Today, I have conducted a full two-and-a-half hour interview inside a text-based virtual world from the 90s... and only at the cost of waking up at 6 am!

Not only it's utterly broken on all clients I use, it feels like there are two disjointed implementations of the topics feature with different UI?? I'm still confused

I've been researching the early online history of transformation fans. I got access to the archive of a popular mailing list, and I skimmed it for themes and topics of interest. I was astonished to find a serious discussion on species dysphoria back then, and their comment on the topic was notable.

I contacted somebody last night with an inquiry about an email they had sent in 1997. I found their writing poignant and before its time, so I wanted to ask for permission to quote it. They replied positively. I bet it was unexpected! Part of my learning to be a responsible archivist and historian.

While researching early internet culture, I get the feeling that communities these days just don't chronicle their history. No rich FAQs, no wikis. I see there was pride in mailing lists and websites; maybe running a Discord server just isn't the same? Telegram groups may as well be fast fashion...

Ten years after I last worked on it, people are still writing me emails asking for my unfinished Sega Game Gear port of Pokémon Red. So I published it in its glitchy state:

A little expirement-slash-art-project, this image displays the individual tile graphics used in Pokémon Gold for the Game Boy Color. They are arranged in chronological order as they appear during regular gameplay. You could read it left to right, top to bottom, page by page, like a book.

I'm imagining traveling somewhere remote, spending my whole days outside doing bird fieldwork, and then in the evening in the cozy log cabin... just connecting online with this setup and chatting on IRC.

Enjoyed playing this one on my old Sony Ericsson three years ago until I seemingly got stuck in a softlock. One of my favorite western JRPGs
