The Problem/The Solution

I always thought emoji were ugly. I think it's time for me to go back to emoticons :)

Thank goodness for MIDI retrospective record! For the hundredth time I just played something kinda awesome and completely flopped when I tried to remember/play it again. But it was saved thanks to this feature. So glad it's available in both Cubase and Live.

I stopped doing myDuolingo and have learned that they have a multi-pronged nagging strategy for their reminders including anger, guilt trips, and passive aggressive comments. I wonder if they collect data about which methods individual users respond to.

Am I the only one who was sent here?

Nope, they are going to be outsourced so c-suite can spin it as a “new vision for a global future” instead of backpedaling on a trillion dollar mistake

Love that cab! Did you happen to see if Galaxy Force and Starblade were back up and running?

Can’t wait to play that Expedition 77

That cover art is so good

Anyone out here have recs for an alternative?

But even if Adam Sessler didn’t (help) kill Final Fantasy, the extent to which SE looked west toward EverQuest, then Call of Duty, then Witcher 3 for inspiration met with…let’s say uneven results

“Identity crisis” is spot on. I sometimes wonder to what extent the post-90’s budget ballooning and internationalization of FF lead to SE paying attention to the nonstop derision of “dated” JRPG mechanics in American game journalism in the 2000’s.

I have preserved a set of demo songs from the amazing Yamaha SY-77 FM synthesizer that didn't seem to be available anywhere on the internet. youtu.be/JNcRMu1aGIM?...

Hajime Sorayama created the logo for the new Ghost in the Shell anime. Could that music be Yoko Kanno? youtu.be/rk27MbUoBQ8?...

Why does Siri light up when I say するthat does not sound the same

Anyone else notice the sound design in Duolingo going hard over the last few months?

This reminds me of when I used to work at Circuit City in the mid 2000’s- an older customer came in who could only use a (wired) mouse rotated 180 degrees, buttons under her palm, so each movement axis was reversed. Said she taught herself to use it that way and refused to change.
