in the coming weeks/months I'm either going to be in quiet incognito mode or extremely loud annoying mode. I'll either let you know which one or not say anything further. hope this clears the air and/or muddies the waters.

images that spring to mind unbidden, part 809: "your search for Oil Rig Explosion"

no yeah I dabble in discourse and shared media experiences occasionally but really I'm more of a ruminate over internal conflicts kinda guy

since I missed the compo this week please enjoy some of the lo-fi garbage I've been cooking up in my free time this one's called "cheesed to meet you"

happy trans day of visibility btw. the world can be a scary place but having trans people visible in my life and in the greater world has done me a lot of good. please thrive.

anyways final thought: if we're mutuals (maybe even if we're not) and you make music send me your tracks, your wips, whatever. I've learned that it's a lot of fun to share things back and forth and I need more of that in my life.

I've been talking about music a lot... I have disorganized thoughts means the world to me to be able to make it, and it's been a lot of fun changing things up by sequencing/live playing hardware but it's also a struggle to get ppl to care and listen. it shouldn't matter but it kinda does

aidan update: - still recording a bunch of music - trying to get a 10 win Eden streak in the binding of isaac (idk how people get in the 1000s) - working ok that's it

someone should make a kind of [reaching my hands into Steam and pulling out tags] Cozy. Survival Horror. Extraction Shooter.

i’m so tired

been tired and not very posting brained sorry when I'm bored of making my dinky lil songs I'll release them and then I'll either start a small project I can finish in a week or the biggest project I've ever done thanks for thinking of me and/or not thinking of me I love you

I don't remember anything I said for this and I'm too embarrassed to watch it back so let me know if I said anything that warrants an apology google doc

hi sorry I've been busy being depressed but my games are on sale on steam if you want to buy my cool games store.steampowered.com/app/2918930/... store.steampowered.com/app/2546940/...

idk how many beautiful talented musicians follow me but I need equipment advice for when I have spending money again been doing some poor-man's overdubbing but I want something I can record to one track at a time with clock sync, but with multiple tracks so I can play back what I've recorded

working towards having a critical mass of rough-around-the-edges demos so I can just slap em all on an album

fuck I was leaning towards the third so we need a tiebreaker

what's the play if I wanna get back into doodling? buy a sketchbook? use my wacom pad from 2012? paint the walls with the blood of my enemies?

damn Toronto kinda scary and ominous actually I might just go home where there's sunshine and rainbows

happy mario day remember to play cool smw romhacks and super mario maker 2 troll levels

be sure to join their discord to ensure they ask me difficult questions about geopolitics!!

coming up THIS SUNDAy... we've got @girambquamb.com talking about MANY MINI TYPING GAMES, the game that has revolutionized the microgame sphere and more importantly, it's fun

a moment of silence, please. for the many lives lost in order to get stock photos for anti-tip furniture anchors.

stumbled across some old video files and it's kinda insane that mmtg ever looked like this lol proof that you've gotta start somewhere

I have to come clean... I bought a full price switch 2 game...... a pokemon game........... pokopia does kinda rule so far

a lot of hardcore boardgame fans don't like this one, but it's been a staple among my friend group for literal years. I like to describe it as magic the gathering mario party...

been getting too comfy, so reminder that I made a cool game and it's very cool and you should buy it :D and this next part is a long shot, but if you're up to it feel free to send me $1,000,000 dollars as well

the kind of evening where I'm gonna have to choose two (2) of: hardware jam, play video games, and eat dinner why is life so hard...........

it's Bandcamp Friday btw so feel free to buy my game's soundtrack or my funny "concept album" or the time in 2023 I wrote a song a day for an entire month girambquamb.bandcamp.com

canadian gacha season (tim hortons roll up the rim) used to be so much better. I swear most losses used to at least get you like a small coffee or a donut.

as long as everyone's doing this and giving me an excuse to make a chart of games.... lots I could've swapped for other games, but this feels the most "these games mean a lot to me"

thinking of becoming evil. disregarding my fellow man, being unpleasant to be around, muddying the waters with regards to my controversial actions. that sort of stuff. thoughts?

day two of my work week and I just wanna stay home and write shitty music

say what you will about the last two decades, but at least we live in a world where we can say "artificial intelligence isn't afforded copyright of its generated works due to a precedent set by a monkey named Naruto" and be correct!

haven't jammed in a while but it's the first 303 day since I got the behringer clone so I cleared out all the clutter blocking the synth closet and cranked this out td-3 (acid-y goodness) + po-32 (funny drums)

I'm honestly such a fake gamer... it's happened twice now that I've been looking forward to a game for give or take a decade, got my roommate interested a week before release, and had him put in more hours than me (ufo 50 and mewgenics)

anyways I'll try to keep the sardonicism at bay going forward because being upset on the internet is a bad look and if you ever confronted me in the real world I would curl up into the fetal position and cry

I'll take the flak and say "well if there isn't egg on my face" if there's proof that the hot new bad meme generator uses ai, but I think it's horribly irresponsible to put out to your large following that something is "supposedly" ai-based without any source on that statement

happy to report that I've finished off my weekend with the first Certified Aidan Gaming Session™ I've had in a while two game archipelago rando with pkmn firered and the binding of isaac there's a newer isaac implementation and it's soooooo much better than the old one

Magic Rat

blowing my mind that they even tested to be honest LMAO but on-screen keyboard jokes aside, if you've got the dock and a wireless keyboard it can make for a fun time with friends

If you buy it you also get the BOLF soundtrack btw ;)

Are you too fast of a typist? Never get to hear the songs for each minigame in full? You're in luck! The soundtrack to Many Mini Typing Games is now available on Bandcamp! 🎵🎶🎧 girambquamb.bandcamp.com/album/many-m...

all the best plugins, mods, add-ons, etc for games/software are called something like YATE: Yet Another Thing Enabler and in spite of the name are commonly agreed to be the only thing enabler worth using and likely the only one most people even know

the high is wearing off as life settles back into being life-y, but it really is crazy that I had a killer idea for a game and actually saw it through start to finish gimme another week or so to settle down and then it's time to think about new minigames.....

I can't wait until sonic.exe is public domain and people make sonic.exe games but less scary where he just runs fast and jump around

So true my friend! Please consult the following link for further information. Please and thank you

I don't want to be mean (we all slip up) but some of y'all are falling for the stupidest scams. your friend is not going to type unlike themselves and send you an exe for a game they're working on. no one is impersonating you on steam, they have that info because you linked it to your discord.
