Fawkes's Blurbs

About me:

I like libre software, play video games, listen to funny music, poke computers, and watch old cars go vroom. Only reason I'm late to spacehey is because I needed a break after the fallout of win93 myspace. Arch btw. PGP key

Who I'd like to meet:

Not furries, god damn.
More seriously, I'd like to meet people who want to use this site as an actual social media. I'm not here for nostalgia, nor am I here for custom css webpages (slick as fuck tho). I'm on spacehey because I legitimately believe that this iteration of social media was the healthiest we will ever get.

So add me if you think I'm cool and I'll add you back if I feel the same way. I keep my friends list small because I try to interact with all of my friends daily.

I've not been attending to spacehey as I regularly do as I've been visiting family for thanksgiving (and before that I was just lazy, so it goes). It'll get fixed soon :tm:.

by Fawkes; ; Report

it’s a nice little riddle in the css for you

by sookie; ; Report

on that note, how's your thanksgiving been so far? what'd you do for thanksgiving dinner?

by bonkmaykr; ; Report

1. All is well now in the world.

2. Went back to my home town for thanksgiving, saw family, went to a bar for the first time since turning 21. Got to eat at my favorite German restaurant and the rolled flauta joint that I love, although I missed on the other two taco places that I love. I taught myself gyro aiming so I could play tf2 on the steam deck. Helped my mom set up for Christmas since my dad won't get back from Africa till January and she can't set everything up alone. Thanksgiving dinner was honestly the low point of the whole week since I had to talk to more of my extended family and not call them stupid when they brought up their personal alien sightings and how some people can see with x-ray vision in real life. The food was epic though, so all's well that ends yummy, I suppose.

by Fawkes; ; Report

That sounds epic, what's your favorite thanksgiving food and why is it pumpkin pie?

by bonkmaykr; ; Report

Look two comments down for my real favorite that is not pumpkin pie.

i borrowed my roommate's 3ds to try out one of the rhythm heaven games. they're very charming but the gameplay is a bit too slow for my preferences

also, i just noticed you have adventure time listed in the shows you like. have you seen the fionna and cake spinoff yet? i finished the main series just recently and plan to watch it

Report Comment



I will probably watch the fiona and cake stuff eventually, but it ia not near the top of my list currently.

Who are some of your favorite ambient composers/albums/songs? I must pick your brain on this

Report Comment



I don't identify any of the music I regularly listen to as being ambient first and foremost in terms of genre, but I'll do my best to identify stuff that I would put on for ambience.

First thing that comes to mind is desert sand feels warm at night https://desertsand.bandcamp.com/album/--25

or perhaps some of the work by the artist once known as telepath https://telepathtelepath.bandcamp.com/album/--40

Windows96 and home and taia7777 are also great in general.


I listen to a lot of barber beats, and those sometimes feel ambient. Notable favorites are:
https://genomrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-special-nothing-wonderful
https://genomrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ep-5
https://genomrecords.bandcamp.com/album/lp-2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyJXkKWsxko
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw5Gr8zSc2g
https://obliqueoccasions.bandcamp.com/album/anathema

All entries after this point are sourced from me just scrolling through my youtube playlist and picking out anything that feels ambient.

How do you feel about custom one-off LPs?

Report Comment



I wouldn't do them if I was an artist, as making the stuff I create available is super important to me, but if someone else felt that it was appropriate for their art, so be it.

oh yeah, I keep all my peripherals black or white, even my monitors.
Thoughts on using a Panasonic AG-500 as a fourth monitor for gits and shiggles?

Report Comment



I wouldn't keep a crt running constantly, but they can be fun for when you want to see things through that window.

by Fawkes; ; Report

It doesn't run constantly, I paid $100 for it and I try to keep all my CRTs as low-hour as possible. Some of the rheostats for brightness and such need a bit of a fix but it's still a strong picture for it being made in June of 1986

by Hyan; ; Report

How many CRTs do you maintain?

by Fawkes; ; Report

I have a Zenith Concierge I got for free, a paper-white Princeton MAX-15, two Magnavox amber monitors and the Panasonic AG-500. The Zenith has a geometry issue that needs fixing.
