Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

AI is a huge blanket term that covers so much more than most people think of when they hear AI. So often I see it used as a single definitive thing when they actually mean one specific type of AI. I can't take "let's use AI to do X" seriously, as there is no vision as to what you want to do.

AI is such a useless buzzword now. If you say you're using AI you just get more money. I know a ton of people who have to tell investors and the like that they're using AI to close deals, then just don't use it once they're actually working. It really is just suits that talk about it.

I'm not going to "let it pass" or tip toe around what I said. I still very much feel that shooting someone holding a microphone while taking public questions contributes to fascism regardless of whether the target was a fascist or not. That shot didn't suppress Kirk's rhetoric. It accelerated it.

There is SO MUCH going on in the cybersecurity space every single day 🫠

A “response” to their Supreme Court issuing a ruling after due process. It isn’t enough that have destroyed the integrity of our Supreme Court. Now they arrogate to themselves the power to demand that the high court in other nations subvert the rule of law as well. This is insane.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

That the museum was pushed into retracting the post because some people thought it meant that Gazans shouldn't be subject to horror is a horror. Never Again means Never Again for anyone. For the Jews. For the Palestinians. For the Sudanese. For anyone. Collective safety keeps us safe.

Haven't been streaming this week as I came down with a cold 😔 Hope to be able to do a little streaming this weekend and back in full next week.

But whether or not he was well-meaning, the fact is that P.H. Nargeolet’s presence lent legitimacy to OceanGate’s operation. His name drew people in, and kept them there. And some died with him. When people told me I was a reason they were staying on Xitter, I knew it was time to go. Don’t be P.H.

what the hell how am I supposed to finger the strings of the freaking guitar stop can we just connect a computer keyboard to it and just freaking set up a key bind that allows us to press one key to play idk like Ebm#13#173#b69 or something

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell. In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

This thread is incredible.

Pretty sure the idiot-in-chief recently signed a law saying AI can't be regulated, which would override any consumer protection laws in this case...

Another Week, Another Stream Schedule. This time I'm going to do the Fufu character story I've been putting off until now, and then trying to get my computer to talk to me in this week's one hour music challenge.

Late schedule is late, but I'll be playing some HSR tonight, and hopefully making a good dent on the new story, before playing around with the Phrygian Dominant scale tomorrow.

Getting back into the swing of things, but its also getting hot here, which has messed up my sleep schedule... This week I'll be heating up the dwarves with a magma forge, and then experimenting with scales again, this time on Wednesday due to potential conflicts on Thursday.

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

It's June!? Already!? Guess that means I should get around to building a perpetual motion machine in Dwarf Fortress, before exploring the v2.0 story in Zenless Zone Zero. Finally, I'll be trying to write something jubilant for this week's Music Thursday... What does jubilant sound like?

Last minute schedule for this week's streams. Going to be continuing the most recent Star Rail story quest tonight (in about an hour from now), and then continuing my Dwarf Fortress Relay game on Tuesday. Finally I'll be mixing tonal and atonal music together for this week's Music Thursday.

3 streams this week, with a dwarven library (as well as maybe a perpetual motion machine), and then we start the next arc of the Amphoreus storyline, before trying another new scale for this week's Music Thursday.

I should not be allowed near theoretical scales that are named according to an algorithm. But I was, and so I discovered the LIXian scale... soundcloud.com/draringi/the...

Me pretending to debug while contemplating switching careers to alpaca farming.

Going to be getting back to the regular stream schedule this week (The cold is gone), including getting further into the Honkai Impact 3rd story, and then practicing working with odd time signatures for this week's music challenge.

I realize I should probably announce this—YES I AM DOING PROFILE PIC COMMISSIONS!!! Prices range from $20-25 depending how complex it is. You may DM me if interested :> #art #commissions #artist

/2 I have never accidentally filed something secret but I have accidentally sent a Crusader Kings III save game file to, if memory serves, the client Fortunately (1) the client had no idea what it was and (2) I wasn’t scheme to kill the pope or anything

Easter has come and gone, and it's time to stream again. Going to be playing the new ZZZ story update on Wednesday (tomorrow) before trying to write some fast paced music on Thursday.

Stream done, and a piece of music produced, despite Reaper crashing once, and freezing another time. Enjoyed playing with the new instrument library, but there is still so much to explore there. Hopefully I can figure out the performance issues in the future. soundcloud.com/draringi/goo...

It's Thursday, which means it is time to write some music. Going live and trying our a lo-fi sample instrument I recently acquired. twitch.tv/draringi

Time to continue with the HSR story quest and get some more Castorice backstory, and even meet Cipher. Twitch.tv/draringi

What's this? A schedule!? I actually remembered to post it this week, and we're going to be finishing off the 3.2 HSR story update. Then, on Thursday, I'll be playing around with a new Lo-Fi sample instrument from EastWest Sounds, and possibly mix it with some similar instruments.

Forgot to announce my music stream XD. Either way, it is done now, and I had fun with the string quartet, even if it sounds a little menacing. Thanks everyone that dropped by and said hi. I hope you enjoyed the 'music'. Tonight's music: soundcloud.com/draringi/an-...

I've been dead tired, but I'm back just in time to stream the new Honkai Star Tail story quest (or at least the 1st 4 hours of it) Live now over on Twitch Twitch.tv/draringi

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

Stream done and my 1st proper time playing around with Serum 2 is over. All in all I'm enjoying it a lot, though it did struggle with multiple voices at times. Any way, the track is now up on Soundcloud, so feel free to listen to it if you're interested soundcloud.com/draringi/syn...

It's Thursday, which means it's time to write some music. Will be live for the next hour over on Twitch and playing around with the new version of Serum (a software synth) Twitch.tv/draringi

Finally going through Honkai Impact 3rd's infamous chapter 9... Bad things will happen this stream. Twitch.tv/draringi

Meant to have this out last night, but here we are. Going to be playing the infamous chapter 9 of Honkai Impact 3rd tonight, where I'm sure nothing bad will happen. Honkai is a story about hope, right? Then I'll be playing around with Serum 2 on Thursday, seeing what sounds we can make.

Changing things up a little and moving the HI3 stream to Saturday. Unfortunately wiped today

Going live with a rare Tuesday Music Stream. This week is backwards... twitch.tv/draringi

Time to wrap up the new ZZZ story quest and then do some events. Live over on twitch now: twitch.tv/draringi

Last minute schedule let's go. Will be continuing the ZZZ Story tonight, before doing music tomorrow (Yes, an inverted week). Finally I plan on continuing Honkai Impact 3rd into an infamous arc on Thursday.
