cancel culture
i feel like there's two different things we talk about both as "cancel culture"
there's the thing where we critically examine the actions and beliefs of people with enormous amounts of influence and hold them accountable
and there's the thing where we use the same mechanisms to destroy the lives of small, often queer, creators for making mistakes or for making problematic content
we play a dangerous game by conflating the two
30-day Video Game Music Challenge day 7
music from an indie game:
Freedom Planet (PC) - Jade Creek B
composers: Woofle, BlueWarrior
this game has so many good songs, it was hard to choose one. this one has a bit of a mega man feel

30-day Video Game Music Challenge day 6
music that makes you feel relaxed:
Sonic Adventure (DC) - Snowy Mountain (Icecap)
composer: Jun Senoue
not much to say about this one, just a very relaxing and atmospheric track from a game i like
also, that new-ish feature on youtube where if there's timestamps in the description of a video, they're used to divide the playback bar into labelled segments
it still works on videos that just happened to have timestamps in the past
which demonstrates once more to me that Plain Text is the ultimate backwards-compatible format
30-day Video Game Music Challenge day 5
hub world or overworld music:
Dragon Quest VIII (PS2) - Strange World ~ Marching through the Fields
composer: Koichi Sugiyama
an overworld theme i never get tired of
30-day Video Game Music Challenge day 4
music from a console exclusive series:
Ecco the Dolphin (Sega CD) - The Vents
composer: Spencer Nilsen
a rather unique track for the time. in general i find early redbook audio vgm to be experimental but this one is among the best
30-day Video Game Music Challenge day 3
8-bit music:
Pokemon Trading Card Game (GBC) - Club Master Duel
composer: Ichirล Shimakura
i was tempted to go with pc-88 music since that's technically 8-bit, but i decided to instead go with a rather obscure but very good piece of psg music
30-day Video Game Music Challenge day 2
opening level music:
Touhou Imperishable Night (PC) - Illusionary Night ~ Ghostly Eyes
composer: ZUN
a very good first stage theme that really sets the tone for the game
30-day Video Game Music Challenge day 1
title screen music:
Solstice (NES) - title
composer: Tim Follin
probably not the only time you'll see a follin song on this list, but this one was too good to pass up
