I completely forgot I have a Mastodon app on my phone with an account and people I’m following and everything

if anyone would like to feel better about their own technical skill, it took me months of occasionally playing FFXI and thinking “I know this is a 20 year old game but it looks like it was rendered on an N64” before realizing today I’d set the game resolution lower than the window it was playing in

Duolingo (which I haven’t used in years) sent me an email in Japanese accepting a translation between Spanish and Italian.

a hypothetical person trying to talk to me about video games: so Epic…
me: Epic MegaGames?

them: well, anyway, their CEO Tim Sweeney —
me: oh, the guy who wrote ZZT

them: I guess? but then Cliff Bleszinski —
me: the creator of Dare to Dream, right, go 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: alexanderbrandon.bandcamp.com/

judaism, mental health 

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

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. shnabubula.bandcamp.com/album/

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
