New LGR travel vlog! youtu.be/yIwXQicYClw

This is the Knobcon and Vintage Computer Festival Midwest experience! At least as it was for me in 2025. Driving from NC to Illinois, enjoying Chicago, lots of wandering the events themselves, having great food, hanging with YouTubery friends and much more!

WHY DID THEY GENTRIFY THE AUDACITY LOGO
the regular audacity logo on the left (a waveform between two headphones) and the REAL NEW audacity logo on the right (flat style red headphones, where one of the headphones is a half-circle to fit with the rest of musehub's design Thing. It simultaneously looks extremely generic and like a sperm cell is flying out of a semicircle)

Shopping Fry's Like It's 1999 🛒😆

It definitely seems that way.

Based on the available info on the deal, the only logical plan would be to bleed EA dry and then dispose of the husk. However, I'm not sure logic is at play here.

Back in my day, EA bought things and dismantled them, not the other way around

I'm going to start a gambling website, but the only thing you can bet on is After Dark screensavers.

It's nice enough out that I was able to turn off the AC and open up all the windows in the house. My wallet and I are very excited about this. It rained all day, so the fresh air smells amazing.
