bird folks

I'm apparently an old computer (not really; see about)

[syntax-error]

Haven’t posted for close to a year so maybe I should?

I’ve been hella flat out with medical stuff - ADHD diagnosis, heart problems, mental crap.

Not much into retro computing now, which is a shame - never really talk about it, not in any communities, kind of a shame.

I’d like to open an arcade in the near future even if that’s utterly stupid financially - feels like my purpose I guess. I know it helps people.

I said last time that events from 2016 didn’t really affect me now and now it’s almost like a past life that I feel detached from so that’s good. 

Asks were closed so I opened them up again.

Hope each and every one of you has been doing great!

Hi all, I haven’t posted here in two years but I’m still alive - I escaped to @bisco and that’s where I’ve been ever since. Things are better now and I’m not afraid anymore!

[syntax-error]

Oh yeah, I forgot to say I’m basically just posting there now so don’t expect any future updates here unless I’m really bored, and a few people did message me on this account and I never replied so uh, yeah, sorry about that. I’m lousy at keeping track of things. Honestly, I was kinda out of it when I made this post, not in a bad way but in an unable to focus way. The last line probably should have read something more like “shit’s better now, sorry for hiding for two years”. I just kinda realised it was close to exactly 2 years since that post, y’know? And I still get messages, I still get followers, blahblahblah.

I’m okay though and I felt like I didn’t want the last stuff on this blog to be fucked up and sad or even triggering to anyone, so that stuff’s hidden. It’s history. It was a dark time and that was a reflection of how bad things were, all I’ll say is I’m free of that now, I’m on medication, gonna go for a few more diagnoses soon and as far as I know there’s no toxic people in my life so I should be fine.

The past is the past and that’s where it’s going to stay. Honestly a lot of this stuff here is irrelevant to who or what I am now anyway. That isn’t to say the past hasn’t affected me but I’m not gonna let it control my future, basically. Or something. I dunno, it’s not meant to be anything profound, I’m just saying...uh...well I guess I’m still unable to focus.

Anyway, sorry if anyone thought I was dead. That wasn’t my intention. I just had to get out of here and was freaking the fuck out. I’m pretty far from that place now. I’m fairly confident I won’t regret it

Also this blog has been on dash only for the past two years which has meant it’s been really hard to get to my old posts so I’ll undo that later.

There’s an 80s home computer called the Amstrad CPC and on it there’s a port of Contra going by the Japanese arcade game name, Gryzor. And it has a particularly sadistic ending.

Still, the other two home computer versions (Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum) just had static generic screens.

Hey, I’m feeling fucked up because of the Orlando shooting and making posts that Might Be Helpful to others makes me feel better. So here’s some positive stuff. I’m mostly linking to masterposts. If you have any suggestions for additions, please message me and I’ll add things. This is a hard time for LGBT people and I hope everyone can feel well soon.

I also realize that this can be a really hard time for a lot of people. Here are some LGBT friendly hotlines:

(For ages 13-24) The Trevor Project: 1-866-4-U-TREVOR or online at www.thetrevorproject.com

THE GLBT National Help Center

Hotline: 1-888-THE-GLNH

Youth Talkline:  1-800-246-PRIDE

GLCCB has a good masterpost, but some of them are not national, so pay attention to locality

Additionally, here’s a list of 146 things you can do instead of self-harming, because I know that things like this can be extremely upsetting.

Stay safe everyone!

good thing the steam summer sale is coming up

I honestly want to know if this new edition is going to break the old PC mods, since console mod support is a big feature of it. Especially for non-Steamworks stuff. Like, are they going to redo the whole TES Construction Kit thing and dumb it down so it’s console-compatible? Will that break existing stuff? Because PC mods have improved the graphics, not to mention everything else, for years.

Wtf your content is good and top quality

yeah several people messaged me to tell me that so idek, not to mention there’s a difference between random and shitposting, and either people get it or they don’t, I guess?

I can and do post serious, interesting stuff like weird gaming shit but if that’s all I did, I’d run out of content really fast because the well is not bottomless and it actually takes heaps of time (and resources) to scour for that stuff.
