#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 😁

minimization = minim quantization

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 😕

tired: sparkling water

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😁

Smol salad 🥗

Not sure whether it's the 3 weeks of quarantine, the dutch oven, or the @kingarthurflour@twitter.com bread flour, but this feels like some of the best bread I've ever eaten 🤤☺️

I've been making bread since I was a kid but this was the first time I've used a dutch oven, and wow the steam cooking makes a difference

I'm a little late to the game but here's my #QuarantineBread

Seemed appropriate to use a webcam selfie this year for #TransDayOfVisibility

Did y'all not have webcams or are you trying one up each other with video quality?

Forget toilet paper, the price of webcams has jumped by 6x. Better stock up fast! 🤦‍♀️

What tier of prepper are you when you start buying plant seeds by the pound?
