Welcome pals!
I'm picklefriction.
Likes: Collecting things, Fish (ask me about my aquariums), Lucille Ball, Spaghettios, tea, Communism, old commercials, nostalgiattacks, fighting games (I mostly play Tekken these days but I like all kinds), empathy, kindness, cute stuff, pastel colors, survival horror.
Dislikes: First time chat messages that are long and/or self-indulgent or questions that can be googled. First impressions are important so try ("Hello" "How are you?" "This game is tight") and let's go from there. I also don't like bigots. That's about it, I'm not that hard to impress.
Curious about more? Talk to me! I'm very approachable. Let's get to know each other!
I also have a YouTube channel where I do 'Let's plays' with friends with an emphasis on retro video games. Come check it out!
You can also travel through time with my other show "Press Play". On this show I watch and commentate over recorded television VHS tapes with a friend on our journey to seek out, archive and riff on the best and worst retro commercials.
I also post full playthroughs of streams, highlights, funny videos and fighting game matches there.
Come show some love!
This is my Twitter and Instagram. I don't use much else.

Join the Pal Patrol! Good vibes are the foundation of this discord and we can't wait to meet you!
My Discord has a ton of variety so that hopefully there will be something for everyone, such as -
Casual Chats
Art
Food
Film
Video games
Pinball
etc.
We are also interested in building a community of people who are interested in creating a scene for online multiplayer retro games. A few examples of how we do this are...
Fightcade: a software client for Windows, Mac and Ubuntu that creates multiplayer functionality over the internet using GGPO for a variety of retro arcade and console video games.
Xlink Kai: An easy to use program that allows for users to play multiplayer games from a variety of consoles over the internet including Xbox, PS2, Gamecube and more.
Zandronum: One of the many ways to browse servers and play original Doom (Deathmatch, Co-op, Survivial, etc) over the internet with others, as well as many other classic Doom clones.
I have provided in depth tutorials for each of these in the discord to be as user friendly as possible!
Click the Discord panel for an invite link! I hope to see you there!
Starting at 1 dollars you can have your message read on stream over text to speech! Use it wisely!
Donations are a completely optional, but effective way to support what I do. There are many things that go into making this stream and my videos possible.

Remember, this is supposed to be fun for everyone! Following these simple rules and ensure that we all feel comfortable.
Swearing is okay, but...
-No racism.
-No sexism.
-No homophobia.
-No transphobia.
-No fatphobia.
-No xenophobia.
-No ableism.
-No links without permission.
-English only in chat (Sorry, but I can't respond or moderate languages I don't understand).
-Show kindness!
-Make friends!
-Be excellent to each other!
Breaking these rules will never be tolerated and YES I apparently have to spell all of this out in detail for some people.
