General

Movies

Star Wars (franchise)
+ horror movies of any kind -- just know that I tend to be a bit of a snarker when it comes to horror movies, but I'm no pretentious film critic and I'm very fine with the opinions of others :)

I seldom get immersed in fiction, but I watch a lot of documentaries.

Television

Trying to get more into anime... feel free to give me recommendations!

I really like Madoka Magica, Doraemon, Power Rangers (franchise), Transformers (franchise), Star Wars TV derivatives, Teen Titans, Scooby Doo (franchise, but Mystery Inc is my favorite)

Books

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python by Al Sweigart
The Phoenix Project: a Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win by Gene Kim
The Ubuntu Server Book :)

Heroes

LGR - Clint Basinger

abandonware's Blurbs

About me:

I'm Dandy, a backend development intern @ Microsoft. Currently somewhere magical in my 20s. Cybersecurity enthusiast and a lover for all things disability accommodation and accessibility in technology.
I speak English and Spanish (Castellano) fluently and I'm currently learning Catalan.
Member 2/6 of Retrobox TV.

My messages are open to everyone, but i am a little bit shy so please don't take it personally if I don't respond! I prefer big group discussions and tend to respond more quickly there. :)

Who I'd like to meet:

JS junkies, htmlheads, css cretins, retro gaming fans, music maniacs, people who post niche facts about their interests in their bulletins, abandonware aficionados, linux lunatics, cat people, vampires, people who sail the high seeds 🏴‍☠

Not limited to just this -- I love meeting new people, learning about new things, and getting into new media!

If you friend me you're subscribing to niche gaming and tech facts in my bulletins. Sorry, not sorry!

Hi, thanks for the add! Cool profile, love old tech/media. If you want an anime recommendation, I think you would like Steins;Gate. It's a science fiction story about time travel. It takes inspiration from 2000s internet culture with emphasis on the John Titor hoax. I use Arch, btw.
