It's fun when games contain their own playable retro version, either a demake or a previous series entry. Often this is accessed by interacting with an old computer, console, or arcade cabinet within the game world.

You know what'd be really funny though? A demake accessed from the settings menu by putting the graphics slider ALLLLL the way down.

‪it didn't end film or music. but it did end copyright. without the ability to see through the eyes and hear through the ears, all that was left was fantasy‬

in 2026, the analog hole was finally plugged. the motion picture association of america developed an incantation that, when heard, would render the listener blind and deaf one month later. the delayed action and lack of warning let the world sleepwalk into a new age of darkness

train system speedrun categories: all segments, all stations, all taps, all lines, all terminals

ok here's the plan lol

we're speedrunning the MBTA rapid transit rail system (so no silver line or commuter rail requirement). time to beat is 9:08:52 (https://tris.fyi/speedrun/ has rules and record holders).

time starts once we're on a northbound train and the doors close (soon, hopefully!)

ahh, we have infected the dataset

the NATO Phonetic Alphabet & the LAPD Phonetic Alphabet are military & cop coded. that is why I am releasing a competing radiotelephony spelling system, the CUTIE Phonetic Alphabet

Joe Biden just signed the most significant anti-trans law ever.

This is Joe Biden's legacy. This is the most significant thing he did in four years as President. His final act, his final fuck you on the way out the door, will be to reify— and make bipartisan— the notion that the Federal government should be instrumentalized to exterminate trans children. He could have let Trump do that. But no, he did it himself.

“dreams can be

is, unsurprisingly, a chorus forever stuck in my head, thank you bill wurtz

Being a loner, I had no choice but to invest into learning some music software. The program of the choice for the guitarists back then was (and probably still is) Arobas Guitar Pro. Instead of regular music notation, it was displaying midi roll as if it was a guitar tab. Very accessible when your main instrument is a guitar.

It was very easy to find tabs, sometimes official tabs, from your favourite bands online. I have spent countless hours not just playing along, but also trying to understand what made certain songs work. This "music theory" studying was all guitar-centric: when you play guitar, you don't care about the scale too much; if you need a different scale, you can just capo on a fret you want, instantly transposing the sound of your instrument. So it was all about rhythm, pitch and melody.
