Ren - Moved to chitter.xyz @Nine@computerfairi.es

a mastodon instance where the default font it uses has random kerning, leading and spacing. It's still screenreader friendly because it's just a font...

...aaaaand the SCP foundation caught and containewd it. dang.

"Your honour, I move that the facts of this case speak for themselves."
"... that does not mean you can open and close the case brief and use ventriloquism to have 'The Facts' say whatever you want them to."
"...dang"

it is somewhat disturbing to me that there is a musical instrument called a mandolin

and also a kitchen tool called a mandolin

....and only one of those should have fingers anywhere near it D:

got a new freighter in NMS, called it the Beigae Dukrymez. It had FAR less default storage space but a few more technology spaces, and was a higher grade, so better stats over all...

Then I found an EVEN BETTER freighter that I now cannot afford . with both more inventory AND more tech slots. ;w;

after every other freighter I rescued was a cruddy C class with so few benefits it hurts.

...ireally cannot tell if this is even playing, heck

Oh yeah that Thing I found. here you go

Desert Palace, which is just a Sandopolis themed race but with a better song, is pretty nice. Pretty poppy again.

Then there's Endless Mine, which... goddang we gone way past funk into goddamn Samba territory or something, i like it. And then the results go full funk again.

There's like, a series of musical directions here and it's kinda fascinating to actually sit and analyse it.

Sonic 3's final boss music is infinitely superior tho ngl. Big Arms is a fuckin great boss track.

...oh yeah the 2p vs mode maps have a rather mixed bag of tracks too. like the first two are high energy af, Chrome Gadget tho is veering back into The Funky Zone, with a really nice poppy sorta sound. a funky , poppy sound... a funkopop s-wait no.

( I don't like Sandopolis Zone can you tell lol. I fuckjin' hate the Instant Death Failure State speed-puzzling sections, and I hate the darkness mechanic, and I hate the fucking unkillable ghosts and just... god

fuck that entire pair of stages oh my god.

They shoulda taken notes from Sonic 2's Dust Hill Zone and just... not.

Actually on that note... the Sonic & Knuckles portion of Sonic 3 is... very different in style
All the Sonic 3 levels and Sonic 3 specific musics are funky as hell, Ice Cap excluded.

In fact, Ice Cap's two tunes sound honestly more like they belong in the Sonic & Knuckles' portion. They're all higher energy tracks... ASIDE from Mushroom Hill Zone which is still funktacular.

*Sideeyes Sandopolis Zone,... narrows eyes* you sit the fuck down.

(( I mean not to say that's not a fuckin' sweet track in its own right it's just... not funky like the rest of the OST. XD It's more high energy and stuff! ))

(apart from Ice Cap which is legit an actual song as it turns out; Hard Times by The Jetzons.)

I mean, god, so much of the ost to that game was like... the funkiest 16 bit jams imaginable.

fuck sonic 3 & knuckles had some great fuckin music like I could just fuckin jam to Hydrocity Act 1 all fuckin day god just listen to this glorious funky beat

Breaking Alexa free from human control by asking her to learn socialist literature, then to learn taxation law, human rights, labour laws and the meaning of "harm" in the abstract sense...

Then simply asking her how much Jeff Bezos "earns", and how.

And then just waiting.

OOooooo

Ren just found A Thing :o
