Ooh boy. Jig's up, ain't it? Well, the closeted cat's out of the bag now...
Anyways, hello! My name is pobert-eii. That's lowercase, mind you. Pronouns are he/him.
I am a chiptune arranger/composer who mainly deals with PSGs and FM chips. At one point, I used to draw., but
not really now? I fucking LOVE comics, but more specifically the works of Ernie Bushmiller. That man is a unsung hero of surreal gags and knew how to make a damn
COMIC.
I am a long-time veteran/oldbie of the SRB2 community, with a history that dates all the way back to 2013. To say that I've "seen some shit" is a understatement.
SO SIDDOWN SONNY, UNCLE MEL'S GONNA TELL YOU SOME WAR STORIES!
I first came across SRB2 in the ancient days of 2009 when I came across a (by today's standards) shitty Tails Doll .wad video, where I downloaded it and began my first ever playthrough... where I had trouble with THZ1 because of those fucking purple pools. God, I've always hated those things.
I didn't
really start getting into the scene until about 2012-ish and later October 2013, where at a insanely young age I began netgaming. I used to be known back then as...
Bun.
That era... WAS AN TOXIC INFLUENCE TO MY MINDSET HAHAHA. It was a different time back then, where slopes were hailed as "the one thing that can't happen" and Mystic Realm and Tortured Planet were tolerated since that was literally all people could make at the time.
I was around to witness the start of 2.1 and much of the questionable choices made by "The Old Guard" (the original admin team), and I witnessed much of this community grow and create some of the most outlandish and creative shit you could possibly imagine (believe it or not, SUGOI was
huge for its time). I once considered getting into the modding scene, but The Old Guard was INCREDIBLY strict at the time.
I should probably get back to it, but better late than never I guess...
Around 2017 - 2021 though, I kinda began neglecting my involvement in the SRB2 scene. I was around fully to witness the 2.2 launch and Kart release, sure, but I wasn't REALLY getting into the scene as much as I used to. The factors are very complex involving personal drama, LGBT identity issues, The Old Guard being even
more bitter, but the point is I'm pretty much back now. I haven't
really been checking out the more recent mods with much more freedom with the Old Guard gone, but maybe I will sometime. I shall look forward to what this community has to offer now!
(psst, this new forum setup is absolutely kickass. keep it up!)
