Mr. Byte

Time for an introduction thread! My name is Mr. Byte and I'm a software developing, game playing sea turtle vtuber and Twitch chat cryptid. Design by @yoclesh.bsky.social Rigging by @leerbag.bsky.social Model by Yuniiho PFP by @keluxart.bsky.social Profile banner by JawnSilva

Been having so much fun with WoW Forever. I even tanked for the first time in my 30 years playing MMOs and I loved it.

Want to go on a magical adventure with Lysi?

Live view of me regaining my powers.

The WoW Forever announcement caused my aging decrepit desiccated millennial corpse of a body to regenerate. I now only have a tiny bit of knee pain.

Hey all! I've been made aware that VHUD beta invites went into many people's spam folders. If you signed up, but haven't seen a beta invite please check your spam folder!

Planning future streams on stream today twitch.tv/mrbyte

I feel bad that I'm seemingly "disappearing" from a lot of communities on Twitch. I know I've been less active in many ways, but some of it has been because I've been busy healing physically and mentally from a rough 2023-2024. I keep trying my best to show up though. 💚

Found the motivation to work on my homebrew setting and I'm happy with the way it's evolving. That said, my fascination with neoplatonist philosophy is showing.

When you have a need for someone who can draw an occult illuminated manuscript page, but everyone you know is skilled in anime booba. 😭

The urge to run a homebrew Starfinder 2e campaign on stream 😬

Been clenching my teeth so much that I cracked the roots of tooth I had a root canal performed on years ago. Now I have to get the tooth extracted. 😬

Hope you all have been doing well. Sorry I've been so quiet lately. Just been busy. 💜

Your average TTRPG GM be like, "Behold! My knowledge of the English language is vast and immense! I will now proceed to use rare words to describe the scene at hand." and I love it.

Tried to buy a new capture card from Amazon. It came in an already open box, covered in return stickers, and some sort of sticky substance. 💀 Anyway, found it at Microcenter for $20 cheaper.

I’ve managed to lose 20 lbs. since Christmas and it feels good. Still so much I need to do to get my health in a better place, but it’s so nice to see progress.

Sorry I've been radio silent lately, just been kind of busy and unmotivated to post.

New intrusive ad format idea for Twitch: Every hour, a big d20 is rolled on your stream. If it lands on a 1, Dan Clancy will appear in your stream room to loudly do an ad read over the top of whatever you're trying to do.

I'm getting the urge to create TTRPG content again

Been making good progress on my health. I'm back to walking almost every day and my blood tests have all been great lately. Work has been keeping me busy, but it's nice to be hands on keyboard again.

Being a coffee snob is spending $100 on beans, $200 on a kettle, $4000 on a grinder and then using a $20 piece of plastic to brew the coffee.

Wanted to stream today, but I needed to get some work on VHUD out of the way and I'll be honest... VHUD is the exact type of overly-technical, boring coding I'm afraid of streaming. Tomorrow, I'm gonna be a silly lil' guy and stream Hytale

Sometimes I like to post long lists of keywords in large Discords to fish for the bots, so I can report them to the server owner.

Pretty excited, managed to make some progress on untangling my handrolled DirectX 11 renderer for VHUD, which hopefully makes it easier to port to Linux and macOS in the future

Extra lazy

The past year had a lot of ups and downs and my overall health was in a rough spot. This year has been off to a much better start though. Just had my best blood test results in years and I've got a few projects finally moving forward that I'm excited to share soon.

Hoping to open closed beta applications for VHUD soon. It'll still have a very limited feature set, but I'd love to get more people actively using and testing it.
