Yaban, phantom in the rain

I missed Anna Lapwood's organ concert at the Berlin Philharmonie. It was yesterday. She performed her entire LotR suite and her PotC suite. Why did I only hear about it one day after the fact? 😭

Happy lunar year!

I didn't get to make something new, so let me share my new year themed Hualian dragon AU, which was published in the Tails&Scales fanzine some time ago.

The stakes are high. It’s time to leave the Tech behemoths behind. Protect yourself, protect each other.

3:27pm of February 16th. I still haven't written anything. I have lost my grasp on time, too.

I stood up until early morning today reading one of my own fics to guide my mind back to writing. It wasn't very successful, now I am just tired and foggy.

Feliz Sam Va Lentín, espero que paseis un día estupendo con vuestros hobbits favoritos, y que se paren a esperaros! 🥰💗

I finally read "Devil Venerable Also Wants To Know". What a treat!

discord is asking everybody about how they feel about AI. have at it folks

Having to go to bed knowing that Colombia, my country, the place where I grew up and my people live, is just a whim from the madman at the White House away from being occupied and exploited alongside Venezuela, is a new horror of such dimension that it might as well be the one that breaks me.

2026🎠🎍

Digital drawing of Ling Wen, from the novel Heaven Official's Blessing, sitting on top of a kowtowing statue in front of a window, looking at the camera with a slightly disdainful expression. There's a bloody burlap sack folded over her right forearm, and paper scrolls flying around her.

Happy holidays, @voxel0id.bsky.social! I'm your Puqi Shrine secret Santa :D

Hope you like this rendition of Ling Wen, our favourite example of a woman thriving in a male-dominated field, hahaha. Here's for a 2026 of academic and professional success with the blessing of Noble Jie~

I'm doing an end of the year deep cleaning of my flat, and I keep finding strange stuff left by previous tenants. So far, the weirdest has been a 25kg bag of sand for playgrounds. As far as I know, no one with kids has lived here in at least 15 years, and there are no playgrounds nearby.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder “The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Tonight: The Game Awards!

We’re deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight, especially since we’re in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games.

Congratulations to all our fellow nominees — we salute you!! 🙏👏

I don't really pay attention to Pantone's "colour of the year", but "cloud dancer" a.k.a "landlord special" is so stupid that it has motivated me to strip that exact colour right off my century old window frames. I might paint my room walls too, no matter that I'm a tenant (a subtenant, at that!)

Watch me taking all the wrong decisions in Hades 2 due to language issues (it already happened in Hades 1 with English, where I friendzoned Thanatos accidentally because I thought "easing off" meant something different. My English rarely fails me so hard, RIP)

Screenshot of a warning in Animal Crossing: New Horizons saying the language of the console changed (from Spanish to German) since the last time the game was opened.

Aye, there are responsible actions for self-improvement in my videogames ☹️

7:06am of December 1st. The situation has not changed. I am on my wit's end ⚰️

Long story short, my flatmate asked me to discuss some cohabitation issues, and one of them was that he felt the brunt of cleaning was falling on him. I have been purposefully deep cleaning the flat since August, so learning he perceives I'm slacking instead felt like a total defeat.
