Three very well known bassists have come up in my ‘people you may know’ section on FB and clearly, FB thinks I’m way cooler than I am 😂

The only MTG I want in the White House is Magic: The Gathering. #NerdsForPresident2028

Thanks to @zorakc2c.bsky.social @musiconthedlo.bsky.social @rahulvanamali.com, I have finally achieved my dream of covering a Yakuza jazz bar theme: Silky Night (Yakuza 0-5), for when you're being educated on fine whiskey, or reflecting on that run-in with the Korean mafia (youtu.be/6wiBF0lf9Fs?...)

"really mean and weird" sums these people up just about perfectly

Okay, is anyone else having trouble with Bluesky’s video player? Like it’ll take up the whole screen and there’s seemingly no way to exit it, so I just have to force close the app and reopen. What gives, @bsky.app?

Things are so crazy in America, I think we need a REF! 🟨🙅‍♂️🟥 By which I mean, Release the Epstein Files

Have any of my friends here signed up for the Android closed beta test of the new FF Dissidia game? If so, could you do me a massive favor? I just need a screenshot of the back of one of the characters for a cosplay 😬

I submitted a music theory panel for MAGFest next year and I’m very pleased with the title: Mega Man II (V I): Composing for 200X 😂 I mean, c’mon, that’s pretty good, right?

This is the LATEST model. Unreal

Testing out a new filming setup in my office with a quick improvisation. #merrybassmas Moogle T-Shirt: CatbellDesigns on Etsy (my wife’s shop, kupo!) bit.ly/3IMYsZb Pickup: Fishman Full Circle (recorded DI) Plugins: Acoustify + German Bass IR (both 3 Sigma Audio) #bass #uprightbass #jazz #kupo

Why does my nephew’s toy play Super Mario Bros. 3?

Uh oh…

Okay, Frasier question for @joekeenan.bsky.social – what does this line reference? Does it have to do with the courtyards in France where all the neighbors keep their windows open and you can hear everyone’s music, conversation, etc.? Or just that Americans think French folk are rude? 😆

Fun Fact: The opera scene in FF6 was originally meant to be between Draco and Mario as a Nintendo crossover. However, developers scrapped the idea stating that Celes looked, “too stupid” in the plumber’s outfit.

Jab Jab ➡️ Short Fierce

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Fun fact: Nobuo Uematsu’s original lyrics for the FF7 main theme were deemed ‘too controversial’ by Square and scrapped before the initial release.

Hey! Are you a RogersBase fan? Of course you are! I know you love all his One Piece/Pokemon/Nintendo/anime-related content! Follow him so we can say a permanent ‘see ya in hell’ to that other place!

Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

A movie you’ve watched more than 6x

Another Gau throwback! As a "Have fun (& stay SAFE pls) at Katsucon" (this was at my 1st & only Katsu in 2017 w/@TotallyToastyAri as Terra) & a "check out our friends' #FF6 charity stream for TransLifeline this weekend" at twitch.tv/nt3rp ❤️ @nt3rp.io @victorylime.bsky.social #finalfantasyvi #cosplay

Loving @jamieloftus.bsky.social’s breakdown of the Hawk Tuah phenomenon on her podcast, Sixteenth Minute (of Fame). Though, I’m a little disappointed she didn’t introduce it as, “Hawk Tuah Girl. Hawk. Fucking. Tuah Girl,” in the quintessential Jamie Loftus way 😂

My wife (Rydia) and I are hanging at #MAGFest – say hey if you see us around!

Ari and I are at MAG! Well, we’re currently at our hotel, but will be there a little later. Hope to see some of my VGM homies!

Love this picture of my wife! …my actual wife, the cosplayer….I don’t think I’m married to Cindy….😶

I always get a kick out of the scene in White Christmas right before “Blessings” where Bing noodles on the piano and straight up plays the American Family Insurance jingle. White Christmas, 1954. American Family Insurance jingle, 1965. Thieves.

There are TV personalities who use the word ‘cosplay’ to refer to someone pretending to be something they aren’t, or doing a job they’re not qualified for. And what bugs me is my wife and friends are cosplayers – none of them are LARPing, they’re not pretending to be the character.

I have to keep reminding myself that “Into the Unknown” is from Frozen and not Wicked
