I switched servers just under a week ago so I figured I should do a proper #Introduction post. I’ve been on Mastodon since 2017 but never actually written a proper intro!
My name’s Sally Monster (she/her) and I’m a British northerner who immigrated to Southern California a bit over a decade ago because I fell for guy named Viss on Flickr after he posted a photo of a #HalfLife HeadCrab he made out of bread!
I’m a bit of a #KitchenWitch at heart; sharing #Food with people I love gives me a sense of wellbeing. I believe wholeheartedly in BenGingi’s motto, “We are all bread.”
I’m happiest when I have soil under my finger nails, I have a favorite tree, I talk to birds, I chase creepy crawlies and I love growing weird and wonderful #Plants especially #CarnivorousPlants and #SpicyPeppers.
I love it here on Mastodon. I have met so many amazing people here and I am so grateful for this community. Sending love and hugs out to all of you. 💚 🧡
@saveandraid is coming at the world on 2/23-2/25 and it is not to be missed! If #halflife is your jam and #suicideprevention is your game then join us at saveandraid.org to support save.org
This year has been full of amazing anniversaries. Still fresh off the heels of #HalfLife and #Thief's big 25, we're excited to say, HAPPY 30TH #BIRTHDAY DOOM!
Check out our news post highlighting some of the best in the #DOOM community and indulge in our joy and nostalgia for this great game.
We are going to be playing some classic DOOM #deathmatch on #Odamex today. So watch out in the list for the ‘Frag-Net’ branded server.
I'm really hoping to get some of you interested in what we're doing over at @saveandraid! 😊
It's a yearly multi-streamer event where we choose a (retro) game, play through the franchise together by handing over our save files & try to make you laugh with our incentives & milestones to raise money for #SuicidePrevention through the nonprofit organisation SAVE.
I'm part of the organising team, responsible for social media& we have a fancy website: https://saveandraid.org thanks to @teklynk! 🥰
@saveandraid We started with DOOM in 2021, played Legend of Grimrock in 2022, continued with Fallout in 2023 and for 2024 the community voted to beat #HalfLife together! 🤩
As every year, I'm super excited for the weekend in February. This year we're going to be live even longer than we were in previous years. :catPOWER:
Get ready for some fun for a good cause! ❤️ Mental health is important. Talking about it, raising awareness and supporting each other is the goal. #SaveAndRaid
An exploration of #VideoGame performances, this book merges #MediaTheory with performativity, revealing insights from Western art to digital storytelling.
One of my favorite things in #HalfLife is if you pay attention everyone fucking hates Gordon (except Barney seemingly) and it's strongly implied he's the one in the anti mass spectrometer with the sample because they don't like him.
Which is the only reason he survives (due to the HEV suit)
So, plugged in the old Logitech Pilot mouse. Tawny port opened; let's see how far i can get.
I am so glad i started #HalfLife directly with online multiplayer deathmatch. Never played the actual game back then. A very fresh retro-vintage experience that is. And a great game.
