whoever has been running the @Sonic-Official account has been doing an extremely good job, and has been sneaking in bits of personality that are very fun. i kept making jokes about "cohost!sonic", so i thought it would be fun to draw what this mysterious version of sonic would be like behind the screen. based off of his posts, it looks like he's living his newly-single life, learning CSS, and loves to throw digs at twitter & cops in his posts' tags. we love & support you cohost!sonic -- even if you're unverified, you're still canon and still valid to us all, thank you for being here!

shoutout @dreamcast for introducing me to Chair Chaser, a 2002 student project from Konami's computer entertainment school in Osaka where five people (one of whom is a penguin mascot) compete in an office chair race to become the new CEO of Okamoto Office Furniture Corporation

works Great On Deck™ if you install directmusic from protontricks. hopefully it'll get approved by SteamGridDB soon so my Steam assets for it can be found here

it would rule if Cohost became a place where people shared weird archive dives of old comics and movies and stuff. just in general it'd be so great if internet culture could respond to the breakdown of the big algorithm sites by returning to a more curatorial approach to culture, a sort of circulate the tapes ethos rather than a buy/binge the latest thing (which is in any case a remake of something from the 80s) ethos

like without slipping into a kind of idealist voluntarism or just a kind of vote with your wallet or your likes mindset, I DO think there's some value in saying, hey, maybe we could be engaging culture differently and more healthily? and then take the next step, as Anti Software are doing, of saying "here are structural affordances that could support something different." maybe!
