I bought an old CRT TV online and it arrived broken. ;w; The LED blinks 4 times. It doesn't turn on. I hope I can get my money back, but I also feel sorry for the seller. Surely it broke during transport.

This evening I'm having a big fat anxiety attack and I should just log off. ;w; I don't feel great. I should log off, make a tea, listen to some music or watch a let's play to distract myself. I'm sorry for being weird. Tomorrow I'll be better again. 🦊

I'm having a real hard time getting back into any of my online social media places. I've been away for so long dealing with health problems. Now my social anxiety makes me worry people will be mad that I was gone and didn't reply for so long. I'm just scared and stuck. Unable to talk to anyone. :/

I disappear from online spaces often because of poor health, anxiety and autism related exhaustion. Each time I find it difficult to come back. I'm anxious that people I haven't replied to will be mad. Always the same loop. :/ I even posted random sh*t on Bsky. But I'm too scared to read replies.

I wish the stupid war in Ukraine could end. Seeing UKR soldiers sending food supplies and plushies to children trapped in Oleshky really touched me. That's so sad. From a safe distance it's hard to understand what these people go through.

I saw Wario's Woods SNES in the store as a kid and wanted it because it had Wario on the box. 🦊 I thought it was a platformer. My mother said no, it's too expensive, and I was a bit sad. But in hindsight I would've been mega disappointed. It's just a lame puzzle game. You don't even play as Wario.

After breakfast, life suddenly feels a whole lot better. 🦊🧡 Why am I always so grumpy before breakfast? I don't know, but food reliably fixes it.

I still think I must be secretly a werewolf because I always feel groggy shortly before a full moon. 🐺 There's also the daylight saving stuff. I'll never get used to it and I'll keep cursing the person who invented it. :P Now it's back to normal time for half a year. Hooray, I guess.

People calling themselves "AI prompt engineers" can f*ck right off. Typing sh*t into a textbox to make the AI spit out slop isn't a profession. It's just lazy.

BioWare is closing down :/ Neverwinter Nights was one of the first PC RPGs I ever played. I have good memories of that. The game industry is a shitshow in recent years...

I was wondering why so many websites were offline this morning. Turns out it's because of two newly discovered critical PHP code injection vulnerabilities. Site administrators are rushing to get their websites updated before hackers find a way to get access.

No more back pain since we fixed the bed. 🦊 Maybe this is the fantastic beginning of a new Ren. 🧡 I want to be productive again, work on silly stuff, play videogames, get better at drawing and socialise and find friends. I couldn't do anything for months because of health problems and low energy.

I wish the email hack could be used to finally ban the AfD party in Germany. 🦊 I want to live in a hate-free world. These people are basing their entire political concept around hate, scapegoating migrants and minorities, fearmongering and selling us out to Russia. I think they are very dangerous.

A forest walk on a rainy autumn day feels ethereal. I love it. 🦊🍂 Smells of mushrooms and wet leaves. I slept wonderfully well in my fixed bed too. I feel like new. No back pain today. 🧡

My bed was broken this whole time and I didn't know. 🦊 I think it was a big factor in my struggles with back pain. I have a difficult relationship with my father. But today he visited and fixed my broken bed. I couldn't have done it alone. We made our peace, too. Maybe my health will improve now.

Hiya, I'm Ren! 🦊 🏳️‍🌈 I'm a dorky furry who loves old videogames. Especially Nintendo and handhelds old & modern. I'm autistic and also love languages, photography, cooking, hiking, fantasy novels, horror movies, folk, prog & electronic music. I like old computers, cassette decks, VCRs & turntables.

Favourite games/series: Mario, Zelda, Rayman, Banjo-Kazooie, Star Fox, Resident Evil, Chrono Trigger, Gothic, Shadow Man, Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Command & Conquer, Advance Wars I like German electronic bands Kraftwerk & Tangerine Dream. I collect folk music from England, Scotland & Ireland. 🦊🎵

The German word "Schmetterling" has Slavic roots. It refers to smetana (sour cream) and goes back to an old folklore belief that butterflies are attracted by the smell of dairy products. Old German dialect words for butterfly are "Milchdieb" (milk thief) and "Buttervogel" (butter bird). 🦋

I've been working on this for over a year: I'm remaking all of Ocarina of Time's prerenders in 3D, trying to match the N64 style rather than the 3DS one. The provisional name is OoT unJPEG. It will be distributed as both a romhack that runs on real N64 hardware and a mod for Zelda 64 Recompiled.

It's pumpkin season, woohoo. 🦊🧡🎃 This is a Hokkaido squash. I made soup from it today, it's wonderful and lasts me for 3 days. The nice thing about Hokkaido squash is that it doesn't have to be peeled before cooking.

Becoming a furry helped me with finding friends and socialising. I'm autistic, so I always had a difficult time with this. I think many furries accept you even if you're a bit shy and socially awkward. The furries I talk to are a bit nerdy too, so I found a hobby / community where I feel welcome. 🦊

The good vibes from drawing and enjoying silly fuzzy creatures have a positive effect on my mental health. It helps me get away from irl stress. 🦊 Having the furry community as a safe space where you can be open about your sexuality / gender without anyone judging you or making fun of it helps too.

I feel really great today 🦊💚 I went through a shitty time recently with health problems and moodyness but it seems I'm finally stable again. If anyone here struggles with back problems or depression try going on walks. Make it a daily routine. Walking in the countryside helps me feel a lot better.

I just read an article saying British prime minister Andy Burnham would like to have the UK rejoin the European Union. I'd be very happy if it happens. 🦊 As folk music & synthpop enthusiast I ordered vinyl, CDs and tapes from the UK all the time. Brexit made it impossible to do so because of fees.

A nice forest walk and a great day overall. 🦊💚 It's the first time that my back isn't hurting and I can fully breathe and I had so much more energy than all these past months. I feel amazing.

I often look awkward to other people. Because I'm autistic. It sucks, I can't change it. But I'm harmless. I don't hurt anyone. I'm just awkward. On my forest walk today a mother called her young children back when she saw me going down the path where they played. It made me feel a bit shitty. :/

I think there's a relatively high number of neurodivergent folks in the furry community. And that's why furries working in demanding jobs such as pilots, train conductors, IT specialists, etc. are quite common. They're passionate about what they do and they do a great job. 🦊

I woke up feeling great! 🦊🧡 Not hurting, not exhausted. I can breathe, I can move. I actually feel like a real person again. Today will be nice! After breakfast I'll go on a walk.

I fixed my back pain 🦊🧡 By standing upright, knees bending slightly, and touching the back of my foot with my hand. It fixed my blockade. I'll remember how to do this for the future. Note: My back problems are in the chest / shoulder. Not in the lower regions. I also have an elongated xiphoid. :P

Hello my friends and followers, I'm sorry for not replying to your comments or posting much. I'm struggling with a back pain since a few days. I can barely move or sit at the PC. :/ I'll try to get better. I'll be back and answer your comments when I feel better again. See you all soon, ~Ren 🦊🧡

I cooked Älplermagronen. The Swiss version of Mac and Cheese. 🦊💛🧀 Made with pasta, cream, cheese and onions. You can also add potatoes if you like. This easy and filling meal was traditionally eaten by the herdsmen in the Alps since Italian workers brought pasta to Switzerland in the 19th century.

There was a short time when I had a bat-eared fox sona named Mirabelle. 🦊 But people said I shouldn't be using an animal not native to my region, so I stopped using them. The artwork was made by lura. My friend Julie/Spring gifted it to me.

A friend asked me what a furry is. :P We're fans of anthropomorphic animal characters. Animals with human traits. Many have a fursona, a personal character they identify with. Furries enjoy and create art, costumes, stories etc. based around this. For me it's a form of escapism from real life. 🦊
