We did it gamers! AC8 is really good, especially during it's second half. Recency bias be damned, this is my 2nd favorite AC after 5.

These are 3 achivement notifications from Steam indicating that I beat Ace Combat 8's campaign mode

This image popped into my head a while back and I just remembered it today so here you go

Three panels. First is a one-handed sword labelled "einhänder." Second is a two-handed sword labelled "zweihänder." Third is an N64 controller labelled "dreihänder."

Echoing this. Genuinely an unreal experience from beginning to end. I'm still thinking about Big Walk while at my chemo appointments because of how calm the game made me. Thank you @househouse.com for giving me a small glimmer of what feels like normalcy.

To the @househouse.com dev that invaded our bigwalk, I want to thank you for turning what was already a great experience to something we wont forget. A lot of us in that group have been going through it. One through chemo, this was my darkest month in a decade, we'll remember this forever. Thank you

dang Georgie boy, you were kinda spitting with this one. Primarily more with the leader-worship then so much the war part, but still.

An excerpt from George Orwell's 1984. The highlighted bit on the page reads: "what was more important was a sexual privation induced hysteria, which was desirable because it could be transformed into war-fever and leader worship."

20 years ago today, at 11:15 PM EST, an important milestone in VGMdb history was reached: our first album page was submitted. Full post: vgmdb.net/forums/showt...

20 years ago today, at 11:15 PM EST, an important milestone in VGMdb history was reached: our first album page was submitted. It was technically the third album page, but the first two pages were database tests that were deleted. I chose the Final Fantasy VII Original Soundtrack because it was a favorite of mine, but it is also a fitting tribute to the impact that this soundtrack had in inspiring new game music fans. Of course, at that time, we were an experimental special project on Gamingforce Audio, and it would be a little more than a year before we relaunched as VGMdb.

It is interesting to reflect back over the last two decades, and examine how much our coverage has matured. Our scope broadened to include animation around 2009, as we re-branded to "The Music of Visual Arts and Games." The scope of our coverage would see further adjustment over the years, and while this has posed challenges at times, our central pillar has been and always will be game music. In parallel to this, our ontology has become steadily more detailed as we added a flexible artist crediting system that really glues together the album, product, and publisher pages.

There are more than 158,000 album pages on VGMdb, spanning over 3 million individual tracks, and almost as many artist credit links. It would not have been possible to catalog all of this information without the help of public editors, and in fact, there are 6161 individual accounts that have submitted data to VGMdb. We are eternally thankful for all of your contributions, and more so for being patient during the evolution of our more stringent requirements for sourcing and accuracy.

So, as we near our official 20th anniversary, we at VGMdb are excited about the future. There are some things moving behind the scenes that we are looking forward to sharing with you soon.

-- Secret Squirrel, VGMdb Co-Founder

let danny help you reach that third formless jhāna by empting that head of yours, like he did for me.

It's the Tak oc with his head empty. Drawn by @tigerstooth.bsky.social

It's the meme referrecing the third formless jhana. Daisoujou from Shin Megami Tensei asks Jack Frost (also from SMT) what they're thinking about. Jack responds with "oh...nothing". Daisoujou then points out that it's remarkable that jack has attained the third formless jhāna. You can look up what that truly means, I ain't a buddhist.

16/20 (#1: 7/10, #2: 9/10). Between test 1 & 2 it teaches you some techniques that I assume are well known, but one I didn't was that Google and OpenAI have SynthID that can tell you if they generated said image. Good refresher on detecting AI but you should take the test anywaay to help them out.
