I understand the current crisis with COVID-19 has made a lot of us struggle with money, and I understand that.

If you can't donate, I recommend sharing my stuff, like this post I made back in March about Strife, the Doom engine game that was abandonware for a long time: https://asecretarea.com/2020/03/16/strife-dos/

Decided to put an upcoming post on my Patreon, see how that works out.

If you wanna read about me finding a battle royale game that clicked for me, you can see it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/35951484

Just $1 will get you early access to that post.

About two weeks ago, I saw that infamous Cats movie with @mavica and friends.

Right now, parts of one of the songs is looping in my head.

I hate it.

Look, I understand people are bummed Bernie dropped out. So am I.

But I seriously can't stand those who are like "welp four more years of trump, why even bother"

Could we at least be *somewhat* optimistic here?

Okay, I didn't think alt-tabbing out of Modern Warfare 2019 and renaming the executable by putting a 1 at the end would stop the random crashing I was having, but it worked somehow.

Rewrote an old blog post about stuff I got in 2014, and I forgot I bought Rayman Raving Rabbids for the GBA from a discount store.

It's still in the shrinkwrap with the original stickers.

I wonder if it's any good.

It's 11 o'clock and I wanna sleep
wanna get my body filled with z's

I can't believe in 2012 I wrote an article worrying I was being xenophobic for not writing about Japanese games.

And in that same article I had used "from the rising sun" in the title.

reposted because I confused the day of visibilty with the day of remembrance and I don't know how I did that

oh it's that trans day of visibility thing

I guess I'm still non-binary? lately my gender's been in a mood of "I feel femme sometimes but otherwise I just feel tired" 😪

hey mc hammer, not every song needs to be a prodding slog that's 5 minutes long

save that for the 12" mixes, dude

Watching Classic Concentration.

Sometimes there's a computer as a prize. People go "oh, I'd really like that."

Then they win the game and it turns out to be an Apple IIc computer.

Which is... not really the best computer? Even by 1987 standards?

Sorry I haven't been using mastodon as of late.

A minor issue from a week ago has given me less incentive to post. I might change that soon.

This morning, I eventually went back to refine the post some more after I realized I was accidentally mimicking the style of another writer whom I've been binge-reading articles from.

While I didn't plagiarize anything, it did feel different from the other stuff I wrote, thus I went back and tried to give my own spin on it.

It's great when I look at something I wrote two days after I wrote it and make it look nicer.

I'm even doing the old trick of "reading it out loud so it doesn't sound weird" which seems to work okay?

Today is Friday the 13th, time to play the soundtrack to the oft-maligned NES game.

A shame that all the videos of the OST on Youtube use like some really bad NSF rip where the percussion is way too loud.
