Fawkes's Interests

General	I have always been entranced by mythological imaginations of technology which does not yet have solid grounds -- visions of computers yet to be. I don't really have a name for the aesthetics that I like, but if you stick around long enough you'll find some theme. I am on a slow burn quest to consume all of the halo media. Currently reading The Cole Protocol and on the verge of starting Halo 3 Legendary with two separate groups.
Vidya	All time favorites: The Dishonored Franchise Halo 2 Minecraft Roblos... Half-Life 1 specifically Recent Conquests: The Forgotten City Chiv 2 Getting over it with Bennett Foddy x4 Halo 2 MCC Legendary Co-op skull sightseeing run Rad Racer 2 for the 3rd time Mario Pajama Sam's Sock Works Games I aim to beat next: 100%ing Dishonored 1 DEFCON Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk Noita Slime rancher Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (lfg) Total War: NAPOLEON Current slop games: Chiv 2
Music	Current fav: <a href="https://nonbinarylove.bandcamp.com/album/lost-in-reality" rel="ugc">lost in reality by non-binary love</a> Genres: Vapor, slush, gabber, future funk, chillwave, ambient electronic, funk, new wave, drum & bass, jungle, barber beats. I curate the worst, most incoherent, gibberish music playlist on the planet. My music discovery process usually just involves clicking on youtube recommendations and getting bandcamp emails, but occasionally I'll do some sniffing about on music-map.
Movies	Once upon a time, I would only watch movies that had been influential since their release, but also weren't any older than like five years out of the theater. Now I run two distinct movie clubs where the audience decides on the movie every week, so I am beyond genre or understandable selection criteria. I have a ratio of nearly 2500 on adventure time. Some personal favorites are: Blade Runner & 2049, though I think 2049 would be a better movie without the return of Deckard. Gattaca, perhaps the movie which planted the seeds of my distrust of biometrics at a young age. Blazing Saddles, for what it did to the wholesome western as much as the comedy itself. Tron, Master Control Program, my beloved. Hana-bi, my favorite movie from spacehey's favorite director. The Secret of NIMH, the ultimate wizard shit media. Also rodentcore. Andrei Rublev, a Christian movie so deeply contemplative that it pops up in my brain almost every time I think about religion. It's Such a Beautiful Day, a wonderful film about what we live for. Citizen Kane, I watched the funny movie and therefore get to put it on my list. 12 Angry Men, a movie that would not get nearly as much time on the brainulator if not for the scene where a racist just gets obliterated. The Trotsky, a movie which manages to be intellectual and utterly stupid at each and every moment and own it.
Television	Girls und Panzer, Bee & Puppycat, Regular show, infinity train, rvb, Adventure Time, SEL, boondocks, Mr. Robot, Futurama, Azumanga Daioh, the IT Crowd.
Books	I read sci-fi, fantasy, and weird pdfs I find on the internet. Favorite academic literature: The Rise of the Computer State Born Red You Have the Right to Remain Innocent Favorite delusions: Football 17776 and 20020 The Repossession Mambo Friday Black The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect The Halo Series Neuromancer I read more as a kid than I do now as an adult and it's a real point of shame.
Heroes	Edward Snowden, Terry A. Davis, K, Guy Fawkes (hence the handle), every last weirdo who died in the Waco Siege, John Isidore, the Master Control Program, Lain's dad, Cloudy J, Lighter Than Some, Sgt. Avery Johnson, Al Gore, Arby of Arby's lore, Maelcum of Zion, Nemu.

Fawkes's Blurbs

About me:

I am made of loose threads, bent pins, the magic touch, and some sheer stubbornness.

I spend a lot of time writing down that I should do things and less time doing them. For a very long time this profile bio was simple because It's hard to find the right way to explain yourself for others. I think my old intro was mostly helpful for the very few people who are me.

I'm a computer guy first, a gamer second, and a wizard third.

I try to be good, but it's hard and sometimes it feels like there's too much good to do. I try to be deliberate and contemplative, but it's hard and sometimes there's too much at hand to consider all carefully. I try to be consistent with my beliefs and actions, but it's hard and sometimes I forget my own preferences and betray them. I ask that you understand and hope that you can forgive.

I grew up with limited tools, but an environment in which I was generally allowed to do as I pleased with the tools I was given. I like to think that having to make my own fun often as a child guided the attitudes that I have towards my things today. It's rare that I don't tinker with my possessions to get them just right for me and once they are right for me, I try to repair and maintain them for as long as possible. Every time I visit my hometown my mom makes me buy new shoes because I'll wear a pair until I can't sew or glue them back together anymore.

I prefer to leave comments in public instead of using dms, as I like jumping into public conversations and having my conversations jumped into. Feels very open and welcoming to me, where leaving comments on empty profiles feels like shouting into the void sometimes.

I promise that I'm easy to talk to. I imagine that I can be kinda intimidating, but feel free to strike up conversation about any of my interests, your interests, or otherwise. To avoid feeling like I'm spamming people, I often treat commenting as a game of turns, so if you haven't gotten a comment in a while, it's because I'm trying to avoid being annoyingly chatty. Just hmu and I'll be on it.

PGP key if you need it.

Who I'd like to meet:

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 my friends fairly often. This used to say daily, but that was a stick that burnt at both ends.

Pory	1731915066 I see Pajama Sam in your recently-played list and I have to ask you if you've played Putt-Putt Saves The Zoo. There is an Imposing, Hairy, Very Australian car in it. I had it as a kid and found it INCREDIBLY difficult but I went back and re-played it under Steam's refund time limit and it was a breeze. This is proof that I am at least slightly smarter than I was when I was like 8. Report Comment
audrey	1729620100 its been a bit since i last talked to you. how is life going for you right now? Report Comment I am very very tired. Sleepy man all the time. I yawned writing this sentence. I have a halloween party tonight but would rather be playing an idle roblox game while I work on my Operating Systems code by Fawkes; 1729881187; Report

Kris	1728329203 all the color has gone, i'm blind! you've got a sick profile, very crunchy look to all the text. you'll have to 1v1 me on roblos though. Report Comment I appreciate it! What type of 1 v 1? Because the only two things I reliably do on roblox are pretend to be french and parkour... by Fawkes; 1728795137; Report
Pory	1728116922 Oh shit new layout? I need to dust off my fall layout soon... Anyways, cloth mother or wire mother? Report Comment Cloth mother ftw. I've been thinking about wire people a lot lately. I like to joke that I won't get tattoos because I'm against body mods, but the funny part for me is that it's true. I have a hard time sitting still to get shots at the doctor's, much less a desire to have bionic eyes and rfid chips under my skin. by Fawkes; 1728159870; Report I don't want bionic eyes because I'm afraid that Big Eyeball Corp would go bankrupt and leave me with a defunct unsupported part of my body because of course Big Eyeball eyeballs communicate through a central server and after 20 years their internal domain would get sold off to some wellness guru and every morning when I wake up it'd uncontrollably load a fucking webpage that tries to sell me colloidal silver. Or it'd get bought out and all of a sudden there's BANNER ADS. I wouldn't want RFID implants because I wouldn't want to card skim me by shaking my hand :/ [But anything that is my body alone is fair game. I have a few piercings and I want tattoos someday. But honestly my Holy Grail Body Mod™️ is a split tongue, because that's one of the few things that you can do to your body that MIGHT make it more useful. But I also give myself shots often and thus don't fear needles or anything :(] by Pory; 1728161311; Report

Pory	1725807104 Apparently there are two other Fawkses on SpaceHey, have you considered recruiting them to act as your back-ups? And/or defeating them to establish your dominance as the Fawkes? Report Comment I think I friended one, but any further plans are dependant on them logging onto spacehey and accepting my fr. by Fawkes; 1726008907; Report I see you're playing the long game... by Pory; 1726011709; Report
Pory	1724625722 Would you rather fight a fox-sized Guy Fawkes or a Guy Fawkes-sized fox? Both of them really want to fight you. Mini Guy Fawkes has one miniature barrel of gunpowder (about the size of a soda can) and the giant fox is partial to quail eggs (none of which are big enough now that it's human-sized, which is why it's angry). You gain no benefit from defeating them but if you run away they'll pursue you and try to track you down. The fox can smell your trail but is stupid and Guy Fawkes cannot track your scent but has human intelligence. Report Comment fox-sized Guy Fawkes is an absolute win IMO. If I fight him, he's just a small man which I totally win a fight against and if I run away, I don't think that a random pre-insustrial society guy would be able to navigate this society well enough to do very well in hunting me. by Fawkes; 1724719568; Report

Tan10o	1719538356 I am curious as to what your most distinctive memory is about computers/what was the moment that you really got you into the things that go on, on the cyberspace.

Pory	1718989848 Re: Bee and Puppycat in your interest list: I REALLY LIKE Bee and Puppycat, like the YouTube version. But every time I've sat down and tried to watch the Netflix version I've ended up asleep. Like it just knocks me out. I wish I could watch it all the way through because it's right up my alley. To be fair I can usually get a few episodes in, and maybe I just need to watch it in batches... Report Comment The Netflix version is straight up the worst, as much as I love it. The VRV version is a hidden gem. It's the YouTube version edited into two plot episodes, with just a bit of bonus content in the YouTube art style. by Fawkes; 1719013124; Report
bonkmaykr	1718206967 when i was a kid people used to grind up smarties and pretend they were crack cocaine Report Comment I remember that happening in my middle school.

surfwaxcanada	1717862689 Do you agree that tootsie rolls only taste good sometimes? And if you consistently eat them, do some taste good and others just don't? I wonder if that's why they're only good sometimes and awful other times Report Comment Unilateral disagreement. The only time I am incapable of enjoying a tootsie roll is if I have consumed such an amount that it leaves my taste-buds fatigued. by Fawkes; 1717885227; Report That makes sense. I kind of hoped that some tootsie rolls are just better than others for an unexplainable reason but I guess it turns out that I only like them sometimes. I am going to eat 500 of them in one sitting and report how many were good and how many were bad by surfwaxcanada; 1717887005; Report How many licks does it take to make tootsie rolls taste bad? The world may never know. by Fawkes; 1717887766; Report The world DOES know now because I just tested it. On the bad ones, it's one.

Mister Melancholy	1717541589 How were you able to organize those movies clubs and what are the selection process like to pick the movies? Report Comment So the first movie club is a spacehey thing and the second movie club is basically the in-person version of the same. Basically, everyone shows up and suggests a movie and then we host multiple choice voting either over a chat or via a show of hands. Whatever movie has the most support will be magically procured using arcane sorcery and then it either goes on the tv in my house for the in person movie club, or we stream it over a private owncast instance. by Fawkes; 1717543286; Report Sounds fun. One time I had a big gathering and I tried doing a thing where I blindly pick 6 movies then I get the first 5 minutes of each them and edit them together. Then I show the mix and everyone gets to vote. by Mister Melancholy; 1717544069; Report That sounds like a lot of production work. We just pull up the imdb pages. by Fawkes; 1717544171; Report
