I will never understand peoples innate desire to be nasty. I know that maybe seems like a childish statement, but I truly don't understand how people can see something, like dedications released yesterday for TDOR and think, "You know what, I'll be nasty about this", instead of not saying anything?

It’s trans day of remembrance.
This world is so unkind.
Hate is rewarded and monetised.
Choosing to be kind to others, be kind to yourself, be tolerant, accepting and uplifting, is hard and sometimes unrewarded but so worth it.
I wouldn’t be here if my found family hadn’t done that for me.

Won't be a stream tonight unfortunately, I'm feeling much better than I was yesterday, seems this cold hasn't hit me as bad as it has others but still a bit sniffly, so going to take the chance to rest up instead.

Master System at 40: the truth about Sega’s most underrated console
Forty years ago, the Nintendo Entertainment System dominated the markets in Japan and the US. But in Europe, a technologically superior rival was making it look like an ancient relic

Giving this another bump for the week and then I'll shut up about it :D
Would be super lovely if people could give it a cheeky like or comment to help it along. I loved putting this one together/playing it.

I'm not upset by it but sometimes I really don't understand how Youtube works for pushing out videos, my Burning Rangers video did great numbers in its first few days, being one of my most popular with over 2k views.
By comparison my Wing Commander video hasn't even hit 100 yet. Bizarre :/
