Last year I became aware of Silverstone's awesome retro FLP01 PC case and I managed to secure one earlier this week after their initial limited release! There is still some stock left for North America from the Central Computers online store. They shipped out my case the same day too! More cases are coming in March but Central Computers has bought the remaining stock for their store for now. They are selling extremely well in NA. The case originally started as an April Fool's joke but the demand for the retro aesthetic was understimated! Silverstone decided to do a limited release to test the waters now. The pseudo floppy disk compartment is where you put the optical drive.
I'm going to build a mini Linux system for media using the case and my old PC parts. I have a really solid AM4 system to put in here and I'm only missing a smaller GPU and a traditional air cooler! Finding a decent and affordable GPU to fit in the case has been my biggest challenge so far, as my old Red Devil is out of the question for fitting in. This will be my first PC I attempt to build all by myself so let's hope I don't blow anything up.
Idk which Linux distro I will use but you can let me know which one you like most! I'm fairly new to Linux but want to get used to it more.
I also made an experimental shortstack body for my other OC but that one is a bit of a mess and somehow the butt reset itself to 0 and I didn't realize it. I will make it less jagged and round some other time. The 3D models are really helpful but take a long time to fiddle with!
I also bought a Stickybones figure but it's on backorder and taking ages to arrive. They are the best armatures for artists but they are a skeleton, so I still can't see how muscles actually move. The Clip Studio models help with that.
This year, I am finally working on my art more! I'm having trouble with muscles and the way they move. I bought a good book about anatomy some time ago but because I'm dyslexic and have ADHD, it's very hard for me to read it at all. I also had this issue in school. me retarded.
I started to use the 3D model feature in Clip Studio! I made this pudgy body for my OC after realizing the original torso was too slim.
What do you guys think of the model? I have not drawn over the pudgy body yet. The original torso I drew was too slim!
As of right now, version 205.15 of Discord has the old UI and it works for me. You can get an APK for it. That version comes with a bigger font but it can be disabled by going into the Appearance settings. Disable auto updates for your apps.
Good luck!
I was just made aware of this new report category that was added on Twitter/X.
The site is going full anti now and allowing people to report cartoons that look like "minors". Yup, Twatter is going to start asking for ID of your fictional characters and equating drawings to the crime of actual child abuse. This should be unsurprising to anyone but if you're an artist of lolisho works or even smaller characters in general, you should be extremely careful. Now any retard that doesn't like you can report. My suggestion is keep previews on Twatter if you still intend on using it but signal to people that the full version is available off-site.
The hell site has been on a downward spiral and becoming sanitized and boring now more than ever.
I love how Devin Townsend manages to always bring back bits of Strapping Young Lad in some of his recent years songs. I've caught up on his latest releases this week and his Dimensions track is definitely sounding like it would belong in an SYL album!

I do prefer his heavier stuff but he's my favorite musician so I support whatever he puts out. He has commented before that his voice is getting harder to force into heavier vocals as he ages. To me, the man still has a beautiful voice. Even when he's "not screaming his balls off" (he said this during one of his live albums lol).
I got to meet him back in 2020, where he signed my Deconstruction album. I've admired him for over 15 years at this point, so meeting him was surreal! He's so humble, too. I probably had come across as weird but I was way too excited about meeting him!
ひよこ組 (Hiyokokumi) dolls, the maker of my life-size doll of my OC Elegos, has some amazing updates regarding their handmade dolls!
You can now pay for a toy skeleton service for all dolls. A skeleton allows the doll to pose better. All previous dolls made my them can also be sent back for a toy skeleton installation! The skeleton can be installed for a fee.
They are now also accepting orders of girl dolls up to 150cm! You can now directly order a girl doll by contacting them on their Twitter (or Mercari.jp page; more on this below). Previously, only male and smaller unisex dolls were being accepted for orders on the Hiyokokumi account.
If you do not use Twitter, they have now also opened up a Mercari.jp page for buying. You can order from there, too. You will have to be knowledgeable of how to order products from Japan.

The representative speaks English if you contact them directly from Twitter and I think this is the better option for English speakers, in my opinion.
Also, I have been mispronouncing the name this entire time as "Hiyokogumi". 🫠 You can thank Google translate for that!
Your daily mischief maker! I'm drawing my
OCs! I'm posting more on my Misskey server nowadays but some posts about what I'm up to and art will get renoted to here from my server, too.
