They/Them Crow here for May/Hem

Like I was on the verge of TEARS in frustration cause wtf do you mean this BRAND new rig with just shy of the best of the best parts isn't even getting 60 FPS in FFXIV??? And it was my fancy wallpaper killing itself (Culprit pictured)

This fuckass was taking up 80% GPU usage BY ITSELF with everything closed down and just chilling on my desktop. Found out somehow the settings on it defaulted to maxed out (and AMD Adrenalin was treating it like a game), changed those and it instantly dropped to ~5% and back to high frames in game 🥴

Jesus Christ. Spent like all day today and yesterday troubleshooting my PC to figure out why I was getting barely 30 FPS in Destiny 2 IN THE TOWER and other games were struggling (Mind you it's a 9070XT)... The culprit was fucking Wallpaper Engine in the background with BIBLICAL levels of gluttony.

a crow on a pavement eating a salami slice it has found. It actually ignored the peanuts I threw it. The crow is almost contemplating the taste

A crow eating salami. How very continental

Articles like this that purposely conflate standard Machine Learning algorithms with LLMs and Generative Image Models are doing the work of tech bros for them.

They're not the same and conflating them pushes the "AI (LLMs) is inevitable" narrative tech bros want to be true for them. Don't do that

Oops forgot to post an update, but I got my new PC!! Working through some things and gotta get software set back up and whatnot, but I’ll definitely post some announcements when I get a stream schedule figured out 👀

Psst go support my friend c:

Had to order replacement dowel screws for the cam locks on the last drawer, but it’s done! Have to do some basic cable management still and get my personal PC setup and some simple cleaning, but I’m super happy with the setup! It’ll be even cleaner once my new PC and monitor arrive~

Four hours later my desk is finally finished 💀 I barely got my WFH stuff setup on it for in the morning, none of my personal stuff. I’ll take pictures in the morning (also when I finish the drawers lmao)

My back is already killing me, but it’s so going to be worth it once I finish my new desk 🫠 More pics once I get it finished and everything set back up!

A stack of boxes for PC parts, including a Fractal North case, Gigabyte B650 Gaminf X AX V2 motherboard, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU cooler, Ryzen 7800X3D CPU, Thermaltake 750W PSU, 32GB of RAM, and a 4TB 990 SSD

And so it begins c:

Also hi hello I am alive lmao I just forget social media exists outside of doomscrolling sometimes 😅 Here’s some cat pics to pay for my absence

LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME REACTION I HAD 😭😭😭

🥹 It’s crazy that in about a month I’ll be starting to stream again… My new PC will be here by then and once I’ve got everything good to go, I’ll be hitting that live button once again.

Man in a suit walking away from a bald eagle that has been felled by an arrow and a paper reading 'big beautiful bill' while a crowd of purple angry people and the Statue of Liberty look on in anger.

Had to draw this. Using a Hispanic name for the driver is intentional as these people are totally fine using POCs for their comfort and ease while at the same time, calling them criminals and deporting others. I colored the masses purple as everyone is going to get screwed over by this, red & blue.

GUEST SPOTLIGHT Guest Artist: asieybarbie Guest Bio: So many words can describe Mel - intelligent, confident, powerful, beautiful. There was a mystery surrounding her which intrigued me. She has an emotional depth and personality that draws you in, and watching her growth in the show was fantastic. Nothing about her character is monotonous, and her layers of vulnerability and moral complexity is something I relate to. Plus, Mel's design is incredibly gorgeous. Everything from her hair, the skin tone contrasting with the golden tattoos and accents, all of her outfits. May very well be one of my favorite character designs of all time.

GUEST SPOTLIGHT 🌟✨

We're extremely honored to announce our next guest, @asieybarbie.com! 💫✨

Under asieybarbie's eyecatching and vibrant style, Mel will be sure to turn heads all across Runeterra. We're thrilled to see what they'll make for the zine! 💛

Wanted to thank you very quickly for over 2k followers, the love and attention the Pride Crows got here is... wow. I can't even find words for it. I hope I won't disappoint any of you. Again, happy Pride 💜

hhhmmmmmm

chat, I fear that this photo is absolute fire 🔥

Mannn fuck scalpers. Been trying to find the season 2 soundtrack for Arcane in vinyl form, found season 1 no problem, but it’s sold out EVERYWHERE in every variant and all I can find is eBay and other scalpers selling for 2-6x the original price 😭

Trump suggests US could 'take over' and redevelop Gaza as he hosts Netanyahu at White House - live updates The president says the US could take the lead in removing unexploded bombs and rebuilding Gaza after resettling Palestinians in other countries.

“She didn’t take a hard anti-genocide stance” BUT DID SHE DO THIS SHIT YOU FUCKERS?? God DAMN, you stupid pieces of shit who boycotted voting Kamala cause she didn’t outwardly take a harder stance against Israel are partly to blame for this. Their blood is on your hands.
