Electrical engineering and computer engineering, "although there are significant differences between them, we have concluded that there are enough similarities in the issues to which they give rise to justify a common treatment." That's the level of understanding about music studies this paper has.

Apple experts divide time into “before Honeycrisp” and “after Honeycrisp,” and apples have never tasted so good

Primetime. Wowowow. The lighting was gorgeous. The timbres on the soundtrack were also stunning - sat in my seat just like wow, these sounds give me joy.

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

I'm not totally sold on the art design in the new Ocarina of Time but there's some truth to this. The lack of vocabulary people seem to have for describing its style is a shame. I think we should generally refrain from insulting any human made art design as "AI" especially.

Untitled, Goose Game. Not coin-operated, but too good to not share.

A carnival style rolling ball game featuring a goose that players threw balls into to score points.

Things I remember: confused by news as I was leaving for school, more confused when the teachers gathered us all to try to talk about it (bless them, seriously), sent home from school early... and bought a tiny lizard plush from the neighborhood convenience store, which I still have

Madlolz @eightbitaria.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Being constantly surrounded by younger folks who do not remember that day or were not even alive yet is... strange. That day is just not a part of their existence. I'm not sure if that's a blessing or a curse.

Madlolz @eightbitaria.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This day 25 years ago is still one of my strongest core memories. It was confusing. And horrifying. And I did not wholly understand then what people were saying and how that would impact others. Remembering and mourning the world of before is a strange weight to bear.

Any tips on teaching my undergrads how to read? Because most of them are not engaging with any assigned readings and I truly wonder if they do not know how. And I'm talking like. Less than 10 pages, materials designed for undergrads specifically.

Husband is playing FFV and has finally gotten to the final battle. The spritework on bosses like exdeath and Kefka is so od extravagant in ways modern ff games have failed to recapture. Even safer sephiroth is a let down.

The opening of the Zelda Direct is incredible. Starting with acoustic music? And the visual/aural progression of the texture? Absolute Cinema. Anyhow music is so important to this series. It warms my cold heart that Nintendo recognizes that.

Coyote vs. ACME was so worth it. Really strong core themes and genuinely silly. The thing I didn't like? Shockingly, the soundtrack. There were some excellent moments, and as expected, lots of appropriate mickey-mousing, but at times the orchestral underscore just felt... generic.
