After hearing 2-3 people in a discord server I was on buy right into both the "Zoe Quinn fucked five guys for positive coverage" and the "gamers are dead articles to slander us gamers" lies, I had to leave that server that had people whom I've known since I was a teenager.
It may seem petty, but sorry, I'm not arguing with Gamergate supporters, apologists or fence-sitters. Not up for it. Not in 20-fucking-18.
Using the WS4000 simulator gives me a weird sense of nostalgia.
A shame there's no music for it, but it's still nice regardless.

oh no I think I just went "horny on main" like the kids say these days 
Also, since I forgot to advertise it on Mastodon, I also wrote about a Half-Life mod where you play as Max Payne in the original Black Mesa.
Check it out.

New on the Secret Area: About a few weeks late, but here's the stuff I bought from this year's Portland Retro Gaming Expo (and more!)
Likes, shares and comments appreciated, as always.
Despite sleeping in most of today I got at least a few things done.
Better than nothing, I guess.
hey, I'm a squirrel.
Just putting that out there.

I never got the chance to know Natalie. But I'm fighting for her and so that trans and NB people don't face the indignities she did in death. And it starts with police and the news media.
Please share this as far and wide as you can.

Guardian US writers challenge Guardian UK transphobia
Guardian US writers know that this is simply bigotry and it's a disgrace that they need to publicly challenge the transphobic position of Guardian UK.

It's weird to listen to Fleetwood Mac's The Chain through these headphones, because I can hear someone very quietly say "fuck" before the song starts.
Who knew a cheapo Microsoft headset would have good audio quality?

for years since randomly discovering it i have been enamored with this Doom II texture/sound mod some people made solely to express their anger at NBC for cancelling the 1994 sci-fi series "Earth 2"
politics, youtubers, disappointment
Was watching Counter-Strike For Kids because it's old and I wondered what the video maker is doing now-
*sees a bunch of videos praising Trump*
welp, that video is ruined for me forever, thanks.

abuse, mental health, asking for help
Hi. My girlfriend is a disabled and autistic trans woman living with her abusive and controlling family in Madrid, Spain. She desperately wants to escape, but she has very little autonomy and resources, and she can't survive on her own. Her situation and abuse often prevents her from reaching out to people, and she has very little legal documentation. She doesn't need donations, but she does need local resources and support.
I'm convinced my aesthetic is "TV theme songs and incidental music from old TV shows."
I mean, the music from CHiPs fuckin' slaps
help I've think I've caught the heck virus where I just keep saying heck to everything
heck
Realized there's a friend on here whom used to like a fair share of toots that I haven't seen around lately.
Hope they're doing okay.

how the hell can anyone smile and carry on their life considering fascism is on the rise everywhere and there's no way to stop it?
I have a Devo Greatest Hits compilation.
And by greatest hits, they mean "live versions of hit songs and some songs from their late 80s albums nobody remembers."
...why do I still have this
music
It's really fascinating to listen to songs with decent headphones and yet be able to hear audible things that I wouldn't normally hear, like countdowns.
In a way, it shows that no matter how amazing a song is, there's always small blemishes that only a handful of people would even notice.
