touchHLE is such a funny software project at a technical level i'll never not be ridiculously proud of it

i was puzzled as to what the etymology of the japanese word 蜃気楼 (shinkirō, meaning “mirage”) could be. why did it begin with 蜃 which supposedly means “clam” but doesn't appear in other words?

it turns out that 蜃 in chinese mythology is a clam monster that creates mirages!

VISUAL SUPER PRODUCT

what is the most guitar. is it the telecaster or the stratocaster?

thank you for asking. yes

hikaris want one thing and it's disgusting (j-rock with repetitive looper pedal-y riffs and bright melodic vocal lines that have a certain wistful feeling of longing)

a little hypomania never hurt anyone. feeling bad about life? try hypomania today. you will surely not regret hypomania

potentially interesting fact: my favourite preset on the zoom ms-80ir+ ampsim pedal currently is the “white canvas”. this isn't a model of a real amp, it's a zoom original that's, as the name alludes to, meant to give a fairly clean blank canvas tone to showcase pedals

i love the guitar. i fear i love it too much. i must surely challenge myself and build skill with this thing, but i get so much enjoyment out of gently arpeggiating a very simple chord (one string open, the rest barred) and slowly modifying it

oomf sent me the link to the music video for “Car Bomb - Dissect Yourself” and beyond being an interesting piece of music, man i am in love with these visuals, frenetic demoscene-core shit, just wonderful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA5eIAfutYU
