New on Patreon, I take a look back at WRATH: Aeon of Ruin, a game I didn't like in early access, now fully released five years later. Has it improved any?

Another article that might’ve been a thread in a different era:
How The X-Men Logo Got Fixed
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.
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.
