Website
https://retroheart.net
The central hub for pretty much everything I do, including galleries and character pages. It'll always be the central place for updates as long as I can keep the lights on.
Blog (Mechanical Heart)
http://blog.retroheart.net
A bespoke blog separate from my main site. I'll be retiring the blog on the main site at some point as I migrate blog posts over to this subdomain. It also has an RSS feed.
Links
http://links.retroheart.net
Currently redirects to retroheart.carrd.co. I'll migrate the list over to the main site at some point, but that link will always be a running list of where else to find me.
[Update: The rest is after the cut. It may may not be current when Cohost goes read-only, so Website and Links are always your safest bets.]
Livestreams
http://live.retroheart.net
Currently on Twitch, but long-term I'd like to set up a self-operated option like Owncast.
Discord Personal Handle
retroheart '); DROP TABLE Discord;--
(It's just the part in bold)
I don't mind people reaching out to and sending me a friend request directly on Discord, and if I recognize you I'll likely accept your request. I'm pretty careful about who I accept because I used to, and still do, get a lot of spam requests, so I rely on that extra layer of familiarity before everything else. I'm also easily distracted and am really bad about starting conversation, so don't take that as a sign I don't want to talk.
Email
heycohost (at) retroheart (dot) net
I made this one for you all. If you want to reach out directly, please do. I'll keep this open until it inevitably gets scraped by bots.
Mastodon
https://mastodon.art/@RetroHeart
I'm currently on Mastodon.art and will probably stay there for the foreseeable future. I may, at some point, shift to my own self-owned instance, but if I do, I'll announce it in advance. Fun fact, you can also slap .rss on to that link above and it'll generate an RSS feed for you. It'll MOSTLY be art, but you may get my usual ramblings and other non-art topics, too.
Ko-Fi
https://ko-fi.com/retroheart
If you're feeling generous and want to support my art, Ko-Fi generally offers a better cut and is the lower-pressure option for both you and me. I'll look at adding other tiers down the line with high-quality downloads, but for now it's purely a tip jar.
Patreon
https://www.patreon.com/RetroHeart
Frankly I'd prefer people use Ko-Fi, even more so as Patreon folds to the slightest pressure from payment processors and Apple, but I'm going to offer this as a tip jar as well. I'll be looking at making more posts here, including high-quality downloads and maybe progress timelines / timelapses if the mood strikes me.
Storefronts
If you're feeling extra generous, you can consider buying something.
My Bigcartel generally has prints and stickers in whatever quantity makes sense at the time - if I get (any) sales and it becomes self-sustaining I'll probably offer more items.
My INPRNT has a handful of different prints, as well.
On Ko-Fi, I have the SFTL Starter Deck and SFTL Quiz Board for SAMMI Stream Deck. They're $3 USD a pop. I worked super hard on 'em and made them to help people elevate their streams.
Goblin
https://goblin.band/@RetroHeart
I created an account, but I'm iffy about actually using it since I already have a Mastodon.art account. That said, if you have a Goblin, you should be able to follow me from there since it's fediverse-based. (Though I'm not gonna tell anyone how they should feel about the fediverse in general.) It's aiming for being a Tumblr-like minus the current layer of slime that Tumblr has.
Bluesky
https://bsky.app/profile/retroheart.net
Fuckin'... I guess. I made a PDS and the handle is literally my website, so if one of those things implodes, my account goes with it, and that's the way I want it.
