After 4 years of making only one video about Dark Souls 3 and then not turning it properly into a series, today I'm righting that wrong!
Dark Souls 3 Dissected is back with a brand new episode about its Invisible Walls and weird collisions!

My schedule's opening up a bit in a few weeks. If anyone has some music they're making to benefit Minneapolis and/or people negatively impacted by the fascist nightmare we're facing, I'd be happy to do some pro-bono mixing and/or mastering. Hit me up with your project and let's talk details.

I'm pretty bummed (but not surprised) about discord shitting the bed.
?ServerName? is invaluable. That's going to be an extremely important archive of souls modding and datamining resources for a long time.
But I hope new platforms rise to the occasion, they're not getting my ID.

I have what's maybe a hot take about recording concerts with your cell phone.
It's mostly cool and good!
It's easy to have a cynical take along the lines of "you shouldn't be on your phone, you should be in the moment!" or whatever cliche makes you feel like you're better at appreciating art...

I agree, but I also see this as a stepping stone to something bigger.
This May 1st one wouldn't be happening without the smaller local ones happening first.
So we go all in on stuff like single day strikes, for now, to network and build coalitions to harness an enthusiasm for shutting things down.

We can not strike for 1 day and expect to see change. It will only be viewed as a minor inconvenience. We will have to push for a minimum of a week to see progress. I will support any strike but we also have to be realistic

If this used generative AI in its creation (currently no allegations of that), I'm happy to throw this under the bus.
But at the moment I hope everyone who acted super dense about the zombie crawling can understand why being outraged about physics-based animation like it's gen AI is nonsense.

The team who appeared in the viral clip of Studio Ghibli's Hayao Miyazaki calling their AI zombie movement prototype "an insult to life itself" has a game out next week, which appears to have evolved from that prototype.

Thinking about potential inspiration from MtG in the Souls series, I'm a bit curious if there's any connection with how the miracle Wrath of the Gods is a big circular explosion.
Notably, though the localization is slightly different in English, the Japanese name for both is exactly the same, 神の怒り.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

While not part of the recent EP, the music of Gimmick!, composed by Masashi Kageyama, meant a lot to me and a bunch of friends of mine.
Here's an unreleased cover I played drums on of Strange Memories of Death. Recorded in 2011, from a project that wasn't completed:

Masashi Kageyama was one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of (briefly, digitally) encountering and he was taken from us far too soon. I think he'd be heartened by this.
Releasing this weekend and available for pre order right now, please check out our latest charity release Lion Heart: A Tribute to Masashi Kageyama! This album was created over a week. Proceeds will go to the Gastric Cancer Foundation.

Looking forward to this. I realize a lot of us aren't glued to the news every day for our own sanity, so planning a massive, prolonged general strike with more advance time is the inevitable evolution of all of this.
May 1st seems like a ways off but keep an eye out for other possible dates too.

Organic efforts like Jan 30th shutdown, which affected hundreds of businesses & schools nationwide, show that with more backing a nationwide General Strike is possible.
