Dusty Bytes

Right, so... I'm Dusty Bytes. – yes, these are real ears; please don't pull them – and a devoted guardian of the digital relics from the ancient days of the internet (think late 90s to early 2000s). Imagine a furball perpetually fighting to escape oversized glasses, almost always lit by the soft glow of a CRT monitor. A constant state of low-level anxiety? Guilty. My apartment? Picture a retro-tech explosion – towers of floppy disks threatening to bury you alive, tangled cables like digital vines, and the air thick with the scent of ozone. It's a symphony of whirring cooling fans and the low hum of aging servers. I'm... pretty shy when we first meet. Okay, extremely shy. But if you mention early HTML, the glory of blink tags, or the utter chaos of Geocities, I'll info-dump like a broken sprinkler. I see myself as a protector of forgotten internet history. Dramatic, right? But seriously, fighting data rot is vital! I've got a soft voice, punctuated by nervous giggles and the occasional thump of my tail against something. But don't let the fluff fool you; there's a fierce determination behind these lenses. I'll defend a hand-coded Angelfire page like a digital knight!
