Dragon Quest V

In a rental car at the moment, while my car is in the body shop getting some paint touch-ups. Having driven an electric car for the last 4 years, I had to call the rental place 3 times to ask if the rumbling and sputtering was normal. I was told, yes, this was normal for a new Chevrolet.

Against all odds, I'm somehow working on another EP after pulling ten-hour days at my day job

Human is great, but I always end up preferring Symbolic

All classics

Went outside at like 11 PM last night to let the dog back in, and it was like 92F/33C. But global warming ain't real is what I hear the morons around me locally saying.

Man, fuck this heatwave

Massive RIP to Ozzy, Black Sabbath's early run was crucial to my tastes as a teen. Glad he got to go out with one final tour under his belt.

My top songs on Spotify with HATE at 9,265 plays

Y'all know what's wild
HATE might reach 10k plays on Spotify soon
That'll be a huge achievement :3
I've never had anything happen to a project I've done before
Thank you all 💖

And especially thanks to @pankoniko.bsky.social for the art and @bytemapper.bsky.social for mastering

I was there for the NA release, remembering watching some of the worst fan subs you’ve seen back in 1998 for the 13 theatrical movies and Buu

Feeling particularly ancient after receiving some surprise headline that the Majin Vegeta and Goku fight from Dragon Ball Z turns 31 today.

Granblue Fantasy Relink is the most anime game I've played in ages, and it's simply a delight. Non-stop shonen level end of arc fights, a lovable old man that is actually younger than me, and the most vanilla protag in existence. 11/10 would recommend

Behold

Bro, my potatoes are almost ready this week from the garden. I've stalled on harvesting the new potatoes to get some proper roasting lads. Coupled with some garlic scapes and Jerusalem walking onions, and I'll be eating good.

Hell yeah

Ayyy, bless you. Time to see if this works in CrossOver.

All my preconceived notions about the JV-1080 were correct, and that's a wonderful thing, I won't lie. I love that certain pads just make you think you're about to play the dopest fight in Breath of Fire 3 or something.

No, sadly

Any Southern folks see the meteor in the sky? Scared the hell out of me getting the mail earlier

It's so gross to see after a wide acknowledgement of the mistakes and pitfalls of the Global War on Terror. You'd have thought right-wing jingoism wouldn't prevail in the wider context of younger age groups, but that's just wistful thinking at this point.

You’re a brave man

Why tho

Techbros are the wildest sort of autocrats. Most of my time in the tech industry was dealing with either ardent socialists or the sort of people that make Ayn Rand's novels look somewhat moderate by comparison, and there isn't much of an in-between.

Boy howdy, I disconnect from the news cycle and get in for a real shock every weekend, lemme tell ya.

The ground hum for some USB devices too, just not for me.

Real talk, 5-pin MIDI DIN is the shit. Just one single way to connect the thing, clearly labeled, easy as can be to just unplug and swap to a different device.

Beautiful hydrangea, we've got some violet colored ones growing in front and a bluish white in the back, guess it's something to do with the acidity of the soil. Bees love them tho

Thanks my dude, much appreciated

This is what people mean when they say deep cut I'm fairly sure

Anyone got any suggestions for a Mac-compatible editor for the JV-1080? My eyes are getting too old to look at a digital display from 1994 like this.
