lukewarm windows take 

I really don't like when applications like to start when Windows starts.

It makes me impatient to see 20 programs take a half hour to open, so I often shrink it down to the essentials and open certain programs when I want.

Seems to work out better for me

well, being scared I might've busted my PC was not how I wanted to start today.

morning, folks

Gone down a rabbit hole of videos showing old emulators from the DOS era playing games with good image quality but awful sound.

It's fascinating for someone like me who doesn't use emulation all that often, and only barely remembers that early emulation period.

I now have three friends who have chipped money into my patreon.

With how I look at it, $7/month is better than $0

New on the Secret Area Patreon: It's Shellshock Nam '67, a Vietnam War game released in that weird time where those were popular, by a developer you wouldn't expect.

Just $1 (or more) will get you to see it early, otherwise it goes live next Wednesday.

Reading about Biden's VP pick and people just getting up in arms just makes me dread the next few months.

I'm so done with this stuff, honestly.

I'm more interested in the goofy Hot Wheels DLC they did than the base Forza Horizon 3 experience.

I played the first Forza Horizon on 360 and thought it was alright for a racing game.

Today I learned that Forza Horizon 3 is getting delisted off digital storefronts.

Might as well get it now before it goes away. Thank goodness I can play it on Windows 10.

gender, terms, and myself 

I have a hard time using "this guy" to refer to myself these days.

Yet I still don't feel comfortable referring to myself as "this gal" yet

Guess who just wasted some time removing clumps of hair out of a vacuum brush roller?

Me. it's me

gender, clothes 

I had a conversation with someone about bras and honestly for the past few days I haven't stopped thinking about that.

Like, I thought about wearing dresses, skirts, and boots, but never *bras*. It's one of those revelations I never realized until recently.

My brain works in stupid ways sometimes

I really have to learn to just have one-on-one conversations with people again.

Though I need to not be afraid to talk to people first.

Turns out playing games by myself is exhausting and lonely.

Probably should change that.

I was gonna make a dumb joke about a lesser-known jaguar game based on a dumb meme

but apparently I must've made the meme up in my head because I'm not finding anything on it.

Come to Tonic B H at computerfairi.es where I talk about dumb music things that only I notice or care about

birdsite, music things 

On birdsite, noted blinking man and video maker Drew Scanlon brought up this bit of musical surprise: twitter.com/drewscanlon/status

It made me think of like, similar songs that segue into a different song entirely.

Like how for a long time whenever I listened to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' The Impression That I Get, I would think of the theme song to the $25,000 Pyramid.

I'm weird.

mh, gender (+) 

One thing I've noticed lately is how I don't feel like I'm ranting into a void about my gender problems lately.

I've had a few people come to me and have conversations about figuring myself out, and it really helps.

It definitely helps more than my previous idea of just listening to others' experiences and trying to relate them to my own.
