figure ill do an #introduction post for the new people to know who i am, i guess
im pretty much just your average thing online with social anxiety (im working on it) and i post about whatever's got my interest at the time, no consistency to be had here!
as for the more specific stuff, that's all in my bio and carrd, so go read those if you want!
IIt's important to note that Masto (and the fediverse) is not an 'alternative Twitter'. It's an entirely different platform that has its own unique culture. We don't chase likes or follows or popularity, we don't present as brands or 'personalities'. We care about each others' personal lives and wholesome engagement on a more individual level.
If you're going to use a Masto to Twitter crossposter, please keep this in mind, and ideally, cross post from here to there, and not there to here.
2022 mood
(I originally drew this in 2020 and named it "2020 mood" but you know, *vaguely gesticulates at everything*)

An #introduction.
I am @tychi. An internet artist.
I enjoy emerging mediums, which practically means i'm an technologist and anything that can evoke human emotion from a digital signal is my instrument.
My latest project is https://sillyz.computer. There's not much there, besides Silly, the keyboard kid and the private journals available on every 404 page.
I've built two tools for building my web things https://cutestrap.com and https://thelanding.page/tag. Some people think they're cool, which is nice, but they're mostly for me so it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks-- but I share them publicly so anyone can benefit from my progress.
Lately, I've been trying to learn formal programming methodologies less and music more. I've got hyperhidrosis which leads to playing music in live environments frustrating at best and impossible at worst-- so i've taken to synthetic instruments.
Ultimately, I would like to make indie games. I love that the medium encompasses so many disciplines into a single neat package. Writing, composing, illustrating, animating, programming all create beautiful simulations of worlds unfathomable.
But first, I'm surviving our collective dystopia-- participating in the fine balancing act of procuring food and shelter against satisfying the desires of our hearts.
im sad i can't find my old pokemon red cart anymore, im sure the battery is dead by now but id love to play it on real hardware again, it'd be fun to blaze through and break apart in under a day
a funny thing about growing up with a gameboy at the same time the DS was new is that i have nostalgia for pokemon gen 1 and 4, but have literally never cared for gen 2 or 3 since i didn't have either as a kid
a bonus as well, since im a complete nerd and somehow a professional at breaking every game i touch, i know almost every gen 1 glitch and most gen 4 glitches just because they were fun, because who wouldn't like to force a game to divide by zero and lock it up in normal gameplay?
twitter/elon musk question
a friend of mine is telling me musk backed out of the twitter deal all of a sudden, like today i think? i thought that it went through fully a couple days ago, anybody have any info on this?
i tried to find info on it myself but all the news articles showing up are either several days old so it's about the initial agreement, or it's just nonsense clickbait

Mastodonners.. This is Patch, the studio cat.
Patch loves nothing more than lying amidst the patch cables of a nice warm synth, or maybe stretching out across a vintage keyboard.
Despite appearances, Patch is 100% ruthless (Think Cato/Clouseau but with more scratchy violence)
The studio is hers, obvs, she just lets me use it, if I behave myself and turn on all the nice warm boxes.
Patch prefers ambient & cool jazz. Nothing too loud.
in another episode of “me trying to make things”
trying to make a darkrp derived gamemode based on aerolite
i have the exact code but obviously it’s not going to work
so i’m making custom jobs AS DIRECTED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS and using the original jobrelated.lua script as a base but somehow i’m getting weird ass errors that shouldn’t even be happening because the line of code itself it was talking about is from the original darkrp code.
i hate lua so much

My account is locked due to social anxiety & to keep my hidden posts actually hidden. In general if you aren't the type to judge others for what they enjoy I'll accept a follow request from you.
I avoid politics as much as possible online, it simply isn't good for my mental health, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk about it around me!
