Getting the hyperpickaxe in FFXIV is gonna drive me insane :p I’m on the final step though.

Reminds me of the grind for the golden pickaxe achievement item in a realm reborn, except this time i have to pay attention because of the mining requirements.

Almost there.

Forgive Oneself 🎵

-1 degrees F currently. Gonna be-5 or so later. 💀

This might be the first time I’ve seen minus weather. Probably

Zeta 🎵

From my 2011 album "From Alpha to Omega". It's a weird drum and bass track I guess? The tempo changes a few times though, so it might just be electronic music. Kinda crazy song.

Got the (I think) second stage of the first purple cosmic tool for miner in FFXIV. Quite a bit of work to get the next stage. I like the new gathering/crafting zone, although I have to mute that music lol.

If for some reason, I don't write any more music, I'm happy leaving behind my "Legacy" (Albums 2011-2025). I'm not planning on stopping, just wanted it to be clear that I'm really proud of what I've accomplished.

Writing new music is proving to be difficult, trying to change my workflow and all.

FFXIV is going well. My girlfriend started playing :) I've been focusing on allied society quests (dawntrail), daily regular hunts for seals/nuts, and cosmic exploration which seems cool and I'm looking forward to the next area.

I guess I'm also working on a phantom weapon? Only 2 demiatma in.

Epsilon 🎵

One of my favorite songs from my 2011 album From Alpha to Omega. This was my 2nd album, and the whole point of the album was to have fun and do different "mostly dance" stuff. This song feels like it has a very positive energy.

Forgotten 🎵

From the 2019 album Madness. This song is more "experiment" than song. It plays the same section a few times, but each time, notes are taken away, and a noise takes over. Meant to express the feeling of forgetting someone.

I'm officially back to playing FFXIV (subscribed and everything). Which means Diablo IV will most likely be shelved until next season.

If anyone plays FFXIV and would like to play sometime, or have a (cross-world?) linkshell I can join, let me know :) I'm on Primal - Excalibur.

I see lots of stuff online that makes me glad I’m not famous. I don’t think i could handle that much attention.

Yeah I’m still thinking about that dream :p

Anyway i need to write music soon or I’ll scream.
January 22, 2026 at 4:48 PM
I jumped back into FFXIV for the 4-day free period (and also my girlfriend is thinking of playing). There is a lot I need to figure out. I also need to remember how to play :P

My music is meant to be fun, hopefully enjoyable, and coherent (and a bit repetitive :p).

I don't think my music is groundbreaking. My goal is not to make people feel. It's meant to just be listened to, maybe as background music.

Sometimes maybe catchy, with simple melodies. Nothing fancy.

Got a “perfect” mythic Shroud of False Death (all greater affixes) in Diablo IV. First time for me getting a perfect mythic :)

Although sanctification added 14 item quality.

The season that keeps on giving!

Had a dream yesterday. Hard to explain, but in the dream, i watched a movie trailer where afterwards, i realized i was the main character in the movie.

I felt important, significant, like a somebody. Made me realize i don’t feel that way normally.

I feel pointless, boring, a nobody.

No no no

I'm still having trouble writing music. At this rate, I'm going to have to go back to the old methods. See, a lot has changed with my setup.

I got a new DAW. Added a midi keyboard. And I'm trying to learn the program, and use the keyboard instead of manually punching in notes like I usually do.

Musictoid: Karn Evil 9 🎵

The whole damn thing! Before Octavarium came along to become my favorite long song, I listened to this one quite often most of my life. By Emerson, Lake & Palmer from their album Brain Salad Surgery. A good time if you got the time

Countdown 🎵

Seems to be a highly viewed song in the past 7 days. This was originally an experiment around 2005 or so messing with different time signatures. This version was created in 2019 for Ad Lib Vol. 6 Part 2. Very synthy, like most of my music :p

Feeling a bit discouraged. I still don't know what to do at this point musically. I'm about 5 seconds away from just opening the DAW and punching in notes, hoping for the best.

My 52-track album to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of Walking in Circles probably won't happen anytime soon.

I am a combination of "this is concerning" and "Meh let's see what happens". I've been noticing a tightness in my left arm the past few days. Last night I also felt tightness on the left side of my chest close to the arm.

I'll keep an eye on it but if I die, hey you were cool :p

Beyond Hope 🎵

Written in 2021 for the album "Sadness". Tried to capture the feeling of hopelessness in this one. Not sure if I succeeded, but it sounds nice.

Ex-Warrior Alpha 🎵

From the 2024 album ADBC III. This song was started back in 2010, but never finished until this release. I have a folder of stuff I never completed, and thought this would be a good one to finally get done :) I guess a space side-shooter song?

I'm going to be 45 in March, and as far as I'm concerned, I probably won't live much longer than that. I'm fine with life or death at this point. I just don't live healthy. I'm surprised I haven't had a heart attack yet. But I only have a few vices. Mainly food and a tiny bit of alcohol.
