That's the second chocolate cupcake I've received for my birthday, the first one being IRL from my family. Yay, thanks!

Probably the most fun birthday of my life, as the Universal trip I mentioned earlier was an early present from my parents.
In celebration of this occasion, let's look at how I celebrated my birthday when I was still a Scratcher, in chronological order...
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/30400446/
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/83038780/
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/125921066/
There's probably a few in between, but I can't remember them... enjoy!

I’ve been away, so I didn’t see this when it was actually your birthday. Hope it was good fun! Have some ginger cake!

Oooo, that's a nice early present!
Ah, Scratch... I have a few books on it, but was never able to use it because of my PC not having Flash. -
Yeah, Scratch is a good introductory programming language... by

Scratch is insanely primitive, and I never jad much fun with it. OTOH, the Scratch Advanced Topics board is fscking magic if you're a kid who wants to get into math and technical subjects, full of shiny wizardry and general cleverness and friendliness.
A fun thing I learned a few years back is that the hugely prolific AT member Hardmath123 is actually still on the web He's a student at Stanford these days, and I found some fun shinies on his Github. -
That makes sense, as you were in the nerd community. by

Whereas I was with all the... er...
Plort Wiki's page on "Sk'ratsh" was written entirely by me. You should check it out, it's a good summary of all the stuff I had to deal with.

Soo... Jerks who are overly protective of their IP, assumptions they're the center of the universe, the "those who have left should be treated like they're dead" mentality, and an aversion to any sort of conflict.
What is the "executions month" thing?
Also, it's weird to see the whole forbidding of mentioning other places you can go if you want to be challenged more thing, because, of course, AT was all about being challenged more, whether by hacking Scratch itself or by working on Something Completely Different. -
Execution Month/Exile Month is Pride Month. by

I have a hunch that more people get banned during then because all the Scratch Team-sponsored LGBT stuff makes those who are even mildly homophobic immediately come out of the woodworks so they can get banned or at least one step closer to being banned. It wouldn't be so bad if the folks affected didn't include all the little kids who don't yet understand how gender and sexuality works and make mistakes that get overreacted to by Scratch's LGBT+s and get the kids reported. (By the way, the whole of the LGBT+ people on the Board get my thanks for being so mature and such a breath of fresh air compared to Scratch.)
And yes, scratch.mit.edu's Community Guidelines actually do prohibit linking to other websites. But nobody enforces that. Except the time I got reported for asking a friend to get on Flockmod with me.

Yey! To another year!
Take something fun. And... since I don't know what would be fun, have a grab-bag of Free Wolfenstein stuff!
-Here's The Digital Antiquarian's article on the original Castle Wolfenstein. It also contains a link to that original game, which works if you have an apple ii emulator. If you don't, here's the 1984 DOS version at the Internet Archive
-If that's not your thing, check out WolfenDoom: Blade of Agony, assuming you haven't already. I know that's not a safe assumption, but hey, it could be fun.
That's... uh... honestly all I've got. Dangit, I don't know Wolf as well as I know Doom... -
Thanks, Thoth! by

I'd actually heard about WolfenDoom before, as Sigma64 (the guy I met on Scratch who I told you about earlier) mentioned it while he was introducing me to more of the fandom. WolfenDoom itself is a bit too dark for me, though. There's a reason why I won't play anything later than the Wolf 3D era.
'Fit makes you feel any better, I do know a little bit about Doom. I watch Aquarius199's videos about terrible Doom WADs from time to time, do you watch him? Thanks to his channel, I know what a Terry Trap is! :D
-Twistey
P.S. I have a theory that if said in a German accent, "Thoth" would sound like "sauce." Think about that the next time you think about Wolfenstein... :D -

- If you're wondering who the ginger character is, that's my old Scratch avatar. (Or Amazonite, my old Steven Universe sona, in the segment in the comment simulator where she's dancing to "Rasputin" with Peridot.) If you're wondering who the guy in the hoodie is, that's Teenage!Palpatine, a really old OC from the beginnings of my Scratch career. If you're wondering who the guy in the suit is, he's from an actually masterfully made horror game on Scratch that I was a fangirl of at the time.
2. I just now watched the comment simulator (2nd link), and I'd have to say both cringe warning, edge warning, and jumpscare-ish warning. If you want to avoid the jumpscare-ish (it's a Photoshop Flowey laugh), stop at the comment talking about "Team Angel" from an RP I was in. If you want to avoid the edge, stop when the music changes to the Pirate Invasion theme from Terraria. If you want to avoid the cringe, only click on the third link, because that one is just a cake generator.
