It's been 4 years since the release of the original Perfect Tides. I wrote down some feelings about it on my blog:

BREAKING: Three people are dead and 14 were left injured after a shooting at a bar in Austin, Texas, authorities say.

wonderful movie, but i can only watch it once every 10 years
it's egg rolls oh my god
ok no one's allowed to talk to me or even look at me until i've eaten all of these egg rolls
if we flip the state this year, i will look back on this moment and think "it was all worth it"
so we better fuckin flip the state!!
the good news is that the long lines at my polling place today point towards an unusually large voter turnout for a midterm primary. a good sign!
the bad news is that i had meetings through noon and then it took me an hour to vote, so now it's 2:24 and i haven't eaten lunch yet and i'm CRANKY
i think all women are gamers
not every day you read through an article and spot a face that handsome, i'm just saying
this is a great article made even greater by the inclusion of @maff.bsky.social's thoughts on mountain climbing and Cairn. that's my boyfriend in there! wow, look at him go!!
do it. the games are cheap and plentiful on eBay. the exercise is good for our creaky millennial bodies. the music still hits. i've been playing regularly for a few months now and it's been great

@emilyprice.bsky.social talks to @meredithgran.com about her game Perfect Tides: Station to Station and women in games and writing:
next time i'll listen to her work while sitting in a comfortable chair in a dark room, like the lord intended
that is entirely fair! she is objectively The Best
rest in peace Éliane Radigue, i listened to her Trilogie de la Mort in 30-minute increments when working out on the elliptical at the gym last year, and even though this probably wasn't the best way to listen to the work, it transported me to another dimension all the same
the Oczy and Badeni team-up is a high point for sure!!
being an industry worker in games discords is often exhausting - people always want to theorycraft about why X was delayed or what the politics behind an executive reshuffling were and you can't even tell them about the Five Prismatic Bones
i did it even though i was bored the whole time, please clap
i have a bunch of sounds on my Zoom that i recorded in december and january, and i've been putting off editing and naming them ever since I started working again. but tonight i am going to knock these out! finally!! and i really mean it!! i am posting here for Accountability

even the worst case scenario cannot hurt me as long as my access to the original work remains open. and, let's be real: it's going to remain open.
i feel the same way about Yoko Taro Evangelion as i felt about the FLCL sequels: my mind is open. my heart is open. and in the event that it sucks, the original work and my relationship to it is safe. i cannot be hurt by this.
i saw 100 Meters when it was in theaters a few months back! i liked it quite a bit, and i plan to watch it again now that it's streaming, but: my first thought after watching it was "well, it's no Orb: On The Movements of the Earth." absolutely bangin soundtrack tho, 10/10
yes! yes!!!! It's Orbin' Time 😎
i haven't watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes (yet), but my understanding is that it's mostly characters talking to each other about their moral and political philosophies. if that's true, and you're into that, then yes! Orb is for you!
every time i sit down to watch an anime now, no matter what it is or how much i enjoy it, i think to myself "well, it's no Orb: On The Movements Of The Earth"
