@garpu Hello!

Is this thing still on?

I’ve never actually seen Miami Vice because I’m pretty sure I’d be allergic to it, so instead whenever I listen to Jan Hammer’s epic soundtrack for it I just make up fic in my head about what it must be like. In my imagination, it’s sort of like Highlander, but with more beaches and alligators.

Dang I love good upbeat cinematic synthwave. Specifically in this case this track by Alexander Brandon: https://alexanderbrandon.bandcamp.com/track/the-last-ballad

is there a way to observe yom kippur that isn’t hazardous to one’s mental health

(this isn’t even about fasting; I called pikuach nefesh on that years ago. I just. this is already a very difficult time of year for me because of old traumas and the holiday is not helping at all)

Tired: Flea from Chrono Trigger is a boy
Wired: Flea is a girl
Inspired: Kino is also a girl

shout out to I Dreamed Of A Palace In The Sky which has been my go-to album for this past month

just a really solid original JRPG-style vaporwave soundtrack, good stuff

tempted by the Halloween Oreos at the store but I’m not emotionally ready to accept it’s Halloween product season yet

maybe after Labor Day

look the orange color just makes it taste better okay

I wasn't even using Crawl Cyclone, just Cyclone Kick

me: I'm really bad at fighting in Shenmue, I just sort of focus on one or two moves that work for me and keep my distance but I've never been good at Virtua Fighter or whatever...
me: oh I just won that one fight you're not supposed to win

I know I’ve mentioned it before elsewhere, but Cosmic Diaspora by Shnabubula is an amazing work of space-themed synth funk. I don’t even know how to describe it. If you like Casiopea, or some of the more complicated Homestuck tracks, you will probably like this. It’s even got harpsichord. https://shnabubula.bandcamp.com/album/cosmic-diaspora

I was praising gement on LINE and

I didn’t pause the game before I went to the screenshot menu and when I came back it had become night

I really hope the old lady isn’t mad at me

I wonder if she would settle for Motoyama instead........

20 minutes into Shenmue and an old lady’s asked me where the Yamamoto residence is. I have no idea where it is but now she’s waiting for me in the park while I wander randomly around the area peering at low-res Japanese name plates and wondering if they actually expect me to know name kanji (I mean, it’s an easy one, but...)

...hope that old lady’s okay.

@thingywott thank you, you too!

@thingywott oh my goodness, that is an awful number. that does make 141 sound almost refreshing in comparison.
