This screenshot is highlighting my account's appearance on a list entitled "AI Haters", made by some dingdong calling themself "anti-anti-AI". The list's descriptions states: "Subscribes to anti-AI blocklists or otherwise seems poorly disposed for productive conversations." Abso. Fucking. Lutely.

2 official statements from the IFPA. The first is from the IFPA FAQ, and it states in part "If certain players are prohibited from playing based on age, gender, skill or personal reasons, those results will not be counted." The second is from the IFPA's official statement on the OBX incident and says "On Friday, November 7th, transgender members of our pinball community were subjected to an act of discrimination while attempting to participate in the OBX Flippers Arcade Fall Pinball Bash. [...] As a result of this act of discrimination, members of the impacted community, rightfully prioritizing their own safety and well-being, did not participate in the event."

It is with great sadness that I must withdraw from the IFPA Pinball State Championship for Virginia. I cannot in good conscience participate in a competition featuring the Harry Potter game. I worked hard all year and finished as the #5 seed in the state, earning a first-round bye. Though not on the same level yet as a few of the top contenders, I believe I had a non-zero chance of winning this year. Qualifying and competing well there was my overarching pinball goal for all of 2025. I say this not to brag, but to hopefully convey that this event was important to me. JK Rowling fully owns the Harry Potter IP, wields total creative control over its content, and earns massive royalties from every licensed product. She has also made it her very public life's work on a daily basis to to spread bigotry, and attack and materially harm an extremely vulnerable class of people. I don't want to play a game that directly funds the amplification of the harm she funnels her billions into perpetuating. So I'm not gonna. I know some people will find the above statement baffling or humorous, and some will gleefully mock or ridicule me for this decision. They will say I'm being hypocritical, since I do play games designed by [Known Bad Person], or with a backglass featuring [Actor Who Also Sucks]. And then in the next breath, they'll accuse me of unfairly seeking total perfect purity, insisting on unrealistic, impossible standards (without realizing that the first point logically negates the second). I hope it's obvious to most, but I don't demand purity. I do indeed participate in society -- you are very smart. But that doesn't mean standards shouldn't exist. For myself, I have to set the bar somewhere. And here it is. It's not even a high bar. It's a very, very low bar -- to not want to spent my leisure time having fun in a world (under glass) created by one of the most high-profile bigots on the planet right now. This is not a decision I took lightly. When I…

A graph showing a number remaining flat for several weeks and then rising from 530 to 545. However, since the range of the y-axis starts at 525 and ends at 545, it makes the jump look astronomical. This is exacerbated by the bottom y label being “530” while the topmost label is, for some insane reason, “545.000”.

Two snippets from official IFPA statements. The first is from the IFPA Website FAQ and reads (in part) "If certain players are prohibited from playing based on age, gender, skill, or personal reasons, those results will not be counted." The second is from the IFPA Official Statement regarding the OBX Pinball Tournament at Flippers and reads "On Friday, November 7th, transgender members of our pinball community were subjected to an act of discrimination while attempting to participate in the OBX Flippers Arcade Fall Pinball Bash. [...] As a result of this act of discrimination, members of the impacted community, rightfully prioritizing their own safety and well-being, did not participate in the event." The two relevant statements are circled in red by me for emphasis.

Not the end product, but a work in progress - a crypto mining rig made of 5 Radeon Vega56 graphics cards. It would eventually use 8 cards, and have a secondary system as well. Can’t find photos of that, though. It was a long time ago.
