I like video games, programming languages, and hacking things up with old video game hardware. I also post a lot about TV I'm watching, and sometimes books I'm reading too.
Used to stream on twitch (as megmactv) but don't really anymore.
Anything I say here is 1000% my own opinion and probably no one, including any employers I have or have had in the past, agree with me.

It was never really about trans actors playing trans characters.
It was about trans people telling trans stories.
Cis people looked at our single most precious resource — our stories — and simply declared: "Is mine now."
And when we got upset about it, they claimed it doesn't matter. But we are in the life-or-death position we are now because of decades of cis people gatekeeping, mediating and editorialising our stories for their own benefit, and the self-exoneration will not fucking fly.
What if I told you that the writer/designer of the Gabriel Knight adventure games from the 90s has over the last decade been publishing steamy M4M romance novels online under the pseudonym "Eli Easton"
There is an interview about it here

Been trying to pick back up some French that I've lost over the years to lack of use. I did French immersion from k-5 but then switched out for grade 6 after my sister did the same for high school, which I now kinda regret.
Anyways, that means I have pretty good intuition about French grammar since that was drilled pretty hard in those grades, even though I'd have trouble articulating the actual rules or listing out full conjugation tables of the main irregular verbs. But my vocab is shit. I remember a lot of words, but I have big gaps for surprisingly essential words.
A while ago I was doing Duolingo (before it fully became abusive crap) and it really didn't help much with any of that imo. But lately I've been doing just straight vocabulary flashcards with anki and I think that's going a lot better.
Sometimes simpler is better.
Sticking my nose into ewaste this morning and found this cute portable Toshiba TV. The thing that grabbed me is that it is colour, most of those were monochrome.
Took it home, powered it up and it didn't make any bang noises or smoke. Knowing that it appears ok, I connected my PSOne to it and as you can see, it works perfectly with it (ignore the banding). This little TV will be great for vintage displays.
Hey would any Edmonton locals be interested in an old (but not like.. Heirloom old) 12" cast iron pan that's in really really rough shape but might be salvageable with some time and effort?
I just don't have the spoons to do it myself, but it doesn't make sense for it to keep rotting in my closet.
Please enjoy this sky feather, courtesy of the random beauty of nature.
Now that I have an annual pass for the Muttart: Do I know anyone who has visited during the adults-only hours on Wed evenings, and knows how admissions work there?
Basically I am unclear on whether my annual pass is good for Wed 5-9pm as well, or if I'd need to purchase admission separately since it's kind of an "event night," but not really?
Cat!
