I think I remember making some in university. Probably with vodka. That was … oh shit… years ago.

It’s a real-life thing. Look at any comedic actor from the past fifty years, and then image search up a picture of their wife. The discrepancy in physical attractiveness is almost always glaring. Humor (and money) is attractive.
It’s music! Screens are hardly a necessity. Many electronic producers these days are going “DAWless”. Mind you, dedicated hardware has come a long way. Things like Elektron’s Digitakt and Synthstrom Audible’s Deluge (and a bunch of other options) verge on being hardware DAWs themselves.
If you do everything via VST in DAW, then yes, you want lots of screen space. I downsized to 1 monitor recently, and I really miss the second when I’m in DAW.
I’m an Android user contemplating moving to Apple because of audio applications. Android’s audio implementation was absolute garbage for years and years, and as a result, all of the good, mobile audio production software is for iOS. Android is finally catching up in terms of latency and whatever else, but the software side is still a total shitshow.
It’s 30 degrees and I live in a “miserable” humidity area. If I tried to run outside, I’d end up in the hospital. I walk to the gym anyway.
The music though!
Ahh yes, definitely. I should have said that isn’t strictly a traditional shmup. Bangai O definitely has many elements of shmups, but the level design and many of the mechanics are quite unique to it.
I actually played a bunch of that Star Wars vector arcade game at my local bowling alley. Yes, I am old…
Starfox never did it for me like Space Harrier. I’m not sure why. The primitive 3D maybe. Space Harrier creature design is just plain bizarre and intriguing.
I love Space Harrier. There are a handful of other third-person, on-rails shooters (Sin and Punishment), but nothing recent that I’m aware of.
Also, Bangai O on Nintendo DS is insanely fun. I can’t think of any other games where slowdown is a necessary mechanic.
Whoa! That’s crazy! I had no idea. I just tried to take a picture of the moon with my phone since someone told me my phone could do it. Hmm. I’ve taken a few. I should compare.
I’d be impressed considering I took that picture myself. I’m sure there’s some filter stuff going on that the camera app isn’t entirely transparent about, though.
I am not a Samsung fanboy by any means, but there’s no denying the cameras are fantastic: https://photos.app.goo.gl/4JwmReBsskSYNfzF9 was taken with a Galaxy s23 Ultra.
Oh ho. After some responses to this that Samsung was faking these, I went through some of my moon photos, and it certainly does look like there’s a little more than just filtering going on. I added two images that I took back-to-back to the album. You can see that in one, the phone didn’t recognize the moon as the moon because I didn’t get enough of it in frame. What is in the frame is completely washed out with little detail. The one where it did recognize it, the detail is almost absurd. Sheesh! Disappointing. I might just go third-party camera app. Who knows what this thing is doing to my pictures.
Finally my synthesizer hobby pays off!
Sexy Parodius is a bit sketchy, yes. But, it’s easily the most-fun shmup I’ve ever played. The music is fantastic, too. I’ve managed to 1cc the game, but I’ve never beaten the bonus stage which is just so ridiculously difficult, I question whether it’s even possible without a very specific strategy or something.
Unfortunately, the best version is the arcade one, and MAME doesn’t do the best job with it. Still playable, though.
Fantastic food. Entirely too rapey.
Pop quiz: four of the top five most anticipated games are Doom, Gears of War, Perfect Dark, and Assassin’s Creed: what year is it?
Soju is the same thing as what we used to call “fortified” wine like Great White. It lures you in with 20% alcohol being sneaky enough to not immediately buzz you like liquor which then lowers your guard until suddenly you’re black-out drunk singing 80s Nami songs in the nearest noraebang. OH YEONG WON HAN CHINGU! OH HAENGBOK HAN MAEUM! OH JEUL GEO EUN INSAENG! YEAH!
My older sister was supposed to get my name, but she was a she. It would have been fairly unique at her age. I came along five years later and got it at the height of its popularity, as a result there were three of us in my grade six class.
I only pirate music and books anymore. I do consume it all. Well, most of it. Sometimes I’ll download a series of books and not jive with the first one or something. The music always gets listened to. More than once, too! I’m easy to please. Or I have good taste.
