I'm ecstatic to announce I now have my own personal website! It took a lot of tweaking, but I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Walked about 21,000 steps yesterday in the heart of Vancouver yesterday, then played a fun set with @thennecan.bsky.social at the Pearl. Thanks for an unforgettable night, @bonusstagevan.bsky.social ! Hope I'll get to come visit again someday.

After #BonusStageUltimate, check out Vancouver Game Expo by @vangameconnect.ca! Games, artists, vendors, prizes, what more could you need?!

And what's better, you could win tickets to the Expo by taking part in Bonus Stage Ultimate's Cosplay or Name That Tune Contests! It's a win-win!

PSA: deep dish pizza is the longest running scam in the fast food industry. you get roughly double the volume of dough, but the ingredients don't proportionally increase. yet few people complain.

imagine if you bought a burrito that had a 2:1 tortilla:stuffing ratio. you'd be livid!

nearly every guitarist eventually yearns for the yoke of simplicity on stage, for better or worse. i love my digital rig, but there's something freeing about running direct into an amp and not having to worry about any of the minutiae that should only matter in the studio.

we haven't saved daylight at all, it's pitch black out. wtf is this shit

Organist just played the Attack on Titan theme again, c’mon man I know you’ve been practicing Cruel Angel’s Thesis on off days. This is your moment.

i heartily recommend everyone make at least one nemesis. you're not really living your life to the fullest if you aren't plotting someone else's destruction, while they do the same to you

The stupid timeline we're living in just got stupider. I don't even have words for it. How could I?

even a cheap melitta pour-over cone can make better coffee than a pod machine.

please stop using keurigs and git gud. you'll probably even be healthier for it in the long run, because those machines attract tons of microbes and accumulate mold.

oh wait i see it now, by [gdc] they mean "gamedev detention camp", because it's where international attendees risk ending up. they even included the brackets to symbolize the fences. 💀

i don't know why anyone would attempt coming right now. it's way too dangerous.
We're changing the game.

bell beast is the best thing to come out of silksong and i will not be convinced otherwise.

SPOTIFY: (holds hand up) "what's this then. we'll need ID if you want to be on here, mate"
USER: "ID? why would i need ID"
SPOTIFY: "we don't know if you're old enough to be in DMs"
USER: "then why'd you add DMs to begin with. i'm just here for music-"
SPOTIFY: "MUSIC?!? get out! GET OUT! GET OUT!!"
Spotify is introducing DMs.

Later this week, users 16 and older will be able to message one-on-one on the app.

watching the working class collectively fumble at achieving class consciousness is frustrating. everyone implicits understands the system is broken, but few realize it's designed to fence you in. it's a midway game designed to take as much of your resources as possible. there is no prize, just bait.

(Sigh.) In a few hours, I need to take a trip to Switzerland for my grandfather's funeral, and I have 20 bucks to my name.

If anybody is able to help me cover the (not already otherwise) covered expenses of the trip, I would be massively grateful.

making a coffee frappe at home, and I was suddenly reminded about David Lynch and his search for the perfect milkshake. I should try to make a milkshake next!

they're not even trying to make their arguments against green energy intelligible or coherent anymore. the status quo is relying entirely on voters being gullible dumb fucks who will believe anything FOX tells them to.

unfortunately for the rest of us, this appears to be a winning strategy.
Burgum: "When the sun goes down, you have a catastrophic failure called sunset and there's no solar energy produced, and yet we're subsidizing these things that are intermittent, unreliable, and expensive. We've gotta get back to base load."

Hey, #gameaudio and #composer folk. I don't want to keep supporting Microsoft when they're doing stuff like this, so I want to divest myself of them completely. Is there a Linux distro that's VST and DAW-friendly? Or am I up shit creek?
