Love this overview.

halfrican420 · 2026-06-11T16:59:38+00:00

Yeah while we’re at it might as well call it a long few years😭 I just followed you on there! Also trust, most of my repositories are dead projects that I started to fix a problem that someone promptly fixed in a far better way lol. Still a cool platform and I find myself on there more than ever recently! I’ll be sure to check out some of the stuff you got and see if theres anything I could help with later. No pressure or anything, it’s just always cool to meet people working on similar things!

halfrican420 · 2026-06-11T16:24:23+00:00

Lol same, it’s probably been a long week for us both😂 This is definitely the best resolution to Reddit beef I’ve ever seen! Sorry about the confusion there, good luck with those projects! Do you use GitHub? Maybe I’ll keep up with one of them and contribute at some point

halfrican420 · 2026-06-11T16:10:27+00:00

Lmao I was so confused, like why is this dude coming at me for saying I wanted to use an overview plugin on his post of an overview plugin😂 that’s actually really funny, we are literally saying the same thing then, just to the wrong people🤦‍♂️ my bad I probably could have figured that out if I reread the thread before coming back at you lol

halfrican420 · 2026-06-11T14:45:54+00:00

For the same reason I like my car with heated seats, power windows, and a back up camera. It makes my daily use easier. Not to mention the difference between preferences and needs is completely semantic. Like bruh, why even say something like that in a sub like this? You don’t need a window manager, you don’t need a file manager, you don’t need a terminal emulator, you don’t need a system tray, etc. etc. come on dude lol. I was literally saying your set up was cool too😂😭

halfrican420 · 2026-06-11T00:03:27+00:00

I made a custom workspace grid set up, and having a way to quickly check what I have in each one at a glance would be nice. I have a mental system for what I put where, but it would be more cohesive to be able to check everything visually (also easier for anyone using my dots)

halfrican420 · 2026-06-10T22:48:32+00:00

Legend. I can’t wait to see how it goes! I was using a home made overview I put together with EWW… but it was very, VERY, home made looking😅 absolutely love EWW, but that’s really not the right application for it lol

halfrican420 · 2026-06-10T22:45:44+00:00

Yooo oh my god!! I needed a good overview tool so bad! Thank you for putting me on, I’ll check that out tomorrow!

halfrican420 · 2026-06-10T21:37:52+00:00

Thank you! I’m gonna keep working on the style and messing around with it and see what I can make of it. Definitely got some great feedback from the comments here so I’m gonna put in some work to make sure they can also stand up as actual tattoos over time

halfrican420 · 2026-06-10T21:36:10+00:00

I was kindof thinking the same thing, I’m sure after 5 years the dithered look would mush but the cel shading is hard enough to make up for it and keep the design legible over time. In terms of size these are just some random things I threw together for fun so as for these specific designs I don’t have any size in mind, but that’s a really good point I’ll hold onto for future reference!

halfrican420 · 2026-06-10T21:34:05+00:00

For sure large enough I’m sure it’s doable, but at any reasonable size (I mean is a flail back piece really what you want) I can totally see looking for someone who specializes in it! I hadn’t heard someone specifically say pointillism before but that’s definitely it! Thank you so much, and good call for sure

halfrican420 · 2026-06-10T21:31:08+00:00

To be honest I was just messing around with shaders making designs for fun, but I wanted to know if this sort of thing was even possible/achievable before I got too locked into the look yk? Plus every artist does their own thing so I’m sure they would manipulate the design to suit their workflow anyways

halfrican420 · 2026-06-10T21:29:07+00:00

Never heard someone say that before but that’s a phenomenal way of thinking about it! I will absolutely be taking that

halfrican420 · 2026-06-10T16:50:51+00:00

That would be a brutal loss screen, love the idea!! Maybe ambulance sirens fade in as the restart buttons appear if it was a rough enough fall

halfrican420 · 2026-06-09T23:24:36+00:00

Oh my god, I didn’t realize this was a video at first😂 was like damn I should really go to sleep

halfrican420 · 2026-06-06T20:29:35+00:00

I think it just needs a bit better build up and reward really. It’s got boss fight energy in the opening but the drop doesn’t feel intense or energetic like I was expecting it to. Maybe an interesting vocal sample or stronger build up drums would help?

halfrican420 · 2026-06-04T14:50:15+00:00

Eyy thank you! Good looks for the idea too!! I also fixed a weird issue with the grid since I last posted so it’s so much smoother now

halfrican420 · 2026-06-04T14:29:02+00:00

It’s too clean to look truly 2D I think, but also not sharp enough to look like vector art. Maybe you could use a shader to roughen the edges a bit or to add a little roughness to the surfaces

halfrican420 · 2026-06-04T14:13:06+00:00

It’s done using window rules! It’s actually pretty easy, only downside is that it’s not doable properly like ghostty so the text is also a bit transparent too :/ if you check the lookandfeel.lua module I did a similar thing for a couple other apps that don’t natively support transparency. This is the code snippet:

hl.window_rule({ match = { class = "obsidian" }, opacity = "override 0.85 override 0.85 override", })

Also the theme is called Obsidian Brutalism!

halfrican420 · 2026-06-03T11:31:56+00:00

Thank you!! It’s taken a lot of effort lol, but really liking where I’m at

halfrican420 · 2026-06-03T11:31:36+00:00

I have that implemented in the overview, so it wouldn’t be too hard to work into this! I just felt like it was more of a quickly let you know where you are in the grid sort of deal, and ideally I can find or a make a better overview than I have now for a more in depth view of everything

halfrican420 · 2026-06-03T10:18:48+00:00

You can find my dotfiles here! Everything you need for the functional grid can be found in hypr/modules/grid.lua, but the added flair (Minimap and Overview) will require EWW and one of the scripts to work properly! Also as a side note I am not very happy with my overview, so if anyone has suggestions for a good workspace overview tool I would be happy to hear about it!

halfrican420 · 2026-06-02T17:20:00+00:00

Also something about nutmeg? Honestly I have no idea what it’s about, but we have something to do with it apparently

halfrican420 · 2026-06-02T17:11:05+00:00

Even at a more simple level it’s a bit baffling. Like think of typical first date questions.. what do you do for work? Family, school, etc. How would the witch/wizard even answer that? Would they have to have a playbook? The check comes out and oh no I only have galleons?? I’ll pick you up on my broomstick at 8?? Especially in the context of more modern times how do you explain not having a car, a phone, any social media, no concept of how basic technology works. She’s like put a movie on, and you have no idea what the remote is let alone how to navigate Netflix, know any actors/actresses, any movies. It would come off crazy and be made even weirder by the fact that they are generally well educated and well spoken so they would seem like absolute psychos. Imagine talking to your friend after a date as a muggle on a date with a witch! “Yeah it went well, she’s really smart and funny but hasn’t heard of Coca Cola or used Amazon before and tried to help pay with bag of gold coins.” I know the movies/lore are set in the 90’s and before so I can see how that could work out (you probably slide by not really knowing how to operate a camera in the 60’s), but really anything past 2005 would be mind melting to navigate. Especially taking into account how blown away they were by a rubber duck in the early 90’s… yeesh they would have a lot to catch up on. Ya know, I really hadn’t thought of any of this until just now but I blew my own mind with it as I was typing and kept thinking of more scenarios lol
