This is just the latest of a barrage of instances whereupon justice does not compromise at all, regardless of circumstance or side, and moreso upholds the rights of the truly hapless, as well as those who continually campaign for humanity’s good, over those who campaign only for themselves and their ill-gotten wealth and power.

Modular synthesis, archiving, lost media, and most of all, rhythm game lore.

Recently tried out vivid/statis on PC (via my older sister’s (now my younger bro’s) laptop) since last week, even though I’m not that much of a rhythm game enthusiasts, speaking as a young adult keen on exploration and slow-paced music in video games.

For what it’s worth, it just feels and plays quite good, with only four keys to smash and hold note bars to (much like Stepmania and other related RGs, but with the addition of bumper bars), as well as a couple of modes and storyline beats to try and dive deep into, including the tough-as-nails, one-miss-and-you-fail Ultimate mode. And its palette of featured songs are a worthwhile mention, ranging from the slow-paced to the absolute hardcore banger type. And this week, I just scored my first FC on Luminaria (Opening 1), and witnessed the game’s first edition of their tournament DUALIZED ASCENSIA unfold, from start to finish. Reeked of adrenaline-fueled fun and competition.

That being said, playing through my way on this game deffo improved on my physical reflexes and typing speed quite a bit, even though I get grades lower than A on certain harder charts. I guess we will see if I can achieve my first V grade and complete Class 1 in Course Mode after a couple more rounds of practice and studying Youtube plays of some of those aforementioned charts.

Here, too. My feed’s all about architecture, random ramblings, things of nature, music, and of course, Fediverse stuff.

I feel it pleasant to just curate that raftbox of mine to whatever interests I actively do have at the moment, without the vitriolic banter and doomscrolling most other social media platforms have harbored as of late.

Do they whistle around and call friends when in battle?

That alone made me call to mind this rather poignant and moving Dream SMP fansong called “Vantage” by Halfy & Winks (and also a few hundred more teenage and adult musicians and choir tryouts), of which its lyrics could also apply to what’s happening to us, not just in Gaza, but also in Ukraine, and in South Sudan, etc…

And now, it’s not just news-producing sites; a while ago, I tried to look for the dimensions for the toilet and bath sections for a typical Filipino home, and lo and behold, two identical GAI cobblin’ sites appeared on top of the search results!

For me, my expertise would center around one or two interests at one time, depending on the context: music, writing, architecture, history, visual arts, and most of all, fan fiction.
