There's nothing quite like clicking the "Unsubscribe" link on one of many unwanted promotional e-mails from a company I purchased from once, only for my browser's anti-bullshit filter to block it as dangerous.

I'm sure it sucks for them to lose a customer, but they should look on the bright side! They can still sell my info because I don't live in California.

@distressedegg Couldn't help myself.

@xinjinmeng I'm sure I can find something good to say about it. It's... it's... uh... earnest?

Your daily reminder that "One Size Fits All" is always a hurtful lie.

@rainwarrior The doubled stuff is a little too bracing for me, but I unironically enjoy the more lightly salted variety.

Almost.

I'm planning to dip my toes in by releasing my first three released albums, a.k.a. my only released albums... but I have a big decision to make.

What license should I release all this under? It's presently covered by standard U.S. all-rights-reserved copyright, but I'm trying to decide just how available I want it to be. What I really want it the Hippocratic License – https://firstdonoharm.dev/ seriously check it out – but Bandcamp only offers Creative Commons licenses, so...

Do I want "Non-Commercial"? Not quite. I mean, I sort of do because I'm kinda rabidly anti-capitalist these days and I really don't want anything I do to be used for shit I wouldn't tolerate, but I don't want to say no to whatever small game developer wants to plunk my tracks in whilst also making rent payments, y'know?

Do I want "No Derivatives"? It seems cruel to offer music for use in projects and then say it can't be changed as needed to fit, so probably not.

Do I want "Share Alike"? I don't even know. Are viral licenses cool?

At the end of the day, I think what I really want is for my work to be available to anyone who wants to make use of it, but I kinda want to know who and why first so I don't discover that fascist assholes used "Dream of One" as the startup sound for a kitten-seeking missile or something.

Am I better off sticking with "All Rights Reserved" and telling folks to contact me for free usage only if they think the Hippocratic License is a good idea?

@Leucrotta Definitely keep at this. I love the way this works with your line style!

@xinjinmeng @rainwarrior Oddly, I feel that Battletoads is more brutal of the two, but that's in part because I've only ever made it past the Turbo Tunnels a couple times but I've beat TMNT legit maybe half a dozen or so. It's a different sort of hard. Battletoads is more demanding, but TMNT has more jank to put up with.

@mawr This reminds me of shader programming. You'll occasionally see things multiplied by 0.999999 or summed with 0.000001 for the purposes of avioding division by zero or making sure pixel boundaries aren't missed. This might be a bug workaround!

But it's still kinda messed up.
