    Using webcam to control Live2D Cubism model in Linux

    TL;DR: Code: GitHub, self-hosted, demo: video below

    I was researching how to get FaceRig to work on Linux, and eventually concluded that it is pretty much impossible. So I thought, hey, why not just code it myself? It can’t be that difficult, right? I mean, it probably won’t be as feature-rich as the original, but all I need / want is the basic “avatar moving along with my face” functionality.

    So I spent a couple weekends, digging up the (very poorly translated) Live2D docs (but still, kudos to Live2D Inc for actually translating them), struggled with some questionable anti-patterns, and arrived with this:

    Source code available on GitHub and my own server. Yes the code is kind of messy and could do some refactorings, but it works so I couldn’t be bothered. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    With some input and suggestions from another user I have also created a spin-off project, where instead of using facial tracking, the avatar is controlled by mouse cursor position and customizable via a UI.

    Some more demos (not really that important so I haven’t bothered self-hosting them):

    Source code for this spin-off project: GitHub, self-hosted.

    Please feel free to get in touch for any comments, suggestions, bug reports, questions, or any kind of feedback!

    En passant bug in Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics

    In a live stream by Oga Namome it has been discovered that in the chess game in Nintendo’s Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, a bug exists where if a player is:

    • in check, and
    • the only legal move is to take a pawn en passant,

    then the game will incorrectly announce checkmate.

    Below is a clip of that moment:

    Venus

    Venus(?) next to the Moon, bright as fuck.

    Also saw two more fainter stars (to my right - North? Venus was to my left), one of them is probably Vega. The other Altair maybe?

    Am I the only one who doesn’t like the new Firefox 70 logo? Now it looks like yet another Chromium-derivative.
