Factorio isn't the kind of game I thought I'd get into. In fact, when I first tried it eight years ago, I disliked it enough to never play any similar games. But recently, it's really got my attention. Here're my Science automation modules! :D

What do you mean "follow back"? How many of you cool artists are hiding in plain sight? lmao

There're some power outages going on. So if I don't stream today, start late, or get cut-off, that's why. :D

I made a mini model for planning my #factorio base! It's not *exactly* to-scale, but it helps! Also, when's a good time to start Space Age? Is it different right from the beginning, or would I be able to start a second save and get a really basic factory going while I finish with my vanilla save?

Made some fancy text! Now I just need to find an excuse to use it. It doesn't work quite so well for Youtube thumbnails since those have to be legible at small sizes. But maybe with enough contrast or some other excuse...

I better be careful not to accidentally bump my computer while playing DOOM: The Dark Ages. Striking superheated metal makes it shatter. :D

I'm never changing my Arisen's armor. ( Unless I can't use it, or I somehow find something cooler. ) By chance, I first saw the half-plate on a Pawn while following a road that leads to the area you find it! And the scarf's from the same place! :D youtu.be/7GnmDimQxwE 【 #DragonsDogma ⟡ #DDDA 】

I don't have much I'm waiting for in the gaming space, but to get release dates for 2/3 of them in the same week has me pretty excited! Tarnished Edition on PC will just add some armors and weapons, but, fashion! And DOOM: The Dark Ages is a paladin game! Of course I'm excited for more of that! :D

Sir Greaves 2.0! I wanted to have a big reveal, but it's been a year! So it's time to just post it. Still a WIP, but I'm confident in the helm and neck ring (kept from my current PNG), pauldrons, and surcoat. I talk more about it here; youtu.be/nfgWV26asPw 【 #SirGreaves ⟡ #vtuber ⟡ #ENvtuber 】

If you want more sky islands in #Terraria skyblock, use any or all of these Secret Seeds; - thecarebearsmovie - purify this - does that sparkle - toadstool - sandy britches - winter is coming - water park I like adding these; - save the rainforest - abandoned manors Also try; - how did I get here

Not recognizing most actors is such an adventure sometimes. What do you mean Carl (Van Helsing) is Faramir (LoTR)??

I should probably post this one here, too. Hello, Bsky! I'm looking for an animation I saw 5-10 years ago (+/-) about a couple OCs who go through some sort of catastrophe where one mutates and the other disappears. It was dark, short, and a certain part was only a few frames. youtu.be/neDU4x_SUvs

【Terraria 1.4.5 ⟡ Skyblock】What was this animation?

Streamathon was a great success! The Sun Squires added nearly two weeks to the clock! I tried 16 games I probably wouldn't've otherwise tried, and gave a second chance to a couple I didn't remember enjoying. Now I have 10 'new' games to continue and a good start on acquiring Greaves 2.0!

Extremely happy with the work @sinistersuns.bsky.social did for my Streamathon timer! It's so much fun to work with artists! :D

People've been so loud for so long about generative AI actively hurting artists that I strongly believe anyone who continues to use it simply doesn't care. Generative AI has no place in the creative field. Not used as references, inspiration, or for placeholder images. Hire artists.

I find so many artists I've never seen before when researching ref on every single painting I make. This is the way we make connections. Using genAI to make reference is creating unseen missed opportunities at unprecedented speed and removing one more human element of art making.

I'm doing a Streamathon in January! Making an event of it is probably the best way to convince myself to try these games I've been picking up on sale throughout the years. My usual stream schedule is too sparse to try them normally, and a Streamathon itself is new to me! :D youtu.be/3clHH037zOs

A small drawing

Behold, Warpstar Platinum. Fitting this within the 20 allowed decals was surprisingly difficult. Not being able to scale X and Y separately probably contributed to that. 【 #KirbyAirRiders | #Kirby | #JJBA | #JojosBizarreAdventure 】

New sheet for this year. Like the one before prices remain the same but this year we got a new option and who knows, maybe i add more options as the year goes! Like always, if you wish to support me in smaller ways, you're free to do so via ko-fi: ko-fi.com/zefirart

Youtube is running my Shorts through an AI "enhancement" filter, and I don't have a choice. There's no checkbox to opt-in. There's no checkbox to opt-OUT. It's going back and affecting Shorts I've uploaded well before they started rolling this out. Nobody I know wants this. youtu.be/2D6JDGhflW8

I hope #KirbyAirRiders has a City Trial like mode. It was one of the neat parts of the OG. Of course, I won't get my hopes up since I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed. Given it's the same director, I'm sure it'll be good either way. [ #Kirby | #KirbyAirRide ]

Wanna watch me yap about new games for a bit? It's not a deep dive, but I'm trying a different clip format. youtu.be/PHO-a6YKopc [ #TheDuskbloods #EldenRing #Nightreign #TarnishedEdition #KirbyAirRide ]

Yapping about new games :D (Duskbloods, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Nightreign, Kirby, pricing)

I'm really bad at the whole "social" part of social media. Sorry if you're expecting a response and I haven't got around to it, I'm stuck trying to double-check everything.

Following a suggestion; I'm looking for someone who renders armor and fabric like this. (in the little boxes) This specific artist hasn't been around since 2020. :( But if your style is similar, hit me up! If not, sharing and reposting is good! :D Of course, no AI.

@sirgreaves.bsky.social Saw your YT short about not being able to find an artist for a specific style and I was like "??? I could probably do that" so I wanted to have a go at your character! It wa a lot more fun than I expected, but after 2 hours I decided to take a break instead of continuing lol

Made A littel Fanart For @sirgreaves.bsky.social what do you all think ?

I really like when my inventory looks like it all matches.

Behold, the PNG-wiggler! (Volume warning) The things I was using lacked the features I wanted, so I did a little tinkering with Javascript. It has a silence threshold, a loudness threshold, and can apply effects to all states. The wiggling is greatly exaggerated for demonstration purposes.
