My progress on Charles-Valentin Alkan prelude in D-flat major Op. 31, No. 3 "Dans le genre ancien." Any and all constructive criticism is welcome. There is definitely room to improve, but I think it's a good start. youtu.be/45xQuPSQLz4?...
The Oklahoma City Thunder have two players on their team named Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams. That's not confusing at all!

Well, I don't have a Switch 2, but I do have a GameCube and the first Kirby Air Ride game, so that still counts for something, right?
BTW, Top Ride is such a fun mode to play!

Good news: recorded my next episode of Let's Play Crystalis for NES! Bad news: I died right before getting the item I needed at the end of a long dungeon, and I have to redo it all next episode. You live and learn! Should have it uploaded tomorrow.

I try not to share personal struggles often, but things have been difficult for all three of us lately (me, wife, kiddo). Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, please be kind and try to improve the world around you, and remember that you never know the invisible battles people fight.

Of all the awful things Trump has said and done, "Quiet, piggy!" is especially angering.

Last night was my third annual Halo 2 LAN party! We even got a little Bomberman again this year, too (PS1 instead of Saturn this timr). Still a ton of fun! It is nice to relive the 2000's every once in a while. I hope to do this again over the sunmer. Once a year isn't enough!

Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

I have urge to do another playthrough of Final Fantasy 1... This time, on the PS1. Maybe I could figure out Twitch and stream it there.

I really hope Victor Wembanyama stays healthy. He is just unfairly tall and good. And he has a great mentality, too!

Kirby Air Riders is the first thing to make me kinda wish I had a Switch 2. It looks like it is going to be incredible - probably much better than Mario Kart World.

I am not telling people not to say it. Perhaps I am overthinking it and that word is not harmful to use. I am just reminding people of how that term used to be used and that I personally don't feel right saying it myself because of that. That's all.
Before Among Us became popular, the term "sus" (short for "suspicious") was used in a homophobic manner by straight people to suggest that something someone said or did seemed "gay" to them. I am not sure if Among Us has fully changed that or not, but I still would feel very icky saying it.

There's a funny video of Joplin's The Entertainer in whole tones from TikTok or Reels or Shorts or something, and I can't find it anymore. So sad.
