A legitimate salvage.

I hack on microcontrollers, games, and 3D-printing projects as well.

I did it! I made a video game. Introducing Star Captain 32767, a retro-arcade shooter with rogue-lite elements, inspired by games like Galaga and 10000000. The game is free, but if you enjoy it I would really appreciate a small donation!

It’s a shame that GTA VI has been delayed but I’m excited by Rockstar’s promise that the extra time will allow them to give all the pedestrians in the game “a rich inner life” and “the capacity to actually experience pain”

I knew the first COP30 event after Dick Cheney's death would be hard but not this hard :( Can't stop imagining his excited face as he walks around doing his thing; decrying green energy, enriching himself at the expense of an inhabitable future and plotting more war crimes. He'd have been so happy 💔

[Persuasion] What do you think about dialogue choices in games? I’m interested in your opinion.

[Failed] Maybe some other time. For now, focus on getting the key to that warehouse.

The best part about the Obergefell challenge is that it didn’t go through, and it was done because Davis wanted to get out of a debt, and now there’s no way she can. Keep tripping on rakes.

I think that these 8 Senators are falling on the sword for Schumer and other Senators who wanted the shutdown to end. This allows the majority of Senators to save face; and only retiring or not up for reelection Senators take the heat.

It’s a ruse.

Still collecting these. Don't be shy if you have a question.
I'm going to try a new AMAA(ask me anything atproto) format! I am going to collect 3-5 atproto questions and answer them on a leaflet next week. So feel free to comment, DM, or use @navyfragen.app to send them to me! All questions are welcome, and there are no silly/dumb questions.

Over the last few months, a bunch of promising leads haven't worked out. These things can take months, so who knows? But in the meantime, I have room for more work.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Sweet lobbying deals, fundraising, insider stock tips, and setting up elections so your voters barely have any choices
What is the point of a political party that will not fight for the people?
