Me, a fool: Cunning, classy beagle girl!
Me following train of thought: Oh, she'd be the director of the Proto-Alexander project. In the compound that ended up taking in war orphans behind enemy lines in my dream.
Me with dawning horror: oh god she probably let them in to use as test subjects. She's as bad as Shvein Hax

Ah, the joys of a brain just producing yet another Little Tail Bronx OC out of the blue after quietly simmering on a mixture of dreams, lore, and campaign details

And then further mulling on the OC before coming to the realization that she is an awful person

For #pride month you cannot say “let me get this straight”. Instead say “ok just so we’re queer”.

Poll for the binary trans guys out there:

(I know we exist)

Do you identify as trans masc and a trans man? Or one or the other? Leave comments to explain if you wish.

I identify as both but when asked I will generally say I’m a trans man or trans guy.

So. I need eight people. Eight people who are excited to bootstrap a whole new platform. Eight people who have the time and skills and willingness to pay USD$149 plus shipping to lay hands on a Sentinel 65X revision 2 developer edition board.

These things will have every known flaw fixed, but I can't guarantee they don't have flaws I don't know about yet. That's why it's a developer edition: your contributions will help make it ready for general release in quantity.

In exchange, you get your own board, fully populated and ready to program, my undying gratitude, and any help I can give getting started with Calypsi and the development environment as it grows. This is as close to getting in on the ground floor as you're going to see.

If that seems like your kind of thing, let me know here, 'cause we can't do this without you.

Edit: So you go in with eyes open, here's what remains untested:

Cartridge port
Clock port
VERA PSG sound (it's identical to the official module in schematic, so it is very likely fine!)
SD card access (ditto, plus the code for it hasn't been written! But SPI itself works fine, or the VERA wouldn't work at all!)
Controller ports (code not written yet)

So those are the places where your contributions will be most valuable -- but I'll take whatever you got, don't worry about that.

Oh, and we will have to chase down supply on the CPU, because Mouser doesn't stock it very well, but that just means we have something to do before we put in the order.

So this is a thing that is VERY VERY much nowhere near done yet, but I want to share what I've got so far. It's a list of as many retro games as I can find which had a trans person on the dev team or otherwise involved in some way, along with a quick summary of who and what they did. It's partially an attempt to counter the narrative that trans people are some New Thing that's only just showed up on the gameing scene and also society in general, which sometimes these kinds of lists can accidentally imply, and also it's just kind of a fun bit of HEY LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL SHIT TRANS PEOPLE DID. I've found over 170 games so far, with quite a lot I'm still to properly go off on.

(Edit: That's over 230 games now. Thank you SO much people who've pointed me at stuff I've missed. I'll be working on trying to play all of these and write up stuff about the ones I haven't really said anything about yet.)

Seriously, there's a whole book about this. And movies. Long ones!
