man.. its been almost as long since I've been on a classic forum. Takes getting used to again haha. Anyhow, paid around 160K for it. Only downside is I live in The Corn™

Discord doesn't allow external hotlinking, so they show as blank to me; you have to reüpload them to an actual image host (I recommend ImgBB).

Granted; it's now empty.

I wish my knee wasn't fucked up.

Nifty! Was it difficult to install?

There's a guide for it, but adding more software after the fact is kinda a pain in the butt, and I never did figure out how to transfer files into the VM.

The people demand IRIX-hime and -kun representation! (it's me I'm people)

SO TRUE, Touko made more sense as a Windows-tan than this weird sassy child we seem to have for 11.
At least with Touko the trend was making her a psycho yandere.

I'm partial to my fanon's version of the Windows 10-tan as a hivemind knwon as the Decima. -w-

Oh?

IMHC, there are three separate IRIXen: 4D1-tan (as IRIX was originally known), the usual IRIX-tan, plus separate OS-kun for IRIX 5 and IRIX 6.

IRIX 5-kun (English name Isaac Clark, Japanese name Isaku Shoki [書記委策]): A larger gentleman who appears to be in his late 30s or early 40s with a bushy beard, always jovial and clad in aloha shirts, with whom his sister is generally embarrassed to be seen. I think he should have the same powers as his sister, but I don't see him wearing shades like hers, just regular eyeglasses.

IRIX 6-kun (English name Indigo Clark, Japanese name Mugen Shoki [書記無限], usually first-name mononymous in both languages): A high-school or perhaps early college-aged kid with short blue hair and shades in the same style as his sister's, who wears a silver body- or tracksuit with glowing indigo lines, and is of a similar disposition to his sister. Was wed to Linux-tan in an arranged marriage in the late 90s (when it was rumored that SGI was planning to replace IRIX with a custom Linux distribution; regardless, SGI was and is a massive contributor to Linux) and lives aboard her spaceship. Wears socks only when aboard, as he hates the sound of his footfalls echoing throughout the corridors. He and Linux-tan created the fighting game M.U.G.E.N as a sort of pocket universe, thus explaining the presence of OS-tan characters.

The Irixen (4D1-tan, IRIX-tan, IRIX 5-kun, and IRIX 6-kun) are probably benefactrices and -tors of the Vintage Federation since, in the real world, the Computer History Museum is in a building formerly occupied by SGI.

I don't have much written down on our Discord server about the Decima, because a lot of the building for that was on another community's server which has long since imploded , but the Decima Project is a hivemind of various nodes that collectively represent Windows 10-tan, and they communicate externally in unison when necessary.

Have you seen Juzo-kun's Linux OS-tan? I'm quite partial to them -w-

It is for sure a bit strange to not have any animators on board on this project, unless you already have it planned?

Are you even aware of how difficult and time consuming animating is? Animating traditionally that is. With modern AI slop I guess one can make animation "easier". Animating by a human is probably the most challenging part of an animation process.

Typically animations are done before voice acting, at least the rough animation concept. It's easier to have a VA act to an animation, than an animator animating to a voice clip. Unless in some rare instances where the VA did contribute to the animation simply from their video recorded performance while doing the voice lines.

If RaitoninqXaara even tests the waters of slop, I'm out. Fuck that shit.

Thank you. Selectric-kun is challenging to draw. In general I'm not great with drawing guys who aren't prettyboys ... FASTRAND-kun is the outlier.

Need to make a part 2 with the rest of the "go my scarab" gif.

I think he looks pretty good

Okay 

FWMC SAGE and Multics-tan (the evil fluffy one and the fuzzy one)

Unix-tan meme request from Stew, and Amiga-tan on roller skates, because she looks like she should be on roller skates.

Kabedon teamwork with SAGE, IBM 728-kun and FASTRAND-kun

Naturally.  Love them as the demon guard dogs!

I don't remember requesting that but sure.  Amiga-tan does look very at home on skates.

Making the dream work!

Now I want to see SAGE-tan stuck in bed because Amiga-tan and AMIX-tan are piled on top of her >w<
