How much gear do you have to strap to yourself for the vtuber thing? Is the position tracking stuff largely IMU-based? Is there drift you have to periodically zero out?

For 2D it's all using optical tracking via a webcam and then using something like mediapipe or OpenSeeFace to do feature extraction and tracking on the live video feed.

It's not super ideal, and I would love to get like, a full set of SlimeVR or what have you to do more proper full-body tracking, especially if I was to move to 3D.

What's your favourite obscure book?

Oh gosh, what kind of book are we talking about here, like, fiction, non-fiction, reference? Also I have a very hard time picking out what "favorite" even means...

On the fiction side, I would say I am very much enjoying a trashy web-novel called 「かませ役♂に憑依転生した俺はTSを諦めない」currently.

On the non-fiction side, "High-Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic" is pretty good, but I don't know how obscure it is.

Where do you grab footprints? Or do you diy them?

It depends on the footprint! If it's a standard battle tested one and is in the KiCad libraries, I will use that, otherwise I roll it myself.

I put most of them here! https://codeberg.org/lethalbit/aki-eda

Do you have any feelings / opinion on the PC game Turing Complete by LevelHead?

Nothing strong, I've seen some gameplay of it, and it looks neat, but not really something I would play mainly because i've got so much other stuff I do for work that is related :v

how did you learn all the cool tech wizard stuff you know???

I let the brainworms run free and basically just followed where they pointed and what I was interested in. One thing lead to another and here we are!

Which FPGA "IDE" (e.g. Vivado, Intel Quartus, Microchip Libero, etc.) that you worked with do you consider the worst and which one the best?

I've worked with Vivado, Diamond, and Radiant, and they are all uniquely awful in their own special ways. All vendor tooling sucks so badly.

So, I think they're all the worst and there are no winners :v

Which Fedi account do you consider your main one? The @vt.social or the @chaos.social? I'm always confused where to like/rewoot/response 😅

I use both pretty identically, but I guess the vt is more geared to VTuber stuff and chaos for everything else, but yeah they're evenly split so just pick one!

What is a crush?

A crush is when you have a bubbly floaty feeling when thinking about someone and think about how nice it would be to spend a whole whole whole lot of time with them

How many SCSIs does the SCSI girl SCSI when she needs to SCSI
