That thing you could've sworn you existed, remembered existed and how it has now turned into a great wonder of a chase to acquire again after so long. What is that thing for you?

Mine is discovering what music was played during an old internet radio show I still listen to was. The episodes I'm listening to are 21 years old now and for years I wondered what specific tracks were played on that show that I so want copies of. In one of the episodes, the host mentions that the backing music is from Digitally Imported now known as DI.FM.

However, that doesn't do me any good since newer music is played now on that platform and with no hint or source telling me what tracks were played on that show in show notes or even word of mouth, I've no hope in tracking them down. So for so long, I've had to listen to this show's episodes almost religiously, just because of the music that was played.

And my only hope now is tinkering with audio tools so I can figure a way to rip out the parts where the hosts are talking so it is just the music, then go around online asking people who're more expert on the genre than I am to tell me, then find them and download them.

I've posted this on reddit back in the day, both on r/tipofmytongue and r/tipofmyjoystick.

There was a free indie game that I installed on my Windows PC back in the 2000s. I don't know where I got it, but I don't think it was Steam. The game was a 2D platformer where the main character was I think a red cat. I remember it being kind of fast paced, and you had a sword, and at one point can shoot lasers or something which played into the platforming (I think charging it and shooting it downwards gave you like a double jump? I'm not 100% sure if this is accurate).

I've tried so hard to find this game again, but time and time again I've come up empty.

Some more details, though it's very foggy at this point:

  • I think there was a level select screen, kinda similar to like Mario 3
  • There is the typical friendly village level where you can talk to NPCs
  • I think one level was on top of a train.
  • It may not even be a cat, but I always thought it looked like one.
  • The game was a digital download, pretty sure I got it from an indie game dev's website showcasing his games and projects, and I'm not 100% sure the game was finished.
