learned a new fuckening excel formula

after doing this kind of work for 10 years professionally

it's something incredibly obvious but I was doing it with writing out formulas because I'm too smart for my own good

background:

sometimes I would want to make a name like

or

into

Diane Mononym

and so I would use left() and right() and mid() to pull that shit out carefully and re-assemble it together. I was going to keep it brief because it's a bunch of bullshit but I decided to sit down and write out the formula because the people ought to see bullshit if they really wanted.

below the jump.

let me once again issue the call to download umineko project. let sayaka ohara's witch cackling into your life.

i’m obsessed with how these ponies look theyre sooooo cute

I have yet to play Needy Girl Overdose (NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD) so I don’t have much of interest to say about it but, I wanted to share this because it’s so cool to see a (comparatively) popular & modern game has been utilizing Ukagaka to make radio dramas! and even with English subtitles included. before the game came out I remember reading a Japanese publication saying they drew influence from Ukagaka (I believe Nini Radio by Triumphal Records specifically? also this makes it pretty obvious), as well as old-school denpa visual novels so I suppose it’s an expected tie-in but I’m still surprised they pulled it off because I haven’t seen Ukagaka used this way in a long time. the Angel Radio segments are programmed by Coyakoya (they aren't in the credits on youtube but I think it's safe to assume they probably were involved based on this process video?) and illustrated by Para Dot.

my fields of mistria cutie coming along

her name is sage and she’s an archeologist

she has a crush on ryis the carpenter and fellow farmer hayden (because i cannot choose between them)

Apparently he's a penguin... Nah he gives pigeon vibes

bro i LOVE indigenous fusion music i love it when indigenous people take traditional practices and language and apply them in new cool ways i love the slow decay and decolonisation of the modern music industry

I WILL !!! I WILL DO THAT

some of my favourite indigenous artists, in no particular order:

Inuit artists:

Māori artists:

Indigenous australian artists:

Another one for Inuit artists is Piqsiq! Two sisters who’ve been doing traditional throat singing since they were kids. They make some really gorgeous, eerie, atmospheric stuff. Highly recommend watching this video of them performing live a cappella using a looping machine, because they might be the coolest people on the planet actually

(Jo March nearly in tears voice) women,,,,

For anyone into North Asian and Central Asian folk music, there's this incredible Siberian folk-pop band called Otyken! The group is mostly women and they're from multiple indigenous groups in Siberia, with songs being sung in their range of different languages. They're so much fun and their music videos are amazing!

i'll go ahead and recommend The Halluci Nation (formerly known as A Tribe Called Red), an EDM group from First Nations Ontario that do really cool fusions of First Nations music with dubstep, moombahton, and hip hop.

I really really really appreciate people who share videos on posts like these, because almost without a doubt every time I love the music but I’ve never got the spoons to click on links and look through a bunch of music or worse google the artist I always end up too overwhelmed to start and I hate that

Haven't seen Belle Sisoski here yet so here we go: she's the current Artist of Year for BURO impact Awards. She's from Malaysia and knows how to play an insane amount of ethnic instruments and mixes them with her own voice. She does covers and her own songs, mixes ethnic instruments with Techno and shows the process. And she's also a live DJ at 19!

And one of her own:

Oh and of course there's also the HU and Bloodywood for people who like more rock and metal mixed in:

We've looked back on the records of 2024, so here's a sampler of games that you can play right now for the low price of free:

Beetle Ninja (a hero-for-hire RPG set two weeks before the end of the world, built for repeated playthroughs) / Grimm's Hollow (a spooky and sweet RPG set in the afterlife where you play as a Reaper hiding your ghost sibling)

Remember Places? (locked inside, an AI is your only friend) / Liminal Dreams (a game about exploring bizarre world and meeting strange strangers)

Drown the Bride (a point n' click adventure visual novel about meeting your friend's fiancee in a historically themed fantasy world) / MAMA (a visual novel where you pass out at a yuri convention you were attending with your girlfriend, and awake to find yourself in your childhood home making certain... connections about your mother's actions in the past)

Slider (a tile-based sliding puzzle adventure to find your cat via manipulating the world around you) / The King is Watching (defend your kingdom against an army; buildings are only productive when your gaze is upon them)

Rental (a short and spooky game about renting a cabin, reminiscent of classic survival horror games) / Illusion Carnival (a lost soul wanders a 2.5D pop-up book-like amusement park, evading the attacks of the anomalies that would love to eat them up)

HavE (a visual novel set at a ski resort vacation goes awry in ways that may be supernatural) / Zodiac Paradigm (a murder mystery visual novel arises when twelve animals are called to be a part of the Emperor's council, yet thirteen arrive)

Bad Manors (a point n' click visual novel on Halloween where your friend can't make it to an escape room with you, so a helpful stranger goes in his place) / Reaper's Goodbye (five patrons of a food stall tell their tales while waiting for the midnight train)

SWOLLEN TO BURSTING UNTIL I AM DISAPPEARING ON PURPOSE (a weirdo RPG in which a flying saucer crashes into the town of "Vomit", but you have packages to deliver) / Until Biglight (technically a demo, a sample of a cancelled project of poverty, cats, mice, violence, words like "hyperreality", and planning an assassination)

C.H.A.I.N. / C.H.A.I.N.G.E.D. / The Madvent Calendar (Three anthologies from the Haunted PS1 community. A game of game development telephone, a branching path telling a tale of time travel and family, and a haunted advent calendar.)

So Jefferson says he hasn’t talked to Orpheus in about 16 years. Triana is about 16. I think they had a situationship, but then Byron met Tatyana and it got all complicated and then Triana was born and Jefferson ghosted him.
