It's the end of the '70s on Silver Ball Century, my chronological stream of virtual #pinball: https://twitch.tv/arborelia
my misreading of https://tiny.tilde.website/@astrid/109513858613829664 reminded me of this outstanding Radiohead cover from 2008, on a ZX Spectrum and several other pieces of obsolete hardware
the scanner plays a killer bass line
I skipped the first minute of loading time for you, you're welcome
"Pronouns" in conservative circles is a dog whistle. They fixate on pronouns so they can say transgender people are bad without bumping into hate speech rules. Mocking them for using pronouns themselves or not knowing what pronouns are isn't the burn you think it is.
Have fun with circling all the pronouns in screenshots of their tweets if that's your jam, but remember that you are not the intended audience. It's messaging for others on the far-right and it's way worse than flunking English class
Doors Dungeon Dive -- progress items are only in dungeons, and the dungeons are randomly generated with Door Shuffle. https://twitch.tv/arborelia
I heard that Sam Bankman-Fried finally got arrested after making the interview rounds, invited to New York Times events etc. Contrast with the Black people who got life in prison in 3 strikes California where the 3rd strike was stealing a slice of pizza, the immigrants put in concentration camps, or people shot, just because.
Any time I feel like I'm not doing enough somehow, I remember him, Elizabeth Holmes & most of Silicon Valley tech bros who receive billions to burn for no reason.
This video is INCREDIBLE and SO worth the watch time.
I grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s when it was just “common knowledge” that #disco sucked. I was puzzled when I finally discovered it for myself in adulthood and was like “damn, there’s some really good stuff here!”—turns out homophobes and transphobes crushed it using a playbook that is shockingly familiar to us (especially us #trans folks) in 2022.
Now hit me with some more of that sweet four on the floor! 🎧🎤🎹🎸🥁

ALttP randomizer: what if door shuffle, but more shuffle
The flippers were taunting me in plain sight for an hour and a half, and I eventually found the connector that went to them, but I had to get dinner. Resuming and then doing Advent of Code
There's new versions of Door Shuffle and Overworld Shuffle for ALttP Randomizer! Trying them out with my favorite mode, MODESTBonk
(Mixed Overworld, Door + Entrance Shuffle, Trinity goal, Bonk shuffle)
A while back I saw an r/woodworking post where someone was asking for resources for woodworking plans. A few people told them to Google it.
If you Google it you get absolute horseshit. Just page after page of useless results. So we need to stop the fucking "let me google that for you" era and recognize that search is entirely broken in the modern day. We NEED human recommendations and information sharing now more than ever.
multiworld night! 6 of us are playing 6 interlinked randomized games: A Link to the Past, Hollow Knight, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Pokemon Red/Blue, and two games of Timespinner.
Items for any game can be found in any game.

Power Up With Pride is on! This is a wonderful marathon of videogame speedruns by queer folks. A lot of my friends are in it. It's raising money for the Trevor Project all weeekend
twitch, transphobia, ableism
Twitch have added a bunch of new charities to their list, and two of them are the LGB alliance - a transphobic hate group - and Autism Speaks - an ableist hate group.
This can't be allowed to stand. Please use the link below if you have a twitch account to vote for this issue:

Silver Ball Century, my chronological playthrough of virtual pinball tables, is live! It's late 1978
Mystery Mystery Randomizer followed by Advent of Code
I like games that you can play again and they're different the next time: such as randomizers, roguelikes, and gender expression! Twitch stream: https://twitch.tv/arborelia
