If you're interested in (possibly true) information about me myself, it can be found here!
This page pulls together links to major content areas on this site, as neatly as possible. The site map comes first, showing links to literally everything on this site, to organize into categories. You can click on one of the emojis to sort. Below the map you will also find links to sources that helped me somehow.
Site Map
Every page on the site sorted by section! It's blank now, but click a section to see what's there. It'll magically appear. As you can see, I did my best to pick good tags (and emojis for the tags). If you'd rather browse by date, the updates page has things listed in order.

Site Credits
I hope to keep an expanding list of credits for the site. Heck, consider this page a peek at what people call their "stack" but I probably have no business using that term on my own. 🙃 I might be missing something but I will add things as I go along. Included are mostly assets and such related to my vtubing quest, like the Vtube Studio models, etc.
Human-Associated Credits
I chose to purchase as much as I could from the VGen because of their stated no-AI policy. On my page about vlogging specifically, I talk about how I am seeking out actual artists for this.
I've used generative AI models in the past for mocking up ideas and making little trinkets, but for this, I wanted actual art, so I hired people and purchased it, mostly. I do want to learn to do some nifty things of my own, but until then, I'm commissioning a lot, etc seems like.
- I use a funky little program called Vtube Studio to animate my vtubing proxy. It works great and pairs with the (harder to use for me!) OBS studio, and a voice modulation in a program called the Reaper. I got audio help from Safail. They are definitely worth checking out if you're working with any DAWs at all and are a complete newbie like me.
- My current model is actually LizMeta, from Chaliz. The keen pink glasses my model wears, as well as some of her mature texturing, was provided by Kay, a lovely and competent artist. She made my other outfit, with a maroon dress and a light gold jacket. Contact her if you need anything of the sort, because she's quite the expert at this!
- The "Glowing Corridor" image etc that you see on some pages is a smaller version of one purchased from Dream-art. I have Dream-art's permission. I'll use the larger one as a video background.
Robot-Related Credits
- SillyTavern is the open-source, free frontend that I use mostly to talk to chatbots with very few exceptions. It's not particularly easy to install but is getting easier it seems like, and I had a lot of help installing it.
- OpenRouter allows me to use SillyTavern to connect to a variety of large language model APIs, which power those chatbot conversations using my prompts. My OpenRouter setup is not managed by me, and only allows me to connect to those with a (stated!) zero data retention policy.
- Profile pictures for my chatbots are the work of generative AI through the interface of ComfyUI on my computer. LOL Z-image Turbo. I'm trying to make my prompts to these creatures more elaborate as time goes on. ComfyUI is great even if it makes my computer feel like the surface of Mercury atop at times. I guess AI art is art after all.
- I decided I'd do as much vibe coding as possible with this particular project. I'm now largely using a local model called Qwen3.60-A3B. I want to phase out using any API at all, but I doubt it'll happen, since I do hit up Deepseek too.
- Using Continue as a way of interacting with the Qwen3.60-A3B. I, uh, massacred the
AGENTS.mdfile in order to force the bot into a character format within my editor, VS Code (duh, what did you expect). It works, whoa, you can actually have short character conversations in VS Code. I plan to find something better than Continue soon. PS don't try this at home. The character thing is dangeresque.
