hey all the name's hazel (or hazelnut) they/them, queer and neurodivergent, coffee lover and the biggest Sonic the Hedgehog nerd you've ever met

  • dude's a Brave shill. ignore, block and move on.

  • a chrome reskin, cryptominer and the CEO's an anti-LGBT fascist. no thanks.

  • 🤦‍♀️ It's over, boys, the Twitanic has sunk

  • fuck you, Elon. open source devs will bypass this shit in about a week.

  • Piped: The Youtube Experience You've Been Waiting For

  • main instance is being rate limited - basically Google likes to go 'fuck you' and kill the main instance for a few days. just switch to a smaller instance and you'll be good

  • Piped: The Youtube Experience You've Been Waiting For

  • can definitely recommend this, but just a head's up - Google has a habit of hitting the main instance with rate limiting, which causes videos to not load until it gets fixed. but thankfully Piped has multiple instances, so if the main one is down, you can keep watching.

  • How much of your life have you degoogled?

  • pretty effectively!

    I use a Searx instance for searching (with the engine it uses set to DDG), Tutanota for email and Piped/Invidious and Libretube for videos. meanwhile on both my phone and tablet I've used ADB to purge all of Google's malware, and Play Services is outright disabled on my tablet lmao (and contrary to what one might think, the only thing it impacts is I don't get app notifications)

    and then I use Aurora Store to update Twitch and Discord, and I use alternatives from F-Droid for stuff like the calendar

  • YouTube confirms 3-strike policy for blocking ads

  • lmao fuck right off Google. there are a million open source alternatives out there that still let me watch videos, nor do I (nor will I) have an account with you clowns.

  • Great Cyberpunk Games

  • honestly? Mirror's Edge Catalyst. fantastic soundtrack, aesthetic, and a scary look into a potential future where society is dominated by the corporations. give it a look if you haven't; it's super underrated imo

  • June Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Map

  • this is honestly incredibly heartbreaking. I'm glad MA is safe but holy hell.

    (sidenote: the transphobes have found this post and are trying to stir up their hate. be sure to do your duty and block, report and move on)

  • June Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Map

  • imagine being this ignorant

    oh lmao. should've guessed from your other comment that you're just an alt-right asshole. enjoy the block and report <3

  • WSJ News Exclusive | Google’s YouTube Is Testing an Online-Games Offering

  • imo that's too optimistic lmao. try 3 months.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • best series hands down

    and if you're looking to get into the games, I highly recommend Sonic 1 Forever, Sonic 2 Absolute and Angel Island Revisited. they're all fan-made widescreen remasters with a bunch of bells and whistles that make the experience so much better, and unlike the...questionable compilation that is Sonic Origins, are completely free.

    alternatively if you're just after the games themselves without all of that, you can easily download either Retroarch or Kega and just emulate them. either way you're gonna enjoy it!

  • American Neo-Nazi Leader found dead after trying to shut down Drag Queen Story Hour | Boing Boing

  • now if only the rest of them would follow his example

  • Request for Couch Co-Op Games on Switch

  • Sonic Mania has co-op! either you can take the lead as Sonic with your son as Tails, or vise versa! it's a great game, and a great introduction to the Sonic series
