DM me for my Signal, Matrix, and Discord accounts.
ask me about my special interests, my opinions, myself, or recommend me music!
quick asks
0/πΉ music recommendation (i recommend, but do not require, that you send me one as well!) 1/πΊ video recommendation (don't send me recommendations back, i won't have time to watch them) 2/π½ cool open-source software or services (you may specify a type of software/website you are looking for) 3/π½ Star Trek character (one I associate you with, or just random if I don't know you well enough) 4/π Star Trek episode (you may specify a type of episode you are looking for, or ask for a way to get into the series) 5/π£ Random fact (most likely about one of my interests)
boundaries
If you involve yourself regularly with drama or queer community/fandom/social justice discourse, you may interact, but I will probably not follow back and may mute you if it is pervasive enough. You are encouraged to talk to me about controversial topics if and only if you are willing to accept that I may disagree with you, and hear me out. In return, I will keep an open mind to what you are saying. If you intend to cut me off, harass me, or go after my friends if I'm not convinced of your position, don't bother asking in the first place.
Non-sexual flirting is okay, but ask before making overtly sexual comments. Since I allow followers under 18 and Retrospring does not yet support content warnings, it may be best to move those conversations to another venue. Feel free to ask for my contact information on other platforms.
how do i set an image as the background colour pls im suffering i tried putting the link and it just makes the bg black </3
Rainbeam recently made the (imo annoying, but probably necessary for practical and privacy reasons) choice to break url("https://example.com/image.png")
syntax, but according to said announcement it should still work without the quotes if and only if you host them on a website that allows automated requests. So, catbox, filegarden, or postimages, but not vgy or imgur.
hi guys, what's your favourite ship... you can tell me about a boat shipiif you want, but preferably a relationship. yap please
I don't have much interest in shipping in general, and I don't have a favorite, but there are a few ships I do like. In Star Trek, which is by far my most in-depth fandom, I like J/7, Kirk/Spock, Garashir, Kira-Dax, and a few others (not to mention, that show has some great canon relationships especially in recent series, like Mariner/Jennifer and Burnham/Book, and even sexier starships!)
Outside of Star Trek, the only one that comes to mind is Narumitsu (Ace Attorney). I'm sure if I went looking I could find a Doctor Who or Magic: the Gathering ship I like, but I haven't really been exposed to those sides of those fandoms.
hello neospring !!!!!! who up friending they fellow neospringers ... πππ
What's the most random site you guys have an account on? Like for example I have on musescore
a LOT of random forums and wikis and fediverse servers. other than that some odd ones out I noticed in my password manager were pricecharting.com (which i used like, twice, to figure out what my game collection is worth) and hackthebox.com (one of many sites I used to attempt to learn ethical hacking)
there's a scarily common belief that the world consists of Good People and Bad People, and making it better means punishing the Bad People and empowering the Good People.
classifying people in such binary terms is very dangerous, and while this is particularly visible in progressive online spaces, it's also a part of how some bigotries work, and how those in power keep us from uniting to make actual change. in my mind, activism is not about separating the villains from the victims, but about building things that help everyone; its enemy is not people, but the systems that make their lives worse.
i'd like to remind everyone here to reach out beyond your bubble, to be very careful and skeptical when someone tells you who to hate, and to not trust anyone who tells you that the world is a scary place full of sinister and dangerous individuals.
what do u think about subliminals? like the videos that are supposed to make u look like whatever u want or makes u get anything u want. i've been interested in this stuff lately
The way you described subliminals is interesting. Even if I'm being as generous as possible about their efficacy, leaving a video playing while you sleep cannot alter physical reality to your desire on their own. What it can do is alter your perception and change your mode of thinking, perhaps make you see the world differently or inspire you to do something, or even boost your confidence (which can lead to you "looking better" in some people's eyes)... but watching a video while fully awake can do all those things too, and that has the advantage of making better use of my critical thinking faculties, so I never really saw the point.
what the sigma
Sigma (/ΛsΙͺΙ‘mΙ/ SIG-mΙ;[1] uppercase Ξ£, lowercase Ο, lowercase in word-final position Ο; Greek: ΟΞ―Ξ³ΞΌΞ±) is the eighteenth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 200. In general mathematics, uppercase Ξ£ is used as an operator for summation. When used at the end of a letter-case word (one that does not use all caps), the final form (Ο) is used. In α½Ξ΄Ο ΟΟΞ΅ΟΟ (Odysseus), for example, the two lowercase sigmas (Ο) in the center of the name are distinct from the word-final sigma (Ο) at the end. The Latin letter S derives from sigma while the Cyrillic letter Es derives from a lunate form of this letter.
how do you guys add images to your profilesοΌοΌim so confused on how this site worksγγ
If you mean the account banner, that's just "Banner URL" in profile settings.
If you mean images in posts, Sparkler uses Markdown and HTML syntax. The Markdown for images is ![alt text](url)
, you can search "markdown cheat sheet" for more.
If you mean background images, you can use url(https://example.com/image) in any field where you would enter a background color. But you should use these sparingly.
I enjoy your theme. For your ask game, could I get 2 or 5?

5: Many video games optimize the loading of objects on a map using binary space partitioning - progressively dividing the world into halves containing balanced amounts of objects, and repeating until each partition only contains one object, creating a "tree" that can be used to quickly find objects along the way.
#010γ,γ7 / 10 / 2024γ:γQUESTION OF THE DAY
--γDo you believe in supernatural events? Have you ever had a supernatural experience?
(γCurrent Theme : Halloween.γ)
I think that calling something "supernatural" tends to simply mean it's unexplained or unexplainable, and we should seek natural explanations wherever they're possible, because it's always preferable not to leave something unexamined. I also have not had any supernatural experiences, unless you consider life itself to be one.

"Here's the Rest of Your Life" by Chumbawamba is essentially an entire political manifesto in song form, and I agree with 90% of it, but this is my favorite moment:
There are moments in all of our lives Tiny sparks still deep inside When a new-born baby cries When you're watching clouds in a summer sky The first time you walked out on strike Love and sex and holding tight Things that can't be bought By promises and votes

Yap to me about your favorite interests, I want to listen to people right now
I just got a GBA cartridge dumper and flasher, and one of the first games I tried to flash to a cartridge was a fan-made Tetris clone called Apotris, which has ended up being the most fun I've ever had playing Tetris.
The official GBA version of Tetris is Tetris Worlds, and it kinda sucks. It was the first Tetris game to follow "The Tetris Guideline", which means it has gameplay additions like T-spins and holds, but the control feels subtly stiff. Visually, all of the budget went into extremely dated prerendered 3D backgrounds. Plus for some reason my cartridge won't save my settings. The one silver lining is all of the alternate modes exclusive to Worlds, but many of those are also ill-conceived and clunky.
As usual, the fans outdid the company. Apotris has a beautiful, incredibly flashy and stylish look, with lots of screen flashing, shaking, and neon colors. It also implements the Tetris Guideline, but with controls that feel way more fluid and naturalistic. And there are tons of theming options and gameplay tweaks to obsess over. The alternate game modes aren't as quirky as Worlds's, but represent the most popular and well-refined game modes in Tetris, all implemented competently.
So yeah. Best version of Tetris I've played, and it runs on my favorite game console of all time too!
