A semi-nomadic online traveller from Verdigris, archiving, connecting and creating as much as he can.
Also a budding architect, visual artist, and demoscene musician at heart.
You can also see me down Masto-raft at @jupritona, and Fanlore (JWPH) and Newgrounds (that1verdeian).
Modular synthesis, archiving, lost media, and most of all, rhythm game lore.
Recently tried out vivid/statis on PC (via my older sister’s (now my younger bro’s) laptop) since last week, even though I’m not that much of a rhythm game enthusiasts, speaking as a young adult keen on exploration and slow-paced music in video games.
For what it’s worth, it just feels and plays quite good, with only four keys to smash and hold note bars to (much like Stepmania and other related RGs, but with the addition of bumper bars), as well as a couple of modes and storyline beats to try and dive deep into, including the tough-as-nails, one-miss-and-you-fail Ultimate mode. And its palette of featured songs are a worthwhile mention, ranging from the slow-paced to the absolute hardcore banger type. And this week, I just scored my first FC on Luminaria (Opening 1), and witnessed the game’s first edition of their tournament DUALIZED ASCENSIA unfold, from start to finish. Reeked of adrenaline-fueled fun and competition.
That being said, playing through my way on this game deffo improved on my physical reflexes and typing speed quite a bit, even though I get grades lower than A on certain harder charts. I guess we will see if I can achieve my first V grade and complete Class 1 in Course Mode after a couple more rounds of practice and studying Youtube plays of some of those aforementioned charts.
It would be mostly this song by Filipino band Over October, even though this could also apply to those missing their own parents or siblings for so long:
Into the Light
It’s deffo r/Flairwars and r/Num for me, despite not having been in the latter in the time I was on that site.
Both have their own unique inside jokes, battling systems, lore, fanworks, and most of all, a slow yet steadily thriving community that’s accepting of everyone. I often wonder how my first aforementioned community would thrive in this vast federated space, especially with all the new possibilities out here… Maybe new lore expansions, and a reinvigoration on the way?

And, about time for some listening to this one banger Free Money! rip on Youtube as a sort of ironic celebration.
That would be OMORI, first and foremost.
And Sweater Month too? How delightfully festive of a side hobby, regardless of climate location.
I also have tried this rather minimalist jotting site called thoughts.page a while back. Moreso a personal repository of rambling, quick thoughts than one alike Tumblr or Cohost, yet it’s generally seamless, most of the time.
And by that, he’ll call it his own “Las Nevadas”, but way, way more insidious and manipulative.
@Sweetpeaches69 Thus, the recursive idea of “ideas” themselves, be it good, bad, or somewhere in-between.
Hey there, also calling back from kbin.social as some of the commenters in this mini-raft.
Although most of the politics posts can be a bit of an eyesore to most of us here, I found comfort in this instance, even going so far as to establish some new mags for my ephemeral interests, one for the musico-archivist Derivakat herself, of which I have grown tired of continually building as my college era began to set in, up until this point.
As for private small-group convos, I’m also mulling moving on to revolt.chat along with a few others in my own Discord server if ever its fires start blazing forth.
And now, it’s not just news-producing sites; a while ago, I tried to look for the dimensions for the toilet and bath sections for a typical Filipino home, and lo and behold, two identical GAI cobblin’ sites appeared on top of the search results!
Just like the eventual rapid fall of L’manberg, albeit not as fast as a series of TNT and wither bombardments…
As it is always said, “everyone is an equal, unconditionally”. No ifs, nor buts.
Seems quite extensive, but… do I place some and/or all of it on the “My rules” or “My filters” tab on uBlock?
I would also like to add that she’s also in the game Sayonara Wild Hearts as the Narrator herself, as a sort of last-minute addition by the developers at Simogo.
