Throwing the Tempête Magnetique in there sure makes things more interesting, still only the Ericasynth Plasma Drive as sound source, but using one of Pam’s trigger to modulate the filter gives me sound variety

Today finally solved 2 of my bigest modular problems, a) what to do with the #Ericasynth PlasmaDrive, b) how to get some rhythmic stuff going, the solution is easy and I could kick myself for not trying it earlier, but Pam’s Workout -> PlasmaDrive gives me exactly what I was looking for #eurorack

RPS asked me to write about DLSS5, the "neural rendering" tech that Nvidia have been crowing about, that uses generative AI techniques to replace rendered graphics. I wrote about framerates, fakery, and how you seize control of an industry.

The systems are slowly coming together. It's rudimentary but it already works for a couple of seconds :) #ggj

Best of luck to everyone participating in the #GlobalGameJam this week, we're rooting for you 🍀 Don't forget to share your work and tag us so we can see what you’re building! #Unity #GGJ26 #MadeWithUnity @globalgamejam.bsky.social

Found out really early that I love dressing to tell a story often one to make people smile, I don’t know why it took me so long to see clearly that I should do the same when planning my craft, I did this unconsciously, but even if my inspiration books told me so, it is as if I couldn’t lean into it

Now that I do things got much easier, its not about clothes anymore, about practicality, which is still important, but always lead to boring projects, that seemed too much work when I could just buy these basics, now its about the story I tell myself during the making & will make the pieces special

Aka its the time in the decade again where I habe to reevaluate stuff (I mean literal stuff not life choices) and find ways to get rid of it, replace broken or not functioning stuff with better solutions, I have Ikea drawers that are 15 yers old, they were not made for the heavy load I put on them

Going from I will never buy USM furniture to I need some USM for my studio/office, because all the knock-offs are not working long term, will try to source as much as I can second hand, actually would probably not mind some random colors thrown in

I just pushed v0.18.1 of SuperSonic to both GitHub and npm. This feels pretty much like a v1 release. I'm holding off tagging it as such as I want to give it more time to bake and subject it to some serious usage. Please take a look and let me know what you think. sonic-pi.net/supersonic/d...

In music trying to find out what Expert Sleepers Disting NT can do, everything I know, its Lua programmable, but seriously this thing is a powerhouse, never thought about using eurorack for a performance, but with the Disting NT I could probably put together a minimal mobile setup

Tested this Gelli plate thingy, it fun, its almost relaxing, because you have to step away from time to time to let it dry, so time for coffee, I am most hyped about using it to print on old jeans scraps to upcyle them into a jacket

Today after some long years actually had to type stuff in the Windows terminal window again, neither my gaming nor Unity require it, I had to look the commands up and I started with DOS, but years of Linux and quasi Linux aka Mac will do that to you, installed WSL ASAP

Using #Vosis on the iPhone, an app that synthesizes greyscale pixels, sonified one of my #databending images, its a new find, turned out better than expected, will have to investigate #looptober

Have 10 min of recording of nothing much happening, but as a proof that I did something, this is my #looptober non-contribution, its frustrating how much I can’t make my #eurorack work, but I am stubborn, at least there is a cheerful yellow to look at

Slowly working on my modular to get interesting sounds out, yes I can program most of it, yes there are modular simulators on computers, but sometimes I just want to use cables and turn knobs, even if it is frustrating at the moment, since I have to learn my modules #eurorack

Just a reminder that I am about to complete my Phd in Procedural Content Generation, and I am looking for a job :') I have about 5 years of experience as a programmer in AA and AAA studios, I worked on custom engines, Unity, and Unreal. I can work full time, part time, as a consultant, anything!

I am regularly accused of paranoia, when I don't trust in software solutions from any company and have a local backup system that works on Mac and Windows, so now that Dropbox closes its password service, my backup system of 20 years is still up and running

Finally found out the right paper to make watercolor markers work, the best paper is the 300g/m2 Talens Van Gogh Mixed Media paper. It has structure and the Watercolor does not sink in immediately and can be worked and mixed with water.

The Talens Pantone pen has the most marker like color palette, which is good if you don’t want to mix colors all the time and dries fairly water resistant, the Sennelier are unwieldy and hard to work with don't recommend.

Have a love hate relationship with phthalo blue, it's strong, vibrant and non-toxic, but it also taints other colors easily, and it's hard to mix the phthaloness out of it, this is equally true for phthalo green and nowadays, you have to be careful to find non-phthalo blues #watercolor #art #acrylic

Me It's ok to just take one #fountainpen with me on vacation for #drawing (no I am not good at it, but I will try), I now own one more #KawecoSport the only reliable pen that works, always, cartridge in, one pump and yay ink, no fuss, no prep, and it will still work after a year of not using it

Bought some black acrylic markers to experiment, not happy with the Edding ones, they are too transparent, but the Kreul Triton XXL and the Posca PC-7M are excellent, also the Pigment Realbrush I found by accident in my local art store Boesner

Look guys its nice if you ask me, if you can help me, even if I suspect that you only do so, because I am a woman and you would trust an other guy to manage, but if I say no I mean no and you should move on and NOT start to help anyway, especially do NOT touch my stuff or stand in my way
