Kaito / Katie Sinclaire @KS@is.a.qute.dog

so I figured out why I couldn't connect to my server during the outage, despite the fact that I don't use Cloudflare at all

... DigitalOcean's nameservers *do* use Cloudflare, sigh

Check the date on that last RT. That's a _year and a half ago_.

The black striped trans flag is older than you think and has connotations that you're not thinking of, so maybe _don't_ shit on nonbinary people for bringing them up to you, thanks.

you know that trans flag with the black stripe?

did you know that white stripe is for enbies like me?

did you know an enbyphobic trans woman on a now dead instance popularised the black stripe flag?

yeah

the black stripe erases enbies

Today's gender: yes

(I don't know how to describe it but I'm using they/them pronouns for myself, which is unusual)

Further screenshots: Various levels exclusive to Tyrian 2000.

From first to last, these images are: The title screen, the Timed Battle mode that Tyrian 2000 introduced, shopping for ships including some Tyrian 2000 specific ones, and the slightly revised weapon purchasing screen.

So, I've spent the last few days using all the knowledge I've learned working with ArcTyr to fork OpenTyrian (again...) and finally add *proper* Tyrian 2000 support.

The source code is publicly available: github.com/KScl/opentyrian2000

No builds currently because I don't have an environment set up to build for Windows.

I guess I'm back to doing Tyrian dev stuff huh

Internet is still out, by the way. Almost eight hours later.

Discord's new "Inbox" feature is worse than useless, it's showing me new messages sent by users I've blocked.

I don't want a name change for strictly gender-related reasons, but thanks to associations that make me super uncomfortable I have zero desire to continue using it in the long term

Kaito Sinclaire is a really good, really fitting name for myself but I want a degree of separation from *me* and *my character*

Maybe I should still keep the Sinclaire last name regardless of what I do

Laying in bed attempting to sleep, and instead tossing about while my mind goes over "what do I do with my real name" yet again
