After a while you just kind of get used to it, I think.

Runny egg, with long hair, is a bold decision, however. Use a bobble and tie your hair back for that one!

Night 🤝 the desire to make unwise impulse purchases

Look after yourself first. 💜

Hiya Everyone. Yeah. For many reasons I've already discussed, and after talking to various friends, I've made the decision to quit streaming, at least indefinitely. I'm leaving the door open, because there may be a day I feel better and able to stream with passion and energy. I could bemoan the state of the industry I once put my heart and soul into, or the fact that much of the space and people I trusted and felt truly welcomed by, is and are no longer accessible or exist at all. I think it's many things, and those above, all colluding together in my head to deprive me of the passion I once had, and the love for all of this I once channelled into my work, and the community. I will slowly work to stop using my Bluesky, and I'll be locking the Discord in the next 24 hours. The Bluesky may be replaced, or I may just permanently switch to my personal. I'll still be knocking around, helping out those who haven't soured to me over the last year, and still moderating in some of your communities. I hope some of you will remain the friends I trust and adore. I hope to still help the odd person with their constantly crashing OBS install. I'll also still be doing photography. I'll be advertising that from now on. I may make the odd video, and commission art of my OC's. Maybe I'll be back. Never say never. Thank you all for giving me a place on the internet where I could be myself. Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to do something I had wanted to do for so many years. I hope I made as much of a positive imprint on you all as you all did to me. For now though, this is my stop. So long, and thanks for all the fish. Mizore

Please read.

Once read, please repost so there's at least a chance of some mutuals seeing this.

I am so sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing his wonder with us.

Just use the em-dash — don’t let them steal your joy.

Why are they still there then? Why is he still there? Why are they letting him do it? What are they doing about it?

They have power to stop it: do they want to, or not?

New content idea 🤡 💜

I actually do think it’s deliberate. There’s probably even evidence of that. We should seek that evidence out.

Yep. I know. Same. Made the point. It’s life or death for me.

Thanks (and fully understood, I wouldn’t either!). 💜

Actually I think maybe I might just lean into it.

True, but it shouldn’t even be a question.

This whole thing has been an entirely unnecessary, dishonest, transphobic hate campaign - but it doesn’t even win votes, in fact it loses deposits.

But they still aren’t listening, so I guess… we need voices so loud they cannot be ignored. Wish we didn’t.

… maybe not a direct link; Internet Archive?

Thank you.

Point: is there supposed to be an introductory line before the quote about who you’re quoting from? That part reads confusingly. (Don’t want anyone to think it’s part of your own copy!)

I mean, that’s supposed to be the job of the police. (They won’t do it, but it’s supposed to be.)

It’s supposed to be the job of the platform moderators. (They won’t do it, but it’s supposed to be.)

A good mass block helps stop it building attention, momentum or popularity, however.

Correct. 💜

Fortunately, we have nuclear block here, and any attempt at that is gonna find itself on a blocklist.

You’re finally buying Doom?

I shouldn’t ever have needed to do it; but I did, for a time, because the available healthcare wasn’t fit for purpose.

And it saved my life.

And knowing that I can gives me security, knowing that I am not just at the mercy of medics whose support and competency I know I can’t always rely on.

I did the music and the title screen background art. Fun little project!

(The soundtrack is also out now on all major platforms, including Bandcamp.)

Go for it! (Also pls go vote)

Yes.

I could probably do it in 18 *weeks* and still have time to pet Larry, but they’ve been too busy being Red Tories: digital ID cards, puberty blocker bans, proscribing pensioners as terrorists, starving kids, freezing pensioners; sometimes U-turning when their own backbenchers say “too evil”.

A forum! How adorable. Are there any invites going free?

Two instances of “Isn’t X, it’s Y”. I smell ChatGPT.

We’re all too afraid to ask.

There’s always time to repent. And read.

It gets worse over time: I completed Tempest 2000 in Beastly Mode (proof: six cups of tea) and let me tell you the controller HURT at the end of that.

That does mean putting up with the controller, however, and I’m not sure my index fingers would allow me to.

Age verification?

My first computer loaded from cassette tape.

Sometimes. When it worked. Usually didn’t first time. You might have to get out a little screwdriver, adjust the head, or move the volume 0.1mm.

I still have it. Trying to load a game the old way is a great rose-tinted nostalgia cure.
