If you personally insult me, I will tell you, and mute you for a random duration. If you persist, it's a block.
I tend to follow far too many people. Every now and then I cull a RANDOM selection for my sanity. If I unfollow you, this is why - it's not personal.

If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

And then you're like... it's half a million dollars for a Mustang.
But then you're like... that's no Mustang.
So yeah it's a half-mil bonkers machine whose great grandaddy once saw a picture of a Mustang.

I currently use Spotify to introduce me to new music, and mark favourites, and on Bandcamp Fridays I get Spotify to show me my recent favourites and then go buy them on Bandcamp.
But Shirley Bandcamp could just give me a curated feed? I've bought enough stuff from them - it knows what I like!
