yapping
the stuff I won't shut up about
Four things I'll talk your ear off about, unprompted, given the smallest opening. If any of it lands, my DMs are the fastest way to start something.
Probably down an SCP wiki rabbit hole, arguing with a Discord API rate limit, or rebuilding something that already worked fine.
I like to yap: SCP lore, music, whatever server problem I'm mid-fix on. Add me on Discord and say something: @_whois.vasu
taste that won't sit still
BoyWithUke is the main event for me — the masked, ukulele-driven indie-pop project that turns anxiety and heartbreak into something you can still bop to. Two Moons is the one I'd hand someone first, but Toxic, She Said No, and Tired of Wanting You are in heavy rotation too. Beyond that I'll listen to basically everything — except rap and metal, those two never landed — and what's on rotation changes constantly.
collaborative fiction, taken very seriously
A massive, community-written fiction wiki about a secret organization that finds, captures, and contains anomalous objects, entities, and locations that break the normal rules of reality, written in a dry, clinical, found-document style that makes the horror hit harder. No single author, no canon police, thousands of contributors building the same universe one containment report at a time.
I've read an unreasonable amount of the wiki. Was also a map developer for an SCP roleplay game on Roblox, building the containment sites players actually walked through.
If you're into it too, come find me. I will talk about this for a genuinely embarrassing amount of time.
what's actually in my watch history
Four channels I keep coming back to, for very different reasons.
pulled from everything I actually watch, not just the four above.
the newest rabbit hole
node graphs, wires, and everything running live
picked it up recently · still very much a beginner
I fell into TouchDesigner recently and it's the most fun I've had building something in a while. It's node-based: you wire operators together and the whole graph cooks live, 60 times a second. No build step, no refresh. You drag a wire and the output changes while you're looking at it, which makes it dangerously easy to lose three hours.
First real thing I built with it: a window you frame with your fingers that either reveals a bright shape or makes you vanish into a frozen photo of the empty room behind you. The technical writeup lives over in #portfolio.
I'm nowhere near good at this yet, so this goes both ways. If you actually know TouchDesigner, teach me something. I'll take any tip going. If you're just starting out, I'll happily walk you through everything I've figured out so far. And if you only want to yap about node graphs, that counts too.
