i've just been made aware there's a java mobile port of the first lumines and this is such a deeply goofy and unserious way to listen to Shake Ya Body (doesn't midi have a whistle why the god awful whistle replacement???)

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Very, very much still enjoying Lumines Arise this week. Getting to enjoy it on a comfy gamepad & an 120hz screen is such a treat.

Very grateful to the folks behind the game & the folks behind Crossover on macOS. Cheers, folks!
