I made the first chapter of a short Martlet centric fan-fic

https://archiveofourown.org/works/85992576/chapters/227345126

Hello goons, thought you blue birds would be interested in checking this out. Finished it like 5 minutes ago.

Big warning if this concerns you, this fic contains A LOT OF ALCOHOL, and a pretty heavy focus on the stuff.

So lots of Martlet misery. Would mean a lot if some of you guys were interested in checking it out though :)

Best experienced on PC. I have a work skin, but it doesn't work AT ALL on my phone, so do with that what you will. It's readable either way and there are instructions on the actual fic

I wrote the first chapter of a short 2 parter fanfic about Martlet

https://archiveofourown.org/works/85992576/chapters/227345126

It's not inappropriate, but contains a heavy focus on alcohol and themes of alcohol abuse, which is not against the rules of the subreddit.

It's (going to be) a Starlo/Martlet fic.

First chapter is a lot of feelings, and guilt and misery. and in no way promotes the consumption of alcohol.

Enjoy.

Some of you might remember I asked about how to refer to Martlet's wangs (wing/hands), and that was for this :)

My GPU keeps crashing during a specific cutscene of Spider man 2 without any apparent cause

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT

Playing Spider man 2 a SECOND TIME AROUND. I have had this game for well over a year and have over 30 hours on it, not once have I ever had a GPU error or crash on it, and suddenly I get to a (unskippable :( ) cutscene and the game just freezes, crashes and throws this message:

https://preview.redd.it/ilsukd2u5w7h1.png?width=559&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d079b51cf91042f362ee6c39e6dbedacc26a574

I have not edited my in game settings which are fairly standard, for the entire time I've played this game and have faced zero issues until now. There are no pending driver updates, and I did a fresh install of the drivers not that long ago.

So I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. Wtf does it mean by "current temperature: -celsius" gee how bloody helpful.

What I HAVE noticed is that during the cutscene, my GPU jumps from around 90% utilization to 100% and then the game instantly crashes. wtf. I don't know a huge amount about this stuff, anyone have ANY idea why this is happening?

Phone no longer recognises ear buds and is now iffy with charger

I have a Samsung Galaxy A16 5G.

​

Mere hours before making thisbpost I'd listened to music fine with my earphones. Now suddenly it doesnt play audio through them??? I figured it was an earphone issue, but my charger also didnt work. I restarted and low and behold, charger works fine. I try my earbud again, still doesnt work. I try my charger again, NOW THAT DOESNT WORK.

​

I notice a notification that says its not recognising the usb (my earphones). Literally why.

​

I look stuff up and jump into settings, but I cant access developer settings. The menu is "unavailable". Literally nothing has happened to cause this. My phone is not old, nor is my charger.

​

This is really irritating. I have work tomorrow and i rely on my music to not go fcking insane during 5 hours of dull cleaning. And now my phone decides that I can't listen to any now at the very last bloody second.

​

Has anyone got a solution. Google is useless and nothing I've tried has worked.

Anyone else find smugglers loot really really irritating?

Call me lazy, but I'd left sea of thieves for a while and when I came back there was smugglers league stuff. It sells for a decent amount sure, but seriously ts is so inconvenient to sell. Like wdym I have to take it to some bumfuck island instead of the ports where literally everything else is sold. Not even that royal guild yob takes it if you're on a captained vessel. I basically dump it or leave it every single time, because I literally just can't be bothered to go all the way out of my way to lug it onto some random ass island and slowly sell it that way. Only thing I keep is blackpowder because funny barrel go boom.

So does anyone else just bin off smugglers stuff too? or just me? Cus the money you get out of them, I just can't really bring myself to care about, especially if I already have a spenny haul

Roblox won't start, uninstalled and reinstalled and no it thinks I'm missing the application

So, yesterday roblox suddenly stopped working. No rhyme or reason, it just... wouldn't open. No game would work, it would flash open, and then instantly close without any error message or even the slightest indication that it even TRIED to open. So I deleted roblox, go back over to browser and select play to get it to prompt me to redownload and it gave me this. I click browse, nothing shows up, I search roblox myself, install it, sign in yada yada and try again.

Same message.

I HAVE roblox installed and I hate playing it from the application. Why is it doing this? Any fix?

How does one refer to Martlet's arms/hands?

As title suggests. Im writing a short fanfic featuring the scatterbrain bird as a main character. But I've kinda ran into a conundrum on how to refer to her appendages. Her character art has her arms + hands to be the same as her wings, and yet the feathers at the end act as fingers to also suggest its a hand?

Im kinda figuring that referring to them as either is fine, but I dont want to make any confusion by interchanging how I refer to her arms and hands. What do yall think?

My allosaurus knocked on death's goddamn door

Was playing with my friends in an allo group and we were being bugged by these two prime stegos. I tried to pass them and got HEAVY hit by their tail strikes, i mean, knocked down, dome smashed like 2 to 3 times. Naturally legged it but found my route blocked by a sanctuary, so hid. I go to check my HP (this server had a website) I had a solid... 0% health💀. Fucker hit me so hard I was clinically dead. Not to mention my bleed ended up stopping at 5% too. I think if a baby stego had hit me, i would have imploded. Never been so stressed in my entire life, nor have I ever been THAT low on health to the point where I am BELOW A PERCENT of life. The allo is still alive to this day though and has since narrowly escaped two separate T rex ambushes. I stegos never properly persued me, I assume they thought I'd died. I probably shoukd have been dead, but their mistake was to let me heal and I was able to sneak away once my bleed stopped.

This is my first ever proper animation made using Maya. I'm supposed to just make a simple emote using a reference and a model with a proper control rig. I feel like the animation is near completion, but know there is definitely a lot to improve on. From watching the animation, is there anything you can immediately see that needs work and if so, would you mind giving some pointers. I'm slowly tinkering away at this thing, despite numerous losses of progress (Thanks Maya). I feel like right now, it still feels a little stilted in places, but I'm not really sure how to fix that?

Be as critical as you want, just pls keep in mind this is literally my very first attempt at this, and its still pretty unfamiliar territory

I used Count Dooku's lightsaber twirl as the reference as well (The one he does before fighting Yoda in episode 2. Can't post the video cus Reddit)

The editor is really really good, but has some limits, mostly when it comes to adding horns in specific places. I think I was able to get his face shape down. Took me like two hours of fine tuning and tweaking.

Smaug is easily my favourite fictional dragon so I hope I did him some justice

(Last image is an older version of him, so things are a little different)

HIGHLY recommend you guys check out Dragontwin. Very fun. Very cool
