Old Man Terrapin stood blinking sleepily, when Rooster came with a yell: “Good morning!” called he, a little too loud, for Terrapin hid in his shell. Animated in @procreate.

One of my favorite pieces on this whole soundtrack by @michaelkirbyward.bsky.social is this gorgeous track at the end of Eternia. It's easy to miss in-game because it only plays in this room *after* you've done what you need to do here, but what a treat if you stay a while #gameaudio #vgm

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I dont think it can be overstated just how good the Mario Kart World soundtrack is. These are some of the most impressive arrangements and performances Nintendo has ever produced. Already easily one of the greatest albums in gaming history!
