local retro gaming help, boosts ok 

Wanting to find someone in the PDX area who helps repair/modify original Xbox consoles.

My disc drive is slowly dying (failure + constantly being jammed), plus I bet my console's a ticking time bomb due to that capacitor issue that Xbox consoles have.

I wanna be able to use it to play some of the OG Xbox games I have and since I'm a stickler for real hardware I'd love to get my nearly 20-year-old console to get a new lease on life than to replace it.

New Secret Area post: It's Blood of the Werewolf.

There haven't been very many great werewolf video games out there. Does this game break that curse?

Watched about an hour of G-Phoria 2003 with friends and hoo-boy that is very much A Video Games Award Show from 2003

Hey! Did you know I once put #Doom and #gameboy (playable!) on credit card machines? Or ported Wordle to #PalmOS ? I've been plumbing all sorts of #tech into all sorts of other tech professionally for almost a decade now (unprofesionally for 16 years!) with an intimate knowledge of the inner workings of computers and low-level embedded code. I can also do killer hand-crafted #webdesign without relying on platforms or frameworks! And I can draw you in #pixelart for a modest price!

I'm currently 99% unemployable due to being legally in Brazil and physically in the UK. I've been without a stable income for 2 years now and I desperately need something my way. If you know of any commission or contract work that won't bug me with where I am geographically, please let me know!

game shows, video preservation, self-promotion 

Was randomly inspired over the past few days to edit and upload some Rock & Roll Jeopardy! episodes to YouTube.

First one's up now, and I'll be putting up two more episodes over the next few days.

New on Patreon, it's Blood of the Werewolf.

A "love letter to classic platformers," does this game break the curse of there being no good werewolf games?

Available now for all patrons, just $1 will get you to see it early: patreon.com/posts/blood-of-hun

@TonicBH@computerfairi.es I remember footage from one of the first QuakeCons where people played Quake with a joystick. Few used a mouse, if any

I honestly wonder how many PC gamers played old stuff like shooters and racing games with a joystick rather than mouse & keyboard.

I assume it was common for a long while.

I really wish transferring VHS footage and editing/uploading videos was something that I did frequently and not be a spur-of-the-moment thing every few months. :blobupsidedown:

Call of Duty is a video game where Ash Williams from Evil Dead can kill Nicki Minaj with the super shotgun from Doom.

It's so dumb, I love it.

Transition discourse 

Morning #transfem Fedi!

Love all of you to bits, but can we talk about something? There's been a few posts recently with a certain... lack of chill about transition timeframes.

Like, where did this assumption that we should be "basically done" within three years come from? Also, if you're equating bottom surgery (or any other key surgery) with done-ness, that's pretty alienating for those of us without that as a goal. Makes us feel like you secretly view us as incomplete. I know you don't mean it that way, but still, ow.

In fact, the more I think about it, the less I like "transition" as a concept at all. I began hormones nearly two years ago, and I'll be on them indefinitely. My body's changing and will never stop changing. And I'll keep learning new things about how to dress and act and present myself forever. That's not a transition between two stable states, it's the beginning of the rest of my life.

Will I get surgeries of any sort? I haven't decided yet. I really don't want to rush or be rushed into decisions like that. No judgment of anyone who *does* know exactly what they want already; I totally respect that.

Are my changes "on track" compared to others? Are my boobs big enough, face fem enough, makeup skills developed enough, confidence strong enough? I can't help but compare myself in the back of my mind, but that way lies madness. I'm not any of you, I'm me. I'll get where I get when I get there. And it'll be beautiful no matter how long it takes.

My journey is not without its bumps, but every time I look back months or years or decades, I'm stunned by how far I've come. I don't need to rush that, only enjoy it and be proud of myself. And I'm proud of all of you too-- those rushing full steam ahead, those stumbling and frustrated with your lack of progress, those still intimidated and daring yourselves to begin.

Love you all. ❤️ :heart_trans:
