earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

The music instrument samples used by Koji Kondo when he composed the Super Mario World soundtrack were all taken from commercially available sources, and simply reduced in quality to be playable on a SNES.

After many years of searching, video game music enthusiasts were able to track down all original samples in their source quality, allowing the tracks to be restored to the form they could have had if the SNES were able to use high-quality samples. In this post, the restored version of the Castle/Fortress music can be heard.

Hello! Love your music! I notice you have lots of production credits on your music, like enknee1. What is the production process like?

LOTS OF SWEAT LOTS OF TEARS AND HONESTLY A BUNCH OF WAITING AROUND HOPING SOMETHING WILL HIT!

Something I'm getting more comfortable at doing is sounding "bad"

It's okay if I feel like things are "bad," like I'm not a machine that just churn out a bunch of songs! I'm trying to embrace the exploration period of everything! 🤩

But genuinely I like being involved in the production process! There are times I struggle with parts, but often times I know how I want things to sound and I can figure it out!

Funny you mention enknee1 though!

The demo to that song that I did almost sounds identical to the released version, except BURNS (the other production credit) added some elements throughout the song, MAINLY this psychedelic rock thing in the middle of it (I just had the key change)!

I was SO MAD 😡......

...that I didn't come up with that 😭. But hey, I gotta give credit where credit's due!

Letter from Nintendo to the Donkey Kong 64 development team at Rare, regarding the planned, but ultimately unused Stop'n'Swap functionality in the game.

The original plan was to be able to let data be transferred between Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 via very quickly removing one cartridge from the Nintendo 64 and inserting another, with a peculiarity of the system allowing the RAM to persist for a short time, allowing some information to be retained between games.

However, as pointed out in the letter, Nintendo had concerns about this functionality not being possible on later revisions of the hardware, as well as about the safety of the procedure, causing them to ask Rare to cut the feature. The game contains various unused content related to it, such as a Banjo-Kazooie-themed fridge in Donkey Kong's treehouse.
