Meinem Partner ist seine Apple Watch auf die Fliesen gefallen & nun hat das Displayglas einen Sprung. Offizielle "#Reparatur" (wohl eher Tausch) bei Apple liegt beim Neupreis der Uhr 🤡. Selbst tauschen trauen weder er noch ich uns zu (den Anleitungen nach alles mehrfach verklebt, richtig 💩).

Hat hier evtl jemand einen Tipp (bitte nur auf Basis von möglichst eigenen Erfahrungen!) für einen damit vertrauten Reparaturladen im #RheinMain-Gebiet, oder zur Not auch was zum einsenden?

:BoostOK:

I have been fighting with my audio setup ever since I switched back to Linux over a year ago. No matter what I did, the sound from my Blue Yeti always sucked one way or the other. So many OctoPrint on Air quality issues due to that 😕

Decided enough is enough and did my first Thomann order ever. Now I have a Shure MV7+ connected via XLR to a Vocaster Two and holy cow, it's like night and day! 🤯 Actually looking forward to the next recording session now 😄

And it's also more manageable in size 😊

@hynek hah, high fives to that! 🙌

The air in the kitchen is now lava.

#ProjectHotsauce2024 is on its final stretch after five weeks of fermentation 🥳 We just finalised the sauce and filled up the flasks, now they just need to get labelled and then we are done ^^

Sadly we had to buy a lot of chillies this time as the harvest wasn't that great this year, but it doesn't look like that is going to negatively influence the end result 👍

You know what sucks? Being someone who absolutely loves games... but suffers from motion sickness.

Just finally started on Outer Wilds, only to discover it makes me quite sick. I really want to experience this game however. So I might have to let my partner take control and tag along for joint puzzle solving. But still, quite frustrating a realisation, yet another game I can't enjoy (on my own) thanks to this stupid issue.

Let's plays are a godsent for me for that reason.

Yes, at this point I've tried all the tips, no, nothing helps. This has been a thing all my life, and is not limited to games. Car travel unless I'm the driver, busses, even trains, planes, boats, rollercoasters etc. With games I just find it the most frustrating 😅

If eyes and inner ear don't match up, or inner ear goes wheee, Gina goes 🤢

In order to improve my fresh #pixelart skills I'm going to try my hand at #hartoween

Can't promise I'll be able to do everything on the day its due, and that I'll have the energy to keep up with it throughout the month, but it's worth a try at least.

Personal rules: 128x128px (but exported at 200%), trying to stick to the ENDESGA64 palette as much as I can.

So, here's day 1: Pumpkin

#aseprite

Needed some non-coding time to think about how to approach something, so used that time to take care of today's #hARToween while brainstorming on how to approach the work thing.

Thus here's day 2: Spooky House

#pixelart #aseprite

I actually already drew tomorrow's #hARToween image tonight because I don't know how much time I'll have for it tomorrow, with #mrmcd2024 starting.

So here's a somewhat early day 3: Ghost

This was not the original plan, but one thing led to another and I just ran with it. Turned out way cuter than I thought I could pull off 🤭

#pixelart #aseprite

I can't draw at all with a mouse btw... No chance at all. But I recently got myself a 11.6" drawing tablet and that's unlocked so much for me 😅

Today's #hARToween image is admittedly a rush job as I'm currently at #mrmcd2024 and thus can't focus as well on drawing as on the first three days.

But I took the graphic tablet with me and tried my best to paint Granny Weatherwax in under 30min.

Day 4: Witch.

#pixelart #aseprite

Now that I'm feeling better, let's try to get back on top of #hARToween.

I'll try to also catch up on what I missed, but if I don't have the time for more than one drawing per day, I'll focus on the current one.

Today I (so far) did two.

First one is today's, Day 11: From the Depths.

The seconds on is the first one I missed, Day 5: Haunted Doll.

#pixelart #aseprite

I'm quite happy with today's #hARToween drawing... Day 12: Full Moon (first). Awooooo! I think working with minimal lining here and just letting everything be backlit worked great!

I'm not that happy with the second one I did for the (missed) Day 6: Closet Monster (second). I like my idea, but I couldn't figure out how to add some details and shading without things looking weird. Ah well. I'm learning :)

#pixelart #aseprite

Some more #hARToween drawings...

First of all, today's, Day 13: Mask.

I'm not very happy with that one, didn't help that this was my third try either I guess. At least experimented a bit with lightning, and glowing eyes.

And the second one, Day 7: Bloody Mary.

With that one I'm quite ok, especially happy with the light effects and the lime. And yes, from the get go I planned to draw the cocktail vs. something creepy, sorry 😅

#pixelart #aseprite

#hARToween Day 14: Bats

I tried my hand a bit more on dithering (manually, with custom brushes, apart from the gradient in the back), and I might have overdone it a bit maybe, but tbh I kinda like it...

#pixelart #aseprite

#hARToween Day 15: Death Wreath

I gotta admit, not my favourite prompt so far, struggled really to be creative with it as it shows IMHO.

But at least I could practice a bit to draw plant stuff. And thankfully I managed to not have it look like a christmas wreath, or at least I hope 😅

#pixelart #aseprite

#hARToween Day 16: Black Cat

I think that's the first time I've ever drawn a cat that actually looks like one and not just like a weird dog 😅 Though admittedly, this one looks like it has a black panther somewhere in its family tree 🤔

#pixelart #aseprite

#hARToween Day 17: Spiderweb

I feel a cold coming up, so I'm kinda happy that today it was an easy prompt. More geometry than anything else 😅 Decided against a spider in the web, because aaaaah! 😬

#pixelart #aseprite

#hARToween Day 22: Vintage Vibes

Thanks to some health issues I still have to do days 18-21 and also 8-10, but those will follow when they follow.

Meanwhile, today's prompt made me think of a 102 year old movie I have yet to see, but which I think definitely has vintage vibes. So here's my attempt at turning one of the most well known scenes of Nosferatu into a pixel art drawing - a scene that really scared me as a child I should add. It was kinda therapeutic to draw 😅
