Claire L. Evans is a longtime artistic hero of mine, but it took yr rec on whatever podcast that was to finally fire it up. I'm so excited to hear that it ends as well as it begins!!!

I actually played new videogames this year! didn’t just tinker around with ROMs!

#4 should prob be Angeline Era but I’ve only just started it so instead shouts out to my rotation of Trialslikes. getting gold on all current tracks of PGRC is my actual GOTY, I cannot wait for the DLC in 2026.

spending more time with these before calling faves:

Mercy by Armand Hammer (sooo much better than Haram)

Snocaps S/T (gotta see them live)

new Beths & James K (led me to their back catalogs)

Eyes Looking Down by Fiery Medusa (amazing debut, LP2 might be more definitively post-Hiperson)

not every piece can be automated, prob have to rip the records myself. I just need the end product to be a set looping sequence one can dip into & out of, Einstein on the Beach style, rather than a playlist one proceeds thru linearly / on shuffle. someone could certainly build a tool for that!

I want to be able to point at an RYM / Discogs page, scrape that mountain of data, & generate a 24/7 radio station out of it.

welcome back girlie girl

back then I got better rank progress playing Ken reskinned as a goth tgirl than as my main. every SF game has freakishly unloveable action figures for models, so it was nice to at least have that option while hoping for the de-hornified SFV tracksuit skins. mods done broke since then, whomp whomp.

since the last time I played this game with any regularity, I've switched from an xbox elite (easy throw / parry / drive rush macros) to an elves pro 2 (sega style dpad, short travel quiet buttons) so I'm def having to relearn inputs before I can learn a new character (viper was my main in 4:Volt)

i think james should get to break up the band every 5 years at progressively large venues and release films being interviewed by increasingly irrelevant gen x critics. no, the setlist doesn't have to change.

Every detail I find out about this character makes me despise her more
