🍭Vivi!🎉

Noisy!!!

I joke and bitch but honestly there are also lots of really heartwarming moments during this season too. Parents who are genuinely trying to foster their kids' love of music, girls who are happy to have a colorful woman show them instruments, etc. It can be obnoxious but also very sweet

The "buying an instrument for your husband? nice! what kind? oh it's fine if you don't know, but do you at least know what kinds of music he listens to so I can make recommendations? you don't know what music he listens to? okay how about favorite colors? you don't know that either?" season

The "no, I apologize, but this $150 used keyboard does not come with a carrying case and a stand. no I am not going to throw in a $60 stand and a $90 case for free. yes I know it's a gift for your child, there are still limits to what I can give away for free" season

Ah, the holidays, also known in music sales as the "you're buying your kid an electric guitar? nice! you're also going to need an amplifier for that... no really, I mean it, the guitar will literally not make sound without an amplifier. Okay, I can't force you" season

I just realized that my 5 year HRT tranniversary was a few days ago......

but only barely. Unbeatable's trailer game is insane and I can't wait for it

the reason I'm thinking about this is because I just watched the final trailer for Unbeatable for maybe the 50th time and I think it's a contender for one of the best trailers I've ever seen for something.... but then I went back and watched Persona 5's PV #01 again and it still wins

thinking a lot about trailers and hype buildup rn and honestly I don't know if I'm ever going to be as excited for the release of something as I was for Persona 5. I was very excited for Elden Ring, Silksong was hype as hell, but Persona 5's trailers and drip marketing were just... perfect

Like, my three most played video games of all time are WoW, FFXIV, and Genshin Impact, and I admittedly still have a big soft spot for all three... but I spent literally hundreds of hours in them just repeating tasks to the point of muscle memory. How many full games could I have played instead?

This is also why I no longer play mmos. I deeply deeply miss both gacha games and mmos but I now do not let myself play anything that expects me to play it on a schedule.

"Gotta make sure I use up this resource every day for Maximum efficiency. The weekly challenges this week let me upgrade this character... It's thursday so I have to make sure I get this material because it won't be available again until sunday and-"

This shit burrows itself into me like cordyceps.

Whenever I've told people that I used to play gacha games heavily but quit because they're bad for my mental health, people usually assume I mean because of the gambling. Nope. I actually have a very chill time with that part (I hate gambling).

It's that Daily tasks are addictive poison to me.

some people dream of becoming filthy rich. some people dream of becoming famous.

me? I dream of being contacted by a mysterious, anonymous individual who wants me to make the soundtrack for their magnum opus: a surreal, eery yet sentimental, animated film about a circus of the dead

Pleasantly Dizzy 💫

Happy Birthday Signalis ✧

yeah definitely that but like. the post is a decade old, these people are doing tumblr ARCHAEOLOGY

"capitalism encourages innovation" lmao. lol. sure, if your idea of innovation is throwing two darts in a grocery store and then combining whatever they hit. Sure, sour patch kid oreos. Flamin hot mountain dew. Why the fuck not! Who cares if it's good? It's novel!

actually, honestly, none of these things are ever especially good? PB&J Reese's were a thing I had wanted to exist for many years and yet when they finally did it, they sucked and then disappeared right away

They always phone in the actual flavor because they know most people will only buy it once!

the worst part is that it works. I DO want to know how the stupid marshmallow butterfingers taste

(they're not very good)

so much of modern food marketing is just businesses taking any two things and putting them together and banking on consumers being like "okay, I'm curious, I'll try it" and they know that's the whole reason people are buying these things so every new product is only around for like 2 months

Wish I wasn't making that stupid face through this whole video but alas. this is the best sounding take I got so

Rainfall at night 🌙🌧

All my other tattoos are on my arms and god. the pain difference between the arms and the lower legs is insane.

Anyways I love my cringe furry miku tattoo 🩵

A tattoo of the vocaloid Hatsune Miku, but as a rabbit

it's technically not done yet because there's gonna be more color (I tapped out for now because this was the most painful tattoo I've ever gotten) but one of my besties @emilyerdosart.bsky.social gave me a tattooooooo!!!!

I'd be in!

I saw that too and I can't help but wonder why so many people would force themselves to play things they don't like? if I had that much willpower to endure things I don't enjoy doing I'd do something that at least has a benefit, like working out

A picture of a model kit of a Gundam with large angel wings.

MGSD Wing Zero is great, it has my favorite iteration of the angel wings for sure

I've built 3/4 of the MGSD kits (just haven't done Aerial yet) and it is legit my favorite individual gunpla line. Just pure quality design

is metal gear solid 3 the origin of this? or does it predate that?
