#...with a double cassette deck

Brian Martin - Sex Tonight (1984)

[mychlapci]

Thinking about how the size difference between rumble, frenzy and Soundwave is hot enough, but consider if it was the other way around??? A smaller than average, feral cassette Soundwave with tape deck twins Rumble and Frenzy. Like, Rumble and Frenzy find out someone’s been doing their work for them and eventually they find that Soundwaves been living in the Nemesis’s vents for a while now on his own, and it breaks their hearts to find out that such a small submissive thing had to take care of himself when they could have been spoiling him rotten. Idk just Soundwave going from a feral small thing to a pretty submissive cassette that’s only theirs that they can only share with each other and double team together. (Maybe the twins can share with their other cassettes too, maybe ravage gets a taste of Soundwave and them from then on they can’t get him off of him unless they’re fucking Soundwave)

here it is... the ageswap soundwave and rumble & frenzy content. i'm absolutely into this. little Soundwave and his two mean tape deck mentors... he's going to have to learn how to be good for Rumble and Frenzy, and he better get along with all the other cassettes <3

SEVEN DAYS OF BRUTALITY 2025

3/9 Sacrificial Sunday

WOOOO I FUCKING LOVE EVENTS!!!! Y’all know I got a thing for Preklok. Here’s Nathan doing something mighty big. No beta. Raw dog.

tws/cws: nothing? I think we’re good.

The truck started up without stalling this time. Dad had pulled Mom's elbow until she came away from the window, but knowing she wasn't watching made him want to cut the engine and go back to bed for another couple years, until something changed in the background and he woke up feeling like an adult. But, by the time he realized, he'd already put it in reverse, and slowly backed out the driveway and onto the street.

The sun turned its back on him and he drove into the yellow sky until he hit a McDonalds and watched the building's shadow fade into the darkness to the tune of three quarter pounders, a large fry, and a Hi-C.

And he could turn back. Really, he should have, but TV families didn't have an adult kid without a job drinking in his room all day, and Nathan felt obligated to save a little face, maybe more than he actually wanted to be "independent" or whatever. If they weren't embarrassed now, they would be soon, a truth that suffocated him silent as long as he could remember. Hopefully, he could avoid having to meet that day by being absent, just like school.

The tape deck had a mixtape of some black metal something recorded in Houston by Mark, a friend of a friend, in exchange for a pitcher of Budweiser. Nathan ejected it and plopped in the Hank Williams Jr. cassette his dad had forgotten about as he pulled out of the parking lot and headed east into the darkness like a child under their mother's arm. He double parked behind a car he recognized, spat at the weathered asphalt parking lot, and went inside through the back way to dodge having to pay cover.

He wasn't with anyone playing tonight, but the old bar, once a strip club, was packed with the usual crowd for a group with two basses and one guitar named BEEST (the first letters of everyone's name. How cute) that sounded better than the sales pitch would leave you to believe. In a booth were two of the people living in the house Nathan was told he'd have a room in as long as he could cough up $350 (brought to you by Mom's purse and forgotten birthday money from a DisneyWorld branded piggy bank) and two rounds of shots and three pitchers later, Nathan gave one of the guys a ride back to the house, where a third roommate was having a house show. Nathan "pulled the trigger" behind a rhododendron so he could stand up straight and stood against the wall by the amp to wait for the urge to get back in the car and actually go home to pass. That's it. That's all he could do.

Jason, who had the house in his name, sided up to him while the band was taking a break.

"Hey! All set for next week? Tell me where to be and I'll help you move stuff, but not Friday because I'm going with Chelsea to Fort Lauderdale and probably not Saturday, either, and-" no any reasonable day that week because Jason was either working, working his side job, at a show, or opening a show with his high school friend with their industrial act. It wasn't that he was a flake, but that he'd rather be anywhere else but with the other people in the house, or the rest of the metal scene. The important part, which Nathan was blessed enough to catch on to the first time was,

"So Rob is still here?"

"Yeah, he's not moving out for another week. He talked about today, but I don't know. Guess something came up. His room isn't too bad, so I think you can come in right after him... of course, if you can pay the rent for that extra week. I don't want to be like that, but y'know."

"Yeah."

"Yeah. So... yeah. I called you Monday, but it went to a payphone."

"Oh." He knew he had forgotten to be somewhere. "Weird." But, for all Jason knew, Nathan wasn't living with his parents, and he wasn't nineteen, either. Nobody asked, but people knowing would just complicate things. Being known meant being questioned, and Nathan couldn't depend on having the answer. He used the BP station payphone for most major business, at least until he was supposed to move in... in another week. Jason folded back into the milieu of the gathering.

When he left the party, it was almost two. He drove someone's girlfriend and her drunk sister home and let them throw up out the door at a stoplight, and pulled into their driveway with his lights off to be given a rushed "thank you" and a show of two girls missing the step and flopping out of his truck into their driveway. Once he could depend on not running them over, he backed out and watched their pale forms fling themselves to and fro on their sideways, stumbling sojourn to the front step.

He drove until he was too tired to keep from swerving and pulled into a Wal-Mart parking lot, stars drowned out by floodlights. He kept a dark blanket jammed behind the seats for this very reason and tucked himself in under the smell of a night where he clearly curled up before changing his clothes. Coping with the sourness of aged puke that gave him very necessary shielding from the lights was so distracting that he couldn't think about turning back, unlocking the doors, and going back to bed like nothing happened, and acting so pissed off the next day that neither of his parents would try to talk to him about it. He carried his own weight, slept in his own disgusting blanket, and checked his glovebox for the money only to find that he had the $350, but needed another $80 at least for the week of rent. Fuck. He fell asleep trying to make a plan to find it.

10 Questions for Writers

wasn't gonna do this bc i thought nobody probably really cares about this stuff but since i got double tagged by @meidui and @sunnysideprincess here goes nothing:

1. how many works do you have on AO3?

32 and climbing!

2. what’s your total AO3 word count?

ugh i had to go into my stats to find this number (hate looking at stats) but to my surprise that number is a whopping 816,828! (if added to my ff.net word count that figure grows to 1,062,375 🤯)

3. what fandoms do you write for?

stony exclusively, though i opened up to the idea of writing for steve and/or tony paired with any mcu villain for marvel trumps hate, and now i'm writing a steve/loki (with steve/tony as endgame) fic that's more fun than i would've anticipated! (x) still wouldn't call myself a "multishipper," though -- more of a serial shipping monogamist ;)

4. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

i do! sometimes i'm a bit slow to respond for various reasons (e.g. when people angels comment on my WIPs i like to reply when/right before a new chapter drops), and on a few occasions i've belatedly encountered comments that i forgot to reply to (😱) that i'll immediately rectify, but i very much want to encourage people to keep leaving them. a single comment—even short/sweet ones!—can be like rocket fuel to my creative drive -- and as someone who finds myself running on empty and trying to get by solely on fumes from time to time, getting that boost in my inbox is truly priceless.

5. have you ever had a fic stolen?

not in whole but in part :(

6. have you ever co-written a fic before?

i don't even know how that would work!

7. what’s your all-time favorite ship?

currently steve/tony. once upon a time it was spock/kirk, and the flame burned so brightly that it troubles me to wonder how it ever managed to go out. i collected vintage zines. i made insanely thoughtful fanmixes (one of which i recorded onto cassette tapes one-at-a-time by hand through a painstaking process and distributed to a few like-minded folks, with hand-drawn cover art and liner notes!). i read AMAZING fic that changed my brain and yet i never wrote a single thing! i made a secret spacehusbands clubhouse underneath a pool table during one long and otherwise unhappy summer. i even made spirk-themed patches and pins that sold quite well on etsy, and turned one of my large back pieces into the central design of a fully decked-out jacket (which was made specifically to wear while loitering around disneyland while baked). here's some photographic evidence of all of the above:

8. what are your writing strengths?

smut-crafting is the obvious answer, but i flatter myself to think that i also manage to tap into a particular kind of haunted beauty that hovers about, casting its ethereal moon-shadow over all the most poignant relationships; something i've been obsessed with in life, that i'm compelled to pursue further in writing.

9. what are your writing weaknesses?

keeping it short. my punctuation can get pretty erratic sometimes. also, this might be a cop-out of an answer since it can be interpreted as a 'strength' but it really can throw me for a loop: i tend to let the characters tell the story 'they' want to tell rather than keeping a tight hold on the reins and sticking to my own agenda -- this can lead me off my intended course, for better or worse! as a storyteller i'm a bit of a pushover—always open to sudden inspiration wherever it might issue from—and steve and tony are such *strong* personalities that this openness can be a problem when i 'channel' them.

10. first fandom you wrote for?

harry potter. i was a bit of a snapewife for awhile there (don't judge). ff.net has been having some server issues so i recently logged back on to download my 245k unfinished epic from 2012, and found over a thousand people had left comments! some people were calling it a "masterpiece" and/or "the best fic [they] ever read [for that pairing]" which made me doubtful, so i skimmed over some of the story expecting it to be cringey but uhhh... it actually holds up? i mean, 2011/12 was quite a time for me: i was simultaneously finishing my thesis on "fandom, fanaticism, and religious fervor" and can recall having full-on religious experiences of my own while writing that [truly 'inspired'] fic, so i guess i was onto something after all!

some of these folks have already been tagged but i'm whispering a soft 'hello' into the ears of @carsonian, @soliloquent-stark, @pia-bartolini, @avengersnewb, @tinystark616 & all writers who aren't as averse to mirror-gazing as i can be

[darkseesyou]

I just watched the trailer for the new Transformers movie... and I have a strange double feeling

On the one hand, I'm glad that the film will contain the backstory to the events of the war on Cybertron. It already looks quite interesting and cool. The effects are good. Of course it’s not a story I’m used to, but oh well. Different universes and everything is different everywhere

But...fuck. The graphics themselves look too childish. Similar to TFE. No. I have nothing against Earthspark. but this is just... a children's series. and the movie trailer gives me the same feeling. The bot designs are so... awkward. as if specially made so that it would be easier to make toys and sell them. The jokes are also at the level of children. The behavior of the characters in the trailer is too childish. as if they are not even adults, but just teenagers. and behave too humanly. Don't know. a very unpleasant feeling when you were expecting something straight... WOW SO COOL, EPIC, BACKSTORY WOOOW. but I got something completely childish.

I'm not asking you to change YOUR opinion and I have nothing against it if you liked the trailer. But personally, he did not provide me with any pleasure. Rather disappointment.. and very much so..

Thank you for your attention. And I'll go cry :,

I'M SEPARATELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE DESIGN OF SOUNDWAVE. WHY DOES HE LOOK PURELY LIKE A CASSETTE DECK ON LEGS WITH A HEAD AND HANDS BUT WITHOUT BODY???

[hirocimacruiser]

Finally got myself a brochure for the Autech Zagato Stelvio based on the F31 Nissan Leopard with bodies shipped to Italy for Zagato to fit the custom bodywork.

"This car was born as it was meant to be. His boundless passion for car building and never-ending challenges have brought the far-flung distances of Milan and Chigasaki closer together. Zagato is a prestigious carrozzeria representing Italy that has produced many famous cars. Autech Japan is proud of its outstanding technology. Here, the biggest dream ever comes to fruition. Its form has a double bubble (two cups) roof shape, a traditional Zagato technique, and has a delicate, detailed beauty that can only be expressed by handcrafting. Its timeless and overwhelming presence will never fail to give endless excitement to all who see it.

The engine and chassis are wrapped in the most beautiful and exciting form. It must naturally have its own outstanding performance. V6 3 liter twin cam turbo engine carefully and thoroughly tuned by Autech Japan. Its overwhelming power performance is a true luxury that can only be afforded to ultra-luxury Gran Turismos. Only the finest materials have been carefully selected for this high-performance interior. Made with high-quality genuine leather and carefully selected wood materials, it exudes a sophisticated atmosphere that can only be achieved by handcrafting. "Stelvio" was developed with the aim of being the best in everything. Limited production of only 200 units."

Stelvio

The name of the highest mountain pass in Europe, at 2757m above sea level, heading towards the Alps. This mountain pass, part of the Ortres Mountains, is famous for its steep slopes and more than 50 unimaginably tight curves. It is the setting for many famous races, including the "CORSA ALLO STELVIO".

[audio-luddite]

Another Album arrived.

I ordered a Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" album. It was recorded about 40 years ago. This one is a MOFI repress, used, and seems in good shape.

The album was recorded in a Caribbean island on the side of a volcano. The tape deck was a 24 track Sony digital machine. It was originally released on CD and became Dire Straits' biggest hit.

The album won the Grammy for engineering in 1986. I have two other DS albums, but had never got around to this one. (PS turns out I had, I just lost it in the shelf)

MOFI works to get the best sound out of the best masters and they are pretty good at it. They did this one about 10 years ago for vinyl.

I streamed the album last week and liked the music. I wondered why I had not bought it before. The next step of course was to see what was available. If I can get gourmet issues I do. A local shop had this one. Apparently Mofi has some for sale on its site as of yesterday.

It cost about the same money, but with the exchange rate and no duty it was better.

I unwrapped the thing. It is a 2 x 180 @ 45 skate board trick LP. At least it is labeled as 45 rpm. So annoying when they don't do that.

Of course I wiped it down and played it. Gotta be sure its OK. It was. There are stories about the sessions which are kinda fun. Like the set up for the Guitar amplifier's speaker being accidental and really good for "money for nothing." People quitting and being brought in and some tracks getting lost. Usual Rock and Roll nonsense.

Occasionally something grabs my attention. I was getting familiar with the songs from the streams. I liked the sound. Sting's vocal on "money.." was kinda floating around. It was a bit less resolved than the stream, but not in a bad way.

But on side 4 (double album) the sound of the guitar on "The man's too strong" was really different than the stream. When the side finished I played it again. Then I fired up the stream of the same song. OK I suppose I may be exaggerating a bit, but the LP was far more complex and rich sounding.

This particular track had a ringer guitar player brought in and he used a "Synth Guitar". The sound is crazy, metallic, rich, and solid. In the stream the notes are there, but they do not hit you as hard. Over the whole album this was the most noticeable difference. I cannot tell if it is distortion from the guitar amp or something snythy. It just has very rich harmonics. Did the lossless people clean it up a bit?

This was a digital recording from the start. It was originally released on CD and followed with LPs and Cassettes (oh the 80s). This was the first album to sell more CDs than LPs.

Even though it sold very well the critics initially were rather negative. They wanted more edge or something. The Fans disagreed. So much for experts. Later reviews were better.

Digital aint bad by itself. It only sucks when abused by ham fisted engineers. This was an early DDD recording when that acronym meant as much as AAA does to vinylphiles today. Maybe Micheal Fremer can tell pure analog from digital. He has his preference. Oh and he produced a recent Jazz album on digital. Funny guy.

I am glad I spent the money. I will have another go tonight.

Interstate lines

I'm doubling bodies down the thinning line

two sides of a faded billboard sign

an angel perched on the shoulder of the I-65

holding my breath like I could live half a life

all my limbs fractured in another man's hit a run

odd angles making it hard to move on

strapped the seat belt severing my blood line

frayed edges like another passed sign

it still feels like a blade pressed against my neck

scratching like that 1984 cassette deck

caught on tape like a shadow in the southern sun

nowhere to go and nowhere to run

my mama said to always keep up my chin

but it's still scars me with all that could've been

like a roadside creature decaying in the southern sun

I've always had that devil riding shotgun

turning up the heat so we won't go up in flames

engine rattling with all my past names

I always survive but I can never leave it behind

backseat pile-up so high the rearview's gone blind

wholly covered in dust and it bites

twenty-four and crying at passing gas station lights

been praying to the radio stations for so long

strike me down at the finish line drawn

save me from flipping coins out the console

who knew chasing this straightaway high takes its toll

passing highway signs like I'm just a roadie

but right now I'm just eroding

all these steering wheel bruises on my knees

squeezing the blood around the cut of my keys

rambling on with all my haggard edges worn down

I'm just another strange face in an unknown town

I've lost myself in the land of the free

but the rearview mirror reflection is still me

how I've come so far without moving up a mile

so fucking angry at myself all the while

always looking out for that white car to pass me by

but there's nothing around here but desert dry

so I missed my exit a couple of states ago

my taillight's still busted and the transmission's slow

metal to blacktop sparks like the fourth of july

if I can't ride just let me fucking die

'cause I’ll keep going on when I burn through the motor

and there won't be a tomorrow if I don't pull over

so I hope God just lets me die today

give me forever riding down heaven's highway

'cause I've seen too many nights gone stone cold

torn backseat leather and no hand to hold

I'm so fucking sick and tired of riding on my own

should've known these roads don't lead home

[previous part & next part]

Game Review: Ray Mears’ Survival Chimney (Commodore 64)

10/10

"Ray Mears’ Survival Chimney" for the Commodore 64 is a groundbreaking title that pushes the boundaries of 80s gaming technology. Players take on the role of Ray Mears, a seasoned outdoorsman, navigating the treacherous terrain of the Wrangell Volcanic Field in East Alaska. The game begins with Ray traversing mountainous forests, battling wild bears, wolves, and even fending off cutthroat media executives who either want him dead or offer miserly deals. As you progress, you'll collect essential climbing gear—ropes, pegs, hand cream, and Kendal mintcake—all crucial for the ultimate challenge: scaling the largest natural chimney. The goal is to sketch a rare wasp and sell the proof to National Geographic, the highest paying media publication.

A unique feature of this game is its 300-page guidebook, helping players code and complete a realistic 16 colour digital sketch using a combination of key presses and joystick clicks, a task that skilled players can accomplish in around 51 hours. The game’s difficulty is heightened by the chimney's natural tilt and fierce Alaskan winds, which threaten to blow away your equipment. Mastering the left-right timings is essential to protect your kit and succeed. This is one of the most advanced Commodore 64 games to date, with the cassette deck running at double speed to support the fast framerates and an exhilarating techno soundtrack by 808 State.

"Ray Mears’ Survival Chimney" offers a challenging, immersive experience that elevates Ray Mears' public persona to new heights. Prepare to sketch your way to victory, and stay tuned for the anticipated sequel, "Ray Mears' Ural Sinkhole "

These are all the components that I had through the years... wow.

That silver Technics receiver, man that thing cooked power wise. Rated at 100 watts but I would bet it had more than that. Had it for years until I replaced it with the Sony ... it cooks too at 100 watts per channel.

The first Technics Turntable was Belt Drive with a Shure MM Phono Cartridge. Fully Automatic, not sure of the model. Hard to say. There were a lot of them at that time.

That black Aiwa tape Deck, had to be the best Cassette recorder, ever. With Dolby C on a metal tape, it rivaled the best LP or CD. Annoying though because one channel quit. Had to replace an entire electronic display to fix it. Grrr.

The Linear Phase Speakers were not powerful enough for the SA828, replaced with the 4 way Speakers. Nice clear sound but like all bass reflex ... a little light on the low end. They were heavy too and awkward. About 30 lbs.

Their replacement was the DB Plus 1212s. Man what a speaker! The sound was outstanding. But the size of them! They were as big and heavy as a Subaru and cost just as much lol.

The second Turntable QX300 still rock n rolls today with the Sony AV Receiver and a Sony Double Cassette Deck.

The Bookshelf Sony Speakers rival many in their class today ...

Hadn't tried the stuff in years because I got into Smart phones and laptops and PCs and Social media... but wow!!!

That system still cooks, years and years later.

There is a huge interest in the vintage components and I can see why because they don't make em like they used to.

[voskhodart]

Tapes! We got tapes. So many.

Starting off with some really cool stuff, courtesy of my brother.

Shame me as you will, but I have been going this whole time without a tape cleaner. This one is brand new! (Or, it was in 2001. And nobody ever used it!)

Next up is… a birthday card. On VHS! Technology is a beautiful thing. This one has some of the coolest packaging I’ve seen.

And lastly, the MCA studios tape. I haven’t had the chance to play this one yet, so I have no idea what it actually is. But it seems potentially really cool. Universal’s MCA Recording Studio opened with the Universal Studios Florida park in 1990, but closed in 1996, so it’s pretty neat to have an artifact from that short period. I can’t find anything similar to this tape online, so I guess I’ll just have to crack it open myself to see what it is.

On to some junk I bought today with my own hard-earned 60¢.

Are the Jurassic Park sequels any good? I don’t know. But I’m sure they’re better than the shitfest that Jurassic World was. And now I own them forever.

The Water Colors tape describes itself as a “classic forging of motion picture and music” that “pays homage to the endless cycle of waves, carved landscapes, breathtaking waterfalls and geysers that are water’s gift to us all”. Seems like a good thing to play in the background while I’m working on stuff.

As usual, I am obligated to buy every National Geographic tape I find. This one is about killer whales. Cute whale on the cover. You get it.

The Discover Channel tape caught my eye because it is completely nondescript on the outside. It’s unfortunately a Jesus documentary on the inside, but the outside os pretty sick.

And finally… that which shall not be named. Harry Potter sucks, yes, but I couldn’t resist being one of the only people on the planet to own a copy of a Harry Potter film that is absolutely not giving a penny to Miss Transphobia 202X.

But we’re not done. Oh no no. It is time for my special awesome machine. Her name is JVC KD-W110 Stereo Double Cassette Deck and we will be having intimate relations later. I’m currently using an old headset to hear her noises because I don’t have any speakers on hand, but it still sounds really really good.

I’ll probably make myself some mixtapes if I can get the recording working. I should have Amigo the Devil’s new album coming in on cassette in a few weeks, so it’ll be fun to play that on here too.
