Via @automaton-media.com, composer Uematsu: “I’ve never used AI & probably never will. I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself. When you listen to music, the fun is also in discovering the background of the person who created it, right?"

Figured I'd share my GQuuuuuuX finale thoughts (Spoilers!)
I understand the ending in a different manner now and it all comes down to trauma and anguish from Lalah's end and what the scope of hurt can do to one's mind and experiences. To me, GquuuuuuX is about the Wheel of Samsara and Lalah's love.

Much has already been said about some of the shot-for-shot recreations GQuuuuuuX does from Mobile Suit Gundam, especially the very first episode of course. One thing I'm seeing less about is the quoted/repurposed lines, so I edited something together last night that includes those too. Sound on!

Finished Chi / Orb! Brilliant writing, unashamed of tackling ideas as grand as the indomitable human spirit, the communal nature of knowledge, faith & dogma, or the systemic erasure of women, while functioning as an exciting thriller. Plotting so good you can only appreciate it in full retroactively

My 2025 resolution is to learn linocut, and I'm using this fire hydrant manhole I saw in Himeji for practice. So far, I can only say that I have not yet unlocked the knowledge to transfer images with acetone.

It’s so cool that Dr. Stone’s latest episode talks about how calcite was used as an optical compass to aid navigation and mentions the discovery of Icelandic spar in a sunken ship in 2013.

I thought the Loewe Orange Blossom bottle was perfume. It's a home fragrance. It's been hours, and I still smell like a beautifully blossomed orange tree. I do not regret it.
