@quail
pretty artist designer, and technologist with red hair, I make gay art and write code for @acmilabs.bsky.social,🏳️⚧️ girl, (she/her) (also @rubyquaildesign elsewhere)
Reminds me I need to work on my own implementation of a sorter (that uses a Monte Carlo methodology so you can change your mind… sort of) that and I need to finish my sorting of like 500 FFXIV tracks. But yeah as much as I love DA2 I think this just means I’m gay.
I decided to see if I could create a lil web app to sort from best to worse the 800 odd songs in the final fantasy XIV soundtrack and it's lovely it's finally in a place where i can just start actually sorting
Games me think of what you can do with games differently when I first played them (hard to pick only nine)
#genuary10 day 10: Polar Coordinates Polar Boids I tried to make boids with polar coordinates, i don't think that's a good idea. #genuary #genuary26 rquail-genuary26.rubyquail.design/10-polar-coo...
#genuary Day 4: Write “Genuary”. Avoid using a font A Particle for your thoughts I didn't use a font, the mask is from a photo of my own handwriting #genuary26 rquail-genuary26.rubyquail.design/5-write-genu...
#genuary Day 4: Lowres. A Simple Little Filter Just wanted to create a little webcam filter, this is probably one should play with yourself, now that WebGPU is a bit more standard, hopefully it should work #genuary26 rquail-genuary26.rubyquail.design/4-lowres-an-...
#genuary Day 3: Fibonacci forever. Sand Water Towers I'll probably go back to day 2 at some point, this was fun though, made me think of dropping wet water sand to make those big collapsing towers rquail-genuary26.rubyquail.design/3-fibonacci-... #genuary2026 #creativecoding
#genuary2026 Day 1: One Color, one shape. I really need to be less ambitios on these going forward, should probably also fix up some of the layout stuff rquail-genuary26.rubyquail.design/1-one-color-... #genuary #genartclub
Tasmania is just really pretty, you can see places like this like a 20 minute drive from the Hobart cbd
Admittedly these are usually sort of cringe, but I will own being a little cringe for a bit because a lot of IRL friends have said they remind me of a few select characters and I want to see if this tracks for internet friends tbh.
Working tonight so no costume but as it’s Silksong player night I’ve gone for at least a hornet vibe (or maybe Karmelita because of my hair) The DayNightDusk earrings feel very appropriate though
Sentry putting a giant chat bot on their home page is what's pissing me off today. You failed sentry, you failed
I don’t know if I like it better with diagonals or just hex directions for pathfinding for graph edges
Overlapping WFC with text seems like a cool idea, but then you realise your tileset is in the 100s of thousands and that is not a fun thing to optimise.
I can't stop thinking about censorship in the states, about the both blunt, and silenced erasure of our words, our names. I fear the canary's death cry will end, and you will all forget our song as its melodies can no longer surface among the noise. Don't let them forget our names
