Greetings, Fediverse! Let me make an #introduction - I'm Emily, a recently out #trans girl, #lgbtq advocate, and giant #tech nerd.
This is a personal account, but since 2017 I've been working at #linustechtips as a writer and occasional host. I'm most well-known for #Linux and #retrogaming / #retrocomputing content, but my interests can be very broad - Especially with stuff I know nothing about!
Tech can be fun and tech can be a tool, and to that end, I advocate using (and breaking) every platform and learning about the days of computers past. Between work and home, I currently daily drive #Linux and #Windows in roughly equal measure.
I was a #sega kid, so that probably had something to do with that philosophy... And my fondness for FM synth.
@emilyyoung good to see you here!!!
@Phosphorshy@octodon.social@emilyyoung Welcome, we're glad to have you!
@tj@emilyyoung welcome to tech.lgbt (and the fediverse at large)!

@emilyyoung@tech.lgbt Emily! Welcome to the fediverse! Have been a fan of you being part of LTT for a long time, very excited to see you here ^-^ I hope you find yourself comfortable here and find lots of cool people and topics to follow!

@emilyyoung Welcome! I hope you feel more welcome here than many people on the Bad Place!
@pickleshanks Thank you! It certainly seems that way so far!
Sierra @SierraDelacroix@fandom.garden@emilyyoung What is it about us Sega kids that makes us such nerds? I was part of the nascent Sonic community in the early 2000s and the hacking scene was so involved!
@SierraDelacroix ayyy that's where I spent a lot of my early internet days in the early 2000s too. I still remember people getting stoked to try the Sonic Adventure 2 demo included with Phantasy Star Online
@emilyyoung @SierraDelacroix SA2 may or may not have formed 90% of my personality (and still does lmao)
Sierra @SierraDelacroix@fandom.garden@lightning The amount of times I quote SA2 in a given day would lead me to believe I'm in a similar boat, haha
Sierra @SierraDelacroix@fandom.garden@emilyyoung Yeah!! I remember all the speculation about Shadow, excitement that "Dark Side" meant we got to play as Eggman... meanwhile the Sonic Stuff Research Group was hacking away at ROMs. It was an exciting time!
@emilyyoung Welcome! Good to have you here :]
@emilyyoung Great to find you here!

Welcome to the Fediverse! Out of curiosity, what client are you using?
@mmportal On iOS I'm using Ivory, the interface is quite familiar since I used Tweetbot for Twitter previously. On desktop right now I'm just using the web UI for the instance
@emilyyoung Welcome to the Fediverse!
@emilyyoung Thanks a lot for finally giving me the push I needed to make an account here!
@Joy@chillpeep.zone@emilyyoung Welcome to the Fediverse Emily

@emilyyoung So, so, so welcome on Mastodon, Emily!
I'm incredibly honoured to have seen @osnews (the site I run) pop up at least twice in the videos you made for LTT!
Welcome Emily
As a watcher of LTT for many years, I've always enjoyed the videos you hosted and the knowledge you shared with viewers.
I look forward to you hopefully hosting more in the future.
As a fellow gamer since I was a toddler... I've played on pong machines, Atari 2600, Spectrum 48K, Commodore 64, Atari St and Commodore Amiga, SNES, Megadrive, PS1, Xbox, PS2, Wii... but PC gaming has been my main home for 30yrs now.
@anomnomnomaly Ahh, I wish I'd grown up with the 8-bit micros... Sadly I didn't get a PC until the Pentium era, but I did start my gaming life with a Master System and it's tough to think of a life without
@emilyyoung @anomnomnomaly It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The 8-bit times:)
Welcome to this little corner of the internets, hope you have a lovely time.
Worked at a couple of places where I had access to a PC and we could use them out of hours. Started with a 386, then a 486. My first home PC was a Pentium 200mhz, followed by a PII 350... remember those SlotA CPU's. After that I've built my own for over 20yrs now.
Worked for a few software companies over the years, built websites, designed maps for a couple of games.
