    I read the whole thing and I wasn’t 100% what the point was beyond the title. I still feel like responding with “it always has been.”

    I guess it’s that they like to give new websites she finds the benefit of the doubt for the off chance that she might gain new knowledge about a subject, but:

    • people perpetuate misinformation to make a quick buck off as revenue

    • LLMs make the problem even worse

    • they feel powerless to do anything about it

    None of which is an excitingly new revelation if you have been paying attention for the last decade or so.

    But as someone looking for a copy of Phantasy Star, I found out there’s a reprint of it on Genesis thanks to this blog, so that’s good! Now to see if they’re telling the truth…




  • This is probably why I can’t like K-Pop. I really think a lot of them are great singers and dancers but it’s such a creepy, hyper-capitalist, lookism-riddled medium. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone talk about the intricacy or the artistry in the messaging of their songs or music (do any of them even play instruments? not that that’s a requirement). They only ever mention general things like they sing well, they dance well, they speak so many languages, etc.


  • Damn, I haven’t heard of High and Mighty Color in such a long time. They did an anime OP right? Can’t remember for what though… The singer is my cousin’s cousin. Not to sound like a creep, but she was incredibly pretty and charismatic when I had the chance to meet her.


  • I commend people who can genuinely like music they don’t understand the words to. Lyrics are such an important part of my enjoying of music because it evokes much more emotion than just the melody. So as someone who grew up speaking Japanese and English, US, UK, CA, JA songs are my favourites. I can’t enjoy French or German songs because I only understand at a surface level. I do enjoy orchestral music if it’s attached to some experience I’ve had like movies, anime, or videogame (I listen to the PSO: BB OST all the time because I spent thousands of hours playing that game in high school).
