I'll write up a proper VGM Selection entry sometime later but

just listen to this. 26 minutes of _really good_ music with a cinematic feel to it, with most of its harmony supplied by a _silicon bug_ in the C64's SID chip, all written for a _Tetris_ game in the 80s.

No wonder people are so nostalgic for the C64.

Today we learned: Yoko Shimomura (of Kingdom Hearts and Xenoblade Chronicles fame) did the SSBU arrangement of Kass's Theme.

Four arms is demonstrably better than two, because they let you give double the hugs.

I wonder if you could use LIGO as a microphone....

Fun thing: replacing -ty in words with -tea

extremitea
diversitea
proximitea
extemporanietea

today we learned: the past tense of "must" is "mote"

Kangaroos have good tails. I think I will have one of those too today.

Spaceships fly among the stars. Does that make them astral planes?

Who the hell is tom clancy anyway and why are there so many games named after him

took a bit to find because we don't know the proper terminology but it seems like it's the photon, like we'd thought.

looking up what exactly the gauge boson of the voltage gauge is and, uh, thanks duckduckgo, that's a useful suggestion

@Ficus Just want to say, I saw your recent uploads to Weasyl and I approve. :thumbsup_clw_v1:​

Also, in a really weird coincidence, we just learned of the existence of the game Crystalis today, looked it up and thought it looked interesting and planned to emulate it sometime, and then what did that game store have but a copy of Crystalis in their front display case? Only $5, too.

They also had what we went there for, which is the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD remix, so that was nice.

Well, that was interesting. The local used game store, which usually has a pretty poor selection of old games, today had a couple historic games in stock: Pac-Man for the 2600, _and_ a game for the Magnavox Odyssey² (it was just a bowling game, but we'd never seen an Odyssey² game before)

random thought, ps1 had green label, ps2 and ps3 had red label, what's the ps4 have?

actually kind of low-level worried that someone's going to talk about some spoiler for one of the old games that we haven't played like it's nothing, assuming people know it already
