@djlink@mastodon.gamedev.place The perfect setup to say, "With lasers," and instead he decides to go for the gnostic priesthood thing. I bet he doesn't even know. Lasers. We burned them with lasers.

@djlink Putting tape over the holes on a cassette tape so that you can record over it. Pressing record when the song you want comes on the radio. Handwritten labels. Those were the hands on times.

@djlink I'm confused...why did Chloe have follow-up questions for the internet, but not her cousin, who, presumably, could have cleared up all the misunderstanding directly? But then, if this is a misunderstanding, why put 'burn' in quotation marks? It implies Chloe did in fact understand the whole time and now I just don't know what to think about any of this.

@djlink Funny thing about this post: In an episode of "Lost Girl" Bo (a fae succubus) and Kenzi (her adorable criminal BFF) return to Bo's hometown to see her adopted mother, only to find that an evil spirit is murdering people. They also find that a redneck ex-goth and some friends conjured that evil spirit with black magic, and one of the things they did to complete the ritual was set a CD of "Antichrist Superstar" by Marilyn Manson on fire.

@djlink I don't know what modern equivalent is other than playlists for self. We never pirated or shared mix tapes or CDs. We only made Audio CDs of our own recordings. We did experiment with making Video CDs for a while (from live recorded tapes or Off air), but DVDs made those obsolete. I made some mix Minidiscs, not to be confused with 8cm CDs (AKA mini CDs).

@StarkRG@myside-yourside.net 2026-04-13 14:31
@djlink The burning of the sacred discs provided the music of the beforetimes, while the screams of the machine carried the knowledge, and we used high-energy electron beams to feed the information directly into our brains through our eye sockets.

@djlink Creating shared playlists on Spotify... which the crush can delete whenever they need "boundaries". I think the point is that we live in an age where we can just delete memories and big parts of our lives when it makes us uncomortable instead of holding place for people and times that make up our lives. Discomfort is part of growing.

@djlink The modern equivalent? You don't have a human crush but talk love to a LLM which you prompt to add songs to your playlist. #modernTimes #VeryDarkCynism

@djlink What do they mean "used to"? I'm not giving my money to a streaming service that advertises for ICE. Bring on the burning!

@djlink The technique actually goes back to the Romans. Nero did already burn ROM(e) (yes, it was a German company, hence Rom instead of Rome or Roma)
-
@retrosponge@kind.social 2026-04-13 20:10
@djlink I don't think there is any modern equivalent because nothing takes the passion and devotion of making anything now that a mixtape took back in the day. Making a playlist takes five minutes.

@djlink my partner and I basically live in separate music bubbles. Everything is so curated to your specific niche that besides the odd pop hit, there is no semblance of common ground to even entertain sharing a playlist. We’ve been together for over a decade and this is seriously *the* biggest issue, a refusal of compromise over opening up to either of our disparate tastes

@djlink Hosted playlists where some of the items might magically disappear later in the future (never mind that you can also skip them at will) are...sadly not remotely similar to mix tapes

@djlink Fire was only used with Nickelback CDs, and only to destroy them.
