Motivated by the renewed attention surrounding our 1990s Moon Child game on Bluesky, I did a search on my HDD, and found back some pencil-on-paper concept sketches I made for the game at the time. 🙂

i also ordered a bunch of Interesting Beers for my birthday
(disclaimer: i will not be drinking all of these today) (i'll probably have like two)
I also went in miniso just to browse and came out with a Zootopia brick game, another famiclone power bank and a Zootopia blind box. And a can of iced matcha latte but I drank that
I went to a food hall to try and find a nice birthday lunch. Got salmon teriyaki bento (it was very good) & as soon as I sat down with my food they started playing iron lion zion
It my birthday 🦁🎂

A lot of liberals want to make it illegal for kids to be sad online and talk to their only friends (also online) about it rather than try to make the world someplace worth living in.

Okay, here's a long shot for the #Fedi hive mind. If you are in the intersection of "#musician or musician-adjacent in the 1980s" and "keyboard / #synthesizer aficionado", this one is for you.
In the mid- to late-80s, I used to spend a lot of time in music / #instrument stores (not selling CDs, selling guitars and amps and drums and whatnot). Synthesizer tech was advancing rapidly at this point, with digital starting to overtake analog by leaps and bounds.
At some point, one of the stores got a new #keyboard model in. I can't swear to it, but I think it was either a #Roland or a #Korg. This one had a floppy drive built in, on the side of the #synth. And they had a demo on a floppy disk that was incredible at the time.
It wasn't an official #demo disk. It was a normal consumer floppy, presumably copied far and wide. Hand-Sharpied on it was the name/title "Amin Phone". It was a musical, bright and upbeat piece, rock/pop, maybe 30s long, and included digital samples of a person's voice.
The entire thing was a ridiculous #answering machine outgoing #message. I think there was even a sampled voice at the end taken from someone leaving a message, commenting on it being over-the-top or something.
"Amin phone" is unsearchable on the 'net. Everyone has a phone, and there are millions of people named Amin or el-Amin.
Anyone else remember this? Anyone actually able to point to a recording of it?
