[+] Wave Goodbye To The Jets, Part Two

GK: heh,
GK: my absence wasn't supposed to be that long,
GK: but something came up,
GK: and I guess I had to do some soul searching,
GK: I had to really figure some shit out,
GK: I spent a lot of time,
GK: just staring off into space,
GK: I know some of you probably just don't understand,
GK: I think at least one of you might, though,
GK: but let's not dwell on that,
GK: I'm "back", but,
GK: i've always,
GK: been here, um,
GK: yeah,
WL: holy shit
WL: well i can see you're cryptic as ever!
GK: huh,

WL: youre a lot better by a longshot
WL: love ya <3
GK: <3,
WL: how's uh plate ville?
GK: its fun,
GK: a nice breather from the last place,
GK: you know, getting used to a new school,
GK: usually it's tough but,
GK: for some reason this time around things have been,
GK: a little easier,
DL: awit
DL: *wait

WL: squeaky rodents ready for action
PC: Don't bring up rats.
PC: PLease.
PC: *please.
PC: but also, Please.
BA: oh noooo :(
BA: dont remind me of the rats plz :((
PC: You know, sometimes, the emote thing is a little gross, I have to admit.
BA: ::::((((
WL: mmk
WL: enough typo distraction
WL: funchus
DL: habjsnigm
WL: i have an important question for GK
GK: oh,
GK: i think I already know what it is,
WL: maybe you do
WL: maybe you dont
WL: the question is
WL: are you going to play the game with us
WL: or not
GK: i believe that i must,
GK: its kind of the whole reason im here, in a way,
WL: yay but also wha
GK: SV sent me a copy on a whim,
GK: she had a friend of hers lined up to be another one of the players but they couldnt make it,
GK: so fate found me at a moment when i had the laptop open,
RM: If I'm reading this correctly, then you never intended to come back on your own.
RM: Is that right?
GK: no, I did,
GK: it just so happened to be at that same moment,
GK: I knew it would happen,
GK: tbh,
GK: it was fate,
DL: waait also allso
DL: why exacctly whhere oyu.. ggone so l nog
DL: like fffwhat was the holfd up. vg
GK: oh,
GK: lets just say,
GK: identity issues,
WL: huh
WL: ??
GK: nothing major,
GK: nothing i havent been through before,
BA: i hope ur ok :/
BA: liek for reals tho :|
WL: yeah that sounds pretty serious
WL: were here for you
WL: u know that, right?
BA: yeah! :D
WL: and i know im the only gal on here right now
WL: you were talking to SV earlier
WL: but you can talk to me in private too
WL: k?
sacredViolin [SV] is online.
SV: or ,
SV: you could also talk to me .
SV: ; )
WL: woah!
DL: you knoww what i juust realiized
DL: all the grills talkn in lwloer scase
DL: anf tlike,m halmf the guyys are un uppermn case
DL: whatsit me an
DL: i dubno
DL: in just thoigub it was fgnbyy
SV: W B talks in lower case some times
SV: your conjecture is false
RM: Nice word.
SV: s t f u
WL: rat crew listen up
WL: gonna say this one time and one time only
WL: real rats
WL: dont use capital letters.
RM: My apologies, for using as correct a grammar as I can muster, but I will stick to that for the foreseeable future.
WL: you aint no rat kiddo
WL: ur a mouse.
GK: SV,
GK: i think you should talk to everyone about tomorrow,
GK: for clarity's sake,
SV: right !
SV: every one should have the game installed by now
SV: and none of you should have ran it
SV: well
SV: the reason for that is that things
SV: are complicated .
SV: basically
SV: the first player to run the " client "
SV: will be WL
WL: woah
WL: what about that server thingy
WL: do i run that too??
SV: no
SV: you will be the last to run that
SV: BA will run the server next
SV: and then once some thing happens and you will know what that thing is trust me
SV: then you go
SV: run the client
SV: from there the chain is
BA: :O
SV: yes
SV: i guess altogether the loop goes
SV: WL <- BA <- GK <- PC <- SV <- DL <- WB <- RM <- WL
GK: trust me,
GK: itll make more sense later,
PC: I have a question, unrelated to the whole order thing.
GK: sure?,
PC: What kind of game is this?

Playlists

I make a lot of playlists. I consider playlist sequencing and mixing, when done properly and by a deft sequencer, to be an artform. Unfortunately the best I can do remotely is Spotify playlists, which aren't very artful but I'm collecting in a post anyway. I listen to a lot of music and as much as I'd like to go on for days about it this is really the only way I can "do" that without just wasting people's time.

Here's the post where I did all of my V7 character playlists. These are now all up to date, and each is divided in three parts; the first is songs that generally summed up my idea of the character going in, made all at once during pregame. The second part has one song per pregame thread, and the third part has one song per island thread, roughly.

Here is a similar post for Meanwhile playlists. As both Colorless II and Writing the Enigma are incomplete, so too are their playlists. One per post. Years of Pilgrimage has a finished playlist that may enhance your viewing of the work.

Here is a list of playlists I broadcast over the airwaves. At the end of the Before Times I was a college radio DJ, and here are links to the eight shows I got to put together.

Here is a list of playlists I made after my show got cancelled due to Covid-19. I made these in the style of my radio playlists up until the end, when I got bored of the whole weekly theme idea. Includes the Elements series; 100 songs with 25 each for Fire, Water, Earth and Air.

Here are some other miscellaneous playlists that I think I might as well share.

The Wasteland of Reality, an audio log of my Conceptualization-driven Disco Elysium playthrough. Lined up to the sequence I encountered the game in, and not any ideal route or anything, thus it doesn't make much sense, but if you've played I can tell you what songs line up with which parts. In private—I don't want to spoil the game.

20 for 20, twenty songs of my most memorable songs I've heard from over my nineteenth year. I did this for my eighteenth birthday as well, in 18 for 18.

Albums Listened to in 2020, in which I put every song from every release I heard in 2020. Constantly updated, often multiple times a day. Obviously limited to what's on Spotify. This should just be shuffled, not listened to all the way through, if you want an eclectic mix of a bunch of genres that apparently all sound the same anyway according to some people when I put this stuff on. Here are the corresponding mixes for 2018 and 2019. Just because something's in here doesn't mean I like it; everything gets put in here, whether I feel it's a 2 or a 6 or a 10 out of 10 and anything in between.

Radio Neon Nite Witch Automation, another shuffler. Imaginary radio station broadcasting from Walpurgisnacht every single night at the strike of 24:01. Semi-frequently refreshed with new songs.
