I like making things and witnessing other people make things. Myself I do #EmbeddedDev and #Programming alongside a fair amount of writing and TTRPG design. Dipping my toes into pixel art and eurorack modular synthesis.

I am actively trying to curate a feed of people who make things, build worlds, and spread peace.

In spite of landing in exactly the wrong place, that went fairly well.

Writeup on the wiki forthcoming, and y'all can expect VODs to be listed in the usual places sometime tomorrow.

Oye! Kerbalowda!

We're going back to the Mun in my KSP forever-save, but unlike last stream we're taking living, breathing Kerbals there. It's going to be an Apollo-style mission with a whole bunch of tricks in it, to examine a potential site for our first Munar colony. I'm also going to do some "general ops" before the main mission and while we do those I'll share a whole bunch of channel and server announcements.

Come fly with me!

Politics, philosophies, and practices adopted purely for their countercultural or "edge" properties are a normal part of growing up, if an ugly one.

Much like your teenage plumage, you're meant to eventually outgrow them. Pick a core belief you haven't critically examined in a while and write a page or two on why it's so damn important to you.

Then check if any of that is materially true, if applicable.

This sale is in its final hours!

It's that time of the month again: the bitter end.

I've missed a couple of these this year, but here's my supposedly monthly Link Aggregation post, where I try and share the things I've stumbled upon since the last time I did one, so that more people can find more good things on the internet.

Think of it as a sort of monthly curated box of links.

Arcana Labs | Internet Highlights - 2026-3-31

With everything that's been going on, I basically missed every stream date I had in the month of march. Except I guess for today.

Tonight I'm going to be streaming Kerbal Space Program on my forever-save with a few memorable mods (but very much the stock "feel"), continuing my ongoing project to put a colony on the Mun.

Today that means an apollo-like mission to one of the locations I'm considering establishing that base. For reconnaissance purposes.

See you then.

#ScribesAndMakers 31 March: Are you satisfied with how your creativity went this month?

Not remotely. I wrote non-zero amounts of words and did non-zero amounts of art. My best work has been on the podcast, where I have lined up some really incredible guests (you are going to be blown away). But I want to write more and I haven't been in the headspace, and it sucks.

#ScribesAndMakers 31 March: Are you satisfied with how your creativity went this month?

I am satisfied that I have done what I can with the energy available, cards I was dealt, and physical constraints of mechanical reality.

In a universe where nothing is under control, it is better to make your peace with that than to become dissatisfied with your lack of control.

But I mean, between the circuit-bent Kosmo modular system of his own design and his whole ethos in general dude's already a Belter who just happened to have been born at the wrong end of the gravity well, sabe?

I have a mad idea and that mad idea is to cover a whole bunch of LMNC's songs in Lang Belta.

Problem statement: I can't speak that particular conlang.
