I’m so old I remember publishers thinking an anime-style cover wouldn’t sell

Seeing a bunch of streamers playing Chrono Trigger lately made me consider a replay. And after doing some reading on the versions that are available today, I’ve decided on this one

Pop quiz: what song is playing? Wrong. It's 奏 (Kanade). Apple updated the MiniPlayer in macOS 26.2 to only show the controls and track/album name on mouseover. (They still found room to permanently show the button for their AI music fade that ruins songs.)

Finally sat down to do a proper listen of Tokoyami Towa’s new album SHIN and imagine my surprise when there’s a secret re-recording of FACT on track 11. Not anywhere to be seen on any track listing or digital release. Another victory for physical media #常闇トワ #常闇トワ2nd

Photo of the limited edition of SHIN opened up, displaying the CD carrier and booklet, cardboard holder for the included acrylic keychain, the large cardboard print of the cover art, and the special surround sleeve.

I don't know whether to blame Apple Music or Kamitsubaki/Phenomenon for the auto-Romanization of artist names, but this sucks

I feel kinda lost. What am I going to do now. I can’t just… stop… playing Silksong. I’ll load up my save and start searching for the next area,

I know it's going to be deleted but I'd love to know some technical details of what this did to YouTube's servers #KizunaAI

Three covers of the same song in a row might be a new record for Vtubers unwittingly converging on the same thing

I may have a pattern when it comes to whom I deem notifications something worth getting every time

YouTube push notifications for Dooby (and Henya), Maid Mint, and Nimi Nightmare

Re-reading “So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish” and damn if the “democracy” Douglas Adams writes about 40 years ago isn’t just as apt today

I don’t listen to music on YouTube regularly so the total numbers are low, but げシュータルト by KAF feels right, I loved the MV
