It's been a while but I was learning to songwrite and record a few years ago. Been focusing on education lately so not as much time for it these days.

For the last year and a half I've been writing and drawing a fluffy, sapphic comic based on a very unserious British science-fiction show about a time travelling alien in a blue box (4 chapters so far). It's on AO3.
Has anyone asked OP what they create? What do you create, OP?
Solid comic!
I grow crystals all day. I have a cool idea for a video game so I've been learning Godot recently too.
I’m living on an old farm with lots of junk.
So naturally I am building an 8 foot tall wind-driven kinetic sculpture of a Wendigo.
I bought a welder and a cutoff saw. All the materials are retrieved from the trash gully that every respectable high desert property must have.
It’s a form of cope and even ritual magic for me. Embody the spirit of hoarding and greed so it is vulnerable and can be imprisoned, that sort of vibe.
It will take all winter to finish it. The rebar armature is flexible and bobs in the wind. I will add sun bleached oak branches to give it flesh.
Woww🤩🤩
I draw angels mostly, but I do draw fanart from time to time as well! I've uploaded progress pictures, timelapses, and files associated with my work, too!
Huh. I've never considered the IA as a place to upload my pictures.
Really cool work - you don't happen to be on BSky or tumblr, maybe?
A bunch of FOSS hardware and software. https://twystlock.com was my latest creation. My next is a suite of modular open source home automation sensors including everything from air quality to mmWave presence.
In a more "professional" FOSS sense I just presented a new federated identity management system at IIW based on ActivityPub and OpenID Connect: https://fedid.me.
I also make a lot of behind the scenes algorithms.
A mess
Cortisol
Disappointment
Philosophical ramblings to justify my existence, which according to capitalism has no value because I don’t have the ability to work.
I'm working on an audiobook of a novel I wrote. I have another recording session today with voice actors who play my characters!
Oh, that must be exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time, seeing your characters come to life. How do you convey what you imagine the characters to sound and act like?
Oh yeah, its amazing to hear the voices for these people but, as you say, it's scary. Since I'm the director and creator it all falls to me to decide everything. I mean EVERYTHING from inflictions in their voices, how a line is delivered, scheduling, payment etc. Of course, I give my actors freedom to interpret how they see the characters. You have to have a fine balance between making decisions but also letting them be creative with what they do during directing sessions.
Resentment in others.
Burritos
I created an email service called https://port87.com
It’s got fancy features that help you stay organized and spam free.
I also create loads of open source software, which I use for it:
https://sveltematerialui.com - A UI library for the Svelte framework.
https://nymph.io - An object relational mapper for Node.js and the browser.
https://github.com/sciactive/nephele - A WebDAV server with encryption, deduplication, and S3 support.
Currently? Walnut ink.
That sounds interesting. What's the process for making it? What colour does it come out?
I have a big sprawling scifi universe I draw pictures of. There is a lot of lore in my head for it that I really am going to write down and present now that there are so many visuals.
My body is a machine that turns caffeine into uptime.
Worldbuilding and video games! :(
Have you read Vermis?
I create stupid jokes and sarcastic comments on Lemmy.
But mostly just a lot of CO²
And a lot of um... excretions, liquids and soilds, ya know...
I wanted to do worldbuilding and write a story but my depression kinda derailed that 😓
I create web applications! 🎉 (AKA I’m a typical Lemmy user.)
Holy shit, we are dozens!
Chaos and discord.
You made Discord?
🤔
When is the Chaos app gonna be released and how is it different from the Discord app?
more scams that just auto download to your computer
I had a shop that made flaming nipple tassels, though I just closed down until the future is more certain. I also create sideshow and fire performances. My most recent one involves a drill and my skull.
And finally, a lot of D&D content, such as an entire world setting inspired by the tarot deck
an entire world setting inspired by the tarot deck
This just makes me so happy!
I am a senior data architect and infrastructure programmer. I build the tools and design the data persistence that folks at my company use to build solutions for clients.
Small mutant corn plants in little containers.
I have a podcast that I create with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object—such as a ceiling fan, or a paper clip, or a toilet brush—and we create a movie plot based on that object. The show is called Almost Plausible, and can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.
Duct tape and cardboard solutions to questions like "How do I get these two pieces of photography equipment to work together?"
I had a professor whose ice breaker question was some version of, "what book do you want to write/planning to write?" Everyone seems to have one.
Might not be as relevant today after blogs perhaps cleared that out of peoples' systems.
As for me, I cycle through mostly craft-based hobbies. Embroidery, leather work, candle making, 3D printing. I can make candles much faster than I can burn them, so that's self-limiting. 3D printing is great to have the materials and skills for, and I'm slowly learning to design in Blender. But at the moment I only use it when I suddenly need to have a thing-a-ma-widget and remember: "hey! I've got a 3D printer. Of course I can make a valve stem cover!"
I'll probably be back to leather crafts as we head into the fall and winter.
Tools that are used to create human misery on a mass scale.
MS office software engineer?
Nope. I'm going to stay vague so I won't DOX myself, but the only stable job I could find in years is for an organization that doesn't have the best intentions for humanity (or profit strangely enough) and actively hurts people.
I was in the same boat. When I couldn't take it anymore I quit. I have been unemployed for just under two years now. Whatever you end up doing, stay strong.
I like to create software tools for people smarter than me to create bigger and better things.
A hopeful path towards peace for people who struggle with stress at their job.
I organize electrons in ways that make fancy sand organize more electrons.
