I feel both sorry for and grateful to the national weather service employees, who are currently working without pay due to the government shutdown to track storms like this and keep people safe.

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
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
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

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
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
