I found this mockup I drew a few years ago for a platformer. I spent a whole week just on two 8x8 tiles of ground. I really like the result, but I couldn’t finish the game concept, so I dropped the project.

Look, these’re two Nintendo Switch OLEDs. On the photo, the UK one is on top, and the HK one is underneath it. What’s the difference? Look closely, the UK one has a pre-installed screen protector, while the HK one doesn’t.
Now, I wonder if any US or JP OLEDs have a pre-installed screen protector.

How many images/sprites do you think I used to create this interface for my visual novel? Zero!
Everything’s drawn in code. This helped me achieve flexible sizes for text blocks. So I can put any text in the block and it will be rendered without any visual glitches.

Remember when Western Digital bought HGST (Hitachi’s HDD division)? I had a bunch of WD and HGST HDDs back then because they were used in the ThinkPad and ThinCentre lines.
Did you notice anything? They are identical! Only the stickers and names are different.

The switches are mounted on a thick metal plate. The plate is simply sandwiched between two plastic parts of the case. So when I quickly press hotkeys, the plate makes a loud metallic noise, which can be quite annoying.

Just noticed that I haven’t posted my first mechanical keyboard here, even though it’s on my profile banner.
This’s the Leopold FC660M with MX Cherry Blue switches, thick PBT plastic and double shot keycaps.

This’s my #traditional #art, and I look up to #pixelart artists as gods.
Seriously, I don’t understand how you all fit a piece of art into a few pixels.

And finally I printed info about the video part of Miyoo Mini.
It has 4096 KB of video memory and 2D hardware acceleration, but what about the driver name? Normally the SDL_VideoDriverName function returns x11, wayland, or windib, but I’ve never seen fbcon.

On the next step I printed some info in my little app for the Miyoo Mini, but it wasn’t easy.
As it turns out, SDL_ttf doesn’t have text wrapping functionality, which means any text rendering function will always print text on a single line without wrapping, similar to tabs in Exel.

So I had some work to do to figure out what’s wrong with my code.
The problem was that I placed both the rectangle and the text surfaces in a video mode surface, whereas a video mode surface can only contain one child.
The problem was only on the Miyoo Mini, while everything worked fine on the PC.

I wrote a small hello world for the Miyoo Mini handheld and it’s rendered upside down :/
Strange, although there’s an app with similar code and it’s rendered in the right way: github.com/zbtnot/hello-m…

Of course I’ve the New Dominion Tank Police anime on DVD. It has a Japanese audio and English subtitles, so I’m happy to have this copy.

I found this old sketch in my sketchbook. I wanted to make a fan poster for the New Dominion Tank Police anime, drew a few sketches and decided to drop the idea because of my drawing style.
I love the anime so much that I’m ready to make any fan arts based on it.

Yes, I often use references, especially when I’m drawing something I’ve never drawn before, but I don’t even think about how to draw, when I’m drawing something I’ve drawn many times, like this draft. It was an automated process of my hand.

I got preowned HHKB Pro 2 Type-S sliders with silencing rings, installed them in my black Pro 2 and omg, I didn’t expected such an effect. Keyboard noise is at least halved!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,755,451!
I’ve joined right before the beta ended, got few invite codes and I was like, okay, I have them but no one needs them anymore :D
