I found this slice of wood while on a bike ride earlier. I thought it was nifty, so I kept it. It is indeed, pretty nifty. I dropped it on the way to where I was going, but I was able to find it on the way back.

@xerz Gee, it's almost like these sponsors do their damnedest to put their name in front of everyone and so they jumped at an easy opportunity to sponsor not one creator but a bunch all at once

I love being outside and having a shouted conversation with my mother across the yard about how I have no plans for bottom surgery. No, really. That was kinda funny. Let the neighbors know I'm keeping my dick. Fuck 'em, the transphobes. Yeah, not only is your neighbor's daughter trans, but she's got a massive dick too!

The gender of the day is an aggravated angel in a drowned civilization.
@DarkWitchClaire The rest of the thread has probably answered the question, but yes. This line of criticism does extend to the SST cover.
And I probably should say I can tell if a cover is "good". After all, many covers that screw this up are still good. They just don't do the song true justice IMO.
Honestly, maybe it's just an issue of bring bass to the front that the particular arcade hardware didn't have issues with. But, yeah. The bass is very important and if I can barely find it under the other instruments, that's not good.
Maybe I'm getting too technically here compared to how it was composed, but it seems symptomatic of how we've decided melody and accompaniment means melody and bass line. Like, the bass line is not just accompaniment in this song! It trades off with other instruments as part of the melody! So if a cover decides to focus the guitar in the opening where the bass is the actual melody, they've probably misunderstood the song.
I can literally tell if a cover is good within a few seconds because of how the opening works.
Hot take: any cover of Final Take Off from Afterburner that just shoves the bass to the background has fundamentally misunderstood the song. Yes, this includes the FM Towns version.
Oh, and in case you were curious, much like my Windows 11 leak VM, this VM is also not safe for work.
Okay, I'm not going to continue boring you with this. It's literally a skinned version of Windows 7 with some software preinstalled. But, I will leave you with this. My favourite preinstalled windows theme: black spider.
