4 years and 40 minutes ago, I joined Mastodon.
I recently created an account on mastodon.technology and might move there soon (or elsewhere if you have a better idea). Unfortunately, none of the people I follow are particularly concentrated on any instance, and this time I'm not particularly friends with any big-instance admins.

Now that that's official, I should do a re-#introductions:
Hi, I'm Spencer! I do a bunch of things; often with programming, sometimes with games, and almost always on a computer. Check my website for some of that. On Mastodon, I'm known for my bots @doctormccoy and @domainhacker, an emoji importer script, the little 🗨️ in the corner of Glitchsoc statuses, for being a geometric shape, and for the dont_at_me emoji.

Hi. I made a game (finally). Play it if you'd like:

It should only take a minute or two, and should run in your browser or on your phone.

US politics
Here are some of my political beliefs, in no particular order:
• De-fund the military
• End war
• De-militarize the police force
• Make the top tax bracket 100%
• Fund public schools
• Ban all guns
• Ban bump stocks
• Ban extended mags
• Ban semiauto
• Ban rifles
• Eliminate the death penalty
• Stop making games with guns in them
there are lots of others but these are the non-obvious ones

Apropos of nothing, if you ever need a spare programmer or some programming help, especially for a game or game-related thing, let me know. I've used Unity, C, JS, Python, Java, and UE4, but I'm also quick to learn.

Contact methods pinned post
I'm not giving my phone number to anyone I haven't met in person, but if you need something more or less immediate than Mastodon, you can try my same username on Twitter, Reddit, FB Messenger, Gmail, cybre.space, and maybe others.

I don't have any time for my hobbies because it's all taken up by the other hobbies 😭

weirder.earth meta, context, long thread
I'm a weirder.earth mod, and I was part of the decision to defederate with elekk, monads, and myasstodon. this is an open message to weirder.earth users who are wondering what the heck is going on.
this decision was not made lightly. but if you're somewhat new to the fedi, or just have not been in the loop for whatever reason, I'm sure it does seem to have come out of nowhere. here's some backstory (spoiler: I will not name specific offenders).
I made a speedrunning discovery today and ngl I’m kinda hype
I hate that I actually like Earl Grey because people are gonna assume it’s a Star Wars reference
I have very little experience in sound design, but I have learned that you really need to exaggerate.
layer in 10 different sfx. boost the bass. need a balloon pop? use a firecracker. strong breeze? tornado.
Since starting work-from-home, I didn't have a means to make coffee, so I switched to tea. But, someone recently bought me a french press, and… I might just be addicted again.

On a lighter note than most of what I post, Pokémon lovers, look at this!

Now, imagine more people trying their hand at this kind of stuff, making even more video games accessible!

I made uhh, Minecraft Indev? Something like that. #ldjam https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/metal-miner
Ok, didn't get as far as I would have liked, but here's the submission: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/within-yourself #LDJAM
(Of course, this means I will have to design puzzles. which I am… not good at)
The theme for Ludum Dare #LDJAM 48 is "Deeper and deeper"
I've been informed that, while Google employees are not allowed to incorporate AGPL code into Google products, they are not even allowed to *look* at WTFPL code, *even on personal time*. So if you really want to scare away corpos, that option has been proven.
