I nearly had an existential crisis until I saw it was just a reflection

Most of these crystals send their information and power down specially-designed conduits, but some of them, especially the ones for connecting the device to other devices, simply send information through the aether instead.

Computers are literally magic.

No, really. There's a few power crystals feeding energy into an array of memory crystals, which transfer information to and from a control crystal, which uses a limited sort of intelligence to tell all the other crystals what to do. There's one physically large array of crystals that show the user what the apparatus is doing, and a few crystals that send and receive information from other assemblages of crystals that act as a way for a user to control the system.

Misread something a friend typed and now I'm thinking about massive and multiple balls... -w-

The other afternoon I saw a dragon in the sky at sunset, but only had my phone with me to catch it.

Rather warm weather to be honest. Please have a cozy pail for your low-melting-point friends.

Stars are basically just giant explosions that forgot to stop exploding.

Guide to Making Things Felthry Finds Cute:

1. The more limbs it has beyond those its species usually does, the cuter.
2. The more eyes it has, the cuter. Ultimate puppy-dog eyes.
3. The more friendly and playful it is, the cuter.

It turns out that the first time a human visits a new planet, they are automatically changed into the resident sapient race. It turns out that Dragons are originally from Mars, and the first manned mission is about to land.

Thirty days until my uptime is a round number of years again!

Music is all about repetition, but this piece takes it to the extreme without being annoying. The main driving force is a four-bar melody from the strings, the percussion doesn't change much, and the main melody is an occasionally-repeated slow brass line only six bars long. Very little changes between repetitions, yet Uematsu manages to make this an _interesting_ feature, not a boring one.

It's a fascinating technique.

One of the finest pieces of Final Fantasy music, this plays as you approach a particular story boss in IX, even replacing the battle music for encounters in this period.

While percussion does keep the beat, the forward momentum mainly comes from a repeating four-bar melodic phrase in the strings section, while the brass plays a slow, dignified melody.

technically everything that ever happens is a coincidence, it's just that some of them are less random than others.

What exactly is "detroit become human" anyway?

*gags* Someone decided it would be perfectly fine, in the middle of summer, when it's 36 degrees celcius out, to just leave full jugs of milk sitting out in the parking lot where they dropped them
