When the video game has the audacity to offer me the option to lower the difficulty the first time I die ... Do you really believe in me so little????

honestly I am thinking I might just delete my bsky account. taking a hard look at it, it's not like this site has gained me all that much, and now it's starting to become unusable by the day. just a useless distraction that doesn't even work half the time anymore.

what was the point of even signing up on this shitty website anyway? won't even let me make my shittty posts

To whomever was the person who gave me *two* complete plays today (not just one), you are easily the hottest person alive in this moment

once againnnn

when I post my albums online, get complete plays, but get no comments, posts, shares, likes, etc, the only conclusion I can draw from this data is that I have stunned my audience into awed silence. the people have not spoken. this is good.

Phantasmagoria 3

the #1 reason i continue to make music even though i have zero audience and nobody gives a fuck about it, is that, i love every song i've ever written and i want to live in a world where i have made as much music as i possibly could have. i will stop when i am IN THE GROUND

When hunting elk and other large game in cold northern climates, hunters sometimes find it effective to unwrap and place a bar of chocolate, as the game is attracted to the smell. This technique is known as opening the stray Dove for moose.

I made burgers on the grill and they blastin'

it is my birthday ...

🔥 "RESYNCED" 🔥 The HEAVY re-issue of my debut album Guitars, mixing, mastering by @velvetic.bsky.social Guest stars @nashmuhandes.bsky.social, @mikelldover.bsky.social and Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater). OUT NOW.

Conceptual Birdbath is out! It's a virtual boxset of 100 "new old" tracks spanning essentially my entire music career, all polished up specifically for this release, and it's full of bangers, IMO. 🎶 Bandcamp: esselfortium.bandcamp.com 📼 Listening party stream at 4PM EDT: twitch.tv/LilithNexus

Today is my birthday! I humbly request that you support a 🏳️‍⚧️ transgender 🎸 artist today. In the thread below there are 🤘 metal artists you should definitely check out & support. Even a buck or 2 on Bandcamp or @ampwall.com is meaningful. Support trans artists (especially the metal ones). #metalsky

I've completed (in a wip sorta way) the first composition of an upcoming compilation of "evening session" ambient/synth tracks. each track will be 1 to 2 evenings max effort, just a way to dust out some cobwebs from my piano roll. enjoying the exercise and hope the results are cool!!

New Warning, not a drill, etc.

dark, dark fucking times ahead. dark times now too, but also ahead.

I take deep umbrage with the term "slop" used here in general, as it is a term meant to describe zero effort content generated by an algorithm or llm. To deride a game clearly made by a hardworking team of devs as "slop" is indeed the lowest form of gamer entitlement nonsense.

oh yea lol also machaloth.bandcamp.com/album/transs...

2 years since the release of Mirror World, my compilation of "dream metal" instrumentals, written from a place of intense self-reflection and future uncertainty. One of my proudest works, and I hold it in high esteem as a key milestone in my growth as a musician these past years. Give it a listen!

hating on ethel cain for posting nudes is 100% cop behavior, absolute poser shit, you don't deserve to follow her

It's trans day of visibility. Buy my music please.

Makes me feel very visible. Thank you! SUPPORT TRANS ARTISTS TODAY!!!

I won't ask for money for trans visibility day, I will instead ask that you share this post around about me and my wife's game :3

I listen to all my own songs regularly because they are deep and cool and filled with great riffs to my ears. I am always wishing there were more of them, every time I complete a project. That is the reason I keep making more. I'll always invite others to join my little world, but I make it for me.

the Soul Keeper's final trip to the Mossuary, to deposit the remains of his final harvest, goes awry when he accidentally locks himself in. now he must spend several consecutive lifetimes searching the darkness for three carefully hidden keys. it is deeply unpleasant for him.

song from my SKEL demo, in which the subject has escaped the consequences of his evils by encasing himself in the core of the earth, in perfect safety, for eternity. was inspired somewhat by the Absolutely Safe Capsule from Mother 3

computer games never needed to look better than this tbh

Conceptual Birdbath, my massive collection of 100 unreleased and rare tracks, is now up for preorder on Bandcamp! The full thing releases on April 11th, but four tracks are available right now! Preorder link: esselfortium.bandcamp.com/album/concep... Cover art by @neo.yokohama

started the day with a good energy, but the feeling of low has returned

what actually is the point of having unearthly amounts of money? like I get rich people use that money to buy investments and become richer, but then what? use riches to get more, and do what with it? die rich? buy a giant tombstone? buy 1000000 copies of resident evil 3 nemesis on playstation 1??

been finally getting around to playing RE4 remake, after having completed RE9, which I loved overall. RE4 being one of my all time favorites, I went into remake with my guard up. but I can safely say that it's absolutely lived up to it thus far, and has surprised me and made me grin more than once.

already pining to start working on some new music project. I got a new PC recently but I still need to setup all my ableton stuff on there ... thinkin I will use it as an opportunity to setup my DAW from a clean slate and re-evaluate the way I was doin stuff before. try to make it better.

Went ahead and moved the release date up to friday because theres no reason to wait and it doesnt matter aliciacordisco.bandcamp.com/album/my-res...

one of the worst parts of having conservative parents is just watching them constantly choose their right wing misery over any other small pleasures in life. my mom used to watch her little sitcoms and pay words with friends. now she's just hooked up to the angry newsmax guy all day.

fuck harry potter, we hate harry potter here. all my friends think harry potter sucks

whoever listened to two full albums of mine today ... I love you!!! I love all my listeners!!! And i wish them all well!!! and if you comment or DM or whatevs, it means more than the eternity of universe to me!!! i also have a lil discord server you can join us on. small but active. link on bc.

Thread w/ 5 posts -- links and genre labels to 20 bands w/ trans and non-binary members - Could post way more and definitely many I didn't get to but I need to go on a walk now - 20 bands is plenty for you to peruse.

this is kickin' my dick

goinna be a gamer when i grow up

i love video game

repostin' one last time before i shut up about it forever and start workin on a new one ;>

how is this a real thumbnail

Now playing: D Just had a taste of this game last night, and it might be the closest game in my entire excursion thus far to be a 5/5. the FMVs on PS1 are a bit unfortunately compressed, but I can get past it. The atmosphere and pure, unfettered MULTIMEDIA experience are unparalleled.

it's really fun doing a PS1 catalog deep dive using a game wheel. it's forced me to play through games that I'd never consider before and actually commit to rolling credits, even on the stinkers. also really helps me in prioritizing. my next game wheel game is D. excited to check it out

Just Completed: Vampire Hunter D A movie tie-in action/horror/fixed-camera game (not survival), with so, so much potential to be cool. Almost plays like a proto-DMC. Utterly infuriating to play, with awful camera angles and some of the worst tank controls of the genre. Wanted to love it.

Here's an *extremely* condensed preview of my next release, Conceptual Birdbath: 100 unreleased and rare Esselfortium/Sarah Mancuso tracks, comprised of outtakes, sketches, tunes from scrapped projects, one-off commissions, and more, totaling three and a half hours of music!
