Hey there! You probably saw screenshots of the African patterns I was working on at the time. The collection is not finished yet, but I've been meaning to get back into creating patterns. Your ask has inspired me to work on that particular collection again, as the patterns are also very fun to make. I hope I can get it ready soon! Here's a pic of the new patterns I made last night:

I’ve never felt more comfortable in a community than on tumblr, you can make genuine connections… (Sun, 07 Apr 2024)
sim-songs: id-element0: presentlydean: online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you’ve never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you’re only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn’t have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes. and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there’s this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other. there’s a strange kind of love to it. i don’t know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don’t think anyone will notice or care when you’re gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well. i hope you’re all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you. As an addition, not only the ones that disappeared but also the ones who are generally lurking or not as active as they were anymore for reasons, I hope that you’ll find solace in things that make you smile and find strength in things you do. Hang in there. This made me feel a lot of comfort, for my own absences and others’ throughout my years here. It can sometimes be very meaningful and scary to return to a blog, but once you do it’s like a warm hug I’ve never felt more comfortable in a community than on tumblr, you can make genuine connections here, even if they are just fleeting sometimes. They are still real in that we can feel and care for each other. We’re living our lives side by side for years, and there is always someone who notices an absence, someone who cares about our well-being and how we are doing. Shoutout to all the people who care about someone in an online community this way!

tau1tvec: tau1tvec: Idk if it was intended, but being forced to actually go to someone’s blog to access the bigger more fun boop button might’ve helped people check out blogs they wouldn’t’ve otherwise checked out, and found themselves following as a result. Or maybe that was just me, and my need to poke the toe beans. The people who work on, and own this site could rlly use what they did yesterday as a means to make improvements to this site in general. Like add a little fx when ppl hit like and reblog, and add more badges that can be earned through interaction and activity rather than just ones that require irl money. Stop banning users, esp marginalized ones without legitimate reason perhaps ??? Does it sucks that the internet and video games have rotted our brains to the point that plain old human connection isn’t enough to motivate us? Yes, but also these sites helped us get to that point, it wouldn’t kill them to help us get out, or at least create a slightly healthier new normal. Who knows, maybe actually genuinely putting their userbase’s wants and needs first might get them the growth and success they themselves so desperately want.

papermint-airplane: Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all my leprechaun mutuals!!! Just for fun, let’s do a cute lil meme where you tag the location of your gold. I’ll hide my gold inside my yarn skeins (I have a lot of them, so good luck finding it ) Speaking of yarn skeins, my great-aunt liked to gift me a “wonder ball”, when I was little, which was a ball of yarn in which she hid several sweets that would fall out every now and then and reward me for knitting/crocheting with the yarn and encouraging me to stay engaged and finish my projects. It worked really well

Did you think this was a Sims 4 screenshot? Well, I’d think so too, at first glance. Bing’s image creator AI Designer, which is running on DALL·E 3, can depict Sims 4 sims surprisingly well Aside from the figure having 6 fingers, which AI has trouble with, most evidence that this is AI-generated can be seen in the background, where flowers are poking through the window, mismatched tiles can be seen under the window, and the floor tiles are much too uneven. I will always tag any AI-generated image on my blog accordingly, but sadly, not everyone discloses this information. This AI-generated image should create much more doubt right away:

Vivaland: Dream House on Steam This is a demo of Vivaland, a life simulation scheduled to release in 2024! You can download the demo for free and play it right now. While I found some elements a bit clunky to use, my first impression is positive overall. I’m particularly a fan of the lighting and detailed textures. On the highest setting, the reflections are really pretty. Here are some screenshots I took (including my attempt at a nice bathroom)!

I was debugging one of my Python projects and suddenly this random pattern emerged (Sat, 09 Mar 2024)
I was debugging one of my Python projects and suddenly this random pattern emerged Patterns, hmm…. maybe the universe wants to remind me of something… I’m on and off working on a tool that tells me what files I missed to download from a simfileshare folder. You know, when you have a folder with 100 links and somehow you notice that some files have not downloaded correctly, but you have no idea which ones!?!?!? Well, my tool can compare the contents of a folder with the files of a web link or text file, and it reports which files are missing. I am also trying to make the tool download the missing files, but it’s not working (maybe the script is considered a bot and is blocked, or there is something special you need to do to make it work that I have no clue of. But I’m happy the tool tells me anything at all, lol! I am not ready at all to share any of my projects, they are in Alpha state at best But I can share a screenshot:

Personal update about my anxiety (Wed, 06 Mar 2024)
Time for another personal update! At the moment, I’m not really in a creative mood and my projects are all resting. I am working on more stuff in my real life, including cleaning/decluttering my apartment and working through an anxiety app which will hopefully get me to start exposure (though I shudder at the thought alone). The funny thing is, the app is for social anxiety, and I do have some social anxiety, but I think I mainly have agoraphobia (but there is no medical app available for this at the moment, so I took the next best thing). The app said: “Let’s make a gradual steps plan, you first choose a very easy step, then one that is a little harder and harder, and so on until the hardest step comes at the top.” And for the easiest step, it actually suggested one of my hardest steps: going into a store, buying something, and interacting with the cashier. Checkouts give me such anxiety. I once had a full-blown panic attack because I couldn’t remember the PIN number for my credit or debit card. And I very rarely get panic attacks. Luckily, my brother was present and he was able to pay for me while I almost hyperventilated and tears were streaming down my face. Generally, I start sweating and get shaky hands which does not help while handling cards and remembering pin numbers. I get tunnel vision and cannot focus on anything that is going on around me. Sometimes, blood rushes in my ears so I have a hard time picking up whether someone is saying anything. Then, all items need to be put into bags at lightning speed, and I always fear that I am not fast enough and that everyone else in line is annoyed and angry with me and this makes me even more nervous. Putting things away with shaky hands is tough! So I send my boyfriend shopping for me or buy online most of the time. If I absolutely must, I can go shopping with one of my loved ones because I feel a tiny bit calmer and know I have a safety net with me. They can also help me put stuff in my bags. But alone? That’s nightmare fuel for me. Same thing with using public transportation, I just can’t do it. I also have a very hard time sitting in waiting rooms at the doctor’s office, I get so tense and do not know what to do with myself. Oh, and I also have severe anxiety when I need to make a phone call But all that is seriously impacting my life, as you can imagine. And I want to change something. Since the app is not helpful with suggestions for my gradually harder steps to take, I have to come up with my own, and it is harder than I thought! All the things I think about are really hard for me, I cannot think of less hard steps to take Even just going outside without a destination/going out by myself is also anxiety-inducing for me. I feel like I am watched all the time, I get tense and my thoughts start racing or going in circles. This also happens while I am in a store to shop for something. I get paralysed sometimes with decision fatigue and if someone else comes into the same aisle, I have the urge to run away instantly. I get so distracted that I need to spend way more time in a store than usual and this is of course not making me calmer. I am just super exhausted after going shopping! I am proud that I leave the house twice a week now to go for a walk with my best friend though. We have just established a second day of the week this year, and we still do not go twice every week, but pretty often, which is great. And I love to walk in nature, it calms me (if there aren’t too many other people around). I am also making progress with my borked sleep cycle. I am a night owl , but being awake the whole night clashes a lot with my family’s plans. I have tried for months to shift it, but in the last one to two weeks, I actually made real progress and went to bed 2 to 3 hours earlier than normal, which is really huge for me! I found out that there are lots of free audiobooks on YouTube that authors upload themselves. So one hour before I want to sleep, I put one on, set a shutdown timer of 60 minutes so it will turn off after that time, and then go to bed and listen to it until I fall asleep. This has motivated me enough to actually go to bed earlier. As a result, I get more daylight and I am more inclined to do housework, which I also struggle with in general, so this is really great! I am focusing more on that now. I also started playing Subnautica again, but I can only play for a few hours on end because it can get pretty intense. I kinda want to play Sims 4 again (weird, I know). My anxiety app wants me to think more positively, so instead of thinking that it is no use updating my mods because the minute I do, another patch drops anyway and I have to start all over, I should think more positively. I will probably drop the game after playing for a day anyway, so it does not need to stay updated for long! Maybe downloading and updating mods is more fun than actually playing anyway?

Am I a programmer? (Wed, 28 Feb 2024)
I’ve spent the last weeks developing an actual little app using Python… It all started with a Let’s Play of Subnautica I saw on YouTube. Since Subnautica is one of my all-time favorite games, I got the itch to dive back in (pun intended). I play with tons of mods, so I had to check for a lot of updates and also juggle different versions since the last Subnautica update broke a lot of the older mods. So after some back and forth, I decided to remain on the older version for now. Great! But then I noticed that because of that back and forth and uninstalling mods, all my mods were reinitialized, and that meant trouble for one of my favorite mods, Autosort Lockers. The mod adds automatic resource sorting inside the game, which is super handy. But it was built to only work with the game’s resources, not modded items. It does offer config files though. So when I last used the mod, I painstakingly edited the configs and added all modded items, which took hours. And now, I accidentally messed them up and was supposed to redo all of that. The thought filled me with dread. So I asked ChatGPT, which I have grown quite fond of recently, to help me. Why did I ask ChatGPT? Well, I need to go a bit further back in time to explain that. One day, not too long ago, I asked ChatGPT to reformat a long list. ChatGPT said, “Apologies, I cannot process such a long list. Here’s a Python script, here’s how to install Python, copy the script, run it and it will do what you want.” I thought ChatGPT was crazy, surely that would never work!? Nut I was curious and also a little desperate so I did install Python and ran the script and … it did what I wanted. I was stunned. Could I use ChatGPT to write code for me? Apparently, the answer was yes. So I spent a lot of time directing it, add this, add that, and I noticed that it was not at all as easy as I thought. ChatGPT removed code when it felt like it, and the longer it got the more it messed up. But also the more time I spent copying/pasting Python code, the more I understood. Sometimes, I would just ask “What exactly does this bit do?”, and ChatGPT patiently gave me answers. Running the Python code from the command prompt got tedious very quickly though. I asked: “Can’t you make a button for me that I can click??” To my surprise, ChatGPT said: “Sure, let’s make a gui.” And that was it, the moment I fell in love with Python. So I made a few attempts at this and that, most only half-finished because the project got too ambitious for the little knowledge I had. I heard about an AI especially made for writing code: Github’s Copilot. I decided I had to try that. Since it only worked in real programmer’s tools, I installed Visual Studio Code. Now I really felt like a programmer, using fancy tools! And Copilot made things easier, much easier. It did not delete all kinds of code like regular ChatGPT. It was even more helpful. I was super motivated and got to work on my “Autosort Lockers Filter Update Helper” since Python is very well suited for automating stuff. Because several config files were involved, and several values needed to be loaded, converted, compared, merged, loooked up, reformatted, and saved into multiple files, it was quite the undertaking, but I am at a point where most of the logic actually works and I have a real program with real buttons that I can click on. I made a program that actually works with my very limited coding knowledge! It would not have been possible without the help of AI. My patience and long hours paid off. Can I call myself a programmer yet? I’m not sure, since the code was written mostly by AI, not me personally. But I can confidently call myself the director and mastermind behind it and I actually want to learn more about Python so I can one-day code stuff myself without needing AI to do it for me.

Subnautica - explore the unknown ocean (Wed, 14 Feb 2024)
Subnautica - explore the unknown ocean ALT One of the best games I ever played is Unknown World’s Subnautica, a beautiful underwater survival game with base-building and exploration as well as a great story to uncover! You find yourself stranded on a foreign underwater planet and explore the planet to survive. The immersion this game offers is unparalleled, the music and sound effects really play on your emotions and are one of the highlights of the game. It is a thrilling experience as the game is good at conjuring the terror of the unknown while at other times you feel completely safe. It is expertly eliciting emotional responses. You are rewarded for your bravery and the loop of risk vs. reward is brilliantly done. I can’t say enough great things about this game, and I highly recommend to check it out! It is currently 67% off on Steam at a bargain price, but only for a very short time. Now is the perfect chance to buy it.
