accidentally got a site’s ai assistant bolted down, and I do believe I was personally responsible for it, if only because I found out how to ask it for clothing suggestions in just such a way that it kept trying to find visions of hell in its stock and describing offerings of assorted red and pink scarves as like, insect-mutilated infants
like I do really think I might be at fault if they ever looked at the logs and saw what happened
video game music is not as morally neutral as anyone would like to think by the way. can you count how many times gamelan has been used in music for crazed cultish villains and their evil ritualistic matters. because it’s definitely more than one, and regardless whether it’s intentional or not, it’s extremely orientalist and can do a lot to inform a player’s mental associations with indonesian music and any music that falls outside of the western-centric A440 12 tone equal temperament

authors notes: there is absolutely no one true meaning intended for this piece, but I guess my thoughts while making it were the plain, boring and literal way you talk about the world after seeing something traumatic , or the way things seem to lose all meaning and significance . and also the way you minimise an event to make it sound like it’s not so bad , the way you remove detail from the memory.
like .. there is something over the river . there is something unspeakable over the river . when you recount it , you have to make it seem so small . it’s just a body. the state the body is in can’t be made out like this . you hide the details from yourself to forget how bad it really looked . you hide it in general - so insignificant you could miss it entirely ! it was just a body and The Something that killed it looming , and birds flying away .
and the world could be full of colour , but you can’t see it that way any more . the grass is just grass . the trees are just trees . the fish in the river that’s just a river are just fish , and that’s just a body .
Also SPOILERS for anyone who wants the solution to the eye-spy:
Excuse me I’m extremely normal about The Character. Yes I got a stomachache thinking about them in passing and needed to lie down for a bit before I felt well enough to go about the rest of my day. But apart from that I’m completely and utterly normal about them.
