Hello everyone, thank you for having me.
I am from Portugal, a tiny rectangle near Spain.
Nothing, to me, is in a near-blank state. The possibilities of a new start are (also) determined by those who spearhead its continuation. To see what @Carl & company are about to do is enticing enough; even more it is to understand and experience the mythos turned into fruition.
About this community, I hope to see the equal elevating the equal. A digital place where respect and understanding run amok. A healthy community where ideas flow with no distinction between sharing and collecting.
The Spectrum 128K still is that piece of tech. It was my first computer when I didn’t know what a computer was, it was my gateway to videogames, starting to walk digitally barely after I learned how to do the real left-right routine. I don’t know if that opened the “technological compartment” within my brain, but the chase of the Load”” thrill was nothing short of a magical trick at the time.
A delight when the game loaded, to grasp with the concept of patience when it didn’t. The jaw dropped on both occasions.
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment, remember
We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion
That’s a quote from a song called “Parabola” by Tool. From my teen years to my current years, it’s a band that plays close to the bone. Art through thick and thin.
The iPhone 4S. Not guided by specs, but by the overall feeling and emotion; it showed me not just what you can achieve with tech, but how you can feel while doing it.
Looking forward to seeing everyone around.
Cheers,
Cheetosdust
PS: @Melissa TMNT in co-op tested a lot of friendships and forged so many more. While playing that game, we were all strategists like Sun Tzu in 16-bits.
PS2: @Tamim anything with Josh Homme is incredible. “Spinning in Daffodils", for example, is a shortcut to the repeat section on Spotify. Love that you mentioned Them Crooked Vultures.
