#Introduction time! Hi, I'm syl - I'm an autistic vtuber from New Zealand! I enjoy a pretty eclectic mix of video games - all sorts of genres and all sorts of vibes, from chill and cozy to downright stressful.

I also draw, read a bunch, and sew occasionally.

Nice to meet you all!
Clarification: I'm not just generically looking for more people to follow or more interesting content.
I want to follow people I already interact with here on bsky. If we like each others posts and occasionally comment or DM, it would be super poggers to do that with you on mastodon instead.
If any of you guys have mastodon, please lmk your handle! 🙏 I've been spending a lot more time over there.

My bsky feeds are like 85% angry people and promo (self or otherwise) these days, I'm kind of over it. It's bad mental hanging out here.

Since I didn't know it was a thing until this morning by total accident, YouTube has added not one but *two* voice "enhancements," Stable Volume and Voice Boost, that can really muck up the audio on videos. Here's the info and how to turn them off: support.google.com/youtube/answ...

I walked into the kitchen intending to have a healthy, well-balanced breakfast, and walked out with a bowl of instant ramen.

Gonna be one of those days

Update to my pomodoro timer project! It's much easier and more intuitive to use now! 🎉 Plus custom sound alerts!

I still don't consider this to be ready for general release so I'm not publicly uploading it anywhere just yet, but if you'd like to give it a try just let me know!

This has been on my mind a lot over the last week, especially coming into pride month. I think I need to stop sweeping my gender identity under the rug all the time
Guys I forgot I can identify as a dad instead of a mom, the brainwashing is so real

bsky I am missing random notifications, stop vibe-coding your shit

(Gentle) reminder that mastodon exists 📢

It has a lot of features that bsky/twt users say they want, I'm honestly confused that so few bother to try it tbh. Then again there are still people using twitter and reddit despite them being bot cesspits now so the inertia is very real ig.

Looking for playtesters for Renaine this weekend, 3 - 6 hour commitment (it's only a part of the game)

I have some rules to avoid bias:

- We can't be friends (pls help spread the word if you are!)
- You can't be a fan of the game

If that sounds like you, comment here!

I just put so much cheese sauce on my potatoes that my snack is now essentially a soup and I think that's beautiful

Oh I got some good ones for you.

-If you hate everyone, eat something. If you hate yourself, take a shower. If everyone hates you, go to bed.
-Never make any important choices after 9PM
-Never believe anything you think about yourself after 10PM.
-They’re not evil, just stupid. I promise. 🧵
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

You have the right as a human being to make art.

That includes art that is not perfect.

That includes art that is not good.

Fully recommend getting a pet neurotypical for your group chats, they are so cute when they get confused.

(make sure it's domesticated though)
