I'm just an idiot. Far too much politics, not enough furry stuff and goofery, working on a balance.
Migrated from @nini, eggbug forever!
Erstwhile UNIX programmer and system administrator. Windows Server administrator. Old hardware repurposer. Newish crown green bowler.
I like vintage computers and video games. I also collect music and video on old formats. My basement is a CRT display sanctuary.
If I were in a relationship, it'd be gay, but mostly I feel like I'm in a sinking ship.

I sometimes reply with bad jokes. I am not an authority. Seriously, the anxiety would destroy me.
Computer history. Reverse-engineering old chips. Restored Apollo Guidance Computer, Xerox Alto. Ex-Google, Sun, Msft. So-called boffin.
Mixed-race, fat, pan, poly, trans, heavy left/socialist leanings. She/her. 50. Neuro atypical (anxiety/depression). Laid-back musician, gamer, and cat fanatic.
We're an electronic entertainment museum. We toot about things that bleep and bloop.
Showcasing games, media, and the machines and micros that play them. Also the occasional oddly-enough hardware, and anything in-between that fits.
We're in a shared, physical space just north of Baltimore - 15 000+ square feet, 20 000 items, many that power on! DM us for a tour; we can accommodate most schedules.
We're accepting donations. If it #belongsinamuseum please get in touch!

I wrote a Mastodon client for vintage Mac computers, #Macstodon, which you can get from here: https://github.com/smallsco/macstodon
Occasionally I’ll post about #Anime and #Gaming, especially #ZenlessZoneZero and #HonkaiStarRail.
