vinyl is better than CD because its capable of reproducing so much more sound than was even originally recorded in the studio

I made the mp3 into an mp4 for Mastodon like this:

convert -size 160x90 xc:#000000 black.png

ffmpeg -loop 1 -i black.png -i song.mp3 -c:v libx264 -tune stillimage -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 192k -pix_fmt yuv420p -shortest song.mp4

Do not ask me what most of the ffmpeg line does. Like most ffmpeg use, it is black magic, understood only by ancient priests.

Food 

Finally made it back to Hawkers’ Delight~ Ahhhh, Singaporean food is so good. And nice and spicy 🍜

Should have posted this earlier: ~8 minute demo of Lunar: Silver Star Story in English for Saturn! Features full English cutscenes, but no English text (it's not quite ready to demo yet). youtu.be/0olV34Mdx9s

Uhhh, the original programmer of Sonic 3D Blast is making a new update to it from source code????? kotaku.com.au/2017/10/sonic-3d

Huh... I didn't realize Skies of Arcadia was announced for PC back in 2004. Guess that never happened. rpgamer.com/news/Q1-2004/01020

This Kotaku article on a Japanese PC game archive is really, really good. kotaku.com.au/2017/10/saving-j

A game I'd really love to translate is Game Arts's Urusei Yatsura for Mega CD, but the lack of in-game subtitles makes it pretty much a nonstarter. :/ At least not until my hacking skills get way better, anyway. awoo.space/media/Vo2lAdTFyLo1g awoo.space/media/ODnyRF24ogFha awoo.space/media/xAbdNB0nbNz5Y awoo.space/media/F4bSKYrIOGu5q

These portraits are stored as 8-bit tiles, easy enough to interpret. This is my attempt at reading the separate palette file. It looks like it's a 15-bit palette in a very simple file, just two bytes per colour index with no header or anything else.

And look at this lovely shiba I met a week ago! Friendly in a very aloof, shiba-ey way; rubbed up against my leg to ask to be pet.

I met a nice cat the other day! A bit nervous and didn’t want me to get close, but was happy to watch me from a distance.

The cafe is playing Pacific?! It makes very good cafe music but it’s so obscure I’m shocked. It’s an album of gentle fusion jazz by Tatsuro Yamashita, Ryuichi Sakamoto and others youtu.be/dSCwoYcp0IY
