A poor shopkeeper, digital artist and animator. Your shooting star. ✨ 【VGEN】 vgen.co/tamagotaho 【DONO】 https://ko-fi.com/tamagotaho

I had to slow down progress on comms this week since work needed me to suddenly design and pixel a bunch of monsters. Mistria portraits, revisiting a Godot project, animating a 2D stinger resumes tomorrow. ✨

Avoiding all caffeine today because I have to wake up really early tomorrow to prepare for some door repairs and I feel so sluggish and unfocused. 🥲

Happy Birthday to the awesome green gopher, @zikes.me! I didn't want to draw the usual circle of friends/vtubers this time so here's a bunch of other virtual streamers you follow and support. 💖

I've hinted at its existence a couple of times now, once with my 2025 showreel and my 2025 Twitter wrap-up, but here's the full MV cover of 'Buta Thunder' that I made for Mio last year. ✨ Hoping you're happy and healthy wherever you're at, Miori! 💖 #miorillust #animation

I celebrated my birthday a week ago and as a thank you to everyone that greeted me on Twitter, here's a bunch of thank you art to each of them. 💖

I was driving on the freeway this afternoon and was thinking of merging behind a truck on the other lane when I noticed one of its tires started smoking and came off like a projectile. Totally dodged a bullet right there (in the shape of a tire).

Despite all the Souls games I've played, none of them give me as much adrenaline as playing Burnout Paradise while Eurobeat is blasting in the background. 💧

New mouse arrives in three days, in the meantime I have to live without a properly functioning scroll wheel which I'm surprised affects me so much. 🥲

I was having problems with my mouse left click and read that it could be fixed if I spray the switch with some WD-40, and it worked! But I oversprayed a bit and I think I messed up my scroll wheel. 🥲

Sudden shock to hear a loud garbled noise after pressing my media play hotkey, turns out instead of Spotify it chose to play my Youtube tab of a Gears of War Lancer firing at .25x speed because I needed to study the muzzle flash for an animation. 💧

I impulsively bought a can of Sloppy Joes thinking it was like baked beans where everything was in the can ready to be cooked. I had no idea it was just sauce and I'm out of ground beef. 💧 I've clearly never had a Sloppy Joe sandwich before.

Almost bought the annual EX upgrade pass for Clip Studio until I remembered I could try an APNG converter to fix this strange artifacting problem Discord has with GIF stickers that have no anti-aliasing at their border.

Feeling a little better after slowing down a bit for the past few days and getting a bit more active again, I may have to observe my diet as well, maybe my lactose problems have gotten worse? Whatever the case, I continue to live. ✨

Tried removing my CPU's old thermal paste and accidentally got a bit on the pins. Cleaned it with a toothbrush dipped in alcohol and I'm hoping I got it all out or I've got one dead CPU in my hands. 🥲

Okay, I finally figured out why my CPU was frequently ramping up and it had to do with a deeply hidden CPU setting that required editing the registry to show up and disable. Now even if I rapidly bring up Spotify or scroll through something like ebay, my CPU temp stays in the mid 50s. ✨

Reinstalled Windows 11 for now since I realized I can't commit to Linux at the moment due to a few work deadlines that'd get derailed with possible tinkering. Now my CPU temps somehow keep ramping up and down at the slightest bit of action. Thanks Microslop! 🫠

I've mostly been manga only with One Piece so certain moments don't feel as emotionally impactful as they should to me, that being said the live action Chopper backstory just had me ugly crying, my pure boy. 🥲
