this photograph was taken by me while standing on the feed arm of the world's largest fully steerable radio telescope a couple months ago

digital cameras are not allowed anywhere near the telescope due to the interference electronic devices cause with highly sensitive radio astronomy equipment, let alone actually on the telescope itself.

taken with a minolta x-9

see that little white box up near the top? the first photo was taken from the deck on top of that box

flareon and jolteon are SO cute together

all of my friends are playing first person shooters and real time strategy games and just. these big intimidating grown up games
meanwhile i'm out here roleplaying a 10 year old in 2006 😭

i'm playing a city builder and also super metroid what does that make me

ohh i was sorta putting it in the strategy game category in my head ehehe. and Metroid's always been on the more serious, "hardcore" end of the metroidvania spectrum for me
very sophisticated gaming glaceon patpatpat

It is unclear what benefits would even be gained if they succeed in playing games on 86box instead of dosbox

this is probably fine, right

I won. I beat the computer
