Delete-redrafted mostly because some idiot posted some awful shit in the replies. Yeesh.

Feel like shit, just want her back...

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!

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.

BEHOLD! THE MISSING WINDOWS!

Oh no.

1) This is in a VM, if you can't tell. I'm not sure if that's safer in this case, but we'll take it as it comes.
2) This is an actual thing you can find on archive.org. Seriously. Here:
