Do you want the industry answer, the genre answer, the culture answer, the franchise answer, or the streamer answer?

I will say it a thousand times, although the show is known for reusing a lot of its score cues, for those times when they were written as used, it really nailed the double-sided tone super well

When I was linked Dropout's first big round of social media clips with decent full palette captions, I said to myself, "They don't need us" and stayed far away since.

So I do appreciate these recent-ish words that were brought to my attention, but do they really need us specifically?

To be clear, the straight shot is 20 minutes by car, but 6 hours walking, while more closely following the tracks is 45 minutes by car and 10 hours walking.

And part of it's a hiking trail now, but that had to be fairly rugged terrain for the train to be built through in the first place.

We get comments whenever I do these rare gimmick captions like, "didn't need to go that far".

But in fact, you know what the alternative is?

There's been plenty of attempts and musings to update "We Didn't Start the Fire" with these sort of reminders, but sometimes I just wanna listen to this on loop and retreat into the night.

I've been working so constantly, that in order to keep from burning out, sometimes I do just play something like this on loop in the background

The narrative of Disney 2D animation is changing in subtle ways, and I'm not sure how I feel about it
