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!

@jima i don't hate it!
It's Friday night, it's cold outside and I'm still working on that whole social life thing, so here's a long rambly thread about the 15-pin PC gameport and its historical significance, because it's something I want to practice writing about at length (if anyone was silly enough to give me a PhD for something, it'd be for this nonsense).
Feel free to mute this thread if that's not your thing - or if it is, bookmark it for later, or prepare to be en-knowledge-ified!
@NanoRaptor stop making things i want and can't have dammit
@Lydiee oh my goodness those computer shaped doodads were everywhere when i was younger, i remember one that was an FM radio
i always wanted it to be a real computer, this rules so much
The tiniest x86 PC you've ever seen! A real x86 SBC powers this DOSBox machine, crammed into a vintage pencil holder of the 90s. The battery pack ended up being external, I put a USBC port on the back. The tiny speaker plugs into the audio jack on the side. #lattepanda #retrogaming #retrocomputing
@NanoRaptor that VCR is my late aunt's - i'll do whatever in my power to keep it as long as i'm around. i have a great emotional attachment to it and other things i've inherited from her. she was the most supportive of my transition in my whole family.
@NanoRaptor when i first got my instax some number of years ago i tried to do something similar - stage a shot that looked like it was about 20 years out of date, with my dreamcast and PVM
it took me a while to get selfies right with the dinky mirror they give you near the lens
@jk so i kinda just chuckled and said uhhh no and bolted from there, so unless he discarded it or something, there's a picture of me from years ago floating around somewhere in paris
@jk several years ago i was in paris for a work thing in the first time ever leaving the country and not speaking a lick of french, an older man stopped me and asked "if he could take my picture", i didn't really get a good look at what he had but i think it was an old-fashioned instant camera type of deal, i thought he was just a photographer doing stuff for himself so i said sure, and he does and then extends his arm "ok that's [some amount of euros]" that i didn't have in cash at the time
mostly logic/behaviour changes that aren't really visible. new "directional" tile type allows for runners to warp back to their initial position
