Once upon a time I was Mr. MAGFest. Then I did a chiptune NIN tribute.
Now I live in a van down by a river, still write chiptunes, run Bloop Museum.
Someday I'll finish a synthesizer I'm building and ditch meat.

I need a hail mary or whatever.
This fundraiser — so I can operate a computer & game museum in a building all its own — is 2/3 from being done.
I can start moving when it hits 80%. Deadline: 1mo.
Not asking any one person for 40 grand, but 80 people with $500? That's doable.
Please spread this.

We've crossed another milestone - $160K!
Thank you to everyone donating to our building campaign - we can put an offer in on the one we've selected in just $40K.

Quick update: We hit 200K today, and I'm retaining a lawyer and contacting the real estate broker.
THANK YOU to all who have supported this journey. I know a fair number of our supporters are here.

You know you're busy moving a computer museum when other people have to remind you that it's #BandcampFriday
Anyway, inversephase.bandcamp.com and hopefully I'll get your order out soon if it's physical, please be patient as I drive back and forth and pack/unpack my things

@havocosiris.bsky.social hey, it hits a little weird that you're making people-forward posts that, for example, suggest that AI determining care is bad, but then you have an AI header. My vote is for a new header from one of your fans

We're so busy packing trucks, moving, and unpacking, that we don't have time for an email update quite yet - but here's a shot of the most recent truck where we loaded up a bunch of fixtures from a closed-down Joann. Hope this will hold you over!

Pouring some bubbles and bobbles out for Pete Clarke tonight. Thanks for the tunes.
Sad to hear the news that videogame musician Pete Clarke passed away today after a long illness. He worked for Ocean Software and Software Creations in Manchester during the early/mid 80s and created music for the BBC Micro and C64. RIP Pete.

Yo! Tomorrow's #BandcampFriday. I don't have anything new, but if there's a thing you don't have from @bandcamp.com of mine already, it'd mean a lot if you try something new! I'll be spending Friday moving part of @bloopmuseum.bsky.social to its new spot, where I have more room to work on new music.

Did you know that over one third of Bloop's collection is boxless?
This means two things:
- We will definitely take your loose game or hardware item.
- We will definitely take your empty box or orphaned manual.
Let us know if you have either, and we'll reunite it. We are variant-aware!

The Substack app apparently push alert promoted a Nazi newsletter to several users. Users have complained about it on Substack Notes but the company hasn’t responded. Generally push alert promos are for content a user is likely to interact with

Recent events in the payment processing world make it time for another reminder that the US Bank Secrecy Act forcibly deputizes banks into a law enforcement role. So don't tell your financial institution anything you wouldn't tell the cops.

Anyone got one we can borrow before we call and rent one instead?
