I don't really care about sharing much with you guys, I'm just here to say silly things and disappear for a few days. 37 y.o. (and the number never seems to go back down...).

If I could get a bit of help with this I'd appreciate it. Would certainly help improve the mood of streams, let alone my day to day. Autism makes my sensory needs pretty big - primarily audio I'm about halfway to affording it thanks to help from my community on discord ko-fi.com/sparkysummer...
No ping for this because rn I feel a bit icky about it for some reason

Having talked with a couple people that Know Their Shit, the fix to my current issue is going to be to get an audio DAC with a preamp in it. Basically something to give my headset - which it turns out is studio grade and therefore needs more juice - more juice. I'm going for a lower cost, entry-level option that comes recommended for my specific headset.

I feel like shit here but I am legitimately out of headset purchasing money rn. I have savings but I'm eyeing up my washing machine right now and it appears to be Going Fucky so it's kinda earmarked for the inevitable repair costs on THAT.

Any help will be appreciated, if you want me to doodle something for you I'll try my best but my confidence with art has been destroyed lately ><

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

Name your fav game made before 2000: Hands down, it was Exile III: Ruined World. Jeff Vogel's games were, collectively, one of the few good memories I have of my childhood.
A screencap of Exile III: Ruined World, with the premade character Janneke and party exploring an almost obnoxiously green grassy plain next to a river. The game proper is mostly set within a very dated woodgrain background window.

Don't let the powers that be convince you that passion is blase. These books were written by human hands, restored by human hands and meant to be held in human hands. This work is important. Passion is the only thing that took us from the savannas and caverns to reaching the stars and beyond.

1 in 280 people have Lynch syndrome; about 1 million in the US alone. It's a heritable condition where the DNA proofreading machinery fails, leading to VERY high rates of certain cancers (colorectal & endometrial). A new vaccine could intercept tumors in these patients, saving lives.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

At the 1991 CES trade show, Nintendo's booth allowed attendees to stand in front of a green screen, which would then be overlaid over Super Mario World, so they could "be in the game" with Mario. The bad syncing on the overlay gives the resulting footage an extremely amateurish appearance.
