Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape.
Designed for original hardware, it functions as a installation piece that can be quickly installed using a SNES and a CRT.

I get why it happens but goddamn do I wish anything could hit as hard on the timeline as something that sucks that everyone hates written by or about the worst person you know. I wish something good or interesting was able to get anywhere near the traction some shit that sucks does.

This is how I feel about “housing crisis” and “affordability crisis”. We use those terms so easily, but have never treated either issue with any urgency. We talk about them, but accuse each other of offered bad solutions, but that’s pretty much it.

I use this exact incantation when committing code to a repository; it helps if you speak to the code directly.
I won several little boxes of paper things at today’s North Star Auction, which was groovy, then went to Central Dakota Humane Society for a fresh batch of photos. Then the antique shop, and wrapped up the day by finding this gem at a thrift store before heading home. A good day.

A feature I think would actually be useful is “block for 7-10 days” because sometimes a person is annoying in the current discourse and blocking is useful but they don’t need to be permablocked, but also, am I ever going to go through and one by one re-evaluate who I blocked? No not really

Hello there! For my first post on this here social network, here's a new thing I've been working on, a live sampler where you scrub through the sound by pulling a string. It has a filter!

I’ve spent the last three days balancing and mixing what ultimately became a 9-hour mix of Halloween music and sounds which were, to the best of my ability, entirely sourced from 1976. This may be the greatest thing I’ve ever done. Enjoy, freaks!

I bought a box of trading cards in a move mostly to indulge my kid as well as myself-at-that-age. I ended up pulling a 1/1 @refaubrey.bsky.social which has thrust me into learning the complex induced-scarcity world of modern trading cards. How do you price a 1/1 card of a pro wrestling referee?
