Hi! My name is EMiSpicer. I'm a 30-something good-for-nothing video game vagabond.

I've been publishing creative work under the name Ugly Machine since 2004. These days it's mostly photography! I usually describe it as a hobby that I take very seriously. I've been at it a long time now and while I've been lucky to develop a following for that work, I can't imagine a world where it will ever pay the bills on its own. That's mostly my own doing, as I'm not really interested in being a business person and I haven't done well at turning the work I like making into a career. I really love how I approach my work though, even if I don't always have as much time for it as I'd like.

Professionally, I work in the games industry! I'm currently the producer for an RPG called She Dreams Elsewhere. I've been a part of the industry for over ten years now, and while it hasn't necessarily been easy I'm proud of what I've accomplished. Some of my notable past projects include working on Disco Elysium, co-organizing a Steam event as a part of the Melbourne International Games Week, and having co-founded the Babycastles Gallery in Manhattan.

I hope that if you decide to follow along, you'll enjoy my posts!

first time on this site, hoping to phase out my Twitter's existence (especially since it's being stalked. long story.), how are y'all? Hope to meet some new friends here. I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Connor and I like making music and stuff. I'm composing for an anime dating sim as well.

Quick introduction:

I'm a trans woman, software engineer, and furry (specifically a corsac fox.) In my spare time I read science fiction, hack on small personal software projects, work on my project car, and playing with home automation, sensing, and the quantified self. I play video games and tabletop games, though not as much as I used to, something I keep meaning to change.

As of this writing I'm in my mid-30s, living in Massachusetts near Boston with my cat Wesley and my partner Torne who is also a furry and a software engineer. I grew up in rural Massachusetts, spent a brief time in southern New Hampshire, only to return to Massachusetts a little closer to the city.

My political beliefs and identity are somewhere in the general area of Promethean Leftist (along the lines of Leigh Phillips) and the Neoliberal Project, depending on what timescale we're discussing. I'm pro-nuclear-energy, pro-urbanism, pro-growth, and pro-UBI, and most importantly, pro-humanity.

If you follow me, you can mostly expect ramblings about politics, energy, software, cars, and/or the future of our species. I have been accused by a friend of having "the personality equivalent of Brutalist Architecture," which I took as a compliment even though at the time it was not meant as such. Take from that what you will. I might also occasionally post Safe-For-Work furry artwork I've commissioned of my character here, so if you want clean pictures of a nerdy foxgirl, that'll occasionally be there as well.

Oh, and you might sometimes see pictures of my cat being adorable.

Hi! I'm Green (they/she/he), and I can post on cohost now! Idk how active I'm gonna be, but if i do post stuff, it'll mostly be my own art/writing, probably about cpu kerfuffle, or my own OCs, or whatever else I'm fixated on at that given time.

Uhhh I dont do intro posts often, so. Follow me nerd, you won't.
