Hello, new folks! Might as well introduce myself. I do a lot of things (though less so lately due to chronic illness flare) so you might know me from:
+ Video game music, including my band The Returners
+ Streaming games on Twitch
+ Writing (mostly fanfic these days)
+ Generally talking a lot

This is a fucking MISERABLE time to be online if you happen to exist in this world with any history of sexual assault or abuse, so if things are really hard rn, please try to treat yourself with the compassion you’d extend to anyone else. It’s okay for everything to be So Bad right now

So hey, folks, I hope you're all already fighting transphobia whenever you come across it - but now you've got one more thing to shut people down with if they start spinning that shit in front of you

A weird (and bad imo) quirk of how blocking works here, if you don't already know. If you want to block someone you were following, unfollow them first.
Worth noting that blocking someone you follow doesn't remove you from their follow list, so it's possible a chunk of those people don't realise they show up as still following him.

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.
Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

Yeah, I was initially trying to figure out what the ruckus was all about and it turns out they cast one of the most beautiful women in film to play one of the most beautiful women in history and I just don't see the problem?
I mean, have you *seen* her?

I really am tired ALREADY of people bitching about Lupita being cast as Helen of Troy. If you don’t think HER face could launch every ship in the galaxy, IDK what to even say. She’s literally one of the most beautiful human beings on earth.

I may not be the most detailed or skilled cosplayer, but Locke Cole is my favorite character from anything ever and I was really happy to be able to cosplay him again at MAGFest
Just need to get a Celes to lean on my arm (and protect my useless-in-combat ass from monsters)

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

Dreamed about a video game called Impractical Cat Dusting, in which you play a little watercolor cat in a sunhat. She runs around, and after a little running starts getting excited and bounces as she runs. When she lands she knocks away a circle of evil cobwebby dust stifling the town.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.
CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?
DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.
C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?
