if you’re thinking about starting a gym routine in 2025, the first thing I want you to know is that you don’t need a two to three hour workout routine. that’s insane shit and don’t let the people bragging about three hour leg days intimidate you bc their knees will probably soon be dust

I want to live in a world where game music isn’t a niche but a valid and mindblowingly recognized part of the video game landscape. For starters: get its time on stage at the game awards. Not just a side thing.
