MPD + Cantata
For the most part I just lump all my music into one playlist regardless of album or genre, but day to day I also use several different computers, and I find MPD to be the best for syncing configurations across all of them. Cantata also allows me to see album artwork and track information really easily and has good touchscreen support compared to terminal-based MPD clients.

Still rocking a salvaged IBM X61 here! Got me through high school and it’s getting me through college. Makes an excellent no-distractions writing machine, sometimes I also use it as a second display for reference images when I’m doing art

It means “tail” in Chinese, which apparently is also pronounced “wei,” so I thought it’d be fitting

Thanks! He moved overseas after the dynasty got overthrown, and has played for a few underground punk bands and worked in several family-run ethnic restaurants. He also runs a blog that, like, maybe three people read. So basically he’s me but cooler haha

Looks so cozy!

Thanks! I didn’t think to use google lens, but after a quick search there I got the same results as you—Raketa Perpetual Calendar. Seems like I found myself an unusual model.

It’s actually just a regular full-length novel but with illustrations to supplement various scenes

I have some more illustrations and previews for my novel on my website, but otherwise I’m still in the writing stage and not sure where to publish. I did recently set up a Mastodon account on mastodon.art though (there’s a link to it in my profile), so any updates on my projects will probably go there

Absolutely splendid, this is going in my art reference folder

Proud owner of both an iPod classic and an iPod Shuffle! I use both on the daily in order to avoid being on my phone too much.

Children of Time?

Ah, brings back memories of the Heaven’s Stairway incident back in May 2021. Fun times

TF2 mentioned

This artwork is gorgeous! All the bright colours make me feel nice and fuzzy. Not sure if making an animated movie for C&H is the best move though, IIRC Bill Watterson didn’t want it adapted

hell yeah I love airships

vintage sci-fi vibes. nice shot!

Damn that’s very poetic, instead of bringing the rover home we eventually brought home to it

I’m an art school student who writes creative fiction and messes around with old electronics, so I wouldn’t really say I have a technical background. Work-wise I’ve mostly just done art/editing commissions or taught at studios. I’m just kind of tired of mainstream social media so I’m taking refuge in the Fediverse, and I’m liking it a lot so far
