Got started on a new angel drawing! π Originally, the docahedron was going to instead be a sphere, but I'm really glad I settled on the docahedron core, since it gives a nice little contrast to the smooth form of the rings!

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Donβt ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Yo that looks fucking sick!
Aww thank you so much!! Happy Color noises
I be not afraid of that thing. It looks rad.
Thanks so much!! π It's gonna be an omega angel of sorts which creates new angels!
I've been cleaning my childhood home, I'm about to move with my gf so I'm checking things I need to keep, or store, or throw away, or give away.
There's one room in particular that has always been dedicated to store nonsense, to the point where it was inaccessible once the door was closed. Over the years I managed to empty it and relocate its contents across the rest of the house (not really cleaning lol, just moving things from one place to another, but efficiently π)
That room has since been used as an office sort of thing, with a lot of my own personal items piling up, which is where I am right now : trying to empty it completely so we can repaint the walls, and so I can select what to bring with me.
I finally finished my play through of Dragon Age Inquisition. The game is right on the limit of not respecting my time. Fortunately you can ignore a lot of the content with no real loss. Decent story though the ending was a bit anticlimactic and you need to play the dlc to get what your companions get up to after the game which would have felt real bad on release.
I finally decided on what my next keyboard build will be, a travel variation of one of my existing designs. I'm going to take a spare circuit board from my last one (damn minimum order quantity!!!!!!!!!), break it in two and throw away the numpad part, then laser cut and/or 3D print a case for it that's as thin as I can pull off. I have thin, blank keycaps that are PBT, a polyester plastic, so they should respond well to having Cricut infusible ink being heated by my laser. My red never comes out more than a saturated pink, but I'm going to send each one through twice to do a two-color design based on the old Timex Sinclair, possibly the world's worst computer keyboard, but one with some cool identifying legends. Seriously you guys. The T/S1000 (aka ZX-81) was literally so bad that half the design is BASIC commands on a layer, simply so you wouldn't have to type "GOTO" and other three- and four-letter words.
Starting a new tech lead role next week after getting laid off from my job of the last 4 years, so this week (as well as the previous), Iβve been and will keep cramming in as much golf as I can. I played a lot as a kid and teen, stopped around 17yo, then started again last year after a ~15 year hiatus.
Ordered a new wind indicator for my sailboat. The old one doesn't spin freely anymore, must have been damaged by some high winds over the last couple weeks or something. I am hoping it arrives in time for me and my buddy to figure out how to install it this weekend.
