Ozymandias, All Star
The following is something I wrote the first verse of on Twitter a few years ago and it has stuck in my mind. With Neil C having just dropped a Mouth album yesterday, John and Hank Green wrapping up a certain folly today, and our civilization and/or emperor collapsing as we speak, I now revisit it here in full.

Somebody once told me he happened to behold the
most colossal wreck in his antique land
It was looking kinda sunk just two legs without a trunk
And a sneer on its face in the bare sand
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
A century of rule can end up as nothing
Did it make sense when the sculptor read
The hand that mocked and the heart that fed
So much for you, so much for me, so much mighty work lost to history
We'll never know what it's all for
We'll never amount to much more
Hey now, Ozymandias, you're the king of all kings
Hey now, Pharaoh Rameses, grow your empire, build things
Nothing else remains there
Look upon my worrrks and despai-air
Someday some hunter will stumble through and wonder
at some giant fragment left of this place
He'll say "Yes, I can only guess, who once dwelt in this wilderness"
about our own unrecorded raaace
(Well the years etc.)
Hey now, Ozymandias, you're the king of all kings
Hey now, Pharaoh Rameses, Younger Memnon, Time sings
Nothing else remains there
Look upon my worrrks and despai-air.

@phenokage@snouts.online don’t forget using two DSes to get it from Diamond to a gen 5 game so you can Poké Transporter it into Bank!
@oriole@mastodon.social if you’re near pittsburgh demosplash is a good time!

@gatewave been meaning to try that! Jpop80ss does have plenty of Masayoshi Takanaka, who I’ve also seen mentioned as an outrun influence (I think in a Red Bull Music Academy interview?) Not as blatant a similarity as Naoya Matsuoka though
@gatewave THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏
@gatewave jpop80ss barely has a fraction of what’s in that screenshot 😨

Naoya Matsuoka (1937-2014) is the outrun jazz fusion you've been looking for:

according to an incredibly comprehensive Outrun/Sega AM2 blog Matsuoka's oeuvre literally inspired Outrun's music:

(seriously, click around this blog, a decade+ of fantastic research awaits)
got there via the blogger commenting on this also-interesting Eurogamer article about artifacts discovered while moving Sega's longtime HQ:

AC is turning out exactly as I expected it to.
@oolongstains I can't believe they misspelled "Bules" on the cover
A week before AC, time for the yearly realization that I should have gotten a hotel room

Don’t beat yourself up about your first thought
Your first thought is a product of conditioning
It’s the second thought that matters

More playable non-humans please. I'm sick of "realistic human" being the standard we measure games and their graphics by. We have all this power and we're using it on -that-?
re: SFW furry art
re: Ugh Apple is gonna kill iTunes in the next OSX.
@anthracite Ars claims: "Going forward, Mac users will be able to sync their iOS devices' music libraries in the Mac's Finder." Looking forward to hearing how that supports dumb playlists, let alone smart ones.
@Felthry it’s replies telling you “it’s wolves all the way down” all the way down
Religion
@Azure “Omnibenevolence” is my new favorite word.
@Felthry same goes for GB/GBC virtual console games - with a 3D GB/GBC to boot!
@thingywott thanks! I'll probably try messaging the admin if this doesn't go anywhere. found some abandoned bug reports that looked similar on the mastodon github, so it might not be specifically a problem with awoo.space...
