a fun and eclectic genre pairing for you: 80s uk marxist dance punk. guess there were "down with fascism" skinheads out there at the same time as skinheads who were down with fascism www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLMk...

I had a really good time going to Against the Grain last night. Stacked lineup led by my favorite band, Stereolab, and heaps of AA indie I roll with: Gut Health, Cola, Rolling Blackouts CF, Pond, and more

finished a massive rewrite of barbie fashion designer, a game that has had an enormous impact nobody recognises except anyone who was a girl in 1996. with god as my witness i will get this to featured article status. people will learn about printable polymers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie_...

mike myers should be allowed to say "fuck me baby" instead of "shag". everyone is saying this. i will boycott this film if austin powers does not say "fuck me baby" in the first scene of the movie

i want to punch the duolingo owl. they make it so that it looks pissy if you don't practice french every 5 minutes. bouffe de la merde et crève you brat

really vibe with jammy mellow indie rock. chilout indie? always a pleasure to find random bands on streaming that click immediately like this one; these guys are a swedish band around since 2020 youtu.be/L_-chK4Et0w?...

thinking of getting into footy shorts even though i'm the least footy shorts looking person you've ever seen

i regret to announce i am back on my bullshit

thinking about Starcevo Serbian Neolithic Venus Figurine (6300 - 5000 BC)

good thing about being up here is that i can become a short shorts guy year round. thighs out indefinitely, forever

any person that was obsessed with dk books as a child probably turned out ok. those things were pure wisdom

I think the word gorgeous is underused. It's very flexible and innocent. You can call guys or ladies gorgeous and it feels polite. You can call a building or a night sky life gorgeous. You can say it in a funny or a sincere way. It's an absolutely gorgeous word

i am imminently coming to brisbane (threat)

I'm caffeine intolerant and swear that - to use a lame word - microdosing caffeine is doing wonders. Just a few mg so I'm somewhere between "noticeably buzzed" and "having a panic attack"

cate le bon was kind of incredible to see live. she's doing her own thing but trying to describe it to friends as a mix of kate bush, art pop, and dreamy 80s new wave

I would give them the 2012 book How Music Works by David Byrne

hobby: going through bookstores just to find modernist abstract covers

couldn't sleep was too busy thinking about the xbox booth at the 2001 tokyo game show

i know im not long for this world when the algorithm starts serving me targeted ads for fucking nurofen

think i've discovered the best indie rock album i've ever heard. early 00s album called 'know by heart' by the american analog set. minimal, breathy, restrained, moody. connected immediately. great music to wander the city to youtu.be/vPCGafOOHpU?...

queer targeted advertising is wild. excuse me what am i supposed to be eating at this dinner? cock???

Bris move finalised! Moving to Red Hill this time next week

oh there's only five senses?? well tell me how i can remember exactly what a dunkaroo tastes like despite having not eaten one in twenty years

me, about to start some shit:

goodbye weston creek kingsleys...you will never realise how much of an icon you were to me xx

social media used to be fun (bullying brands)

social media used to be fun (bullying brands)

which three The Sims interests are you: i am unashamedly Music, Technology and uh, Romance

playing the maxis game The Crystal Skull (1996). adventure game where you're a FMV aztec dude with your ass out in a skimpy loincloth going on Quests. single handedly sticking with this because it features edward james olmos and his cunty dad moustache

if you are into old games preservation i cannot recommend exo enough - massive curated collections of MS-DOS games packaged in launchbox ready to roll in an emulator. their 1994-96 collection is impeccable www.retro-exo.com/win9x.html

installing a cursed multishower setup like this in my home so i can be blasted from every direction (and i mean EVERY) by hot water

worked the life stuff out. moving to brisbane for a year and will be there in three weeks. i am ready for the sun to consume me

the shitty plastic camera marisa tomei has in my cousin vinny is everything. its aesthetic. its the vibe. it uses disc film and is completely impossible to use today

Updated my website to have an interactive 3D kind of design. Still trying to make it look cool and usable both on mobile and desktop. Lmk how it runs! cybreco.net

morning for a hike

asked today to move to qld in around four weeks. has anyone lived in the gold coast? what is that like?

family got a cavoodle LOOK AT HIM

90s software costs were high by today's standards this is a real screenshot from a shit game available in 1997: 'Monty Python's The Meaning of Life'. it sold well. people in 1997 paid $49.99 USD for this. inflation adjusted, you'd have paid $102.87 USD, far beyond a AAA game today, to play this

"Yes, the planet got destroyed. But, for a beautiful moment in time, we created incredible Stable Diffusion nude images of the green M&M stepping on my face and uncensored GPT5 chats of her telling me I've been a bad boy who needs punishment"

they should make beds shaped like cocoons. that looks far comfier. i refuse to go to sleep unless i am suffocated inside rolled sheets like i am ready to be devoured by shelob

gonna try and figure out how to recreate a digital version of these because they were so cool. please don't sue me m*ttel

listening to italian dream house (made up genre) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwfk...

i should probably post more (threat)

I made this website the other week when I was deliriously unwell. I think you can probably tell. Incredible news if you like .gifs of cats meewow.neocities.org

I created a website that displays tile backgrounds of web pages collected from Geocities like swatches that you can easily test out and download. Could be useful for web designers looking for retro site ideas: #webdev #development #webdesign #design internetpatternbook.neocities.org

from adolesence, all men must choose one method of transport and forever fixate upon it. it doesn't matter if you're a train guy or a plane guy, but it's mandatory

i forgot that character creation in battlespire is basically variations of "your dad"

this month i've focused on writing wiki articles for 19 pc games from 1997: anything from franchise duds, like the elder scrolls spinoff 'battlespire' or ill-fated maxis 'streets of simcity', to sublime art games like theresa duncan's 'zero zero' or chris marker's 'immemory'. i kinda love this era

just published 'SO WHAT ARE U INTO???' on itch.io. it's a little experimental sim where you build a town filled with little guys that make friends and start gangs. it's like having sea monkeys that fight over cool hats #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev hypertelex.itch.io/sowhatareuinto
