Folks seem to like the PS2-style menu transitions I made for this one, so here's 20 uninterrupted seconds of the menu. It was fun to make, and surprisingly easy. Just a bunch of layers made in photoshop and assembled and animated in Premiere with some simple effects and key framing.

Even if you're not familiar with this channel/community, I recommend watching this because the lineup is SO chock full of cool-looking stuff. Did you know that Kira has a new game out with a soundtrack by ThorHighHeels? I sure didn't! I gotta play that ASAP!

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's excess is as unmistakable as it is endearing. A moving, messy journey that accumulates feeling through its best and, more importantly, its most tedious episodes. I love this game, and I'd love it if you checked this out! medium.com/@abrambuehne...

I'm so sick of CDRomance hosting machine-translated fan patches
Look I’m just saying, if y’all need helping hands for the September review slate, your girl here knows a thing or two about these “video-games”
Hi, unsure who all will see this but: I'm the lead of the original translation project for this. Recently, the original team has come together to pick this project back up, as it was left VERY incomplete. In ALL aspects. Please, be aware that this release does not represent our complete efforts.

Without fail, in every comments section of a live set recording, there are oldheads upset to learn that grind bands like Napalm Death (or crust bands, hardcore bands, etc) are anarchist/socialist/anti-fascist.
The first grindcore band at the Tiny Desk HAD to be the founding fathers. Circle up, y'all, I brought freaking NAPALM DEATH to the Desk @npr.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=e81L...
