Software and hardware I use

Software

Type Software Rationale
Drawing Krita (aseprite for pixel art) Krita is really good :3 I use it for pixel art too, but aseprite's tooling is much better for games
Text and code editing Emacs (with evil mode) Vim now features AI slop, so switched to emacs with evil mode. Vim keybinds are too deep in my muscle memory
Notes Obsidian, standard text editor For the most part, I use obsidian, since it's better at the visual parts of proper notes. Its developer experience is awful though, would not recommend making plugins for it. I often use my code editor as well, though not as much for notes I want to keep long-term
Desktop environment KDE (primary), cinnamon (secondary) I really like cinnamon, but it has problems that make it unusable for certain things. KDE is much more stable
Browser Firefox Firefox is one of very few engines that aren't under Google's control.
Recording, streaming OBS Solid bit of software; it just works. Not that I stream all that much anymore, but whenever I need to record something, or the rare time I do stream, it's OBS (unless I'm streaming on discord for obvious reasons)

Hardware

  • OS: Arch Linux
