That pun alone is a reason enough to pick worm as your Vtuber animal. 😂

I don't want to admit how long it took me to find the context...

Are they stupid? They're surrounded by snow. The one they should melt and drink is even colored yellow for them to find more easily.

Game of Thrones. But there IS secret real ending. We just hope Geroge R. R. Martin will finish and release it before his time comes. He's not the youngest, you know...

I hope yesterday's blizzard blew those geniuses back home - into the Siberian forests for bears to feast. 🌬️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🌲🐻🌲

A horrific moment of russian missiles slammed into a residential high‑rise in Kharkiv‼️

Is this how Russia wants Ukraine "to succeed"?

What happened to motorcyclists and fighting "like their grandfathers"? They're fighting like their great-grandfathers now? Where are the shashkas, though? What's next? Bows and arrows? Sticks and stones? "World's 2nd army" right here, by the way. 😂

Are we sure they're called "world's 2nd army" and not "3rd world's army"?

20 hours and 220 tracks later this playlist is now only 205 tracks long. Hah, yeah, "only 205". It's still the biggest one yet. Let's see what the passing year will bring. (Also, wow, I'm catching up again. Did it once already. I hope this time will be the last. I wanna be up2date.🙂)

Oh yeah, the main reason for this was that i lost my intro voicelines a couple Windows installations back. 🥲 I frankensteined it back, but now I can't change it's backing music. So, either use that frankenseined monster of an new intro, or make new voices with AI or smth. 🫤

Actually, those playlists give me an idea. 🤔
I might resurrect my WolfPack mixes I used to make. I might make a bunch of mixes out of each playlist. Might even separate them thematically. Wile still not music production, it's good mixing and mastering practice.

Another fun fact: When I was planning to write this post, I had only 2 ideas. Two more came from in the process. And yeah, I already mostly forgot those, too. Music is just like other art, is very dependent on inspiration. And unlike other art, I get easily inspired by other music.

You know what's the worst part of finally listening to your favorite thing again? I have 4 ideas, I could've made if I was more experienced in music production. But since I'm not, they're about to vanish from my memory in the next hour, like the first 2 already did.

HOTY 2024

The playlist I'm talking about, btw. It's public: open.spotify.com/playlist/4fJ...

Here I am, talking about music playlists... But, hey, those playlists are public. Mostly for me, so I can find it even outside of my account, but hey, I can share them with you, if you're interested in Trance and Progressive. I make those yearly and is kinda year late because reasons, but still.

So, I still have to listen to all that and filter some stuff out - some things sound better when you're not paying enough attention - but I'm still surprised how much music I gathered for myself this year. I guess my body was hinting at what it needed all along. 😅

Just finished my latest playlist and wow... it's a new all-time record. 220 tracks, 20 hours, and I could not find ~10 tracks on Spotify, they are free releases on Soundcloud, so in fact it's even more than that. 😧

Just listening to bits of tracks I was adding made me feel better than any latest movie or game (except Dispatch). I guess, I need to listen to music more. That used to be, and still is, my best drug against depression and I was avoiding it for so long for no reason...

Now I have 2 new playlists worth of music, and a "chore" to listen this playlist to. I only made 1 playlist so far, and I finished that playlist today. I still have a "chore", so I started making 2nd playlist.

And then... war. I stopped listening to music almost whatsoever. No new music, no daily music. At some point I just accepted it and moved on. But sometimes there chores I have to do... and when chores are long or boring, I play that show on the background.

I was listening to that playlist when playing online games alone on the weekends, or though in-game radios in singleplayer games when it was an option. That's why I loved playing ETS2 so much, and still have Sims 4 installed even if I don't really like playing that game.

You see, I used to listen to music. A lot. Back at uni I was listening to weekly 2-hour long music show. 1 hour of music going there, and 1 more going back home. 5 days a week. For 6 years. After graduation, I was still listening to that show and was constantly filling my playlists with new stuff.

Funny. Here I am, looking for ways to get dopamine again. Good movies are endangered species nowadays. Same goes for cartoons. Games feel like chores and sadden you even more with their tech state... And suddenly, today, I did something I used to do a lot before. And it helped.

Pff, workaholic. My last drawing was made 5 years ago. 🥲

Beautiful. As always, when you try to cheat sanctions, Ukraine sends its own sanctions, which are impossible to cheat.

Not very productive, but my mood is improving and that's all that matters. 😌

Just noticed I took my fight with doomscrolling a bit too far, but I'm fine with it.

I now spend way less time online in the evenening, playing games before bed instead. This leaves YT videos for the next day, when I have to watch something during breakfast anyway.

It's actually really neat!

If it's about YouTube new design, I don't hate it. But... today I barely found Watch Later and Subscriptions buttons. Why did they move them down???

It's winter time. Time when Ukrainian flamingos fly south. Maybe one of them should visit Iranian drone plants? 🤔 Right after it visits russian ones, of course.
