Rebecca "Burger Becky" Heineman passed away yesterday. If you don't know her, she was the first video game champion in 1980, then immediately went to work programming video games because she got so good at them by literally disassembling to find out how they worked.
She was a major inspiration for me not only for being a trans woman in the industry but because of the amazing technical feats squeezing performance out of every bit of hardware she could touch.
My heart will ache for a good while.

First, jack up your clucker on a standard non-profligate eXistenz. You will need TIXZ, _J9, Ξ©ΟΞ© for storage, and BIGBOO for auth. You just need to know GO, JS, TS, CSS, CS:GO to glue/route/rawt them together.
Looks like @burgerbecky is in the ICU and needs 20k more for a medivac: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebecca-ann-heineman-fight-aggressive-cancer/cl/d?utm_campaign=pd_ss_icons&utm_content=amp17_td&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&attribution_id=sl%3A5d377792-4702-4311-8d19-35d65896c99a&ts=1763261459
Let's do everything we can to keep this legend going! No regrets!
in case I've ever given anybody a false impression of Unflapping Confidence, I assure you that I am, in fact, a social coward.
like, oh fuck, what did I miss, how badly am I gonna need to tiptoe for the next several hours before my internal Alert Phase calms down, possibly several *more* hours before I stop reflexively flinching at any noise louder than a keystroke
For some reason, I feel a need to Be Aware of everything happening in the house. I cannot make myself drown out conversations and noises. If people are talking and I cannot hear them, I *must* quiet myself down to know what they're saying. This is either a superpower or some Pavlovian behavior.
Which is why The Dread sets in, heavily, when the only thing I can hear from 3 rooms over is the sound of packing tape, occasional banging, and Mom yelling "Fine, be that way!"

The pen-pressure handling is a little weird (pushing harder thickens the *entire line*) but, y'know, if i ever have the urge to draw a quick and dirty doodle, maybe this is the thing.
