I swear to god, once a month I have to recalibrate the brightness, contrast and color saturation on my damn monitor and it never looks right.

It's either too bright or too dark, colors either blend too much together or look almost black and white.

It's so frustrating to me.

Today I learned that the entire score for Beverly Hills Cop II was released two years ago by La-La Land Records.

This makes me very giddy because that soundtrack is pretty much late '80s personified, and is one of my personal favorites.

Helps it's also by Harold Faltermeyer, one of the gods of synthesizer scores.

After giving it a proper listen for the first time in a long while, Peter Gabriel's So still holds up.

Listening to Duran Duran's A View to a Kill, and now I'm reminded of that creepy-ass Bond intro from that film that had all the women dancing in the dark, painted with neon colors.

That's the stuff of nightmares.

Like how can one be angry at someone in CS:GO with a cute cartoon cat as their avatar? :P

Finally bothered to remove the last few places I still had 8-bit Alex Trebek as my avatar.

Makes me look more welcoming, I guess?

LB is pretty much how I've felt.

If you're wondering why I've been minimizing my name and place as often it's because the last thing I want is someone with a grudge trying to ruin me with dumb shit.

I've had friends suffer through that and it's bad all around.

oh hey, my MP3 collection's now in early 1982, and Africa by Toto is playing.

This song being propelled to meme status is a bummer because it's a decent song.

Rosanna was the better track off that album, though.

I bought pants and shorts today, and I feel happy because I can stop living the sweatpants lifestyle.

I've noticed that when a trans person transitions, that they share more selfies of themselves. More than they've probably ever had pictures taken of them in their lives.

This is not a bad thing, btw. Show your face, be proud of yourself!!

Having internet friends is great because you can have interesting conversations.

However, it also sucks because 90% of them are too far away, making hugs difficult.

The Stroke just came up on my MP3 player and now I can't stop thinking of Dan Ryckert's dumb story about this song, my god

Watching a CS:GO tournament through SteamTV and while it's nice it has timecodes and markers for rounds, I certainly don't love it switching between buttery smooth and a slideshow.

Oh well, competition's better than Twitch being the only kid in town that matters.
