Hello There!
Howdy! I'm headass, and this is the website I use to test out CSS, have an excuse to make 88x31s, ramble, and flex on. I'm primarily a tech artist and PA at a virtual production studio; in my free time I tend to write software and play video games, sometimes I live-tweet or stream them, respectively. You can look into more of those by clicking anything yellow.
Site Info
There are four main segments of this site, which can be found at the top.
Home This
Projects A mirror of my programming projects portfolio, with the occasional backstory/roadmap depending on how dead it is.
Blog A place for me to write longer-form (sometimes dramatic) pieces on useless topics nobody cares about.
FAQ Not-so-frequently asked questions. Mostly a place for me to dump instructions to recreate a part of my setup.

I fucking hate web "developers!"
If you reach a point in JS where you need to use types, you've exceeded the use case for JS/TS.
EIGHTY-EIGHT BY THIRTY-ONE DOT WEBP
Mine! This is a screenshot of my character from Ghost Recon Breakpoint (2019), and designed to look like a Windows 10 button, instead of a 9x button like most other 88x31s Very good, life-long friend. Also my neighbor. Seems to be the only person I know who shares my love for metro/MDL2! Enough to actually write UWP apps. Utterly fucking deranged. Dense as tungsten. Pretty fun to talk to at times! I unironically dailied a Razer Phone 2, from late 2025 to late 2026. It runs a slightly modified version of LineageOS 18.1, and I absolutely love it. Your life is NOTHING. You serve ZERO PURPOSE. You should kill yourself, NOW! I've dealt with android for the VAST majority of my life and still don't know what this actually means. It's still funny. My favoite handgun! Muh Two World Wars type shit. But that's not why, I just like it. Imagine if VRChat was good and had the unity editor (but bad) built-in. And the obnoxiously horny catgirls were full-on furries. The Only Valid Linux Desktop Environment. My go-to language for projects that don't interface with graphics APIs. ./don.mp4 Is mw2 but mods, dunno what else to say. Based on a popular(ish) bumper sticker. Flat-out the best IDEs you can buy. If you see a vector graphic, 3D model, or edited video from me, it was made in blender. The Razer Phone and USAF 88x31s on this page were animated in blender, although mostly constructed in GIMP (the latter ended up getting completely reconstructed aside from the sun flares). Everybody gangsta 'till the sky starts missing pixels. Tim sweeney has me blocked on Twitter, by the way! HUUH. HUUH. HUUH. HUUH. HUUH. HUUH. HUUH. HUUH. HUUH. HUUH. HUUH. :3 CrossFire's whole thing was using two lower-spec cards to make one better, right? What if I used two 88x31s to make an 88x62? If you don't use IDA, just tell me you don't know where to find a crack, I can help you. The lil guys are funny. Also lighthouse tech is super cool and I like it a lot. Switched to it in late 2019 because tumblr ran faster and haven't looked back. I drive one (the one pictured!) I love it. I find it quaint how 1080p, the bottom-of-the-barrel modern resolution, was seen as ABOVE HD at the time, to where you'd put stickers on displays to brag about it. I've never actually lowballed on marketplace. I've only ever used it to buy a Rift CV1 for $60 Genuinely one of the worst things to happen to the modern gaming industry, next to nvidia and DLSS. Fight me. The kinects were genuinely too good for the world/industry they were released into. I have all 3 and the azure kinect is easily my favorite single piece of hardware I own.

Osiris

Lenovo ThinkPad T450S

  • Intel Core i5-5300U
  • 12GB DDR3
  • 256GB SSD, macOS 10.15 Catalina

Got me through high school. Got replaced by Escharum

Escharum

Lenovo ThinkPad T495S

  • AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U
  • AMD Vega 10 iGPU
  • 16GB DDR4
  • 512GB SSD, Arch Linux

Got replaced by Orion

FentBook Pro Max

Apple MacBook Pro (15", retina, Early 2013)

  • Intel Core i7-3635QM
  • Nvidia GeForce GT 650M
  • 16gb DDR3
  • 256gb SSD, OS X 10.15 Catalina

Bassus

Dell XPS 15 9550

  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M
  • 16 GB DDR4
  • 256GB SATA M.2 SSD, Fedora 44 KDE

Honestly might've replaced Orion, if it had a good battery, and didn't have a gnarly iGPU issue where certain shades of grey produced vertically repeating red lines. It's a super interesting and somewhat avoidable issue, but too much for a daily-driver laptop.

FentBook Pro

  • Intel Core i5-520M
  • Nvidia GeForce GT 330M
  • 8GB DDR3
  • 500GB HDD, OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks

Nice to have around for old OSX things. I also use it to sync my iPod!

Future - I didn't name it. If you know, you know.

Mac Pro (2007)

  • 2x Intel Xeon X5365
  • 8GiB 800 MT/s DDR2
  • Nvidia Quadro 4000 (Mac edition)
  • BlackMagic DeckLink HD Extreme 3D +
  • 500GB HDD, OS X 10.11 El Capitan

And more, but those are all the named ones

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 (primary)
  • Razer Phone 2 (I don't want to let go :( )
  • Google Pixel 6 128gb (camera/backup)

  • Xbox One S (500gb, doing nothing but means something to me)
  • Nintendo Switch (Hackable)
  • Xbox (100gb IDE (yes! native IDE!) HDD, custom bios, barely used)
VR:
  • Bigscreen Beyond 2e
    • Valve Index Controllers
    • 2x HTC Vive Wand (1.0) - Mostly foot trackers, main controllers for certain games.
    • 2x Tundra Tracker - One for hip when Resonite wants to cooperate, the other a spare
    • 2x HTC Vive Base Stations (1.0)
    • HTC Vive Tracker (3.0) - Sits on my desk. Useful for bits and jokes
  • PlayStation VR2 - Backup headset. The spare tundra is bolted to the top, and the sense controllers are paired to a vision pro at work.
  • Valve index - Backup headset.
  • Oculus Rift - I really like the controllers.
  • PlayStation VR - Literally just for Astro Bot, Driveclub VR and maybe WipEout.
  • A BUSTED TO SHIT Oculus Quest 1. The right controller doesn't work, and every strap mounting point is snapped off. It was good for one thing for the few months I didn't have a PC, and was an absolute fucking nightmare from then on until I got an Index. I occasionally used the controllers as foot trackers until the right one stopped connecting.
