What if anything has reading Arthurian legend taught you about Britain/ the British?

Absolutely nothing. Well, they had too many damn kings before they had one king. Landmass not that big, chill out.

Any strange controllers you're still looking for?

I’m always on the hunt for weirdos but the four big missing pieces are dogbone NES, six button genesis, six button PCE, and a dreamcast fishing controller. normal.

I’m pretty sure you’ve said that you used to be a dinosaur kid, so what’s your favorite dinosaur?

Like every child who saw Jurassic Park I was a velociraptor kid because they were so cool in that movie (some might argue too cool) but i also just liked a damn triceratops. Probably blame Land Before Time. Lots of dino media in my youth.

What Star Trek book would you like to see adapted into the 70s animated Star Trek style.

Like the animated series???? None of them is cheating so… Probably Q-Squared the Q/Trelane crossover.

Favorite fictional lawyer?

There's a guy in Times Square who use to pop their pet rat halfway into their mouth for tips. My question is- A rat is going in your mouth, do you want it going head or tail first?

I feel like this is probably inhumane to do to an animal so they should stop? But I'm not a coward. Head first. Bleh.

Any specific snack or beverage you've been big into lately, or something you miss if you've had a restricted diet with all the medical stuff as of late?

The one I miss is just raw broccoli florets with ranch. Not gonna be having those anytime soon. In terms of what I've been into lately, lots of beach plum lacroix

Whats the last new recipe you tried? How did it go?

I've not been cooking very ambitiously since being in the hospital, so I honestly can't remember the last new recipe I tried, sorry. It was probably in June, and who can remember that long ago. (I'm also famously terrible at saving recipes after I make them)

If you could get any group of your friends together, what would be the top thing you would like to do with them? Assume logistics (travel, lodging, etc) is covered

Probably just like hang out talking, preferably over dinner lol. My ambitions are modest.

How do you feel about pinball?

It's cool! I haven't played that much pinball irl, the odd pizza parlor sort of thing when I was young. I do like pinball games tho, that's been my main in to the genre.

Do you prefer to play rhythm games with keysounds on or off?

Mysterious Listener · 3mo

What are some things you’ve been wanting to watch/play/read but haven’t had time for yet?

Oh geez like everything ever? But I’ll give one each. Watch: The Twilight Zone. Read: The Story of a New Name. Play: Xenogears.

What are your favorite bespoke video game assessories that you have used?

The sound voltex controller, the DS spinner for Space Invaders Extreme, the taiko drums.

what do you like about people?

Two things: I like that people can just be kind for no real reason. That's a keeper. Second, I like that people can just have thoughts that I would never think. Ideas, aesthetics, connections, whatever. It's good to be surprised by something outside myself.

So I was reading some 18c black letter typeface the other day and it hit me that I don't remember if you or Jackson said if you used easy read or default or full historical (long s and digraphs) on Pentiment? I certainly don't fault anyone for useing easy read. (Both for accessibility issues as well as just people with no experience with paleography and historic typeface who don't want to start now. ) Sorry if you covered it. Maybe I just need to listen to the episode again.

Jackson wasn't even on the Pentiment episode of JU because they haven't played it so lol that was definitely me, I used the default I didn't even know the full historical was an option! that's neat.
