@Forestofenchantment all artists prefer people to buy their releases, but the fact of the matter is that i'm not made of money. i'll buy albums that i REALLY like, and that's about it. the way that most people have consumed music ever since the cassette tape (and maybe earlier?) has been piracy lol. or just listening to the radio and whatever comes on, comes on. great artists will recognize that and just want as many people to hear their music as possible, since the majority of their sales are from playing shows and merch (which does include physical music sales). the only way to get people to buy that stuff though is to make sure they hear the music in the first place, and in that regard, streaming services are extremely beneficial. they serve pretty much the same purpose that limewire did.

ahahaha, checking out their subreddit it looks like everyone else is having this issue too, lmao this is so fucking dumb

Okay so the music library thing is even dumber than I thought. It seems that some albums are only on mobile and some are only on desktop, but those even differ sometimes between the app client and the website one. WTF is going on here?

Man, I like Deezer because it let me have my streaming library and then upload my own MP3s to it for things that didn't exist on the platform. This is just ridiculous though, I've had weird issues with it before but this takes the cake. I'm not going to go through and favorite 3 different versions of songs just so I'll have them everywhere. I'd rather download all my music manually. What a joke.

It's going to take a while to go back to using local music but I know there are programs that will download stuff from Deezer. It is kind of going to suck to start needing to manually download stuff instead of searching for it too... that convenience of streaming apps is nothing to scoff at. When it doesn't play the music I want it to play, though, what's the point you know?

Ending and credits now have a background too. I was inspired by early fantasy RPGs like Final Fantasy 1-7 and the first two Ys games which featured a space background, despite none of those games (except FF4) taking place in space.

Space backgrounds are often associated with deep philosophical thought or the meaning of existence. Or maybe the protagonist is transferred to another world after starring into the mirror. I don't know. I just felt like the ending and credits screen needs a background too.

Boss now only appears after the player is out of the doorway and the trap-door closes. This prevents the player from leaving before the shutting of the trap-door.

So, so tired of boomer rock bands overstaying their windows of relevancy. GO HOME GUNS & ROSES.

@ChristiJunior @Dude we are winning, and these dudes are groveling at our feet. Bit too late for that, though.

@xianc78 the LGBT one, but also MAPs. I've never seen someone who uses that term to describe themselves that I like.
