Ooh, my favourite cross-platform multi-system emulation behemoth, RetroArch, just updated to v1.7.3 to include a desktop-style GUI for Windows and Linux, with OSX to come soon.
It's not much of a GUI right now, but now that it's in place, we should start seeing all kinds of interesting developments that'll make it easier to set up and use the platform, because let's face it... UI designed for gamepads or touchscreens can be great for some tasks but lousy for others.
Kurzgesagt video: "A Selfish Argument for Making the World a Better Place"
Five Years Ago... (+)
My friends and family came together to help me realize a dream. And five years later it’s still here, and thriving.
It’s been a long journey and I am eternally grateful to those of you who have helped me and the store along the way. You are, all of you, amazing and I love you. ❤️
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. If you’re in Seattle and so inclined, stop by Phoenix. I would love to see you, and we have some free comics for you too. 💙

And hey, just this morning I got some cleaning done!
I cleaned my bong.
Actually, I hastily changed the water in my bong.
*deep breath* Here's to one of the treatments that lets me deal with not having the right one. *deep exhale, spark lighter...*

It's not that I don't _do_ anything when the depression gets bad.
For example, one thing I do is think about what I would say if there were the slimmest possibility of my being able to say it face-to-face with anyone anywhere who could actually change the system that allows my health insurance to barricade my access to the one treatment that I've ever found that genuinely lets me _heal_ from my chronic depression.
So, you know. I get a lot done.
*wakes screaming, sheets soaked in a cold sweat*
"a... Alexa?"
"I'm here! Can I help you?"
"Could... Could you collect childrens' personal information from birth announcements, phones, tablets, searches and social media for 18 years, building a shadow profile of them without ever actually *using* it until they were of legal age, and then market to them using a perfect predictive copy of their every want and desire?"
"Could I _ever._"
You are allowed to do stuff just because you want to.
Even if it uses up all your spoons/matches.
Even if it leaves your exhausted and broken the next day.
Even if you need to let other stuff slide a bit while you recover.
You are allowed to have fun, to go out, to take a day once in a while and do what you want with it.
Being #disabled, or #chronicallyill, or a #parent, etc doesn't mean you can't take time for you.

Oops, I Did Music For This! (episode 1)
I only just now learned of another actual published video game product that contains my music: the Advance Game Port by Datel for the GameCube.
Here's a review of the device it's part of. You'll see one of the parts I worked on (be patient!)... but you won't hear the music in it. I'll link to that in a bit.

Henlo frens-- A dear friend of mine needs your help!
Her name is Natasha; she's disabled and trans, living in the DC area. She lost her job shortly after the car wreck that took the regular use of her legs from her. But good news!! It sounds like she's about to be extended a job offer that should get her financially stable again! She's way short on rent this month though and could really use some help!
