Big fan of #Utaite (particularly doing covers of #Vocaloid music,) games, and technology. Unfortunately I've been falling out of anime these days (harder and harder to get into things for me) and don't watch much anymore. I'm also a very slight bit of an audiophile (but limited budgets make it hard to be much of one.)
Anime Animals アニメの動物Actually, now that I've had time to properly process Ash Again, and going thru some of the better reactions...
Gura said that the song was in the works for 1.5-2 years, and that it was "ironic that this ended up being (her) final project"... And it finally hit me that that door wasn't originally meant to be about her graduating at all. It was meant to be something like reconciling with her inner turmoil before opening the door to face the world as her whole self instead of letting her red (destructive and damaged) self take over for the world to see.
And that the last line "we all pretend that this is the end, (she'll) do it again". So it's a song of her resolve to keep on going... 
And with her upcoming graduation, the song's context has totally changed...

Any of you still holding out on your Meta accounts, please please delete them. I don't want to get into the specifics, but they just approved some pretty bad hate speech and it just isn't safe.

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).
So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

Guess I better paws what I was doing... 🐾
