@picardtips Otherwise we'll have to take the Enterprise and Voyage-her over to Deep Space Nine, where we may make a Discovery on the Lower Decks which uncovers a Strange New World.

I'm looking for some inexpensive production music that sounds believably like it's from the 1980s. There's a lot of free / cheap synthwave stuff out there that has an 80s vibe, but nothing that genuinely sounds like it could've come from the era. Anyone have any pointers on where to look? Boosts welcome.

@HauntedOwlbear He got around, that Ed

Are there any shows / films / other fiction about time travel that actually make sense?
Whenever I come across time travel, it's either doing mental gymnastics with itself to explain how everything works (e.g. Doctor Who and "the rules"), or it just doesn't bother and nothing has any consequence (e.g. Crash Bandicoot 3).

@HauntedOwlbear @MichaelKlamerus See, I would be interested in that - I've just heard very polarising reviews of Nexfcloud, and it doesn't seem like there's a decent equivalent. Which I can kind of understand - it's a pretty complex piece of software.
Wonder if there's a specific service for it. I wouldn't mind using a web-based reader on my PC, but I prefer having an app on mobile.

@MichaelKlamerus The issue I have is that I'd like one that can sync between devices. And it probably exists, I just haven't had the opportunity to investigate properly

Friends! I am excited to announce a little thing I've had in mind for ages, and I'm finally doing:

The Stickfigure Film Festival!

This is a little community project centred around making fun little animations in Pivot Stickfigure Animator. All are welcome, and embellishments are totally allowed!

Deadline is December 1st, at which point I'll collate the submissions and do a screening live on my Twitch channel.

All the details are here on my website! https://brokencirc.us/filmfestival2

@multiverseofbadness They wanted big lots of big lots?

@HauntedOwlbear Which game is this? Sounds like fun!

@multiverseofbadness I'd probably suggest a self-hosted solution, but that depends if you have something set up for that.

@multiverseofbadness This is excellent news. Found a few places selling them in the UK as well... may have to keep an eye out

@multiverseofbadness ...I want it.

@HauntedOwlbear ListenBrainz might be the way to go - https://listenbrainz.org/
It's part of the same project as MusicBrainz, and their about page talks about being open and community-based, with a link to their Git repo.

@HauntedOwlbear In 2011, in an effort to save drive space on my MP3 player, I encoded all my music as 45kbps Vorbis files. Desperate times.

@HauntedOwlbear What a cool guy. I should watch the show sometime.

@HauntedOwlbear I seem to remember you can find a pair of high heels in Symphony of the Night. (Or perhaps I just joked that they were heels because let's face it, Alucard seems the sort)

@HauntedOwlbear ffs.
I assume that's where the current "ideology in software" discourse stems from

@HauntedOwlbear Yeah... unfortunately. I'm using out hope for Servo and Ladybird, but they're going to be a long time coming yet.

@HauntedOwlbear Falkon is quite nice too

I have a plan in the back of my mind to build myself an arcade cabinet. I'd like to have it modelled after the Tempest machine - quite enjoy the angular aesthetic.

Only problem... no idea where it'd go
