Once upon a time I was Mr. MAGFest. Then I did a chiptune NIN tribute.
Now I live in a van down by a river, still write chiptunes, run Bloop Museum.
Someday I'll finish a synthesizer I'm building and ditch meat.

I need a hail mary or whatever.
This fundraiser — so I can operate a computer & game museum in a building all its own — is 2/3 from being done.
I can start moving when it hits 80%. Deadline: 1mo.
Not asking any one person for 40 grand, but 80 people with $500? That's doable.
Please spread this.

We've crossed another milestone - $160K!
Thank you to everyone donating to our building campaign - we can put an offer in on the one we've selected in just $40K.

Quick update: We hit 200K today, and I'm retaining a lawyer and contacting the real estate broker.
THANK YOU to all who have supported this journey. I know a fair number of our supporters are here.

Sorry I'll never get to write those Apple IIGS bangers for your game, Becky - I hope you're finally able to see Jennell again. 🫂
So saddened to lose Burger Becky, teller of stories, coder of games, ports, libraries. Becky was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma just 2 months ago. The gofundme was to help with her care; now it's for the funeral.

You know you're busy moving a computer museum when other people have to remind you that it's #BandcampFriday
Anyway, inversephase.bandcamp.com and hopefully I'll get your order out soon if it's physical, please be patient as I drive back and forth and pack/unpack my things

@havocosiris.bsky.social hey, it hits a little weird that you're making people-forward posts that, for example, suggest that AI determining care is bad, but then you have an AI header. My vote is for a new header from one of your fans

Sad to hear the news that videogame musician Pete Clarke passed away today after a long illness. He worked for Ocean Software and Software Creations in Manchester during the early/mid 80s and created music for the BBC Micro and C64. RIP Pete.

Yo! Tomorrow's #BandcampFriday. I don't have anything new, but if there's a thing you don't have from @bandcamp.com of mine already, it'd mean a lot if you try something new! I'll be spending Friday moving part of @bloopmuseum.bsky.social to its new spot, where I have more room to work on new music.

Did you know that over one third of Bloop's collection is boxless?
This means two things:
- We will definitely take your loose game or hardware item.
- We will definitely take your empty box or orphaned manual.
Let us know if you have either, and we'll reunite it. We are variant-aware!
