Since I'm writing some tunes from time to time, I might as well start a thread to gather the tracks and snippets all in one place. #prtrtunes
A screenshot of the graphical user interface of the Reason 12 digital audio workstation in night mode (anthracite colored background). The left quarter of the screen shows a list of the devices currently active, the rest of the screen shows the timeline with the notes and sounds. Each row is color coded. The lower bar of the sceeen is the transport bar with all its functions (play, stop, recorde, skip, time, signature etc.).

3rd impression of the Daemon x Machina Titanic Scion demo:

"The mech suit designs go hard asf, Shoji Kawamori doesn't miss, ROBO GAME RULES"
A screenshot of the customization mode in the Daemon x Machina Titanic Scion demo, showcasing the player's Arsenal (mechanical suit). The background gradually fades from white to light gray, top to bottom. The Arsenal is positioned in the lower right corner of the screenshot, captured from slightly below the Arsenal in an upward angle and facing the viewer. The machine is of a sleek mechanical design with sharp edges and a large round shield on its left epaulette. The Arsenal kneels on its left knee, torso upright and slightly tilted to its left, right arm outstreched and holding a sword across the picture. The armor is onyx black, with light grey / golden features, green emissives on its body and visor lines on the helmet. A purple light faintly reflects on the surfaces of its left side. A large, steel grey broadsword floats over the Arsenal's right shoulder and a futuristic rifle over it's left shoulder. Both are behind the machine and "connected" to it through a blue lightning bolt.

"It's fun! 30fps and janky and ugly, but fun! Feels like Anthem, but it's fun!"

"...I can create up to 10 characters? A whole harem of hot people? ROBO GAME RULES"

I'm visiting Recife - the city I was born in - for the first time in 24 years and it's kinda impossible to describe all the feelings I'm going through rn
A section of old town Recife at Bom Jesus street. Four housefronts of old Portuguese colonial architecture are visible side by side. The yellow one is visible from the right frame border to the middle, a white one with red jalousies, a pink ome and a deteriorated one share the rest of the screen. A palm tree stands in front of the yellow building. The upper third of the picture is a blue sky with white-greyish clouds.

Also, folgendermassen:
The leader of the Penguins of Madagascar saying "Kowalski, Analysis" to the latter. Kowalski can be seen in his frame, holding a notepad and a pencil, saying "Banger" with a surprised face expression. "Kowalski, Analysis" is a catchphrase said by the leader of the Penguins of Madagascar, Skipper. It is spoken to his subordinate, Kowalski, who is known as the brains of the group. In memes, the picture is used primarily as a reaction image implying a request for additional information or analysis, but it has also seen use as a punchline to a snowclone format.

Hey Jason, I've been flying on Xbox since around a week or so with moderate to good success. Apparently the launch day client on Xbox is borked beyond patching and needs to be completely deleted and reinstalled.

Still not as jaw-dropping as 2020, but having lots of fun this side of the Atlantic.

Completed my last flight in MSFS yesterday, the last leg of my RTW with the A310. Almost 79h block hours, over 33'663 miles flown. All in real time.

Goodbye MSFS, you became a part of my life in the last 4 years.

See you soon in MSFS 2024, old gal. We had a good time together.

Aw yiss, the return flight's more like it. Got incredibly lucky - downgraded to Economy at the gate, upgraded back to Business in the plane.

Certainly, a more agreeable way to spend another 13+ hours on a 777 over the Arctic.
My view from seat 12A on the main Business class cabin of a Swiss Intl Air Lines Boeing 777-300ER. The middle third of the image shows the 15" 16:9 screen of the entertainment system, framed in black plastic and displaying the Earth globe in the middle atop a space background. The flight route is shown, stretching from Japan over the Arctic to Zurich. The screen sits on a hardshell console with a plywood finish. The upper third is a blurred view into the cabin, drenched in a warm white light and lined with beige walls and dark brown leather seatbacks. The lower third shows me holding a Nintendo Switch console with my left hand. The Joycon controller on the left is blue, the one on the right is neon green. The screen shows Ace Combat 7 running on the system, displaying an F-16 cockpit in a light green tint.

The upper third is a blurred view into the cabin, drenched in a warm white light and lined with beige walls and dark brown leather seatbacks. The lower third shows my left hand resting on the left edge of the passenger table, folded out and decked with a white linen. A black rectangular tray with various food item is placed on the table. On the right is a rolled-up white linen with cutlery, in the middle is a round china plate with a seafood cocktail starter, on the left is a rectangular china plate with cheese slices and dried apricot and plum, on the top left is a china bowl with a green salad.

Off to a great start - got downgraded to Economy class. To whomever I hurt to deserve 13 hours wedged in a middle seat: I'm so sorry.
My point of view in seat 45J, a middle seat of a 3-row economy class seat in a SWISS Boeing 777-300ER. The middle part shows the beige-brown front seat in a warmly-lit cabin. The black 4 inch display in the back of the headrest displays the aircraft safety movie. The lower third shows my upper legs in khaki jeans, my left hand rests on the left knee.

Never thought I'd see Northern Lights out of my kitchen window one day. What a spectacle.

Back in Brazil for the first time as an adult. Will finally see my family after 18 years of absence.
Horizontal photo of a Swiss Intl Air Lines Boeing 777-300ER parked at a gate of Guarulhos airport in São Paulo, Brazil. It's 0545 in the morning and still dark outside. The plane is partially lit by the orange-yellowish flood light of the tarmac.

Now she's the most incredible date I've ever had the privilege to spend time with.

I've been playing the Duviri Paradox quest in Warframe and my drifter player character came out looking like a mix between MCU Killmonger and the Metal Gear Rising version of Raiden - I LOVE their looks

#XboxShare
Screenshot of the video game Warframe. The player character occupies the right half of the screen, from the chest up. They sport dark skin, bright green eyes and an undercut dreadlocks haircut. They are clad in a futuristic armor in white, red and black, adorned with green flowers on their left side. Their jaw is covered by a futuristic armor piece. The background is a brut cathedralistic hall adorned in gold and steeped in golden light.

It's transatlantic Thursday my dudes
View out of the window on door 2R of an Airbus A330-300 aircraft. The window rim is visible on the lower right corner. The engine and wing are visible in the right half of the picture, the Swiss cross is visible on the winglet. A deep-blue sky and deep-blue Atlantic ocean fill the rest of the frame. Scattered clouds are visible over the ocean, but they are way below the plane's cruising altitude.

Oh and: This was the best news all day. Salary increase, standby duty compensation, better standby times and part-time models, higher allowances for us cabin crews - all accepted as part of the new collective labour agreement.

Unions rock.
