here's a list of programs/sites/whatever that were helpful to me when i was moving away from using spotify & back to downloading music:

soulseek - peer to peer downloading program, has most music you'd want. there's "rules" to it though and the UI is a little confusing, but you can figure it out. there's tutorials. i believe in you

cobalt.tools, ytiz.xyz, yt-dlp - mp3 downloaders, for the songs that you can't find on soulseek

musicbee - music player, extremely customiseable. reminds me of when i used itunes back in the day. has a lot of good features, including syncing music over to your phone

lastfm & listenbrainz - sites that keep track of your listening stats. i'd recommend this even if you still choose to use a music streaming service

syncedlyrics - cmd thing that gets you timed song lyrics, like the ones spotify has. there's no UI but it's easy enough to use. just grab the lyrics and timestamps it spits out and paste it into musicbee

music presence - program that shows what song you're listening to in your discord status, in case you use discord and enjoy the thought of other people seeing what you're listening to, which i do for some reason

i'm not going to lie to you and say that switching away from spotify/streaming services is an effortless task, it took me half a whole day of nonstop Work to get all my music downloaded and sorted out, but i will say that it was worth it!! and you should do it 👍 if you want to

About the bind: ✦ Inspired by sardine chocolates I saw, where the paper packaging was a can with a cutout window and you could see the sardne chocy inside ✦ Illustrated the endpaper to make it look like cut up fish ✦ the silver rolled up foil is scrap Vinyfrog silver foil HTV, it's sturdy enough to stay rolled up with some super glue but not get squashed. It's not attached to the case in case Octo wishes to slide the book into the shelf ✦ The case is supposed to look the can, with a cut open window to peek inside. ✦ ain't a book featuring fish if I don't give the fish legs to run away (I call them reverse mermaid)

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

Hello my dear friends after nine years of promising myself I would make another Twine game some day: I have done this. You can play it here.

you have created a monster is a tiny interactive fiction game about love, fear, (mutual?) destruction, and monsters. Not necessarily in that order. Reasons to play it:

there are monsters

there are 17 different endings and more ways to reach them than I can do the maths for

it's the result of me spending slightly too long thinking about Frankenstein

it's very short so it's like microdosing horror

my mum really liked it

it's ✨free✨

you can play it in your browser

it is very possible to die horribly

it is also very possible to live horribly

it is additionally very possible to get several other thematically compelling endings
