creating artful enemies since God knows when.

tape casette recorders are compatible with literally every. single. thing. im out here living in 2095.

things you can record (audio only), simply by lying to your computer, telling it that the tape recorder is actually a set of headphones:

  • discord call
  • podcast
  • documentary
  • radio and internet radio
  • music, from any source. without having to download it at all.
  • music you make on virtual pianos/etc
  • noteworthy news items (fireside esque, interviews, huge events)
  • stand-up comedy
  • rented or borrowed media
  • any other sound your pc can produce

and with a VCR you could do all of this AND have the visuals as well… but an audio cassette recorder is a good place to start, since they’re small and simple. I would not recommend a boombox, because those are large and nowadays all very, very bad quality.

Now you may be saying “how is any of this helpful, I want a digital file…” here’s the fucking magic. You go into Audacity (free program), and lie to it that the tape recorder is really a microphone. Then you hit record on Audacity, and hit play on the tape, and let it play at regular speed. Trim and export the digital file, and you’re doing gangbusters. You’re cooking with gas. You’re thinking with portals. You’ve won the internet.

Congratulations, you can “pirate”* anything you want, and literally no one can catch you, because you’re not downloading in the traditional sense. You’re streaming to an external device, and that device is recording what it receives. It’s exactly like taping a live tv show to a VHS. This is a very low-key and non-strenuous task for the computer, since your tape recorder does all the work.

*Is this piracy? No. Well- it’s time shifting. Sort of. Tell it to my Steely Dan albums. Tell it to my The Sims: Hot Date VG Soundtrack album.

How it started: horrifying cosmic terror under west Texas

How it’s going: Biting critique on late stage capitalism, corporate hubris, and exploitation in America

I really enjoy that the 3 kinds of post about the mystery flesh pit on this website are

1) detailed discussion of the themes of capitalist exploitation as the true source of the horror

2) theorycrafting about the weird geobiology of the creature

3) what if we kiss in the mystery flesh pit 😉

thinking about the mystery flesh pit bathing areas but like. from the creatures perspective. imagine if you found out there were tiny sentient creatures fucking in your lymph nodes. what would you even do

Still can't get over the fact that a mining company saw a giant creature living in the ground and was like "Yeah lets build an 8-story mall inside its throat theres no way this will go wrong."
