Now on the Secret Area proper: https://asecretarea.com/2024/02/20/celeste-frustration-puzzle-platformers/
Listening to Groove Salad and suddenly I hear the theme to House, M.D.
That's stranger than the time I heard Art of Noise's Paranoimia (featuring Max Headroom) on the same station....

silicon valley VCs' best ideas of the 2020s:
-put a drone on something
-wrongness generator 3000 (uses more energy than a small nation)
-fraud
-space pollution
-self-crashing cars
-an app that is actually criminally underpaid workers in another country
-an app that is actually criminally underpaid workers in this country
-fascism
-vrchat but it cost 20x to make and it fucking sucks
-layoffs
I want to love myself, which feels like a herculean task at the moment

New on Patreon: I write a bit about my frustration with puzzle platformers, and how a plucky little game called Celeste changed my opinions on them.
btw, free for everyone to read. Gonna do a test run of doing this rather than paywalling it for a few days.

I always struggle with wanting to write stuff, but it seems when I start, it's difficult for me to stop unless I feel there's a solid conclusion.
Anyway I'll probably have something to post in the coming days.

One of those projects I hope comes to reality some day is like, a complete collection of Price is Right music.
I think there's a lot of stuff over the past 50+ years of the show that could comprise of *multiple* albums.
Plus hey, studio quality tunes and not like low-quality bitcrushed MP3s!

This goes out to the other #trans people in the Fediverse, let's destroy the myth that "you're too old" to start transitioning later in life. I started hormones when I was 35 and my changes have been amazing..
..how old were YOU when you started your transition or HRT?
Please boost for visibility :)
Since Usher is performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, I think it's fitting to post this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgADDXyWJEE

An important aspect of the hacker ethos is the "got so mad at broken proprietary thing that I fixed it myself" attitude. It runs explicitly counter to the cop mentality half of infosec has these days.
Celeste has further cemented my belief that I genuinely don't like platformers that require precision platforming and failing it results in immediate death.
Because of that, I didn't finish VVVVVV, and barely tolerated my playthroughs of Blood of the Werewolf and Hell Yeah for my blog.
Went down one of those video game rabbit holes where I found out that Karaoke Revolution was initially made by Harmonix (the Rock Band folks), and that Karaoke Revolution Party supports Dance Dance Revolution pads.
Add another game to the "supports the DDR pad" pile alongside ESPN Track & Field...
