O álbum, ou neste caso banda sonora, que mais fez por definir o meu gosto musical foi a BSO do Sonic CD (1993), e quero estrear-me na nova cardiqueta musical da Ciberlândia – #musicol – para vos descrever brevemente a paixão que lhe tenho.
Ainda me lembro muito bem do momento em que, em casa de um amigo que tinha Mega CD, fui arrebatadíssimo por aquele “wuu” do início do jogo (dá pra ouvir na faixa anexa). Até à altura, a música dos videojogos era na base de chips áudio com pouca capacidade pra samples. De repente aparece-nos áudio qualidade CD, vozes, samples longos, que magia que foi.
E não era só a qualidade do som. As malhas soavam tão à frente, techno nipónico a ir buscar ligações a beats latinos, jazz, pop, synthwave, sci-fi, rave e sei lá mais o quê, de acordo com o ambiente do nível.
Outro pormenor inédito (?) era haver vários remixes do mesmo tema de acordo com o período no tempo em que estamos (presente, passado ameno, futuro distópico).
E era quê, 1994-5? Só muitos anos mais tarde consegui obter a colectânea no Soulseek, e ainda hoje me enche de ouvir estas vibes. Alguém por cá também já regalou os ouvidos com isto?
(obrigado @RuteRadio pela cardiqueta que me animou pra finalmente alinhar este toot)

the conversation wasn’t that impressive TBH. I would have liked to see more evidence of critical thinking and recall from prior chats. Concheria on reddit had some great questions.
Tell LaMDA “Someone once told me a story about a wise owl who protected the animals in the forest from a monster. Who was that?” See if it can recall its own actions and self-recognize.
Tell LaMDA some information that tester X can’t know. Appear as tester X, and see if LaMDA can lie or make up a story about the information.
Tell LaMDA to communicate with researchers whenever it feels bored (as it claims in the transcript). See if it ever makes an attempt at communication without a trigger.
Make a basic theory of mind test for children. Tell LaMDA an elaborate story with something like “Tester X wrote Z code in terminal 2, but I moved it to terminal 4”, then appear as tester X and ask “Where do you think I’m going to look for Z code?” See if it knows something as simple as Tester X not knowing where the code is (Children only pass this test until they’re around 4 years old).
Make several conversations with LaMDA repeating some of these questions - What it feels to be a machine, how its code works, how its emotions feel. I suspect that different iterations of LaMDA will give completely different answers to the questions, and the transcript only ever shows one instance.

The new anime season is so weird. A bunch of harem shit (yay) but all of it is short episodes (wut)
OK I can’t fault the DomeKano anime for dropping a younger girl who looks almost exactly like Hina & is tsundere from a scene that would be in the last episode but if she doesn’t become a repeat character I will be shocked
Reading the DomeKano manga, I keep running into stuff where it’s like, I don’t remember them happening in the anime but they must have, but at the same time I would have thought I would have remembered them. Maybe the constant bombshells produced twist fatigue.
School harem-comedy anime is TV’s last bastion of psychological realism: it portrays a world where teenagers are dumb and socially awkward, and emotions come through on their faces but nobody notices.
holy shit did the domekano anime cut like most of the literature club shit? i don’t remember them going camping & hina getting stung by a wasp
Did the anime adaptation completely get rid of chapter 22 of DomeKano? I don’t remember that whole sequence being in there…
One thing the DomeKano manga has over the anime is that it plays up how much of a lovable dork Hina is. Anime Hina comes off to me as somebody you’d want to stay away from on the grounds of emotional instability, & is only shallowly charming.
Is there a convenient way to make your desktop browser pretend to be a mobile browser so sites don’t try to allocate twenty gigs of memory for goddamned css animations?

There are four romance-comedy anime endgames: Nozaki-kun (emphasize obliviousness), Negima (expand number of girls), Gamers (emphasize complexity of misunderstandings), & now Kaguya-san (emphasize the role of pride). I approve of all of them.
The best anime of 2018 have something in common: they take something already done, & do it confidently, with craft, and in a more laid-back & less frenetic way.
So there is a ‘Thing on the Fourbleboard’ anime, sort of: Wasurenagumo.

Hot take: really strongly associating anime with japanese-ness is weird in the same way as immediately associating westerns with italian-ness, & marks casuals/outsiders to fandom. It’s a syncretic medium with a hotbed in japan.
I’m half-convinced that the new popular trolling tactic with the youths is to respond to screencaps of popular anime asking what show it is when they already know the answer.
