@fluffy that's...actually useful to me. thank you! that might unblock me.

@fluffy I did a lot of Karaoke while in Japan, but it was only for my friends ("Karaoke Box.")

Mostly, I don't think in words, and I can't understand lyrics in songs - some sort of neurological deficit in audio processing. I need to listen to them lots and lots and lots and have a lyrics sheet to force myself to hear them....except for e.g. folk music or singer-songwriter-acoustic-guitar where the accompaniment doesn't get in the way.

So I guess my priority hasn't been lyrics? Kinda.

@scearley wiht my astigmatism it looks like a tasty salad! or maybe miso soup.

@fluffy i haven't sung in a song since i was a teen. maybe my next album will have some vocals. i dunno. pretty self-conscious about that sorta thing.

@fluffy wow, they really don't know those terms?!

@js0000 hey, is that you on the latest album? with another suite of songs? I have it up to listen to later today.

@matt hi! :) nice to be seen. you as well!

There's so many interesting handheld consoles out there already that are interesting. example: https://www.clockworkpi.com/

I wish this thing was less "art project" and more "open platform," like you. Or at least that you could send it back after the 12 games are done for recycling and refund. Or really anything that doesn't reek of conspicuous consumption, aggressive disregard for anyone outside the target market, or negative ecological impact.

@matt i think they know their target market and don't actually give a rat's ass about anyone else

at least, that's "panic" to me. everything wrong about mac children in 2019 and everything that's gone wrong in portland, OR can be found in these tedious twats

but that's just my $0.02 ;) i could be full of shit too

@matt they haven't even released HW specs yet.

Xu Lizhi (许立志)'s poetry deeply moved me. He was a Foxconn worker who committed suicide 5 years ago.

Have you read any?

A local musician (Njo Kong Kie) turned this into a stage presentation + piano interpretation, which was my initial exposure:

Here's some rehearsal footage.

I greatly admire and appreciate this talent, envy the motivation, but do not desire the oppression he expressed.

:awoo:

communications will be once again what it was in the beginning,

the word moving over the face of the deep,

over the face of God,

who now,

instead of wanting to talk,

is tired of listening.

When man goes collectively mad from downloading all the mental messages in the air,

when there's no trees left,

'cause we needed all that paper for the printing press,

and therefore are left with no oxygen to breathe,

and satellites will fry from overuse and drop from the sky,

and we'll make desperate cell phone calls to our loved ones,

while watching Mother Earth's last days on Reality TV,
