sometimes I gotta learn to like, not read the replies of idiots on social media

I'm now starting to look into modding my guitar hero controller to have better-feeling frets and a strumbar.

somebody stop me

my partner is streaming assassin's creed II and she switched to the Italian dub and strangely, it fits better than I expected it to

transphobia 

Someone left a rather transphobic comment on my post about Celeste.

How much of a sad boy do you have to be to make a comment like that, on my small blog of all things

little story for tonight.

while i was goofing around with #globalTalk, I ended up searching for some old Simpsons icons for my classic Macintosh (an LC 475), and stumbled upon an entry on the garden called Banned Simpsons Icons. (Who could resist downloading something with a title like that?)

They were called the "Banned Simpsons Icons" because Fox once sent the artist - Jeanette Foshee - a cease & desist letter for her uncannily perfect renderings of the copyrighted characters. they planned on suing her for every penny she made ($0.00) on them. this was back in 1995.

i thought - hell, what a wild story. why don't I get a hold of the artist - jeanette - and find out more about her banned icon set?

what i stumbled upon broke my heart, and i ended up spending a week digitally preserving what i could find.

update: now listening to Billy Joel's Glass Houses, on an incredibly old tape that squeaks when played.

partially annoying but I can deal with it.

sometimes it's the kind of day where you listen to Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "The Best of BTO (So Far)" on cassette on a tacky My First Sony cassette boombox

I've now bought a 360 controller receiver so I can play YARG with my GH5 guitar controller rather than the wired X-plorer I had been using.

Damn it seems the "Fortnite Festival to Clone Hero/YARG" pipeline hit me hard.

Last piece of Modern AU Pirate's Fate stuff for the time being.

@wildweasel good point, as I saw like, sci-fi magazines as well.

They must've wanted it gone quickly

you folks love that "star trek," right

this thrift store has a bunch of these for a buck each!

re: mild rant about rhythm game customs 

Thankfully it seems some custom song folks have made charts that support all difficulties and aren't hard for the sake of being hard.

If it was nothing but incredibly hard songs, I probably wouldn't even bother with YARG/Clone Hero and would stick to the official games instead. which would be a bummer tbh

mild rant about rhythm game customs 

I find it a bit frustrating that rhythm game customs tend to lean towards making charts that are pointlessly difficult.

not everybody's a god-tier player who's beaten Through the Fire and Flames at 125% speed while blindfolded, you gotta accommodate for the lesser-skilled as well.
