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.

"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

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!
hiii... π½.. I love Star Trek
-This is actually just me giving facts of jellyfishes- Well yes, there are species that can kill someone with just a touch, for example, the Sea Wasp Jellyfish from Australia can kill someone in minutes, that certain specie is one of the most lethal and venomous animals in the world, however, in another hand; There are species of jellyfish that you can eat or that are inoffensive ! for example the Fried Egg Jellyfish, they even filter the water
btw if you have a Signal or Matrix account, let me know so I can add you as a contact!
(If you aren't on either of these, I would highly recommend setting up Signal and using it in place of text messages whenever you are concerned about surveillance. Discord and SMS are easy to intercept and easier for the government to subpoena. Meanwhile Signal is, by general consensus, the best managed encrypted messaging app on the market, and even under government subpoena was only able to give out their users' account creation and login dates.)
question of the dayyy Let's too
opinion on people who don't use discord? OR (opinion on people who) use VERY VERY unpopular/unknown medias/social medias to DM ppl on or smth like that! My opinion is that they have their own reasons and it's not important anyway :^3
People don't have an obligation to use big social media just as you don't have an obligation to use your friends' social media. Use what works for you.
Personally, I envy people who don't use Discord. I try to avoid corporate platforms, and I also hate some of the design decisions and the Discord Nitro being shoved in my face, but most of my fandoms pretty much only exist there, or on sites too toxic for me to even consider joining. I wish I could convince all my friends to join me on Signal or Matrix, which I don't even think are that obscure, and all those fandoms to move back to web forums, but that's a hard sell for a lot of people.

--γWhat's your favorite scary movie?
(γCurrent Theme : Halloween.γ)
Are you prefer canon ship?
No, this is patrick /j
It doesn't really matter as long as the writing is good, but I feel like the whole point of ships is to imagine things that weren't explicitly canon but maybe should've been. Expanding on already canon ships is a valid reason to write, but if you aren't putting any major twist on the dynamic or exploring something that's unexplored, I could just get the same experience from the original text, probably in better form.
y'all should watch Sarah Z. she brings so much clarity and nuance to Internet discourse, I'm sure a lot of you would find her takes refreshing and thought-provoking.
her latest vid is on the YouTube and TikTok influencers who tell you how to detect and root out "narcissists" and "sociopaths" in your life, and why those influencers are not to be trusted. The Narcissist Scare

Question of today: What's a character you dislike but everyone likes? and why?
Lots of "moe" female characters in anime are in this category for me. It seems that in trying to overload the viewer with cuteness the writers often forget to give a character any agency or significance in the plot. The epitome of this is Mayuri from Steins;Gate, who seems to only exist to get saved by Rintaro a few times. I guess for some people, cute character design is enough, but not me.
what is your favorite song at the moment?
Logic ~ Truth of the Crime Scene by Noriyuki Iwadare from the Ace Attorney Investigations 2 OST
If you had to choose one PokΓ©mon to be your main partner PokΓ©mon, which one would it be?
Personally, I feel like I'd choose Litwick and have them evolve/level as my journey continues.
Lunala, because SPAAAAAACE. And also because it'd be cool to have the protection of a god.
Missingno. would be more in character for me, but I'd rather not unravel the fabric of reality more than necessary. Besides, I don't think I can pet or hug a corrupted image.
Assign me a song you think fits me xx
your current profile might fit Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy VI
that or a baroque concerto, but I don't know any good ones off the top of my head
infodump to me about your special interest or hyperfixation rn!!
I love Doom (1993), and its modding community which is easily the best I've had the pleasure of being involved in! Doom itself is much more simple, fast paced, and arcade-y than other FPSes, which is what makes it my favorite. Later FPS games tend to be more slow and atmospheric with complex stories. Thanks to the game being made open-source in the late 90s, the engine has been updated by the community to be capable of just about anything, which is how we got total conversions like Sonic Robo Blast 2 and Adventures of Square, and oddball mods like MyHouse. But I personally prefer when mods stick to the FPS gameplay and bring a new aesthetic, like the beautiful Japanese Community Project, Ancient Aliens, Struggle, Auger;Zenith, and Eternal Doom (not to be confused with Doom Eternal). Compared to most other games, Doom's developers give their modders a lot more respect, including bringing on community members to make official expansions for the game, both back in the 90s and as recently as this year.
There's a compilation of all of the 90s Doom games that is very cheap on Steam, and if you'd rather not pay, you can download the game engine for free (using a source port like DSDA-Doom) and combine it with Freedoom, a fan game with identical gameplay that is compatible with most Doom mods. It's a must play IMO.
I've noticed that there are a lot of kids who play (and possibly develop for?) Roblox on sites like this, so I thought I'd link the People Make Games videos on Roblox's business practices. They're a tad sensationalistic, but raise a lot of very serious issues with the platform including the monetization of minigames basically being a scam.

β β β β β still figuring out a format for these, but... What's your favorite album? Does it have a deep meaning (that could be to you or in general)? Do you relate to any of the songs?
I have one, IGOR by Tyler, the Creator.
If you were to be transported to the last piece of media you consumed, what is it and what would you do? Would you like it?
i'm assuming you mean the last fiction media I consumed, and not the satirical news show I am watching right now or the prog rock album I was listening to before that, in which case...
I think it was the Doom II map "Tribute Quilt", in which I would instantly get perforated by a chaingunner and die.

PHP or JS?
as a backend language you mean? PHP makes more sense to me. With PHP you're generating an HTML file using macros that are aware of the server, while with JS you're printing HTML, but also running an HTTP server and handling requests, but the HTML also has JS macros in it, and that's not even getting into the mess that is JSX and React, it confuses me.
remember: if you can't get out there and organize, or contribute to a cause, the most important thing you can do to make the world better is be kind. it can be hard to be kind when others are not... but that's precisely why you have to try. cultural change begins with you.
if you must direct your anger somewhere, direct it at the rich and powerful, who profit by creating wars and environmental catastrophes. but to hate other regular people for being different, or be cruel to them for any reason, plays right into the hands of the rich and powerful. the way to resist is to care for each other, fight for each other, organize around common struggles, and create things from which anyone can benefit. it means helping people, even if they are different, even if you don't understand them, and even if they have done bad things in the past. the rich and powerful want us fighting each other, while what they fear most is us uniting as one.
