Why are radios so generic? I mean why do they always have to play songs that already everyone knows about?
Their strength in times of the internet and algorithms is to get people out of their bubbles and present them good music from more unknown bands. Especially because algorithms support bubbles, radios could be a movement against them. They could support small artists and make it easier for them to get big.
Do #radio stations like this exist? And if not, am I missing something?

🧬 Genetic Predisposition to Narcissistic Traits: What Recent Studies Say 🧠
Recent research suggests that narcissistic personality traits may have a genetic component. Twin and family studies indicate that genetics can account for a significant part of the variability in narcissistic behaviors. However, genes are not destiny—environmental factors, such as upbringing and life experiences, also play a crucial role in shaping how these traits develop.
Understanding the genetic influence helps us approach narcissism with more empathy and supports efforts in early intervention and therapy. Whether you are navigating narcissistic tendencies in yourself or others, knowledge is key to healing and growth. 🌱✨

🧠 Oxytocin & Dopamine: The Neurochemistry of Validation Addiction 🧠
When we seek validation, our brain releases oxytocin and dopamine — the “feel-good” chemicals. Oxytocin fosters connection, while dopamine reinforces rewarding behaviors. This can lead to an addiction to external approval, making us overly reliant on others’ validation for self-worth.
Understanding this helps us break the cycle. Healing means cultivating self-validation and healthy boundaries instead of chasing constant external affirmation. Remember, your worth isn’t defined by likes or compliments, but by your authentic self. 💛 #NPD #MentalHealth #SelfWorth
🔗 Attachment theory exploited to keep the partner "tied."
Attachment theory explains how early bonds shape our relationships. Unfortunately, in some unhealthy dynamics, this natural desire for closeness is manipulated. A narcissistic partner might exploit their partner's attachment needs—like fear of abandonment or desire for security—to maintain control and keep them emotionally "tied."
Recognizing this pattern can be empowering. Healing involves building secure attachments with oneself and learning to set boundaries. Remember: healthy love is based on mutual respect, not control. 💙 #AttachmentTheory #NarcissisticAbuse #HealingJourney

Anyway, here's CGA Trek!
It's my deep historical dive into a genre going back to 1971 that started with a game that was played on printers not monitors.
It also has some of my best art direction adhering to a strict magenta and cyan 4-colour CGA palette.
But ultimately, it's my loving letter to the classic EGA Trek game from the 1990s.
