i wasn’t a fan of logic X compared to 9, plus i was moving away from apple at the time so that sort of determined it

anyone know of cloud storage that is robust when there are 1mil+ files involved?

one issue of working with code and huge sample, music and game libraries!

Cover art for the game Dungeon Master, painted by David R. Darrow. In a skull-strewn dungeon hallway, a woman in a white dress holds a magic staff while a rogue in a white tunic and leather pants is grabbing a wall-mounted torch. Ahead of them, beyond a dangerous grate in the floor, a muscular man in a loincloth weilds a scimitar, wary of a doorway opening into a brightly lit area.

Cover art for the game SunDog: Frozen Legacy, painted by David R. Darrow. In this composite image, a rugged face appears in the top left corner. Spaceships battle over a planet in the top right. In the center, a nude man seems to be in a coffin-like stasis chamber constructed of green glass. Below, two people sit at a bar, one in a high-collared coat, the other in a slender metallic spacesuit. They each have drinks and appear to be negotiating the exchange of a box-shaped device.

I just learned illustrator David R. Darrow has passed away. He painted covers for FTL's Dungeon Master and SunDog. Unfortunately, his website has gone dark, but you can read a lovely interview with him and see some behind-the-scenes pictures at the link below.

funny the game never used that mechanic. the wall torches are always just wall torches...

somehow I always end up with destroyed cities

#metaxiagame #gamedev #gamemaker

you're absolutely a proper musician! it's one of the many things you're extremely skilled at <3

i do definitely rec ableton as an upgrade from reason, it's similarly 'fun / flow-focussed' which affects the end result possibly more than the better mixing and arrangement workflow in other daws

1991-1995 amiga octamed / quartet / music-x
1995-2001 cakewalk
2001-2020 logic (with occasional ableton)
2020-2025 studio one

i bought ableton. from now on, i ableton

portfolio catch-up post 04

100% worth it

rip Mani from the Stone Roses. he was a local legend and i was lucky enough to hang out with him many times in the mid 90's, including in the Hacienda itself

thought that was the case also but turns it it's only on the nhs for epilepsy etc, whereas it's legal privately for a wide range of conditions since 2018. reqs are quite simple: having tried two medications (inc therapy) for any ongoing condition within reason. they have oil, flower + vape carts

i found cbd didn't work for me but everyone is different of course! thc on the other hand works great ;) some clinics have access schemes that might make cbd cheaper for you if nothing else, might be worth perusing medbud.wiki

space recordings jasper byrne sonic birds ghost notes the drowning world PRDXCL

i've uploaded 'blurred windows' to beatport / apple / spotify / amazon etc and it should be out tomorrow

for now you can still be one of the first to cop it on spacerecordings.bandcamp.com

funny how my speccy games from 1983 survive where all my amiga floppies + hd somehow turned to rust. not bad for a £99 machine!

i might have the cassette knocking about. i digitised some of my other early ones a few years back. not sure i found that one but have recently repaired my deck so could be fun hunting again

have you tried medical cannabis? it can definitely help with anxiety / insomnia if you find the right strain

i only got as far as him moving and adding some fish and squid

totally agree with you. i was just thinking about the shark in wanted: monty mole the other day but these are better sharks! one of the first games i ever made aged about 9 was called 'hatty diver' and was inspired by this game, you were a diver with a wide brimmed hat...

blurred windows, by jasper byrne 4 track album

a very atmospheric game, it left a strong impression
