incredibly good write-up of not just the album but of how our musical tastes evolve during our youth. i see so much of myself in the writing, in describing a curiosity for exploring new music using through-lines between albums, artists, and musicians

I think anyone who enjoys using genAI is not getting enough enrichment from like... life itself. It's like preferring to eat chicken nuggets over a friend's home-cooked meal because you never expanded your palate.

Not bad! Beyond having lived most of my life in Texas, I also wonder how growing up in a deaf household shaped my dialect 🤔

'Gone To Earth isn’t simply soothing because, for all its beauty, it has an unsettling, unmooring quality which, prefiguring the post rock of the unknowable future, derives from dismantling conventional practices and presumptions.'

You're a vertical shooter. Translating the entirety of the first Darius collection was a job that took me two days and cost Taito or whoever footed my bill like $500 back in the day. If you wanna save money, just don't hire generalist agencies where like half the fee is pure profit margins lol

So glad this looks like a straightforward port with presentation and gameplay QOL enhancements. but why couldn't it have been a collection with Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia 😭

I’m working late and listening to my husband and daughter playing #FFXIV. Her room is to the left of my office and my husbands office is to the right of mine. They are shouting the names of the spells and weapon skills they’re using like they’re in an anime
