Just caught myself thinking "why are we so tired, it's not that late" then looked at the clock and
it's past midnight
on a completely unrelated note, we're going to bed now. goodnight!
Felthry's VGM Selection
Battle (Diagon Alley)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (GBC)
Ian Stocker
This game has some _really_ good music considering it's a licensed game. The composer-arranger Ian Stocker was given Jeremy Soule's (yes, that Jeremy Soule, the guy who did the music for the Elder Scrolls series) soundtrack to the PC 3d-platformer-slash-almost-metroidvania game and tasked with turning it into a soundtrack for a JRPG.
He did an outstanding job of it. This battle theme in particular pulls thematic elements from Soule's main theme, but then subverts expectations going down a completely different path and turning it from a mysterious, atmospheric piece, into an active, even intense battle theme.
This game, with no exaggeration needed, quite honestly has some of the best music the gameboy has to offer. And it's a _licensed_ game, from _EA_ of all people!
amazon misadventures (+)
well, this game must not have done very well in stores. we heard it was an okay game and had an amazon gift card (due to amazon fucking up an order a while ago) so we ordered this cheap 3ds rpg called "the alliance alive" that we'd heard was halfway decent. Ordered a used copy, but the distributor must have run out of used ones or something because they just sent us a brand-new limited-run "launch edition" copy that came with an artbook, keychain, and soundtrack
the whole thing was basically free after the gift card
has anyone else ever forgotten that coffee filters can be used for making coffee?
we don't like coffee so the only context we see them in is as amateur chemists' filter papers.
if you heat up a glaceon, do you get a vaporeon?
figured it might be worth mentioning: there's a total lunar eclipse Sunday night visible from the US (and even Europe if you want to get up before 5 am). You should check if there's an observatory near you that's going to be open to the public for it!
I don't know if this is a minority opinion or not but uh, the "nobot" thing people put in their profiles makes me kinda uncomfortable? as a synth-y robot-y thing
there's a number of people I've just, not followed or not interacted with because of it
I know they probably don't mean to include me in that but it feels wrong to just make that assumption
*tries to think of a way to make a "billet bull" joke but fails*
I keep seeing people explaining why discord's new tos is not actually a bad thing and yet I have not seen a single person worried that it is
so I was on the wikipedia page for pesto out of a random bout of curiosity and came across this gem: "The use of this paste in the Roman cuisine is mentioned in the Appendix Vergiliana, an ancient collection of poems where the author dwells on the details about the preparation of moretum." (moretum is a roman sauce that was a predecessor to pesto alla genovese)
so apparently this ancient roman poet just decided to write poems about how to make sauces

~Woman Forced to Remove Dying Tree, Turns It Into Tiny Library Instead~
oooh, there's a total lunar eclipse visible here sunday night, and we just learned the university's observatory is going to be open to the public during it
holy crap I just learned a Thing
so we already knew that on a youtube video you can press j to skip back ten seconds (we use this all the time because of auditory processing disorder leading to "wait what did they just say"), and l skips forward ten seconds, and k plays/pauses
just learned today that while it's paused, you can press , (comma) to go back one frame and . (period) to go forward one frame
what's the past tense of forgo, anyway? is it forwent?
context: just heard someone say "forgoed" on a gdq recording and thought it sounded wrong but then realized that forwent sounds wrong too
You're all cute people. Thanks for existing. <3
I always find it weird when things like this happen, two posts of the format "things: (list of three things)" posted within seconds of each other

long-post fiction; mindplay, plural
You notice many fursuit parts around you, similar enough that they could easily belong to the same suit, but there are too many of them. Even though they're in pieces, the chest parts have barely visible slit openings, like a catsuit you can slide into. There's no zipper, but each opening looks like it holds shut well enough without one. You assemble enough parts to make a complete suit, and it looks more seamless than before. On a whim, you slip into it and put it on.
The suit immediately feels like it's your own skin. Wanting to share the experience with a friend, you assemble another suit for them to wear. As soon as you finish though, it springs to life, and you see and feel yourself in both suits at the same time.
It's a lot to take in, and you open up one of the suits to take it off. Once you regain your bearings, you notice that you're taking off the second suit, and the one you were wearing at first is a crumpled heap in front of you. You feel unusually cramped in a single form, and get distracted by thoughts of putting the suits back on. You want to be in two places at once again.
You decide to put on one of the suits again, and immediately find yourself in both suits. Good, but you don't know what to do with yourself now. You explore your forms, and as you flex your fingers, you make distinct hand gestures between both forms. You notice you can move them independently, so you wrap one of yourself around the other.
You settle on giving your other self a back rub. You really like the contact you're feeling on your other self's back, and it makes you a bit envious that they're getting such treatment. Even as you're thinking it, you're conflicted because you don't want to stop to switch places.
There are still many more suit parts around you, so you could make enough suits so both of you could get back rubs. You aren't sure you want to do that, so you just switch places instead.
As you do this, you notice that your suits still look like they can be taken apart. On a whim, you take off the head of your other suit to see if anything is underneath. There's nothing. Instead, it feels like you're carrying your own disembodied head. You set the head down and remove the head of your other suit, and it feels the same way. Experimenting, you put the suit heads on each other's shoulders, and they hold into place, feeling again like they belong there.
Curious now, you open up the front of your other suit's chest and look inside. You don't see anyone in there, so you climb in. Inside, it's a lot bigger, and you see many suits and suit parts around. All of them look like they'd fit with the suit parts you've seen so far, but each one looks different enough to be unique. As you consider pulling some out with you, you see your body in the distance, and get a strange out-of-body feeling from it. You decide to take it with you outside.
As soon as you emerge, you find yourself not wearing any of the suits, and the suits you were wearing are lifeless. You pat yourself to convince yourself it's all real, and notice a slit opening on your chest like on the suits. A desperate feeling of wanting to be worn washes over you.
What will Square Enix do when they get to the 30th Final Fantasy game, I wonder? They can't very well call it Final Fantasy XXX.
I wonder what the longest video games are? It's a hard metric to define; you can't just go by "what's the shortest possible time to complete them" because then you get into speedrunning and glitch (ab)use. Perhaps average time to completion (over some representative sample)? But then how do you handle games that don't have an end? You can't just say they're all infinitely long because that's not true, you get bored eventually
