keysauntReceived this beauty in the mail today and it was such a nice surprise. I had honestly forgotten about it and the boost of knowing I contributed to something good this year really brightened up my day. I look forward to participating next year in some capacity and am so grateful to be part of such a great and kind community. #DesertBus2024 #desertbusforhope #dbloon
Scarbble🍬watching nights i missed of Wet Ones and i have to say that the splatoon music in the background was an amazing choice #DesertBus2024
BassiosSo after seeing the Squats For Donations at the end of #DesertBus2024 (and thinking about it for a few days), I've decided to start doing daily squats myself, 'cause I spend an awful lot of time sat on my arse all day for work.
I started out doing 10, and after a few days of doing it I'm up to 25 before I can't do any more.
I'm hoping that my knees will stop sounding like I'm walking on bubblewrap soon.
Ian D. Horner2/2 #desertbus2024 button writeup for @Keab42
The LED on the arcade button was driving by 4 AA batteries through a 555 LED Breathing circuit. Resistors and capacitors were experimented with to get the right duration of gentle breathing.
The shell was painted using Musou Black ultra matte paint, and sealed with Future brand floor polish.
For @Keab42 specifically, but as info for all, here's some info on how I built the #desertbus2024 Random Dance Party button.
Exterior shell was created in FreeCad and printed in PLA. It was sized to roughly match the outer rim of a 120mm arcade button.
The button actuator is wired to an aftermarket remote lock control system for a car, connected via relay to a Raspberry Pi. "Locking the Car" bridges two pins on the Raspi which then send a signal to the Desert Bus Backend to start a dance party.
8-bit ArcherMy #desertbus2024 T-shirt has arrived \o/
it's a small thing but I'm really happy with the colour of this year's shirt. I've been trying to make a point of breaking out of a colour fashion pit I've been stuck in for years now where every Tshirt I own is either dark Blue, Dark Grey or Black ^^
YellowPrimeMy giveaway from this year's @desertbus finally arrived! Proud to have donated for years. I would have proudly ended the year empty-handed, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't freaking out when they called my user name. #desertbusforhope #DesertBus2024 #trakke
AshI don't really use Facebook anymore but I still have it around (I know I should probably delete it but family and free photo cloud storage) and every now and then check the memories.
Today had some memories of Desert Bus 6, and faux MTG cards I made for a submission.
Apparently I predicted Assassin's Creed?
definenullDesert Bus 2024 was amazing, glad that I woke up just in time to catch the thank-yous and the final bus-down live for the first time.
I have a lot of thoughts and feelings, but this exchange between two (wise) dogs summarises it best:
"Happy happens."
"Happy has to happen?"
"Yes! It has to!"
"How?"
"When you serve a greater good."
