sometimes i think about what people think of when they hear the words 'video game'. like, what first pops into your head

i know a lot of people would say shit like mario, sonic... zelda... maybe something more recent like halo or minecraft... or indie titles like undertale or super meat boy...

i think i might be in the minority when i say the first thing i think of is kirby.

i was a kid during this story--7 years old. the world was still a pretty bright place, but my parents had fought a lot when i was younger and my dad had a car accident that year. and i was frustrated about video games. sure I'd played loads of old computer games, and i had pokemon yellow and an n64 with snap, but video games as a whole were frustrating to me. i didn't play pokemon snap well and i remember that i wanted dad to just... get rid of the n64 because i got too frustrated over snap.

then one day--it was winter, i remember that, cold as hell--we went to the local video rental place. usually I'd rent a game there even if i got frustrated. and that's when i saw it--a blue box with a smiling pink face on it, with rounded friends.

kirby 64. god, i just... had a feeling about it, y'know? it's the feeling you get when something is just... right. i rented it, and i remember my dad buying me the latest nintendo power too, which had kirby 64 as the cover game--nice coincidental timing. we went home, i put the game in the n64, and i fell in love instantly.

i rented it god knows how many times. it was my very favourite game to rent; it was the first game i ever fell in love with. i tried every power, got all the shards, adored every song and every world. it was the first game i ever beat myself, without my dad holding my hand the entire way through. i was so proud, so enamoured with the world and everyone in it, and kirby fast became my favourite game character of all time, making me realize just how fun games could be if i put in the effort to beat them myself and didn't get frustrated. i never actually owned the cart--and when the rental place closed, that was the end of that. no more kirby 64 for me.

until the wii virtual console, but whatever.

that was the first game i ever loved. kirby 64 means a hell of a lot to me. it's always going to. it brings me back to a time when a game i loved was rare indeed, when something so small could capture my imagination in a huge way, and when the fate of a virtual world felt like my own fate, too.

happy 18th, kirby 64. you're still one of my favourite games of all time, and I'll still be playing you for years to come.

okay so I didn't make my deadline (shame) but I'm taking a brief break from my drafting to do a very minor vent-- There is nothing more demoralizing than having a bot show up in the comments of a piece of art/fic. I've thankfully managed to dodge this bullet (I chalk it up to sticking to my ancient accounts from like 2011 as the bots seem to favor newer ones) but I've been seeing it with my partner's stuff as she's been working to build a online presence, as well as with fics that I've been reading on Ao3.

Like I know this isn't news or anything, the little bastards have been out scamming for a long ass time, but idk. It's very much salt in the wound as we enter deeper into the #SlopEra.

#ash chatter #like I just can't imagine anything that'd kill my momentum more than to have something I spent hours/days on get buried under bots #its so fucking bleak out there #like honestly even though my city is currently being occupied by all variety of goon at least there's a zine culture to fall back on lmaoo #idk I'd be able to handle living in a place without an irl arts culture right now because the internet is rotting fast #ao3 #social media in general #I don't count this site because it's basically 75% botfarm already so it's not too shocking here lol #I just had to assure her that once you find real people/establish yourself in community things get slightly less shit #but bros #its only slightly ;-;

So I'm... *checks watch* almost a month late to this. Ah, well! Time's a funky thing, ain't it! Nevertheless... FIVE SONGS, ON REPEAT: (Big thanks to @porcelainseashore for the tag!!)

First Up:

ANEMOIA by OLIVER BUCKLAND So. Ena Dream BBQ. I happen to dig it, as well as Ena in general. There's a... I don't know what to call it. Scale? Scope? Aspect of Awe? Whatever it is, it's present in spades here and like other tracks in the BBQ OST, it's one of my go-tos when out walking and letting the mind wander. Also I can't include this without also bringing up the Dream BBQ trailer that it's featured in. Because... look! Visuals!

2. HOBBY HORSE by GAZELLE TWIN I'm a sucker for a driving beat and a fucked up lil guy distorted vocal track. But this also has lowkey become part of my usual writing rotation as I've been revising the Eliza chapters of Limits as well as the overall story outline. It captures the sense of anxiety that I'm aiming for with early ghouldom/vitae addiction, I suppose.

3. CANDY SAYS (LIVE AT ST. ANN'S WAREHOUSE) by LOU REED, ANOHNI HEGARTY

This is an alltimer. Every layer, every bit, every word, every note. Every soul that offered their hands in the creation of this piece--bless them, bless them, bless them. When I'm adrift or feeling like art's for not, this is the song I put on to drag me out of that mire. Just... "What do you think I'd see If I could walk away from me" Breaks me every time.

4. MISSISSIPPI HALF-STEP UPTOWN TOODELOO by THE GRATEFUL DEAD Look. I'm never beating the stereotypical stoner allegations. I am the son of deadheads, it was basically fate. Also, I'm working on a V5 Louisville Chronicle in which events unfolding at a Grateful Dead Coverband concert may or may not be a major plot point. This song in particular is a favorite of a tzimisce priest NPC I've been working on--so it is mine now, as well!

5. VAN HELSING BOOMBOX by MANMAN Another alltimer. The brutal bracing for inevitable loss song. Though this has really hit the on repeat playlist due to the fact that it was one of my initial inspirations for the Ana/Roman dynamic and vibe. As much as the two characters/their arcs have evolved in the past... *check notes* year and a half (?!?!) I've been writing Limits and rotating its characters around in my head like a cube--this song remains consistent in matching what I'm going for with those two. Also, ManMan is one of my favorite bands. So they needed a spot on this list! Aaaaah again thank you for the tag! Sorry for the weird list order, because it kinda whips wildly between
