how broken is my brain that the shredding at the end starts approaching sounding like a chiptune to me

Gotta love surprise default-on settings!!!

it was a setting in the Topics page of the admin panel. lol lmao etc

Thank you for calling that out, I noticed that on the sandbox instance. That's weird to have as a default imo! I'll see how to get it removed.

When you open up an old thread, the quick reply box at the bottom, as well as the full reply screen, have this red text above it:

This is... not the kind of forum that benefits from that advice, to say the least. So maybe it shouldn't be there.

UPDATE: We should be all clear! Remember to listen to the pre-upgrade checks instead of assuming you know best.

It's been a minute! More on that in a bit. For now, we've missed a couple important SMF updates. I'll run them tonight at 1am UTC (6pm PDT, 9pm EDT).

Expect some downtime during then, but hopefully we'll be back up within a few minutes!

Past couple weeks ive been taking on the task of picking up french. So far my strategy has been to stuff my head with basic vocabulary via flash cards, and slowly work my way through a pdf of a beginner textbook and that's been working actually kinda well?

Plan is to try to get the basics down and then immerse myself via media. I actually managed to make my way through a playthrough of Metroid Fusion in french while understanding most of it (thank goodness I already know another romance language). Also watched a french streamer the other day and understood nearly nothing except for when he angrily told link "Ouvre la porte!!" after bonking into a door. Also I think scarecrow video has a lot of french films we could check out...

Anyone else trying to pick up another language?

forgot to post my arrangement of the Look Around You intro theme itself when i finished it oops

Symphonic "Jeremy A. Smith" Games is a master of Megadrive-type music. this track is the first thing that plays when I queue up his folder in my library and it always gets me so pumped
