PENS.

SO MANY PENS.

(I was at the San Francisco Pen Show last weekend. Many pens were... written with.)

In between pen fondling, I managed to get a good portion of the new Intiface Tutorial done. The pure-web version is done, now it's mostly down to finishing up Intiface Desktop setup/install/check steps. Hoping to have this out in the next week or two.

The major problem now is figuring out where it goes. When I wrote the original Buttplug tutorial, we had a crappy, hard-to-extend GUI. Intiface Desktop is basically a full web browser (thanks, electron), so I've got a lot more room to work. Trying to decide if I want to integrate it into Intiface AND have it on the web or what. I have given myself way too many options here.

After this, it's back to finishing buttplug-py, then hopefully getting to implementing new messages and maybe rolling all libraries to v1 before the end of the year.

FFXIV Buttplugs

For those of you watching twitter, the Final Fantasy XIV ACT plugins made the rounds again after a redditor updated ButtplACT (https://github.com/crnlskn/ButtplACT/) and posted about it there. It got some traction this time, making it to a couple of gaming blogs. Pretty awesome!

Though weirdly enough, there's now like, 3-4 FFXIV ACT plugins using Buttplug. It's possibly the most implementations of something using Buttplug at the moment. Unexpected. Like, we only have 2 movie players right now (3 if you could the Kodi work done in 2017).

Anyways, I'm gonna try to make a video about this soon. I just gotta figure out how to play FFXIV first. If anyone is interested and plays, lemme know.

Other Buttplug Stuff

The FFXIV thing sent me on a vanity search of github, and I managed to find some other projects using Buttplug, including:

• https://github.com/hottail/HotTail - One of the other ACT plugins I mentioned
• https://github.com/BytewaveMLP/DGButtPlugin - A Duck Game Buttplug Mod?!
• https://github.com/Inari-Whitebear/KSPButtplug - A Kerbal Space Program mod I had forgotten about

It's really neat finding projects that use buttplug that I didn't even know about! Gonna work toward featuring more of these on Metafetish.

Businessy Stuff

While I'm not sure anyone cares, work on the Nonpolynomial website continues apace. Once this is done, I'll be doing more blogging about the technical side of Buttplug/Intiface, while keeping content related posts (like the mod announcements above) to Metafetish.

That's it for now. Until next week, Keep Buttpluggin'!
