Indoor snapdragons? This seed sprouted back in March I think. Look at all those new buds.

User journey #62564992 : As a consumer of food, I want to be able to simply buy cheese without involving an account or an app and not have that transaction stored in a data center with my pii and used to deliver related ads to my push notifications.

I don't even do game audio anymore really. I've barely done audio at all this year. It's all Android development and infrastructure and UX and input telemetry all day. I'd consider pivoting back, but like, in this economy? 😬 Still, the soul is hungry.

Tariff inflation so bad 2lbs qualifies for free shipping now. It's ok tho, I do 12g/8oz cups now so it balances out.

Lead: "The task is to make this thing" Me: "Ok. Which of the 8 environments we work in should I make this? Certainly the one I've just spent two months struggling to learn?" Lead: "No. This other one you know nothing about, and the code has no comments" Me: 🫤😑😣😩😫🤮

Listening to a decades old hissy tape of daft punk homework copied who knows when or how on an 80s Magnavox just feels right for some reason. Even better that whoever did it bothered writing the track list.

Happy last day of Windows 10 for those who celebrate. May your accounts forever be local and offline.

Guide the user's attention.

And the very next day it no longer hits the entire clock.

The light through that little window only completely covers this clock for a few moments of a few days of the year.

Yes, good, let's lock up 0.99 hand soap.

Giant Peruvian blueberry. 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coin for scale. I'm 100% sure you all know how big that is.

Just put a comment in a setup script for a very specific kind of spatial audio source that says "I know this is counterintuitive, but trust me" And I feel the most engineer I have ever felt.

I don't care what anyone says, I will always think ASMR is creepy and cringe and it sounds like someone spitting in my ear and I hate it, eww.

Tired of colour cartels telling us how to feel? I just voted for my real Colour of the Year: DEFIANT RAGE. Find yours at colouroftheyear.com

Got things mostly synced up, still messing with some of the routing. Subharmonicon continues to be an enigma. The Korg Triton really adds that early 2000s "millennium" flavor to the mix. Wonderful sounds coming out of everything though.

This stage production is crazy.

Computers on your face. Computers on your wrist. Computers in your pocket. Computers in the sky, watching you. Computers with microphones, everywhere. Computers in your brain. Computers in your heart. Computers in your breakfast cereal. Computers in your computers, recursively controlling computers.

Brown. It's gonna be a long, hot, dry summer.

I love when "it just works". Ableton with CV Tools, an ES-9 interface, and a couple DFAMs. Monitoring with izotope Insight all on a shiny new MacBook.

That last track though... One article out there calls this sound "ethereal soundscapes of hopeful hopelessness". Bandcamp exclusive, this ain't on Spotify. katsypline.bandcamp.com/album/devotion

I am an adult. I work a job. That job pays me money so I can buy rare vinyl of the most obscure depressing music you've ever heard in your life included in a mystery bundle like a holographic Charizard.

No audios, only standing on mountain.

Yah whatever.

Orcas wearing dead salmon hats stunned to learn they didn't invent the trend, their gen x parent orcas did, and they probably still have one rotting in their closet.

Spotify wrapped like : "your number one artist is the playlist for your alarm clock every day and therefore the default when you get in your car and it starts playing before you realize it's still your alarm clock playlist but you're already driving so might as well keep it rolling for $18/mo"

There was one album I liked that was only available on streaming services and has now vanished from the Internet. This has thrown me into a fit of digital radicalization that I'm sure Lars from Metallica is picking up on subconsciously. Stay tuned for updates...

Orblivion, duh.

Ok hear me out, what if every month were 28 days and always started on a Sunday. We would have 13 months (Smarch, obviously) and literally one extra day tagged on the end we can just call "new year's day" that doesn't count. And on leap years, the extra day is "new year's eve".

Here, have a snurtle.

Here, just watch this. youtu.be/x-V2zLEzxKk?...

Sun still came up, cats are still hungry, and hummingbirds are still at the feeder. However, I feel like this Halloween pumpkin:

Babe, do we still have that box of old Count Von Count memes from 2020?

Ok but the DKC2 soundtrack on the Nintendo music app is giving me life today.

Caffeinated ice cream eating sound guys who fix their own computers for Harris.

Fall cats. Autumnal meow-meows.

The annual late-October changing of the holiday guards. An American tradition as old as mass manufactured home decor.

No.

Me seeing the game dev and game audio people creeping over here slowly:

I ordered this limited press in April 2022 and it finally arrived, signed and numbered and looking great.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #390,377!

I dislike the part of summer where the days are just as long but there's no holiday coming up and everyone is just tired and hot.

"are fishnets kink for a mermaid?" My boyfriend, asking the important questions.

Used to live in a neighborhood with a peacock that would stroll around in the middle of the street minding its peacock business. People would drive by and honk at him to move as if he knows that means. The person would keep honking at it and I would watch this scene from my window and sigh heavily.

Yarrrrrr

News in 6 months: "Shareholders not worried as self-driving tangla truck with driver wearing spatial goggles hits pedestrian wearing spatial goggles. Neither company at fault for wrongful death, both reporting record profits. CEO calls incident 'useful data we can learn from'."

I like the part of winter where it's still just as dark and gloomy but there's no holiday coming up and everyone is just tired and cold.

Inside of you is one Homer, what's your Homer

All of these have either damaged screens, janky power or volume or speakers, or extremely corroded battery bits. Each has its own unique problem and level of effort to fix up. Here's a couple of the shells/buttons I'll be using for the next batch.
