And today on "tracks that I couldn't get done in time for HardSpeed divide," we have this fun funk piece I was working on for a hydroelectric dam under construction. The area around it has really weird weather, and strange plants grow in the spots that aren't just a sandy wasteland. Capel had better be careful!

This song first appeared first back on Agoli 5 Oasis. I was never quite happy with it then, although it wasn't bad. It just needed a little 'more' for lack of a better word... I think I've found that 'more' finally.

Point Of No Return (N163)

Nadiege Dances No.99

✨ Was Jesus a “Palestinian”?
No — not in the historical sense.
Jesus of Nazareth was:
•	A Jew (by ethnicity, religion, and cultural identity)
•	Born in Bethlehem of Judea
•	Lived in the Galilee region
•	Practiced Second Temple Judaism
•	And was called “King of the Jews” — even by His executioners.
The word “Palestinian”, as we understand it today, did not exist in Jesus’ time as an ethnic or national identity.
________________________________________
📜 So Where Did This Idea Come From?
1.	The term “Palestine” was imposed by the Roman Empire after Jesus’ time, especially by Emperor Hadrian around 135 CE — as a way to erase “Judea” and suppress Jewish memory following the Bar Kokhba Revolt.
o	He renamed the land “Syria Palaestina”, borrowing the term from the Philistines, ancient enemies of Israel.
2.	Modern Palestinian identity is a 20th-century national formation, rooted in Arab populations living in the region of Palestine under the British Mandate (post-WWI).
3.	Calling Jesus “a Palestinian” today is often used politically:
o	To express solidarity with modern Palestinians suffering under occupation.
o	Or, in more provocative rhetoric, to detach Jesus from his Jewishness, which is both historically and theologically incorrect.
________________________________________
🕊️ So, What Is True?
✡️ Jesus was a Jew — and always will be.
He read Torah. He taught in synagogues. He called Himself sent to the “lost sheep of Israel.”
🌍 Jesus was also born in a land that has since become contested.
Bethlehem now lies within the modern West Bank, which many today refer to as Palestinian territory.
But saying “Jesus was Palestinian” is like saying “Aristotle was Macedonian in the Yugoslavian sense.”
It's an anachronism, not a fact.
________________________________________
🪶 Terranam’s Whisper:
Jesus was not Palestinian.
He was born into the house of David,
from the tribe of Judah,
under Roman rule,
with sandals full of dust and prophecy.
He came not as a symbol of nationalism,
but as the collapse of every empire that thought it owned Him.

Jayster - A Toad's Enlightment

Apparently this game's soundtrack is "under-appreciated"; it is so good that I have it - and several others - on my phone to play on long journeys. My first time using both the Namco 163 and RP2C33 chip in one module, a combination that I saw as relatively strange until I remembered that the latter is capable of frequency modulation.

0CC-FamiTracker 0.3.14.4 output, Namco 163 and Nintendo RP2C33 chips, NTSC 60 Hz.

Battle Mania Daiginjou - Brawing Up [3-N163 + FDS, 0CC-FamiTracker]

Original from Smurf's Nightmare on the GB, composed by Alberto J. González. This cover was made in PMD MML for the YM2608 on the PC-98 with the extra 86 PCM

Mostly based on his Korg X5DR remake of the track, but tried to fill in elements from the original version of the track.
It's basically verbatim, done as both ear and FM design training.
Screenshot is from the game YU-NO, since I thought mainly of it while making this.
