I've made grand plans and put zero effort into getting them to fruition

that's a lie, I put in a modicum of effort but it turns out I have to write a crap load of linux drivers (might be able to keep them as userland, hopefully) to make this successful.

Hello! I'm Silver Alicorn, the computer janitor everyone loves! Happy yosmas in advance~

I'm an off-and-on collector of vintage tech, though I'm somewhat short on space as I've moved to a new apartment. That said I am interested in blu rays, PS4 games, small stones and minerals, sterling silver, and red pandas. I don't have a red panda calendar for 2020. I also don't have a Wild Republic Jumbo Red Panda Plush.

If you want to do the yospos vintage tech thing, I have a circa 2000 "workstation" PC that could use a sound card upgrade or something. I also have a PowerMac G4 (Sawtooth) that works and a Mac SE/30 that doesn't work (yet).

I'm a transfemme nonbinary so your fashion ideas are probably invalid for me, but I wear unisex medium or women's large for t-shirts. I would also love some leggings or a skater dress from dustrial dot net and they are yospos as gently caress. Living dead clothing is another favorite but they swing more cute/mystical/pop culture. (my leggings size is XL on both those sites and I have 2XL dresses from Living Dead that fit great)

I have an amazon wishlistu that I will be updating as I think of stuff: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/33V0PJAVFYO52/

Please do not gift me alcohol, I have no pets either.

Cheers!

E: oh cool I can share this wishlist https://dustrial.net/apps/iwish?share=2695766736999

hi folks, it's your creepy coworker, el dorito

I like coffee, computers, cooking, photographic cameras, camping, concert sheet music, C/C++ and CentOS.

Non fiction books (or related miscellanea) related to the above are great. Shirt size is american men's large but please no witty computer stuff (corporate logos are fine but I may not wear any red hat stuff in public, or any oracle stuff on principle). I have no allergies. Alcohol is fine.

Fiction books are perfectly fine. If you like it, I'll probably like it too.

I touch the computers

I enjoy doing statistical physics for fun. Also combinatorics. Also food. More weird the better. Things I have eaten: skate, a few non endangered sharks, locusts, cockroaches, hakarl, fugu, ikizukiri, still living octopus, durian, and many mangosteens.

I believe that San Francisco must be bashed down and replaced with block after block of soulless 50 story concrete apartments

I am writing a tool for planned economies also for fun

I exclusively wear one brand of shirt and one brand of pants and one brand of socks unless I'm going to court, a wedding or a funeral so you should not give me clothes

Anime must be wiped off the face of this cursed earth

- i am a huge space nut, spacemans books and memorabilia is always a hit with me

- i love to get tasty treats and other locally-made items from where you live
-- that said i am a terrible goonlord who does not enjoy beer or coffee.

- i have two cats, they are extremely adorable. cat treats and toys are very welcome

- old nerd stuff from before the 90s

- clever t-shirts should be in size XL

hi I’m achmed jones. I touch computers and hearts.

I like:

* the aesthetic and music surrounding vaporwave, synthwave, and related genres
* old computers from the commodore64 era; I have a ti-99/4a
* painting tiny dragons and animals and stuff (especially doing this with my son)
* hacker stuff (in the “hack the planet/ropchain” sense, not the hacker news sense)
* spicy food and also non-spicy food (I’m always stoked to try whatever local foods, condiments, etc you might want to throw at me)
* beer and bourbon and red wine
* cyberpunk (both the genre of literature and the general neon and chrome and dystopia aesthetic)
* renaissance fairs and similar
* sci fi and fantasy stuff in general
* fully automated luxury gay space communism
* I’m buddhist and reasonably serious about it; I probably have all the literature I’m after, but if you have a local monastery or nunnery that sells, uh stuff I guess, that’d be rad?

As far as shirts go, I’m an XL. the jones family also includes ms jones, our son (almost 4 years old), and a geriatric 65lb poodle mutt

I have a nintendo switch that I play pretty frequently and a PS4 that I play very rarely

i like strange and odd computer things (like lgr oddware-type stuff)

i like interesting gadgets and electronic doodads, thingamajigs, whatits, thingamabobs, especially some gizmo, and whatchamacallits. absolutely no doohickeys.

i also like old digital cameras and old camcorders but only if they are 'interesting'. like, an odd design/style, or strange recording format, or something.

retro video games, yes im a sega kid

i have a dog, a small rat terrier mix, and a deaf cat

i have a 3d printer and enjoy printing the same thing ive printed 10 times before but this time in a different color

Actually you owe me 6! But who's countin?

I am an intricate weaver of syntax webs that are just complex enough to convince corps to sign my paycheck. I, like most of my ilk, have learned over the years that technology was a mistake.

I like art, specifically character design illustrations that are realistic with something "other". I am currently teaching myself to draw and can only make poo poo I am afraid to post at the moment.

Aesthetics I am in to:
Cyberpunk, "Hackers", Voodoo, Native American, Sci-Fi, Punk, Counter Culture, Surreal Vaporwave, Existential Dread

Art books from slick movies or animators and illustrators are extremely welcome. My office is pretty bare so art I can surround myself with is also welcome.

I used to do a lot of pen and paper roleplaying but since moving to Texas haven't really found a group that I could tolerate. I like eclipse phase, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Mutants and Masterminds, and Aberrant. Now I'd probably just use them for the art inside but who knows?

I don't play that many video games anymore but I am extremely excited for Cyberpunk 2077 because that is 1000% my poo poo.

I would love some good sci-fi books. I am currently reading The Expanse series and enjoying it a bunch. I am on Abaddon's Gate atm.

I am into DIY and home made poo poo. So if you have a skill you wanna show off I am into it.

I like movies/narratives that are funny or that are thought provoking or that will straight up gently caress with your head.

Movies I like:
Altered Carbon, Blade Runner, The Matrix, Tarantino Films, Seven Samurai, Into the Spiderverse, Annihilation, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Departed, V for Vendetta,
The Prestige, The Illusionist, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Hellboy, Dune, Big Trouble in Little China, and I need to just cut it off here because I will keep going. Hopefully that gives you a rough idea

I like some anime because I am trash. Anime I like:
Akira, Venus Wars, Bastard, Ghost in the Shell, Megalo box, Redline, Full Metal Alchemist, Howl's Moving Castle, Cowboy BeBop, Goblin Slayer, Log Horizon, and My Hero Academia

I like comics and manga but they have to be really good. At the moment I am reading My Hero Academia and Mobile Suite Gundam The Origin. Just finished volume one and gently caress the art of Gundam Origin is TOO GOOD! With regard to comics I am past my teenage power fantasy stage and am more into human stories with flawed characters trying to find meaning in something. I have read Saga which is really good but haven't really found much else interesting.

My shirt size is XXL

I like scotch, whiskey, and rum. Nothing with sugar in it.
