good morning. i'm xiv (read as 14, but you can pronounce it any way you like if its funny).

welcome. this was a portfolio for some of my creations. however, right as i started getting into making art again i enrolled in college and am working both full time and part time on top of being a student, so i don't have time to make much right now. in the mean time, i reblog posts here occasionally that are related to mediums i'm interested in (music, illustration, animation, programming, hardware).

extra info below the read more.

other blogs i run are:

@videovending, a blog that started off documenting vending machines (special interest of mine) in video games, that branched out into documenting vending machines in all types of media. inactive, but submissions are open.

@oldyoutubecomments, a blog that documented old youtube comments that i liked or found funny / touching / etc. inactive, but submissions are open.

thank you goodbye love and peace ✌🏻

whenever you see C#m on a chord sheet you know the musician was just playing bar chords and couldn’t resist the temptation of the most annoying chord in the god damn book

[trashboat]

so i just noticed that c sharp minor is a bit shocking to read when spelled out in shorthand

[trashboat]

whenever you see cum on a chord sheet you know the musician was just jackin it

i love translators’ notes. i love seeing a little footnote that’s like “compare my good and grass-touching translation to the STUPID translations of smith and johnson, who rendered the passage ‘xyz’ because their heads are so far up their ass they’re giving ouroboroses body dysmorphia” or “this sentence isn’t translated very well, but that’s because the author wasn’t making any FUCKING sense”

every time there's a big wave of people reblogging the original i'm gonna push this one out again

would any billionaires like to continue the sacred tradition of patronage so i can devote 100% of my time and efforts to my creations. humans were made in the image of god, and preventing the opportunity to create is robbing us from the most potent form of divine enrichment.

Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material

After delisting thousands of games with adult or NSFW sexual material, indie store Itch are looking to move away from Paypal and Stripe.

I'm sure other people have shared this but i really hope this pans out. that all being said i think this being the catalysis for us getting up payment processors asses has been a net positive. i really hope people keep pushing. from what i've seen ppl saying on bluesky it dose feel like there is a growing frustration on their end. i really hope we can revers some of the puritanical bs that's been shoved on us.

[pomegranateteeth]

Today, we are re-indexing free adult NSFW content . We are still in ongoing discussions with payment processors and will be re-introducing p

HEY LOOK! - we’re not back in business yet but this does show itch is good on their word that they are trying to remedy things

Reasons why computer problems seem to mysteriously vanish as soon as a technician shows up:

You were spacing out and skipping a step somewhere without realising it, and you can’t reproduce it when you try to demonstrate it because now you’re paying attention to what you’re doing

It’s an intermittent electrical connection fault that’s being aggravated by movement/vibrations in your desk; you need to check your cables

The act of explaining the problem to someone caused you to figure out what you were doing wrong

The real cause of the problem was somewhere upstream of your terminal device – for example, at the network service provider – and it got fixed at the source while you were waiting

Your computer is in a location with poor airflow and is overheating; waiting for the technician to arrive gave it a chance to cool off

Despite all appearances to the contrary, modern computers actually have very good fault recovery, and most minor problems will sort themselves out on their own if you give it a minute

the computer doesn’t respect you. next time, try firm eye contact to establish dominance.
