Once upon a time I was Mr. MAGFest. Then I did a chiptune NIN tribute.

Now I live in a van down by a river, still write chiptunes, run Bloop Museum.

Someday I'll finish a synthesizer I'm building and ditch meat.

He/they.

Quick update: We hit 200K today, and I'm retaining a lawyer and contacting the real estate broker.

THANK YOU to all who have supported this journey. I know a fair number of our supporters are here.

I need a hail mary or whatever.

This fundraiser — so I can operate a computer & game museum in a building all its own — is 2/3 from being done.

I can start moving when it hits 80%. Deadline: 1mo.

Not asking any one person for 40 grand, but 80 people with $500? That's doable.

Please spread this.

We've crossed another milestone - $160K!

Thank you to everyone donating to our building campaign - we can put an offer in on the one we've selected in just $40K.

Help us go even further: givebutter.com/bloopholiday

So, here's a question. I know we're all tired, but where is the outrage from Kingdom Hearts fans that someone has appropriated a main character's name as an 🅰️👁️ video generator?

Shout-outs to @gamesdonequick.com which is already underway. Not a low badge number but still a cool one!

Brendan's doing a late night #AGDQ2026 panel about how he ended up running #MAGFest back in the day and then Bloop #Museum, and doing Q&A - come on by Friday night at 10PM!

River City Ransom Underground is about to be delisted on Steam. This is a game that means a great deal to me and is my favorite beat em up of all time. They're currently in the process of removing it, but it's still currently available and on sale for $3.

Happy #Holidays from the #museum! Our timeline is almost fully populated and we're building out exhibits as fast as we can. Check out the cool lighting from one of our volunteers!

You are standing at a curved table looking directly at some white shelving behind the tables. An Atari 800 and second VIC-20 are connected to TVs on the table, and a boxed Atari 400 and VIC-20 are on the shelves. Also visible to the left and right are a Commodore PET, Apple II, TRS-80, TI-99, IBM PC, Commodore 64, Macintosh, and you can barely see an Atari ST and Amiga 1000 around the bend to the right. There are red and green uplights accenting the furniture and red and blue carpet mats in front of the tables. There are no ceiling tiles but a little fairy told me they're coming soon.

I took a picture of my shake at @burgatorybar.bsky.social and accidentally made an advertisement #pgh #Pittsburgh

Our heat pump had icicles on it, so I had to do the obvious

Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads.
A stainless-steel, side-by-side refrigerator with a built-in touchscreen display on the right door. The screen shows a bright yellow Apple TV+ advertisement reading “WE’RE SORRY WE UPSET YOU, CAROL” for the series Pluribus. The left door includes a water and ice dispenser. The fridge is in a modern kitchen with small appliances visible in the background.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

So saddened to lose Burger Becky, teller of stories, coder of games, ports, libraries. Becky was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma just 2 months ago. The gofundme was to help with her care; now it's for the funeral.

You know you're busy moving a computer museum when other people have to remind you that it's #BandcampFriday

Anyway, inversephase.bandcamp.com and hopefully I'll get your order out soon if it's physical, please be patient as I drive back and forth and pack/unpack my things

@havocosiris.bsky.social hey, it hits a little weird that you're making people-forward posts that, for example, suggest that AI determining care is bad, but then you have an AI header. My vote is for a new header from one of your fans
