Opinions
Wrote a positive comment on AIVA as an alternative to ecrett musicAIVA generates usable and highly polished music and even includes MIDI export, which is a big deal for those wanting to use their own instrument setups. And on their highest subscription tier, users get full rights to the music they generate, a very big deal for those concerned about licensing or wanting to add vocals or create remixes.
ChipTone's classic, synth-like design makes it more intuitive and the tiny graphic details make it more accessible and visually pleasing.
Wrote a positive comment on Furnace Tracker as an alternative to DefleMaskThis thing is a beast! It's incredibly well designed, fast, stable and feature-complete, supporting a breathtaking number of chips. Probably the easiest tracker I've ever picked up as well and it's just a thing of beauty to see something of this caliber in the open-source space.

Wrote a positive comment on CudaText as an alternative to Visual Studio CodeUnlike VS Code, CudaText is a native app so it loads and generally feels much faster. It uses a very similar interface with accessible project browser, command palette, minimap and more. CudaText additionally bundles a Python terminal as well as an easy-to-use template system for creating Python-based addons.
Doesn't think Media Player Classic is an alternative to SmoothVideo Project
Wrote a positive comment on CHRONO TRIGGER as an alternative to Octopath TravelerPractically the same gameplay mechanics including storytelling elements, save points, random encounters and tactical, turn-based battles. Octopath Traveler's hybrid 2D/3D visual style far exceeds all other modern day JRPGs but Chrono Trigger still holds its own with gorgeous pixel art.
