Busy day in space tomorrow! Launch of NASA SWOT is targeting 0646 ET from VSFB, CA! Then, TWO launches WITHIN 20 mins on the Space Coast! MPOWER-A is targeting 1621 ET from SLC-40, and Starlink is targeting 1639 ET from LC-39A. All three atop SpaceX Falcon 9.

SpaceX Planning Starlink 6-49 Launch Tonight, Which Will Make A Bit of History

Representative Starlink launch on a Falcon 9Photo: Charles Boyer / ToT I recently said that covering Starlink launches is almost like covering Southwest Airlines’ daily flights from Orlando International Airport to Austin, Texas. It’s not that watching a rocket launch is boring, it never is, it is simply that SpaceX is flying missions to add to its Starlink constellation so regularly that it has…

Oops! I’ve barely had the willpower to draw! Managed to bump out a little something for the CCSF. A phone Lock Screen+simpler homescreen and a bonus one with the reference image I used :)

Happy Creatures Community Spirit Festival!

[sunlitmiracle]

smashes my current interest together with my old interest (aka yet another "what Dungeon Meshi but Gamers?" AU)

Once when I was a child I had a complete crying meltdown over Creatures, because the manual insisted that the complicated AI of the Norns made them truly alive and 10-year-old me was freaked out at the idea of being solely responsible for making sure these real animals wouldn't die. The funny part was that this was the Playstation version of Creatures, which has no biochemistry and very basic AI compared to the PC/Mac games where players actually were debating whether or not it was true artificial life. A PSX manual gave me existential dread and it wasn't even telling the truth.

Anyway, kid!Marcille would also have a meltdown over the Creatures series, especially if she had the computer games and got to see how vastly different some breeds' lifespans are. Like in C2 where you have Norns that live for around 5 hours and Norns that live for 10, both of which are vastly more than Ettins who don't even live for 1.5 hours (and usually less due to radiation or starvation).

Lucky for her, having the computer version means she could download modified genomes made by other players that make creatures live longer or even outright remove certain death triggers. However I think she'd have more fun learning to read and edit the genomes herself, to get a better understanding of how the game works and how to change it to suit her own tastes. And because she could pretend she's one of the mysterious ancient Shee who created the Norns, Grendels, and Ettins and then vanished, leaving behind relics of their old society.

(Speaking of Grendels, she would unfortunately dislike them because they're the Designated Evil Species and she'd hate how they harass and attack her Norns. I think she'd also pity them though, because they get sick a lot and have short lifespans. Likely she'd just end up downloading/creating a genome without the aggression towards Norns. Ettins she'd like except for in C3 when they dismantle her meticulously-placed gadget setups, so she might mod out their hoarding compulsions too. Both of them would of course also live for however long her Norns would live.)

Also. While standard creatures' lifespans are counted in hours, if you modify the half-lives in the genome editor you can increase it to centuries. Or even just over a millennium if you set the half-lives to their max length (assuming you also leave the old age death trigger at its vanilla value).

and I like to think that elven Creatures players would pass around copies of what they consider a template genome that's appropriate to their own lifespans. Something that would make their creatures live for weeks or months of continuous play. I also like to think the Creatures DS Warp is still active in this AU because of the hilarious frustration when these long-lived Norns travel to worlds run by short-lived players whose Norns have vanilla lifespans, and vice versa.

(Most of the time in Creatures, offspring of parents with different lifespans will just have one or the other, but there's a chance the genes cross over right in the middle of the various age triggers and cause unstable aging rates. Like a Norn that goes through the childhood stages in hours but then has a very extended adulthood. Or a days-long childhood followed by suddenly dropping dead of old age once the vanilla adulthood genes kick in. Or, if the child has one parent's half-life decay rate and the other parent's age triggers, all sorts of odd things could happen. I once had hybrid Norns who lived for 20 hours and would die of organ failure before reaching the old age threshold!)

(Now that I think of it, Marcille would absolutely hate fast-agers. The first time she watches a creature hatch, turn old, and die in just one brief minute of life, she would be sobbing for days. One of the first things she'd learn to mod out would be mutations that cause the Ageing/Life chemical to decrease unusually fast.)

On a lighter note, while I don't know what her favorite designs would be I think she'd love choosing cute breeds to use in her world. Once she figured out how to give her creatures the comfortable life she wants them to have I can see her redirecting all her gene-editing efforts into changing color expressions. She might even learn to sprite or model her own custom designs.

#creatures #creatures games #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi spoilers #delicious in dungeon spoilers #(not directly but the Implications are there) #(later tags will be more direct about spoilers) #anyway all the PC Creatures games are on Steam and Docking Station is free #Caveat One: Creatures 2 does not run well on modern systems (though the Steam release is trying to fix that) #Caveat Two: The Creatures series was made during the 'spanking is acceptable' era so uh. #No sugarcoating it: Physical abuse is used as discipline. #(unless it's Creatures Village where they replaced slapping with a water spray) #I made a mod for C3/DS that just uses buttons instead of the hand; it was released for the CCSF 2023 community event but #I should re-release it here too someday. I should also revisit my slap-disabler mod and see if I can make it easy to install. #but that's a task for Future Me and not Present Me #anyway Sissel/Thistle is also a Creatures player but he cares more about micromanaging his population than caring for them #he removes not just their death triggers but also their drive to eat and sleep. they're permanently happy zombies basically #he doesn't make peace with Grendels and Ettins he just puts them in the airlock #he gets involved in the Creatures Abuse discourse and somehow makes everyone mad #however he is also a very prolific modder who has made all sorts of interesting animals and metarooms; ppl in the fandom respect his skills #and he does truly care about his vision of a utopian world for his favorite Norns #idk if any other dunmeshi character would play Creatures. Milsiril might like it? #Kabru wouldn't play but he'd get a kick out of reading the many ethical debates and drama between fans #everyone else I feel might be put off by the game's very slow pace or by the complexities of raising creatures #anyway hey I haven't posted on tumblr for months; I am sorry and this WILL happen again #Eventually i will remember how to Create Things #that is also a task for Future Me

Upcycled Fashion 101

An intro to upcycling clothes. This is based on some of the most searched for questions around the topic in the hopes it helps folks looking for answers. What are upcycled clothes? The definition of “upcycled clothes” is highly subjective, but it ultimately means remaking or revamping textiles into something wearable. It’s used for everything from folks remaking old prom dresses into something…

San Francisco - My Next Art School - 1979

As this was my next school right after CCSF, and I wanted something for myself for my photography - First Latino in the family with a BFA Degree in Photography in which made my dad Cried when Paul handed my Diploma. So from 1978 to 1981 I learn more and manage to meet new friends of the love of photography - There I learn how to do Gum Bichromate Printing, Dye Transfer, C41 & E-6 Processing, Portrait, and Figure Nude photography, Heavy learning into Studio Still Life, and Fashion photography, did it all, and as seen the news of Digital camera news as it was mentioned in the photo magazines was still in the young feature as we were told about it. Here is a Self Portrait of myself.

Pan-American Unity, the Diego Rivera mural, has ended its display at SFMOMA (bottom pic shows it being packed up) and is temporarily returning to its original home at CCSF, but only for storage. I get to see it coming back via flatbed trucks and cranes every day, the reverse of when it was moved to SFMOMA. It will be reinstalled for viewing in the new CCSF theater once construction is completed.
