I'm not actively posting here, but am around passively to connect with people I've lost touch with.

My internet social home is at https://social.treehouse.systems/@megmac and I may eventually set up a reflector to push public posts from there to here.

Where you might know me from if I follow you:

- I used to be a speedrunner and streamer of Zelda 2 and some other games. "glitches are queer!"
- work, if you happen to work on a weird operating system for a megacorp.
- are a local to Edmonton. Maybe the word "brunchwar" means something to you.

There sure are a lot of local queer orgs whose entire web presence is on Facebook and Instagram, which means that I can't find out about their events bc I deleted my Meta accounts in January after Zuckerberg changed the TOS to allow transphobic hate speech.

My opinion on video game pricing is that every video game that costs less than $30 should cost $10 more and every video game that costs more than $40 should cost $10 less.

The function of the waffles joke is an in-group signifier. Singal, Graber, and Oppiliappan are showing in-group solidarity; they're all in on a joke. The joke is they have institutional power, and you don't, and they feel contempt for you, that you still want to have opinions about how power's used.

Chills. Thousands of Alberta high school students walked out of class to the legislature. They’re fighting back against UCP attacks on education. They’re standing up for teachers. They’re our future and I couldn’t be prouder.

An eternal constant tension in speedrunning category definition arguments: people who think the rules exist to be a rigorous categorization of types of tricks and glitches vs. justifying the existence of types of runs that are some combination of fun for the runner and entertaining for non-runner

The evil brilliance of focusing on trans people in athletic competitions is that inattentive cis people who are not intensely transphobic misread it as just a minor concession, while enthusiastic opponents of trans liberation understand how it advances their cause

< thread >
So, when a Democrat makes their only statement on trans issues about trans women in sports, they are saying that this is their priority on trans issues - not restoring our equality under the law but joining Republicans in eroding it.

The problem with speedrunning modern games is that modern controllers have way too many analog inputs.

My Twitch account was hacked, and a hacker is masquerading as a partnered account on Twitch. Twitch won't do anything to help fix this. How many more of us need to be hacked and lose everything until they decide to help restore our accounts?

LATEST: I recounted my experience at Minneapolis People's Pride, which I attended with @storster.bsky.social! It was a fantastic time, and shows how Pride should be - a community ran event without corporations or cops.

This is probably a spicy take but I bet we'd have more soundtracks as memorable as Undertale's if more composers got to be fulltime, integrated creative collaborators for the full duration of a project instead of contractors handed an asset list
