the thing that upsets me about this the most is that Dems had all the momentum, republicans were reeling, and we were getting intra-GOP fighting over the filibuster, all while voters were blaming republicans for their incompetence
this destroys all of this. just a total gut punch

Belated NGD post for my new Music Man Cutlass HT, after buying B-Stock and cashing in unused CC rewards, snagged for about half MSRP+tax.
I swapped out the black pickguard for a white one to contrast the body.
Music Man electronics don’t fuck around, that was a nail biter for a bit!

Had a complete computer failure this weekend where apparently it was my Mac Studio's final shut down.
I have Apple Care, so I took it in and they've told me they have no idea what happened by apparently something died in either the display I/O chip or the Logic Board.

This is literally everyone in the vgm scene passing the same $30 to each other at MAGfest every year for merch, except no one is doing a cool cover of Armored Armadillo and also the economy is collapsing
AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.
This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.
Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.
Be warned.

The hardest part about arranging 6 songs that are very similar, is taking the time to try and find ways to make each one sound like its own individual experience.

Thinking about shooting videos for covers again but it’s hard to motivate myself cuz 1) I’m lazy and 2) the views/exposure to effort ratio is low as fuck.

Also, for no reason whatsoever I have been plagued by the Monster Arena Theme from Final Fantasy X, since in the PS4 Remaster they didn't actually do a new version of it.
Which is thoroughly aggravating because it's one song you are exposed to A LOT if you do any sort of completionist run.
