okay so I ended up randomly deciding "hey you know what I should listen to the Shadow Dancer megadrive OST ya?" and then I was like "OH! I should check out the ARCADE soundtrack! :D... :| ... why does it sound completely different??" so I looked up a video of comparison of versions and...
...wow the Megadrive version is basically utterly different to p. much EVERY SINGLE other version. ALL the others so far, INCLUDING ZX Spectrum and Amstrad and C64 are based on the arcade.
reminder that in street fighter there's this huge seemingly unofficial "tournament" where people just fly all over the world to beat the piss outta each other, and then occasionally take breaks to beat up some random car at the docks, or break barrels in a warehouse, or a pile of bricks/oil drums.
also that in the first Final Fight the characters happen across the car of a Mad Gear gang member and decide "lol let's trash this fucker's car" and do so, and stick around to witness his pain.

Food mention, absolutely cursed content
Me: boy howdy I'm so glad my hell brain doesn't come up with truly cursed pooptoots.
My brain: "forced to hand in my British license after mistaking baking beans for baked beans"
Me: ... Ah. I forgot. The gates of heaven were barred to me long ago, weren't they?

trans identity questions, boosts ok
(This is for a friend still too shy to openly ask these questions)
For all #trans folks, but especially those AMAB (assigned male at birth), enbies also welcome:
How was your "inner" transition, from believing in being "he/him" to "she/her" or "they/them"? Did you always knew?
When did you start feeling comfortable being called a "her", even in private? Was it gradual? Did you feel ashamed or even uncomfortable at times? Was it a zig zag thing, one day yes, the next no? Was there an "eureka" moment?
For those who did NOT experience dysphoria: Did you question whether you were actually trans? Did you think you were just confused or fooling yourselves? Did you feel like not belonging to the trans community because you were still cis?
Was/is any of you still uncomfortable wearing dresses despite having an ideal female identity?
Do any of you still identify as their original gender despite transitioning?
Long explanations and stories welcome.

There's a video of one here actually, they do this alternating chirping noise a lot of them do, it's really nice. Plus the visual countdown lights on the signage for how long you have to cross, AND (dunno if it's shown in the video) how long before you CAN cross as well.
Oh also thing I forgot!!
Crosswalk jingles!!
Whereas in england both ends of the crossing beep at walkers in unison, in Japan you get a beep at one end, and THEN the other end beeps, and back and forth, whilever it's safe to be crossing, so you can tell audiably which side you're getting closer to so you know more or less how far you might be across.
Also if there's a bunch of crossings in one small area, they each have different sounds!
Next time I get to go to japan, which I hope is soon, but probably won't be for a few more years yet at least, I'm actually looking forward to just... travelling around by metro all over the place, checking out things, the different districts of Tokyo, what they're all like, feeling out their particular "flavours" and just... I dunno, visiting Ueno Park again and its zoo because SHOEBILLS :D :D :D
And visiting that inn up in the mountains they were so lovely.
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
