Besides restoring the classic LucasArts/LucasfilmGames box artworks, I've also given some of their soundtracks a make-over. 20 years ago I just worked with simple soundfonts, but by now I've switched to more capable virtual instruments. So, here's a thread showcasing some of that work!

This year ties 2020 to be the most affordable Thanksgiving dinner on record. It takes 1.9 hrs worth of labor to afford a dinner for ten. I take the nominal price of dinner calculated by the Farm Bureau, and divide it by the average wage of nonsupervisory and production workers
