Happy Teto Tuesday
GameCube has a little known Network Configuration screen accessible via exactly one Japan-only game (Homeland, my beloved). Like the GC's main menu music, it sounds like it might be a slowed down version of some other tune, so here it is at 16x. Not ringing any bells for me, can anyone identify it?
art of a computer desktop screen, with the emulator Visual Boy Advance open in a window in the middle. it displays a completely black screen, apart from white text in the center that reads "END?". speech bubbles are coming from the window, saying "We sure had a lot of fun, didn't we?" "Bye." "I wish we could always be together." "*giggle* That was fun!" "Goodbye." "Thanks." "Thanks for everything." "Let's meet again sometime. We can meet as many times as we want." the desktop background is the only thing not drawn, a heavily edited photograph of a field of sunflowers. in the corner, the date reads april 25th, 2012. that was the day I finished mother 3 for the first time.
i love you, too
an illustration of lucas from mother 3 on tanetane island. he is clutching a mushroom, which has a bite taken out of it, and crying from multi-colored eyes. a false claus, smiling, is emerging from a mailbox and looming over lucas. in the background are kumatora, duster, and boney, standing still with their faces scribbled out.
made for an unfinished zine. still probably one of my favorite illustrations ive done (2022)
first three panels of a grayscale mother 3 comic. kumatora, duster, and lucas are all sitting on the grass. kumatora begins "Hey Lucas, tell me something." in the second panel she continues "What are you doing all this for? Do we have anything left that's worth protecting?" the third panel shows the broken body of a flying mouse. "After this is over, will there even be anyone left who deserves the new world?"
duster turns to kumatora and says "Kumatora, that's not fair." kumatora counters "I don't care. I want to hear it from Lucas. He's the smartest one here and you know it." Lucas, with his legs slung over a sleeping boney, is letting a caterpillar crawl onto his finger as he responds "I guess...."
"it's the possibility that the future could be better." Lucas continues, observing the caterpillar closely. kumatora, still discouraged, holds her face in her hands and says "That's a pretty flimsy hope." Lucas looks off into the distance and responds "Yeah, I guess so." around him, two butterflies flutter by.
"at some point, the world wound up destroyed. naturally, it was humans who destroyed it."

amazing how readily i can guess which game this is referring to (mother 3 my beloved)
so trainer tell me. how does this make you feel (the potion tachyon is holding and not the fact that they are 2 inches apart) civic moves to be on top of tachyon 'ill show you' and then she passes out sleep style bc the potion that turns you gay only has a small window of effect
yes, guinea pig, drink this potion that turns you GAY π§ͺ π

still absolutely nuts to me that this and the cbt soundclown were separated by a distance of just one year and two birthdays
also obligatory shoutout to @rj.dcellgames.com for the cover art. i wonder if i've done anything else with him in the past ten years. i wonder if i have anything coming soon that i've done with him
i was 19 when Anew, Again came out.... i spent a lot of my teenage years dicking around and constantly experimenting with my music, and while that led to its own kind of magic, there's something really heartwarming about listening back to this and it actually still sounding like something i made
i got so swept up in everything going on the past couple days i forgot to mention it's also been ten years since the first jamie paige release!!!!!!! old enough that the original album description on bandcamp mentioned Skype, of all things jamiepaige.bandcamp.com/album/anew-a...

If Blockbuster Video had thought they could make $5 by selling the list of everyone who rented Schlinder's List to the KKK they would've done it in a second. It's not like evil corporations didn't exist back then!
Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history
is the "vibe coding" also why blusky tabs get slower and slower in firefox, to the point where you have noticable lag when typing?

weird OS i just installed? #azumangadaioh
i will grant, it's also the case that your average law-abiding japanese normie will be influenced, at least to an extent, by that way of thinking. yet thinking of japan as a monolith in this regard is just plain silly, not to mention amazingly counterproductive, re: actual preservation efforts
a core tenet of japanese nationalism is being militantly pro-copyright, to feel superior to the chinese (and now, apparently, also to us westerners, lol). twitter in the best of days had a disproportionately large number of users with that mindset, and it certainly hasn't gone down in recent years
i doubt anyone who has found their way into following me (especially on this site lol) needs any of this explained to them, but just in case it's helpful to someone:
