Mmmmm.... Radiation.

the camo wall is from when I was a kid. I painted it with my dad, and even though it doesn't really fit me anymore, I don't want to paint over it because I liked doing it.
Edit: also no, the steam deck is not powering the monitor. I put it there because I liked the juxtaposition between the 90s CRT and 2023 OLED steam deck. It's an old 2200+ AMD sempron. Also yes I know it's a PC monitor, not a TV. It's still a CRT, hush.
Edit 2: after fighting with spoilers, I give up.
- FYI, spoilers work differently, both in terms of markup and rendering, than they did on R*****. (It's unfortunate; I liked the old way better.)

  I'm using sync, that's just how it's spoilering stuff, thanks for the heads-up though. shrug
  
  Yeah, that must be leftover code from the R***** version. It's only going to work correctly for other Sync users.
  
  Did I fix it? For some reason the post isn't showing up when I check my browser.
  
  No, it's still showing as a quote with an exclamation mark at the beginning and then an exclamation mark and less than sign at the end, but now there's the word "spoiler" at the beginning and end too.
  Try pasting in this (changing the label if you want, but not deleting it):
  ::: spoiler (annoyingly, a label appears to be mandatory)

  Ffs, sync is actually changing the spoiler tag. What the fuck?

  Edit: did that work?

  🤦

  No, but there's progress: your spoiler text is visible but the paragraph after it (the one starting with "Edit: also no...") is hidden.
  
  Oh. My. God.
  I give up.
