garden.rosemade.art (RSS supported) we don't have much there yet. we're still figuring out what kind of stuff we want to write about here as our interests span technology, music, art, games, and just our life and thoughts in general. we hope we can include all of that bc i'm pretty sure that—

it turns out, we can just talk about stuff we like on main.. like anything. and it's like, fine lol

I got the jackets in for the vinyl of Past Future Present Memory, my new album!!! they turned out so crisp and bright. (artwork + design by the inimitable @aurahack.ca !) I'm really excited for this to come together - the records themselves are still in production but the test press sounded great 🙌

wild that Trails through Daybreak is rated R18+ in Australia

huh, i just posted a thread about trails and it got deleted ? post not found errors

trails in the sky 1st remake is incredible (just finished ch2) it's also an incredible time sink especially if you are talking to every NPC when new dialogue is available and doing every side quest (absolute must dos for trails).

while on the topic of free NBN upgrades, mum's previously 100/10 internet got a nice boost to 500/50 which came in handy when we needed to upload lots of big files for a deliverable while we were visiting

decided to try streaming Switch 2 4k60, at 32mbit (i could not get CRF to work right no matter what i did, x264 software encoder or any of the Apple hardware encoders). got carried away with the game i was playing before i had realized i had been streaming for 8 hours lol. frame drop averaged 1%—

testing... files.maddie.rocks/fonsett/chai...

yeah we have a few of those in our system

i don't particularly look forward to returning home to a psychologically unsafe and unpleasant environment. i think we will likely be looking to split our time in both sides of the country

the "pronouns" line is real. i finally got to it

glim: "it's real uncharacteristic of you to post lukewarm about something you're rly excited about on main, and i'm sorry you feel the need to hold back" glim: "this is like xenoblade 2 all over again" we actually had friends, even if very few, who are into xb tho. in this case we have no one 😂

hoo boy, the series i happen to hyperfixate on next has thirteen 100+ hour games and has gained the interest of several headmates...

Visa and Mastercard reportedly coming for FAIRIES and CAT EARS Get on the phone and ask them wtf is up because this even made me double take bsky.app/profile/dark...

i haven't seen other systems really have headmates with surnames like we do. we all have middle names too. some use their middle name as their preferred name, or use a nickname. which is the typical western-centric name format

getting to do stuff for people and being asked if we'd like to be referred to / credited as individual headmates is not something i would have expected from this year, or like ever, since learning of my existence

whoops totally forgot to post about bandcamp friday lol

lol im posting thread in our typical start with one post about one topic, and end up somewhere completely different by the second or third post

ok it's wild i still haven't gotten a banh mi here. i will fix that today.

yrahh we kicked actual ass. i'm itching to finally work on (personal) music now.

man, had some of the best fish and chips today from some local tuck shop and i couldn't taste most of it bc of covid tastebuds :[

contreversial take i know, but i honestly prefer the lightning connector over usb-c. even though both are reversible, its just physically (emphasis on physical here), easier to plug in blind bc of those rounded corners. with usb-c i'm still poking around endlessly in hopes it will eventually slot in

finished the Trails in the Sky FC remake demo and enjoyed it. it went further than where we had gotten with the first game lol. i think we will end up picking up the full version next month. the combat reminds me of Eternal Sonata a bit (something i wanna return to someday too), and maybe Sophie?

wild to me that bsky still has no draft support. but maybe it is for the better. written up so many things that i decided wasn't worth posting, but was still good that i wrote out. screenshotted some of them with the knowledge that im probably never gonna look at them again anyway lol

normalise talking about sex toys, and programmable sex toys

oh. nice. that T line showed up IMMEDIATELY. first time for everything. i suppose. i'm also in a country that believes covid isn't around anymore. yay.

so much yelling in this house and it really doesn't sit well and makes it difficult to be productive. noise cancellation headphones only do so much bc we can still hear some of it bleed thru. plus its not just the noise that gets to me, but the fact that its caused by recursive misunderstandings

also something happened that made me really sad and it's gonna take a good long while for me to get over it

we're sick now. i fucking hate it

feeding off the power of friendship to write this very cohost-energy post garden.rosemade.art/posts/0005-t...

the ipsen castle theme is really cleverly composed, but i had a headache when we were there and it really hurt my head

Valeria: I put all the tickets into Linear for you there are 21 tickets ;; aah

sage is fun, can see why maddie mained it

Last weekend was Girly Gaming Weekend: Rhythm Game Edition with @sailorhg.com!!!! It was so much fun to introduce some cute and strange rhythm games to people. Thanks so much to you cuties who made it!

these are the canonical names right

not to mention that not everyone chooses to air their activism or general thought process in the open, and that choice can be very deliberate. idk, just consider where you're aiming that cannon

my headmate put this together for me with new PvP gear? (i don't actually play xiv)

To celebrate the re-release of Maddie Lim's single, 'Perseids 🌠' we're hosting Starlight Festival—a cozy, casual event spotlighting music from the Infloresce & Friends community. August 23rd, 4pm PT twitch.tv/infloresce [ more details coming soon ]

“Perseids 🌠” a single by Maddie Lim (@maddie.vision) feat. string performances by Michaela Nachtigall (@mklachu.bsky.social) re-released with new artwork by Amy Wibowo (@sailorhg.com) maddievision.bandcamp.com/album/perseids

coming soon my thread on lebanese food and the HSP. also we have like actual legit garlic sauce to go with our charcoal chicken

i would send you on an hour and a half train out to where we grew up in near rural western sydney to eat my still favourite burger place of all time, since high school. but there's otherwise not very much happening out there lmao

i want you to know that sydney has AMAZING banh mi, there are vietnamese bakeries spread throughout the suburbs, pub transport will get you anywhere easily. moving to the US felt like a downgrade in that regard.

every day I miss miitomo

played FFIX for 10 hours straight oops

the anti-msg propaganda here is disappointingly strong. lots of stuff i used to love just taste incredibly bland now. a lot of chip places use msg free chicken salt. people don't like nice things and spin it off as some health crap despite salt probably being more dangerous in excess

Yes, it's true. I wrote music for a GBA game for 2025 that runs on a physical GBA cart! It's also coming to PC and consoles very soon!!

i need glim and ruby to come back so bad

what if we get our ears cleaned (for the first time in like 10 years, our absolute pitch goes back to normal lol. that would be dope, and a wild retcon of the last 10 years of listening to music
