Here's an opinionated and unfiltered profanity-littered rant about everyone who ever responded to a mention of the _Cowboy Bebop_ series or soundtrack with, "What, these kids have never heard of Miles Davis?" without bothering to recognise that Yoko Kanno's adept interpretation of a wide range of musical styles is a masterwork in itself:
Fuck 'em.
Holy shitsnacks, the _Cowboy Bebop_ soundtrack is even more mind-blowingly awesome now as when I first heard it, and not just because this time I have cannabinoids to restore my brain chemicals to something closer to what they were when I first heard it. This isn't nostalgia – it's genuinely new to me in the listening.
Here's a videogame soundtrack that doesn't get enough love:
_Interstate '76_ (PC) by Aaron Salazar.
In 1997, we got a game of vehicle-based combat set in the American Southwest in the mid-Seventies. Even though my PC could only barely run it at the time, I played the hell out of it, and one solid part of the equation was the flawless funk soundtrack that puts you right into the setting.

Why I despise Adobe, part 627.
I think the most boneheaded aspect of it is the assumption that Unicode will make a mess on the web, but instead of changing it to something in nice, safe 7-bit ASCII, it's instead an 8-bit character that not only is not semantically related, but is wholly reliant on the local codepage, so it could become all kinda of nonsense depending on what system the webserver is serving to, so it's still not "web-safe". Nice job fucking it up, guys.

For fuck's sake, you overvalued cretins, if you're going to put in a dialog box warning the user that the filename they picked has characters that might trip up some ancient-ass webservers and such, don't just automatically sanitise the filename on save without presenting it to the user and asking if that's what they really want.
Oh, but didn't I want forced conversion of spaces to hyphen-dashes (not underscores!) and Greek betas to German eszetts?
Fuck Adobe.

Hello humans,
Yes we're awake now, we can take your questions.
Some good news, the new 1075-EZ came in over the relay. So hopefully you all can finally fill that out. it would appear that humans not have a .qdf-like format... so we made it into images... hopefully thats good enough.
