Whoever's following me from Cohost and misses my fiction: I've been slowly reposting (and updating) some of my stories I wrote for the writing-prompts over here: https://weaselswriting.dreamwidth.org/2024/10/ (and some new stuff besides).

@winampskins the shuffle/repeat buttons are amazing on this one!

@foone back in the day, I refused to have any icons on my desktop besides the recycle bin, and went to the trouble of manually deleting them all.

one afternoon, windows XP still offered to help me remove "unused icons." 🤷‍♂️

Another thing I'd settle for is a dual-playlist player where you can fill out one list with "quiet" tracks and another list with "action" tracks, and just hit a hotkey (or wire up a game script mod?) to shuffle to a track in the opposite list, as the mood dictates.

Somebody should make a standalone media player where you can load two songs up, they play in sync, and you hit a button to crossfade between them, so you can listen to stuff like Fire Emblem's two-part battle tracks or the soundtrack to the Flash game Continuity the way they function in game

@effika He does seem like a New Balance kind of guy; he's too perpetually-broke for those to be Air Jordans. 😁​

You know what I can do here that I can't on bluesky? Upload my own damn animated GIFs.
