About me:
KOLIBRI
The others... they've changed.
We no longer sing in unison.
I base my personality around various media and some abstract idea of misery. (That's informative enough, right?)
My activity here nowadays is a hit-or-miss type of deal, and besides that, I'm more than content with the buds I've made and the friendships I've cultivated over the last [n] months and counting. Bear that in mind just in case.
Additional deets in the pin if you want 'em. It's really just more of an addendum to the Music segment, though. If our tastes are strikingly similar, mmmmaaaaaybe consider adding me? /shrug

Who I'd like to meet:
Cool people. Or, to put that in more detail; anyone with shared interests looking to actually interact. I am, however, a bit too picky for my good sometimes. Don't take it the wrong way if I decline your req.
Who I'd rather not meet:
TL;DR: <18/>30, friend collector(!), private profiles, insufficiently alternative (you're free to interpret this one however y'want). If I accept your req despite falling into one of these blocks, I'm open to trying to interact with you, but I may end up unfriending you down the line anyhow. Please bear that in mind. NSFW stuff's fine, though it's not the kind of thing I discuss or shoot the shit about publicly (duh, I suppose).
On the off-chance that I decline your req, it's never meant out of malice; only basic conflict of taste / interest / whatever. Blocks are a different matter entirely, though.

Saw first reformed with spacehey movie club the other night. finally. I liked it overall I think, but I really wasn't sure what the message was at the end unless it was so raw to have been nothing but an expression of emotion. |

i hope life's been treating you well! likewise(!!), but also condolences off the bat. it may or may not have been courtesy of the 'reflections' option in the video settings; i'm on an RTX 40xx but having that thing enabled made my fans whirr like all hell at one point. could unironically be an enabled-by-default raytracing option which is kinda bizarre, especially given the ambiguity. |

do you know of the illustrious johnny five? from the hit film(s), short circuit? There's a priest, a minister, and a rabbi. They're playing golf, deciding how much to give to charity. The priest says "We'll draw a circle, throw the money in the air, and whatever lands inside the circle, gets donated." The minister says "We'll draw a circle, throw the money in the air, and whatever lands outside, that gets donated." The rabbi says "No no no. We'll throw the money way up in the air, and whatever God wants, he keeps!" the above comment is a paraphrase |

Where do you think the children from the holy shit has it really been more than a week since i last logged on?? goddamn My life's going great, but my mom literally had to move out of her house because her breaker box was... faulty is too weak of a word... one mistake away from blowing the front of her house off. But that went well so :)! And I'm just living my best NEET life until I can get a few things in order, as one does. |

has the new year been treating you well so far? i’m suddenly back to my bg3 obsession (which will probably last a month max) it's been relatively bland (and shockingly snowy) so far, but that's more of a pro than a con. grabbed skyrim's quasi-remaster on sale w/ the anniversary thing that comes with all the creation club jazz and it's been pretty great so far. feels nice playin' that thing while also bothering to give a crap about its world-building and characters. makes all the difference in the world (heh). i feel like i've heard so much about skyrim yet nothing at all. |

have you ever thought about crows? i’m very interested in your opinion about crows i do not actively think about crows, but i do think they're neat lil' creatures from the few irl interactions i had with 'em. feral pigeons tend to be more on my mind considering i run into several on the daily. the pigeons i run into these days are the most unbothered and calm creatures, they’ve probably gotten so used to humans by now judging from the way they don’t even fly away anymore when i get too close. |

If someone challenged you to a duel and you each got to pick a video game in which to 1v1, what would you pick and what would you hope they don't pick. either Quake III or Audiosurf 2 (even though the latter's a bit of a shaky pick), and Literally Any Other Fast-Paced, Present-Day Shooter, respectively. yourself? There are no games out there that I can say I'm in the upper echelons of, so my initial thought wasthat I would pick something obscure enough that the other person just wouldn't be able to figure it out (assuming the duel begins immediately with no time to practice). So my first thought for my pick was a weird ps1 game I've played with my mom called Intelligent Qube, but then it occurred to me that my opponent could just pick a game I've never played in retaliation, so maybe I wouldn't do that. I guess I can't answer my own question without knowing what kind of prep time we have before the duel. Wanna set a standard and I'll get back to you on it? bump acknowledged I think hexcells infinite's random puzzles would have to be my pick. I am by no means the greatest in the world at them, but I do think I am pretty damn good and the puzzles build on two other games of skills, so I feel like I still have an advantage that couldn't be matched in twelve hours. Btw, why pick audiosurf if it's shakey? Is quake also kinda shakey, or would stylin on someone in audiosurf be worth the greater risk of loss? response stays the same. re: audiosurf - it's... a lot riskier than a shooter would be, i think? if we're playing something speedy and upbeat on ninja (i.e. as2's "hard" mode), it eventually becomes very easy (for both of us) to fuck up and hit a spike, thereby losing the 'perfect stealth' bonus that's worth thousands of points. hell of an advantage, but high risk. |

the song playing in the background is super nice, another song to add to my music library thanks to you. it sounds like something out of a movie soundtrack yet i can't quite figure out the vibes yet, there are multiple scenarios coming to my mind. i've had that thought tickling the back of my head as well. kinda reminds me of the vibe some of Tangerine Dream's tracks had in Risky Business, but that's - at best - mildly unfitting. more than that, though, it reminds me of late '90s MIDI muzak if MIDI muzak was good and had more kick to it. "if MIDI muzak was good" made me giggle. really gotta get off my ass and listen to something other than Heaven or Las Vegas. that album's great, to be sure, but i feel like i've been doing CT a disservice by not checking out the rest of their discography. maybe one day... fingers crossed that you DO check out other stuff from cocteau twins, though i can’t blame you, heaven or las vegas is great, but so are their other albums. any personal recommendations? i'm seeing a lot of buzz around Treasure specifically, but i'll trust your judgement first and foremost. |

thanks for accepting my friend request! you seem really down to earth, and just a great person to be around in general. the kind words are appreciated; likewise. going over your interests while tackling my morning coffee and i couldn't help but smile at a handful of the entries. on that note—and i apologize in advance if this is, mayhaps, a bit overbearing at first;
before i start let me just say you giving me all those questions gave me the one of the biggest dumb smiles i've had in a long time. i greatly appreciate you personalizing questions just for me. okay lemme start; oh, sorry, i forgot to mention, please listen to her last full length project fraility! if you enjoyed CD, you'll love what it was built upon. you should also check out her other alias, leroy. she makes very loud abrasive sample-based music that is very overstimulating if you're into that junk. i continue to stand by the belief that every well-laid-out profile contains a long, winding convo (or several) that's just waiting to happen.
with regards to your outro: a rose by any other name—or, well, formatting in this case. all boxes of words are equally endearing and easy to read. unless you're actively typing in stacked <small> tags for whatever reason but that's neither here nor there :3 1. i'm definitely entry level when it comes to my experience with minimalism, but i've heard glassworks say 4 years ago when i was doing my usual dives into exploring genres that were new to me, and greatly enjoyed it. i hear familiar sounds reminiscent of it, so i'll definitely check this out! and yes, leroy i would definitely push to the side a little.
※ i actually didn't get any ghost notifs which is Kinda Big? that was like my one annoyance w/ SH's notif system. pretty dope if that's been taken care of in the meantime. 1. i will definitely try more of glass' work! thank you for the recommendations. i greatly enjoy chamber music, i have to take a listen to steve reich's work. i'll start with MfaLE like you linked! 2. this is, for lack of a better term, a notably ballsy design. zero blue boards, too. goodness. i didn't even expect myself to last this long! i'm more than fine with ending our conversation here though. you've introduced me to a lot of great stuff. if i have anything i think you'd find interesting, i'll leave you a comment randomly throughout your day. i'm gonna make lunch now. you have a good one! you're a very insightful person. |

How many bags of lentil chips have you gone through since you discovered their awesome power? I was gonna make a comment about how pleading the fifth is actually a bad idea and how you shouls always exercise your sixth ammendment right to a lawyer to refuse to say anything, but then I realised that the chip version of the sixth ammendment would also be the chipth, so maybe I'll stop asking questions and get you a lawyer. indeed i do. as luck would have it, my brother's godmother's mother is a judge and her late husband was a lawyer, so i am decently certain the quest will be easy.... but i don't need it for a while still so we're just waiting What plurality does "we" describe? Do you believe that I am interested enough to be considered a party in waiting or do you consider the future lawyer to be waiting with you even though I would assume they do not know of your intent to consult them yet? |

what's your take on youtube cracking down on Chromium-based browsers and adblock extensions? moved back to firefox. I could not reasonably and rationally assent to the assault of advertisements arranged anally and aurally from Alphabet. i saw that warning on a friend's laptop the other day and i was momentarily concerned that something changed in like the hour between myself being on yt and that moment. perhaps this particular issue is what finally gets people off of chromium, at least a decent amount (i'd hope). I just got up, forgive me very cool sidebar tabs that do grouping. allows me to have 50+ tabs open on each of my four windows and it looks fine and organized I uh... I might tool with that at some point - slated to start doing some streaming here if I can learn how to into streamyard (I'm cheap and I'm not learning OBS just yet) late to the convo but in short, don't really care. i've been wise where applicable I will re-rail this conversation by saying that invidious is a youtube frontend that's pro privacy and doesn't run ads. Owncast is a self-hostable streaming platform, of which jason has an instance that we use for a movie club, but the actual page for the software is here https://owncast.online/ |

i hate discord
for what you told me to come here for:
call it something reductive, like "sticky note" or "town square". simple, unassuming, but also describes what the purpose is (to be a little reminder (to use spacehey)(some people need that lmao) or because in the internet town of spacehey, your idea could be a/the little central place where the merchants and street performers and people just hanging out are)
i am a fan of a profile as a group, just as smc. there you can link everything fine, describe it all, etc... and of course the sticky note or the town hall or whatever you come up with can have a certain feel to it. for conversing in the group, i could see just making threads under a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly (depending on busyness) blog post to go well.

I will say that the main reasons I'm reluctant to set up a profile are that:
That's not to say that I've rejected the idea entirely, I just have concerns. But perhaps someone has an idea to remedy them, hence my asking around.

Jumpin' in on this very old comment thread to give unwarranted thoughts:
1. I really wish SpaceHey Groups had an exclusivity option
2. It could just be a link-only blog post where people comment in new projects. But then there's the hell of moderating what comes in.
3. Externally linking to a Google Docs or other multiple-people-working-on-the-same-thing service. This sucks because A) external linking and B) collecting emails
4. If only SpaceHey had JS, then it COULD be a webring. If SpaceHey had JS it would also be a nightmare so I'm glad it doesn't. But perhaps, with some iframe bullshittery, something pretty much like a webring could be used? (but it would have to be hosted elsewhere. gross.)
5. Actually. I'm having an idea... what about something like this?

Oh my god it worked in WYSIWYG for a beautiful fleeting moment and then broke as soon as it was actually posted. I forgot that SpaceHey only allows embeds from a scant few sites, not including SpaceHey itself. Leaving this up in case it sparks any better ideas and also so as not to ghost-ping Ikoe ('pologies)

name for the group
no thoughts, head empty. (that's not a suggestion or anything, i legit just don't know. bark up a smarter tree.)

ideas on how to organize it
very carefully.
central hub sounds stable enough. i'm operating on the semi-pessimistic assumption that it probably wouldn't be a particularly large collective at first (or perhaps later, either) so you wouldn't have to worry too much about overcrowding, in terms of members or info or whatever else.
also hi jason hi pory, hope life's treating you well :]

Before we begin, I'd like you to know that I didn't get a notification that you had replied here -- I hear spacehey is having notification problems in general rn -- so I saw your bulletin and nearly sent you a sassy comment. I typed the whole thing up before thinking to check how recently you had posted the bulletin, which got me to check your profile, showing that you have responded, so no bulletin response!
(Especially because you were around for one of my more recent influential personal escapades, so I have less to say to the specific prompt of the bulletin.)
In case you're curious though, here's my snarky response, "I have a whole list of things to talk to you about but I've been saving it for when you reply to my spacehey comment!"
Responses:
>Rewrite
Yeah... Personally I wanted to stick with the HanaBi layout for a while longer, but it become important to me that I get the content rewrite done soon and trying to make all that extra text fit with the already janky layout was just too much.
>DEFCON
So far I've only beaten the tutorial of DEFCON and a player who didn't even do the tutorial. "Beaten" for my purposes will be finding a match that feels about equally skilled and winning it.
Tbh the two suggestions I've liked the most are Jason's "town square" and my own "let us eat spacehey."
Between them, I think the phrase "this is a town square project" rings way better than "this is a let us eat spacehey project" , so I think that'll end up being the name of the central space when I end up making it, unless anyone has objections.Actually, after writing "central space," I think it's my new favorite. Jason, Pory, Ikoe, -- Rosco, if you're here, -- please give me thoughts about these three names.>organization
yeah, as much as I liked the idea of encouraging a sort of free association here, I think I'm coming to understand that running this will ultimately be my project, so that defeats a lot of my reservations about having a central form. It'll probably be a spacehey profile as well. Also, your prediction that this collective will remain quite small isn't pessimistic, it's just realistic. I feel the same way but hope that if I can inspire just a person or two to make something interesting, spacehey will be better for it. Thanks Jason, Ikoe, Pory, -- Vex, if you're here, -- for the input.

my eyesight is getting so bad that i had to meticiously read this whole thread like three times over before i registered the collective name suggestions. gahhhhh. i'm booking an appointment with the optometrist right now.
hello everybody, by the way, sorry i haven't leaned in on this earlier, lot of life changes. gahhh to that too. but in a more positive way. i wish i were still in college so that i'd have more time to dedicate to these things. lord knows my own personal projects are suffering for it, let alone my spacehey
on the names... i always tend to lean towards something more fun and evocative, town square is sorta charming but i think reductiveness w the title won't do much for the group, i appreciate the symbolism behind it but i think from an outside point of view i'm just gonna think everybody in this town square is boring, and this site in general is boring. if it's to be a place to champion the virtues of a place like this, then i think it may be a apt choice to go for something a bit more outstanding.let us eat spacehey is more fun and colorful, but at the same time hits a bit of a corner and sounds really artsy, 17th century french vibes on my spacehey.. i dunno. central space i like, it does sound like a collective, like this cabal is at the heart of the site. and its short and snappy and drives curiosity into who this central space is. so i think its the most effective option out of those proposed.
