Really enjoyed my time with HYPERBEAT! Though I'm a bit too sore in the wrist for the harder maps, it really scratched that itch in my brain left behind by osu, so I really hope to see more custom maps in the future

The newest episode of Otherworld mentioned this Alex Colville painting from 1976 that looks eerily like a screenshot from a PlayStation-era video game and I can’t stop thinking about it.

If anyone would be interested in helping transcribe the (mostly Japanese) tables of contents from my scans, please reach out/let me know, thank you! 💛

What I've been particularly enjoying about these Japanese mainframe computing mags is how it helps dispel the idea of mid-century mainframe computing as something that's very (if not exclusively) white (like below)
