ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I am only tweeting by mistake I am not using this account again... most likely 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 22/09/2026incredible levels of stress today dealing with the monitor that was faulty and finances and so on but... it'll all get better 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 22/09/2026just used a 32inch 4k monitor for the first time holy shit why was I stuck on 1080p for so long 100

ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Physical health in a bad way, up 6+ times a night, feet cramping, knees hurting, feeling uneasy and pain. Very stressed. 011
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 18/03/2026I am quite sure you would describe my autism as moderate, not severe, not mild. It has profound impact on my functioning and daily life but much of it is experienced internally, in public a lot is suppressed, but the way I live my life and my capacity to do some things is significantly affected. 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 18/03/2026I totally forgot how I used to have substantially altered perception a lot in 2024 during my mood dsyregulation, like my vision would be often affected, I would see things differently. Post assault I don't get any of these features. 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 17/03/2026honestly the world runs on cheap shit like this. Basically there's often a strong trade off between basic sustenance and food availability and ecological damage. 010
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 17/03/2026I only need four things in life food / sensory stability / a computer / internet access 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I have a label maker and I love printing out labels to stick on all of my portable drives and SSDs 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Definitely the strongest up phase in awhile, but why? Maybe because I had a glass of red wine yesterday. I never otherwise drink 000

ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 16/03/2026this is a bipolar *like* temperament. I did cross the threshold for type II, but only on mirtazapine, now on a reduced dose I only get small amplitude up periods that don't last as long, but I think it is the core part of my etiology, mood, always has been 001
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 16/03/2026When I am high energy I become extremely charismatic, I feel special, but I literally become verbally more fluid, I don't stutter, I reach for and find figures of speech more easily, I am more creative, music sounds good 100
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I'm dealing with major challenges in life at the moment that affect my life, but it also has made me profoundly focused, detail oriented, in relation to those problems 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 15/03/2026emulation and retro handhelds and nostalgia have helped me massively as I try to deal with ongoing, complex domestic abuse. 010
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 15/03/2026I feel like you never hear about spain anymore, it's like it doesn't exist 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 15/03/2026I had a small glass of red wine on an empty stomach and now I'm totally frazzled 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 14/03/2026I am craving the lidl giant neo biscuits, they are delicious, they have an almost salty taste underlying the chocolate and sugar that makes them so addictive 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 14/03/2026suddenly a wave of feeling good - it's hard to get often because I'm in pain so often 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I have to log everything, record every interaction. You never know what this person is going to try next. They are obsessive, they also have quite substantial resources, they're this person is also somewhat stupid. But resources can make up for stupidity, when you're rich. 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I can't talk about it at the moment, but you wouldn't believe the domestic abuse that I am experiencing at the moment. It is profoundly sinister, persistent, everyday I have to think carefully about it and how I am going to keep myself safe. 100
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026hence it always feels like a bargain, I keep accumulating machines the same is true for retro handhelds I very quickly purchased odin 2 ayn thor one of the generic RG handhelds that are very cheap steamdeck I would happily start purchasing a lot more too but I have to try and save money 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026a lot of this comes from growing up and wanting a computer so much and not having one and reaching all the PC hardware magazines over and over again now i can actually get one they feel magical to me, they have a value internal to me that's much higher than the listed price 100
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I have used a m1 mac for logic and for general use and it was more than adequate hardware wise. funnily enough I used it for a few months then put it away in a draw and then never turned it on again lmao. I still think it's neat though. I can never have enough computers. 100
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026the hardware is good, the silicon is good - it's wasted on their ecosystem and design choices. just as an aside. 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026several factors more demanding. conclusion: people write off new hardware as incapable because of where it sits in the price hierachy of the current product offering without thinking OBJECTIVELY about the capability of the machine not a big mac fan, I don't like apple's philosophy 100
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026the existing backlog of games is eminently playable video editing and music production, hardware requirements have not underwent the same transformation at all, we're often editing equivalent bit rate footage, or if there is an increase in requirements it's not like in gaming where it's by 100
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026the only exceptions are gaming and especially AI workloads which do require specialized hardware however with gaming, huge progress has been made with integrated GPUs, mobile arm based GPUs, it's just that demands have genuinely shifted with modern games 200
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I actually remember what it was REALLY like when you had a PC that couldn't do stuff in the 2000s, when the limitations were real and profound. These days even cheap computers are extremely powerful and capable. especially for work like video editing or music production 100
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I haven't tested it myself, but I'm certain you would have to be REALLY pushing it to get to the point where the hardware was holding you back, like beyond editing 4k holiday footage or a 4k vlog with effects. We were doing these things on hardware many factors worse 10 years ago 100
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026the macbook neo benchmarks as superior to the m1 macbook air, close to it, but ahead when that m1 device was released, did everyone say, this isn't suitable for video editing or music production? no! it was praised as being effective at that task 100
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 13/03/2026people just regurgitate talking points especially for technology, especially on the basis that only premium hardware is suitable for certain workloads like video editing, it bothers me lmao for example, 100

ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Worst games were Pandora Tomorrow (made me very motion sick), secret weapons over normandy, Goldeneye Rogue Agent, 000
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Of the list the AAA tier games were, in order of how good Halo 2 > Halo CE > Fable > Driv3r > Starwars Battlefront > Mercenaries 110
ℹ️ @xtal.bsky.social · 10/03/2026I always REALLY wanted GTA Vice City and especially San Andreas but I wasn't allowed. I also really wanted Jade Empire, and Star Wars Battlefront II, it's sad because if I had those games I would have played them for thousands of hours. 100
