My progress on Charles-Valentin Alkan prelude in D-flat major Op. 31, No. 3 "Dans le genre ancien." Any and all constructive criticism is welcome. There is definitely room to improve, but I think it's a good start. youtu.be/45xQuPSQLz4?...
I try not to share personal struggles often, but things have been difficult for all three of us lately (me, wife, kiddo). Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, please be kind and try to improve the world around you, and remember that you never know the invisible battles people fight.

Of all the awful things Trump has said and done, "Quiet, piggy!" is especially angering.

Audio of our voices isn't the best (working with what I have here), but here is a little five-player Bomberman Party Edition action on the PlayStation! Me, wife, kiddo, and two other friends. youtu.be/3YJoGKGsaWI?...
Five people play Bomberman Party Edition!!! (PS1)

Last night was my third annual Halo 2 LAN party! We even got a little Bomberman again this year, too (PS1 instead of Saturn this timr). Still a ton of fun! It is nice to relive the 2000's every once in a while. I hope to do this again over the sunmer. Once a year isn't enough!

Good job Senate Dems.

Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

It's really cool how Yuja Wang keeps expanding and diversifying her repertoire over the years.

I have urge to do another playthrough of Final Fantasy 1... This time, on the PS1. Maybe I could figure out Twitch and stream it there.

I really hope Victor Wembanyama stays healthy. He is just unfairly tall and good. And he has a great mentality, too!

Kirby Air Riders is the first thing to make me kinda wish I had a Switch 2. It looks like it is going to be incredible - probably much better than Mario Kart World.

I am not telling people not to say it. Perhaps I am overthinking it and that word is not harmful to use. I am just reminding people of how that term used to be used and that I personally don't feel right saying it myself because of that. That's all.
Before Among Us became popular, the term "sus" (short for "suspicious") was used in a homophobic manner by straight people to suggest that something someone said or did seemed "gay" to them. I am not sure if Among Us has fully changed that or not, but I still would feel very icky saying it.

There's a funny video of Joplin's The Entertainer in whole tones from TikTok or Reels or Shorts or something, and I can't find it anymore. So sad.

When I first listened to the new Taylor Swift album, I thought it was a good collection of good songs, but I have since felt that sone of the lyrics are tone-deaf at best and dog whistles at worst. Opalite especially. And that necklace! Ugh...

The save battery to my brother's Pokémon Yellow still works! Ruby's battery needs replaying, though.

Let's Beyblade!! My latest piano cover. This is one of my favorite theme songs. I didn't watch the show a lot, but Beyblade VForce Ultimate Blader Jam for GBA uses this song a whole lot, so it is ingrained in my brain.

Call me a child, but I will ALWAYS love putting chips on a lunchmeat sandwich. Undefeated crispiness. Such a great variety of texture. A vivid supercharge of flavor.

I just "beat" Kirby's Pinball Land! (I may have absolutely spammed save states, lol). That game is HARD to beat. And I don't even think it's even "beating" the game, as you still just continue playing after defeating King Dedede. It's really just about getting as many points as you can.

It is unbelievably frustrating trying to play Minecraft split screen on Xbox Series S. Yeah, I know, Minecraft on console is inferior to PC, but the problem is that it cannot comprehend controller 1 and controller 2. We constantly have issues with cobtrollers magically switching or not working, or..
