I've been thinking a lot about changing my surname too as I really don't like my current one and I don't feel any attachment to it.
I've thought about something Nordic/Viking, as that is part of my cultural heritage (growing up in the part of Britain that was Danelaw centuries ago) but ugh the way that the right has co-opted a lot of Norse stuff is making me conflicted.
The past two nights I wrote a "thread reader app" for BlueSky.
Oh boy. The protocol is absolutely insane. RPC galore, responses are only partially typed. The docs are pretty much useless.

Decided to play Leon B after dinner and another A ranking! :3
Also unlocked Hunk and two of the special weapons but forgot to grab screenshots. ^^;

Koudelka, an RPG set in Wales, has healing potions that use red wine as a base. This is so incrediblely of the time (monks serving medicinal herbs in wine, and also tonic wines such as Buckfast) and kinda realistic that I had to take a screenshot.
Still got it! I played Resident Evil 2 a lot when I was younger. <3

I’m SUPER excited to introduce Percy today, now in fursuit form! He was made by @cfstudios (their first otter!) and they did an absolutely amazing job with him. I’m ecstatic about how he came out! 💙

Its a game from my childhood that I have so many fond memories of. It was 5 players, and many hours were spent playing with my secondary school classmates. Single player game is top notch as well.
Go big or go home: 64MB 72pin 5V SIMM in a Bush IBX100. Absolutely pointless, 8MB is fine, etc, etc. #RISCOS
