#introduction / #introductions

Hi, I'm Mikayla! I live in #somerville (MA, USA) and build #vsmac #developer #tools for #dotnet on #mac. I'm #gamedev adjacent and one of my side projects is a #mono #csharp plugin for #ue4. I also love to make things, especially #silversmith #jewelry and #cosplay, and my interests are too numerous to list 😁

Labelled some frozen black forest ham "BF Ham" for brevity and now I can't stop thinking of it as "Boyfriend Ham"

Happy Halloween! 🎃 🦇🧹

Pretty sure it's galvanic corrosion, there's a pretty bloom of copper of the nickel plated GPU water block. Kinda worried I should replace the other radiator too.

The good news is I finally found the pinhole leak in my water cooling loop! The bad news is... uh, yeah, my primary PC's radiator is now leaking badly enough that I can see it 😬😬😬

Looking to commission an image of Chef Palpatine cackling UNLIMITED FLAVOR. I will be taking no further questions at this time.

Day 3 of our roadtrip from Denver to Boston! A thousand miles down, a thousand to go #uhauling #galpals

wrong answers only, please

It's not exactly warm today, but I think it's enough to start toughening 'em up

I wish it would warm up so I could move my plants outside 😕

First loaves of sourdough, made with homegrown starter 🤤

Now I'm baking bread every week, I thought I'd try my hand at a sourdough. The starter is coming along nicely!

Rearranged the shelves to be able to keep them inside a bit longer

Started some tomatoes indoor 4 weeks ago and cucumbers 2 weeks ago. It's a couple more weeks till last frost and they've outgrown the space already!

Anyways I really like the one I got, the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 - way cheaper than a Cintiq, but parallax, latency and color are all decent, and it's got etched glass for tactility. And there's a lightning deal right now: https://amzn.to/2JXH9mK

I've always preferred malleable media like clay or metal as my art is a very experimental process. My theory is it's because of aphantasia - I can have an abstract idea, but I can't visualize it, so I have a limited sense of how a thing will look until I execute

I got a drawing tablet a few months ago for art and although it doesn't compare to the tactile feel of physical media I love how having undo and layers negates my anxiety.

I also found that it makes a passable substitute for a whiteboard when working remote😁
