Seems like the soundtrack would be coming out today too, pretty soon 👀

Utada Hikaru, Sheena Ringo, m-flo, Masayoshi Takanaka, Todd Edwards, Pat Metheny and Humming Urban Stereo have all been life-changing full discography dives in the past 5 years for me.

Genuinely take a chance on new music without any names you've heard of involved. Find the people you will be excited about in the next twenty years vs. waiting for your faves from the last twenty years. Or unearth an older discography to be obsessed with. Do full artist listens.

I haven't played a live show since before Memories Of Tokyo-To was released, if you can believe it. But I've heard from so many people over the years who would love to see me live. So I'm working on something for 2026 🙂

Social discord streams have been a consistent bright spot in my life from the start of the pandemic onward, and the idea of that going away with no good alternative soon is super upsetting. It's like a corporation being the one to kick you out of the friend group.

This is exactly what my songs Tag Walls, Punch Fascists and PULL UP are about. People think it's corny or performative in song form, but here's the irl sincerity and anger of a guy coming up and saying "I'm going to punch you in the face" when you're hateful "you're gonna get in trouble" "okay"

In my last few yearly visits to Virtuoso HQ, @saredd99.bsky.social and I became obsessed with competitive golf on the SNES, especially IREM Skins Game and the hilarity of being stressed out and down $80k on the golf course. We didn't understand why there wasn't a modern online version of this! Thus:

I watched Torque (2004) tonight, it looks like this and I think you should watch it

I have been trying to deny this for years, but I bought a Dell XPS 15 5910 laptop in 2021 for just over $2k and I think... it has always been a piece of shit since the very beginning. I was ok spending so much because it had amazing reviews, but it has ever only stressed me out

Between this and the Yakuza series trajectory, it's looking pretty rough for the last non-indie game studios that I cared about every year.

Days like this are supposed to be promo only, so I'll quote my song and new album, but what I really want to say is: I read the 'Hail of Corn' and 'Ashes' arcs of the manga 7SEEDS by Yumi Tamura over the past few days and they fucked my entire shit up. I can't stop thinking about and feeling it

There's not really a good feature for finding people on the site itself, but mutuals add me if you have a pagebound? mellomakes Goodreads is depressing and storygraph/fable use AI so this seems to be the one pagebound.co

Announcement soon.

Paranormasight actually getting a sequel is the news of the year for me and the five other people who played the first one and know how much it ruled.

I used to have a lot of questions like "what if my stuff flops" and "what if no one likes the way my art is changing", but that's mostly been replaced with "are my cats doing good" and "where are my cats, I want to see them"

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

I will not be doing any work or commerce today or on any day a national shutdown or strike is called for. Fuck ICE, they need to be removed from power and instantly put on trial for their crimes. There is no middle ground or smaller appeasement. nationalshutdown.org

Why You KEEP GETTING CAUGHT

This is not a drill, both SantaCorps games have hit Steam! If you're like me, the cold has been an exacerbating factor in a lot of struggle recently, but these games are so silly and hopeful in celebrating the season and I think they will help. I'll be posting some music from SCIV later too.

We will never get another AAA MINMO or GODLLA: Size Is Problem because this type of work is first on the chopping block in the genAI era. Was checking about RE9, and found an interview with Capcom about using it to concept background/environmental objects. This is my favorite shit so it's tragic
