Before COVID, there was this bar I'd play Crokinole at. I'd go there after work, a beer or two in I'd teach people to play. A whole scene formed. I feel like that's a constant that's really been missing. The place has turned into pick-up only since because of govt. regulations... Really miss it.

Today is a "Gotta listen to a ton of Ninja Tune Records" type of day.

found this ancient video in my phone's download folder

Update: I was able to get in contact with a coworker and mutual friend to confirm that she is okay! Thank you all so much for all the help.

Has anyone heard from cyntheszr since after Saturday morning??????

it's 2026, we have every tool at our disposal, more than we had a decade or even two ago and every website now looks like this

:)

Anyone got a retro game they're particularly fond of? Currently building a list of games I wanna play to build RetroAchievements progress, and I'm curious what people's picks are.

I think we picked the perfect corner to sit in

Ah shit, here we go again.

What the fuck youtu.be/I8y-tva_tSw?...

Relying on ancient Chinese secrets to help feeling less sick. These are actually pretty damn effective.

They're making me an offer that I can't refuse.

Feeling particularly lost today... Barely anything seems to work out as of late. But we shall push and fight on.

Good bye Berlin. It was an awesome time!

My SD card corrupted that was in the Polyend tracker and killed some of my projects, including the one I worked on during the train ride. Man.

Getting into the mood for Berlin and SUPERBOOTH. I'm mad inspired.

Youtube serving a low-profile banger. THIS has to be the FUNKIEST remix of Stickerbrush Symphony I have ever heard. IT'S. SO. GOOD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYXs...

Just like the last few years: If any of you are at SUPERBOOTH 2026, hit me up. I'll be around in Berlin from Thursday evening until Sunday night and will attend the event on Friday and Saturday! Maybe I'll bring my Polyend or M8 Tracker!!

The things you see on a bike tour...

finished this little animated doodle

The demoscene isn't just constrained to home computers. Saw this sub-pixel demo come up on my feed and it's absolutely mindblowing. Both in terms of audio and visually: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyxl...

お花見🌸

I've unearthed this from a box my grandpa prepped for us to keep. There's no expiration date I can find, just some printed on code. And I can't find this exact print of the cappuccino so it probably is VERY old. Time to try it. What's the worst that can happen?

Get yourself a friend that'll sing the depression away by singing classic rock anthems with you.

So exhausted without even really doing much physically. Been trying to stay uplifting but it really ain't easy right now.

After a few very long and confusing days my grandpa has passed away peacefully. If I've given the impression that I'm brief or dismissive during a conversation, please know that it wasn't any of you. That was purely me being stuck in my own head. I'm sorry for any worry or confusion I've caused.

Okay... I have to say. Project Hail Mary is a REALLY DAMN GOOD MOVIE. That was absolute cinema.

Can't believe the Spring Basho is already over. Always weird to not watch Sumo in the morning for a while. Kinda hoped Aonishiki would come up strong in this one, but he'll come back strong in two months, I'm sure!! Kirishima killed it though, he deserves being the champion 100%.

Actually doing it! The last time I went for 100 wins on Shenzhen, we were at it all day. Here's hoping we are a bit faster this time. I don't usually advertise my channel or anything, but if you wanna hang out for a bit, you can find me here: www.twitch.tv/puddy1

Thank you so much to the random person that paid for half the machines at the laundromat and never actually using them. Really helps a lot, stay forever blessed you magnificent being.

On a more lighthearted note... I think tomorrow I'll stream the tradition of going for 100 wins in Shenzhen and Sawayama Solitaire in one sitting. I'll be at it all day probably, but it's gonna be comfy fun.

Okay, hopefully the final follow-up about the crazy neighbor: Police called me through another neighbor's phone, then saying that I am to come out of the building immediately with my hands up. When I did I was sent a block down with about 20 people gearing up to storm the house. [1/4]

Today is a "listen to trance music until we take off at work" kind of day.

Today is a "listen to all the MIDIs/Chiptunes" type of day.

I think we're getting somewhere with the SoldSoft library... Pardon the legally distinct naming for now, though. We needed something to work with that tests boundaries.

Today is just a crying to the Chrono Trigger OST kind of day.

Agent/assassin OC comm~

Ive always listened to a lot of triphop. Bands like Massive Attack, Portishead, DJ Shadow and more, but ive barely heard any in VRChat. So i put together a triphop night with DJs from all over the world. Come join us for some Trip Hop. Come join us this Sunday, 22 february at 22:00 CET / 16:00 EST.

THE COMEBACK OF THE CENTURY. LET'S GOOOOOOOOO.

The police assumes that the dude upstairs is schizophrenic, got done testifying my perspective of what went down. Ever since shit escalated, the loud music stopped. He then called the cops yesterday, wanted to be taken with, claiming another neighbor is plotting a hit on him. What a boiling point.

Alright, we really are speedrunning chaos in the building. After the break-in of that apartment, people's shoes were cut open if they were left out. Laundry detergent in the basement was stolen and the cops showed up a second time. Also a smashed window, to add to everything? What is going on.

Life was so peaceful for the last few years ... 'till somebody broke into an apartment above mine. The neighbor who lives directly above blasts loud music all the time and people suspect is was him. Said suspect also then said "If one was to kill everyone in this house, they'd technically own it."
