I had to put my cat Smokey to sleep this morning. I brought her home almost exactly 7 years ago, to the day.

If I continue to make and upload stuff, it's partly because I'm throwing myself into MMD to avoid losing my mind right now.

Would anyone even want these things if I cleaned them up a bit and put them out for DL? Some of the physics aren't quite up to my personal standards but if no one's going to bother, I won't waste my time. I mean sure I see people favorite my things but no one ever really comments to say why they like it or anything...

Woke up today with a burning pain in my left eye. It was watering and red, and I couldn't get my contact lens out, so I ended up going to the eye doctor. She had to make several attempts to get the lens out, and then confirmed I have an infection brewing. Thankfully it's not as bad as that one time I had an ulcer on my cornea, but it still sucks. I've had to turn down the brightness on my screen by a LOT. I need to put these eyedrops in every 4 hours.


Speaking of that ulcer I had, it looked like a solid white dot affixed to my eyeball. Almost exactly like the highlights on so many MMD eye textures. This is one reason I hate that type of texture so much: to me, it looks diseased.

I've seen news pieces here and there that have shed light on a lot of older programs having issues with Intel's new Gen 12 Core processors in new computers. Like this one here that got some significant attention for impacting law school students getting ready to take their bar exams: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/07/why-cant-intels-12th-gen-cpus-pass-the-bar-exam-blame-the-e-cores/


I have now also seen a couple of people visit our MMD help group on Discord where a blank white rectangle obscures the camera and messes with the view. You can see the model's bones, the red camera dot, and maaaybe a tiny sliver at the edge of the screen of whatever the background is supposed to be, but that's it.

Changing MMD to Full Screen mode did temporarily fix the issue, but then that has the drawback of hiding your keyframes, expression sliders, and other important stuff. It would be impossible to use things like Raycast, where you REALLY NEED to be able to see what the slider is doing as you make the adjustments.


Both of these individuals had to switch to MikuMikuMoving.

Both of them had Intel Gen 12 Core processors in their computers.

MMD does not appear to be compatible with these new Intel processors, so be aware of this fact if you are needing a new computer!


I realize this is not exactly a tutorial, but I will be trying to add this to as many groups as possible to help raise awareness.

Is it just me, or do people seem to comment on things a lot less than they used to?


I've been trying to upload something regularly since I got back into DA. And while I do enjoy the stuff I make, sometimes I get curious what others think of it. Or I put a lot of discussion into the description of a work. But...I rarely have anyone say anything. (LOL does anyone even read my descriptions?)


To be clear, I'm not referring to my MMD tutorial stuff. It's obvious why people are interested in that. But sometimes I see that one of my uploads has gotten a lot of favorites, and it was something I personally felt a little "meh" about. Or I notice that the same people add just about everything I make to their favorites. So, sometimes I wonder what it is that other people like about my stuff... What do you see in it that I don't? Why do some keep coming back? But, since no one seems to want to talk about it, I can only guess as to why.
