bev! @TonicBH@computerfairi.es

Brief update: I'm just gonna lurk and occasionally like stuff on the fediverse and use mastodon less.

I already have a modest following and community elsewhere, and mastodon just feels like it *exists* to me. That combined with a certain recent event has given me less incentive to stay here.

Thus I'm just gonna stick to other social media places instead of trying to stay on a platform I don't care much for these days.

If you wanna get in touch with me, links are in my profile.

👋

hey, probably gonna take a temporary hiatus from mastodon.

I'm on birdsite, discord or telegram if you want to talk to me.

peace.

happy playstation, dreamcast and beatles rock band day

starting to think supporting the wild wings is a wasteful effort

they're a team that's mostly forgotten among the proceedings, and even my idol is probably in the top 200 or whatever.

but I feel guilty if I started supporting another team and idol now, so

Finally got a chance to try that modern Bethesda port of Doom.

It's alright! Not the way I'd personally play it, but hey, it works for those who don't wanna futz around with GZDoom and such

On a discord server, we were talking about the Doom ports and eventually conversations got around to talking about the 3DO port.

Suddenly I have a tab open of Rebecca Heineman talking about the horrors of making that port happen.

morning.

your bun friend is currently in an area where there's high winds and smoke everywhere.

thus they feel kinda miserable right now.

New on the Secret Area Patreon: It's Carmen Sandiego: Out of This World, an unusual kids album based on the hit game show.

Also, XTC and They Might Be Giants show up for some reason.

Patrons can read it here, available for everyone else next Monday: https://www.patreon.com/posts/41343777

morning.

your bun friend is embracing their name more, changing it on discord and birdsite.

still a bit afraid about it, though.

kinda wish it was tights weather

@mavica I only know one XTC song, "Senses Working Overtime," so I can't really say.

The song itself is rather silly, talking about cherries in trees.

@mavica Oh yeah, I should've pointed out the game show is based on the "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" educational games.

@mavica I've ripped the album and probably will put it up alongside the post because I want people to listen along to these rather bizarre songs.

This is the kind of unusual video game-adjacent junk that I live for.

@mavica I mean, it's clearly an album for kids but it's so bizarre.

@mavica Well, I was reading an article about a rumored "lost episode" of a game show, which reminded me about a soundtrack CD I had of said game show.

The album mostly consists of the show's host singing about distant families, bugs, and cake.

It's also got songs by XTC and They Might Be Giants for some reason.

@mavica you wanna hear about something I've been writing about for my blog?

@mavica hi mavi

@monorail sounds pretty neat

Ah, time to listen to that late '80s Santana album that one of the composers of the US Sonic CD soundtrack played keyboards on
