Ah yes, I’m definitely supposed to believe that Fodera is selling basses on Temu these days

Nov 14. Barrels will be smashed.. bananas reclaimed.. and Kongs let loose. #donkeykong #metal

@ianmartyn.bsky.social hasn't only been crucial to the kong's activities because of his vast VGM knowledge, he is also a prolific arranger, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. An integral part of several other groups of fauna, such as the one colloquially known as the "GrooveTroop". buff.ly/qqz39mD

In just over an hour, I'm going to be talking with bassonist and composer Midori Samson about her work in music, memory, and the Nikkei experience. Come check it out!

Just beat the Ashes of Elrant DLC for Chained Echoes. Extremely impressed by everything about it. Also, incredible that indie game DLC lasts the 20-30 hours that some 90s RPGs used to take in their entirety. Looking forward to hopefully more Chained Echoes DLC!

"Follow Your Dreams" Releases today! Head over to ursastarsong.bandcamp.com/album/follow... to buy my new EP featuring 4 A Cappella covers of some great VGM tracks! #vgm #acappella #newrelease #cover

Just preordered like 5 games, thankfully not releasing at the same time. Excited for all of the RPG remasters/remakes/rereleases etc. coming for the Switch 2! And one new one, haha.

Favorite is definitely SNES. Had my favorite games on it, and I probably had more games for it than any other console. I don’t really have a least favorite console. Maybe PS3 because I got one and then never got any games for it? Or Xbox because my friend absolutely detested it when it came out?

#tfw you replace the last VST in a track with a friend’s stem, and the whole track just comes together
