Personal microblog of just another user of the Internet. I'm an enthusiast of retro things, linguistics and game developing. I also post some art.

Happy New Year, everybody! I know that I don't use this social media that often anymore, but here is a post that I did for New Year on X!!! :)

@Azarilh I thought so.

@Azarilh Is that something good or something bad? :P

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

Beat the Forest Temple today.

This is *incredible* work to recreate a device that never existed. He was faithful to the design, creative in how he made it work, and meticulous in the construction.

Its taken awhile but slowly I am getting everything set back up properly once again. I just got my Ko-Fi updated with all my new information and I uploaded all my Rain drawings there and I also added my VoxeLibre texture pack to my Ko-Fi as well~ Any free goodies I give away to the community will always be available to download there~

I would really appreciate it if you checked out my work. I think I've come far in 9 months

Mod 4 Win running on Windows 98. A music player that interestingly enough can load music from archived files such as ZIP, ARJ, and others. it has a jukebox mode that supports "2999 Modules in one session". The program can also load itself in a preset position on the screen set by the user.

@rain That's very nice of you, thank you so much :)

How I found your channel is a very random story. It turns out that I was updating Arch on another laptop and noticed that Minetest had changed its name, so I researched on Google and found your video.

Nice to see you again! Although I'm not as active on Mastodon as I used to be (I use Twitter more now).

Starting with... I began to learn #Blender. To the left, a model I made for testing vertex painting. To the right, a more complex model inspired on an old computer I used to have.

Haven't posted anything of value here in a while, so I'll be updating about some things that I've been doing in all this time.

7 days ago? My perception of time is completely messed up! @~@

Someone very kindly sent me some new highend Linux malware. Thank you to the nameless person.
