Part of AREA 5 (area5.tv), a host on RebelFM rebelfm.libsyn.com . Tetris Forever was nominated for a BAFTA! I guess that means I can put “BAFTA Nominated” in my profile now? He/Him
Anyway, looking forward to digging into this treasure trove! The games, sure, but I’m guessing there’s all kinds of old family documents on these drives. We used this computer for EVERYTHING for nearly two decades.

For those that don’t know, the IIC was meant to be “portable.” See? It had a handle! Weirdly? The monitor’s “handle” leaves a bit to be desired ;)

LOL! She put in a backup note underneath the computer. Because of course she did 🥹

And yes, I’m pretty sure those are my old Donald Duck bed sheets. Wrapping up and protecting the components.

I don’t think it’s exaggerating to say that I have my mom and her foresight to thank for huge swaths of my life and career.

I miss her and my brother every single day.

Such a lovely, sweet, but definitely tinged with bitter thing to find while unpacking ye olde family Apple IIC.

2/3 people on this list are no longer with us, but we did so very much love our little 🍎.

Hawaii is the best the US can get and there are still 63 other countries ahead of it. #1, as always, is Monaco. This screenshot from this article has a few reasons which should be no surprise. (howlonglive.com/average-life...)

Wrote my first-ever podcast review—for an audio fiction podcast, and I mean every word of it.

This is a very Matt list of games 🤣. Here’s the thing, though, I know I’ve been using Steam since it launched in 2003, so I guess purchase history just doesn’t go back that far?

Amtrak rules y’all. If you’ve never taken a train across state lines on a long distance vacay you are missing OUT. You can walk around! Drink booze! Bring your own entire dinner on board! (You can buy food on board. It’s… fine.) If you get a sleeper car you can lay down to nap! Observation cars!

Seemed a good day to support my locally-owned gaming store.

I think about this show like every 4-6 months and I haven’t seen it since I was 7 or 8. It wasn’t until I just looked it up that I even knew it was called “Automan.” To me it’s always just been “that Tron TV show.” I can only. really remember that it took place IRL and the car turned at 90° angles 🤣

I seem to have joined at about the same time as most of my mutuals. Which makes sense because I got my invite from one of them :p

They’ve never made a better one.

(Basically I just want my whole kit to look like I‘ve just stepped off a Wipeout course. #SPL)

At the #SFMoma for their exhibit with The Mix. It’s pretty cool to see games in a modern museum space and see that they “get it.” “Are games art?” debate is over, but if your exhibit doesn’t have them playable like this then you’re doing it wrong.
