices beyond#usually an optional dialogye menu where you can talk to the person you're working with and ask them personal#or work related questions if inclined to do so. It'd be cool if they were more in depth but.......erugh...#I have so much writing left to do already lol.. Also since it's really just to get money I could have just had them#all be like a single sentence of 'you go here and you do this all day then you come home. + 15 coins. yaay' and thats all#So maybe it's a middle ground to elaborate upon them at all. Just enough extra details to maybe be a little interesting#like ''ooh my character is in a little cart riding through the misty morning forest on their way to deliver ice'' . but also not so much#that it takes away time from like... the literal actual main game lol#ANYWAY. That's what all these are. There are like 10 optional little world exploring/job things you can do. and each I guess seem to be#about 2.500 words ish. That's including the optional chatting menus though. but still. reasonable for a little side thing I guess.#I got finished with one character's quests and stuff so I decided to take a break to work on some of the other little things like the Odd#Jobs and the 8 characters you can find around the world to have short conversations with that aren't actual main characters either. etc.#Then I shall return back to the Main Actual Things. ... augh...... still so much to do...#Which I could also just cut everything extra out but... idk.. since it's mostly all text I feel the need to give more options to flesh out#the actual setting somehow. Since in a 3D game you can walk around and explore the world and stuff. And of course there#are pictures. but it would take me infinitely longer to do detailed art of so much of the entire city youre in or etc. So i guess my versio#of still having some amount of ''exploration'' is just.. set up optional paths where more of the world can at least be Described.#You can't actually walk through a 3d orchard. or an elaborate bell tower. or an elven shrine. But you can Read About being in them LOL

i swear if i have to take my car battery out for charging one more time... i will cry
#yesterday i took it out for charging. charged it full. put it back. my car started. today? not starting#i dont want to take it out againn it's heavy and scary#im convinced it will explode at any given moment#i hope the battery is just broken bc i know how to replace that#if its anything else im ready to give up#i wish i could get electricity anywhere near my car so i wouldnt have to take the battery out to charge it alas#im sure its the battery though#i havent changed it and ive had my car for... at least 5 years? probably 6#and idk when the previous owner last changed it either#leevi talks#ok im going to be brave and eat and then measure its charge and stuff and hope the levels are something that tells me i need to change it#anything to not have to go to a mechanic

Sometimes I do wonder what impression people get about Gintama from my blog
#mobbtalks#I’m out here reblogging whatever and I’m sure the structure of gintama itself Does Not Help#it’s shit like oh shit the main character got abducted by aliens in his sleep but they only replaced his penis with a screwdriver#because they’re tryna play monster hunter but their console’s battery died and they need a screwdriver to open it#and they’ve just been abducting people and doing this in an attempt to find the right screwdriver#and then it’s shit like from the very beginning the revolution is inevitable. shigeshige was a good man and what happened to him was#inevitable. you’ll spend three hundred episodes laughing at goofs and gaffs and then#with all the momentum of an avalanche#the revolution is here and people are dying. good people. bad people. good people trying to be bad. bad people trying to be good.#a man eats a meal so destroyed with varius hot sauces that he will. in the next episode. shit himself in the middle of crucial negotiations.#it’s so good at tonal whiplash and also at making me cry

YALL. MOST RIDICULOUS SIZED FUCKING BATTERY THAT WE DO NOT HAVE. SO WE CANT REPLACE IT RN.#istg istG#THERES NO REASON THAT THESE THINGS CANT BE MORE UNIVERSALLY SIZED#BATTERIES WALL PLUGS PHONE AND LAPTOP CHARGERS AND PORTS#CONSISTENCY *ESPECIALLY* ESPECAILY ESPECIALLY FOR SHIT THAT IS IMPORTANT AND CAN BE LIFE SAVING LIKE THIS#WHY ARE THERE SO MANY STUPID DIFFERENCES FOR NO REASON oh good the devils lettuce has hit me praise be thank fuck#SMOKE DETECTOR<<<<thats what theyre called i rememebered ik it was smth different#anyways#just me#smoke detector#no muscle memory this ones not goin in queue jail for 2 months it is free
