I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.
Disappointment
What do you create?

I’m working on an audiobook of a novel I wrote. I have another recording session today with voice actors who play my characters!
Menschlicher_Fehler@feddit.org 4 weeks ago
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?
Monster96@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.

Is this an already published book? Or are you releasing it concurrently with the audiobook?
Monster96@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I’m releasing it concurrently with the book. I’ve still got a lot to do before I can release anything however so I’m just doing the chapters that I know are 100% done

Philosophical ramblings to justify my existence, which according to capitalism has no value because I don’t have the ability to work.

Me: “If I make a new mascot platformer with vertex colors, maybe someone would get me out of here? What are the chances and outcomes? Would I even have enough time to make something decent with current conditions?”
Blender, Godot 4, player controller in Nim-lang via gdext-nim, and on top of the 3 hats I need to learn I don’t have many viable ideas.
Also somewhat related to the social isolation thread in showerthoughts, I live on the edge of nowhere and don’t even want to drive.

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.

I created an email service called 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:
sveltematerialui.com - A UI library for the Svelte framework.
nymph.io - An object relational mapper for Node.js and the browser.
github.com/sciactive/nephele - A WebDAV server with encryption, deduplication, and S3 support.

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.

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 😓
dubyakay@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Time to get off lemmy. Go for a run/jog/walk in the cold to the nearest stationery store and buy some pen and paper. Then get home and get to writing.
You can do it!

A bunch of FOSS hardware and software. 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: fedid.me.
I also make a lot of behind the scenes algorithms.

MisterNeon@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.

Machines that put cameras in the right place and lighting. Then identifies things.
Mostly agriculture and/or pharma related.

I organize electrons in ways that make fancy sand organize more electrons.

(Laser?) Machines for semiconductor fab. Given the time of day, I’d wager ASML, cause there’s not much else happening in that branche in Europe.
azdle@news.idlestate.org 4 weeks ago
Nothing near that impressive. I don’t make the fancy sand, I just move electrons around with fancy sand that someone else made, aka programming.
ShepherdPie@midwest.social 4 weeks ago
“AZ” in the username meaning they might work at one of the fabs in Phoenix
konalt@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I would’ve assumed just a programming job/hobby. The programming is the organizing of the electrons and the semiconductor fab is the organizer of the fancy sand?

Duct tape and cardboard solutions to questions like “How do I get these two pieces of photography equipment to work together?”
meyotch@slrpnk.net 4 weeks ago
I recommend you try gaffer tape instead of duct tape.
Advantages:
- Remains flexible and removable forever.
- Looks nicer, a cool matte black or manynother colors.
Where I get off making this recommendation:
I needed a light-excluding bellows for a photographic project. I made one using black illustration stock and gaffer tape. It worked extremely well on the first version and held up to hundreds of cycles of extension/compression. My application was sensitive to pinhole light leakage and there was none.
It would have lasted longer but that was the end of that project.
My two cents. I love DIY stuff!
dddontshoot@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Fair comment. I used gaffer tape a lot at the beginning of my journey because it was convenient and available, but everything I built fell apart eventually, so I started using cloth duct tape. I recently discovered aluminium duct tape which is genuinely amazing. It’s like regular cloth duct tape, but it can be shaped really precisely, and it holds it’s shape even if everything else falls apart around it.

This month I’m building Bluetooth headphones for a teen I work with, he needs them to function but his parents won’t spend money on them and he keeps breaking the cheap sets he has.
I’m working with a school metal shop to make steel frames for them and I’ve made the cups 3d printable and easy to replace. Of he does manage to break these, it will take no skill to repair them.

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

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.

Lots of poo.
A good bit actually though. I’m disabled, so no job. This means that while I’m on my ass recovering from the necessities of living like cooking and cleaning, I have a shit ton of spare time.
Part of that is spent fucking around on lemmy.
The rest is usually spent on some variety or another of writing fiction. Short stories, a few ongoing novels, that sort of thing. Here and there a poem or song will pop in my head.
Then there’s a bit of panting, occasional drawing, that kind of visual art.
I’ve also been known to run ttrpg sessions here and there, which is its own art form in a way.
