Rusty! 🏳️‍🌈 ᵇˡᵐ @RustyRetro@awoo.space

*taps snoot* is this thing on?

hi there! I'm Rusty, a red panda with a love of crusty old electronic things! I like to pick apart old video games to see what makes them tick, and document the unused stuff found inside. I also occasionally try to make pixel art, though I'm pretty rusty (ho ho).

here's some other web-type sites where I like to hang out:

website: https://rusty.rustedlogic.net
TCRF: https://tcrf.net
Twitch: https://twitch.tv/Rusty_Retro
birdsite: https://twitter.com/PixelatedWah

hey y'all. once again, it's been a while

I've been thinking about social media stuff, and I think I'd like to get back into Mastodon again, but on a different instance, like maybe plush.city

awoo is great and all, I have no beefs with them, but it's just not quite the ~vibe~ I'm looking for, you know?

I love both of these, but human Rachel is just *especially* perfect

it's been a while since I did the Picrew thing https://picrew.me/image_maker/338224

hey. it's been a while. sure is quiet here...

going live with Super Mario Bros. 4: Dinosaur Riding Simulator https://twitch.tv/Rusty_Retro

finishing up (?) Super Mario 64, then maybe other stuff? https://twitch.tv/Rusty_Retro

I bought Super Mario 3D All-Stars for some reason. let's check out Super Mario 64 https://twitch.tv/Rusty_Retro

checking out a few more arcade PCBs with the PARSEC Supergun + OSSC! https://twitch.tv/Rusty_Retro

time to revisit that obscure old console, the NES https://twitch.tv/Rusty_Retro

servals: baby
fennec foxes: Baby
red pandas: Extremely Baby

sometimes I see a species and my brain immediately goes "that, right there, is Baby"

hm, you know what, I think servals might be my favorite cats

half of me wants to know what's going on, while the other half is screaming "NO" very loudly

I've been avoiding social media and the news all night but I still just feel deeply unwell. my chest hurts and my head is foggy

time to finish Symphony of the Night. I know it's not Halloween anymore, who cares https://twitch.tv/Rusty_Retro

it was my first experience with Mastodon, and the staff and community gave me a very warm welcome and immediately made me feel right at home. I met so many wonderful people and learned a few things about myself there, and no hateful assholes are ever gonna take that away from me

I feel like I've been way less active on social media as a whole ever since the snouts bullshit went down. it sucks. awoo is nice and all, but I don't think it will ever fill the gaping snout-shaped void in my heart. there was something really special about that place to me
