no fucking way oh my god

my new album “We shall never meet again—how wonderful! Goodbye.” comes out March 6th, under Aether Forge.

i feel like i shouldn't have to say this but if you're an "ai artist" and decide to follow me, i am not your friend and you stand for the exact opposite of what i do and want to achieve creatively and politically, you're actively funding extremely destructive technology, fuck you

me currently, send help (minus the nicotine part)

Really does feel like transphobia was always just a scapegoat by the worst people alive

emotional rollercoaster of a headline genuinely what the hell man lmao

not too get too sappy on here but Celeste means so much to me and i'm not sure i'd be standing here being the person i am now, doing the things i do now, both creatively and academically, if it weren't for it

Celeste is 8 years old wow

man what problem can't you solve by playing Alive 2007

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

fuck it posting a rare selfie from last week cause i look hot in this top please validate me

sorry art/music things haven't been happening at all lately i'm currently writing a big paper for uni that will still take me a while so i didn't have the time and energy to do much else

first live show is gonna happen one way or another

ending 2025 just the way i started it: crashing out

inspired by that thoughts on media overall in 2025: - incredible year for indie games even if you exclude obvious blockbusters, i'll probably do a seperate post/thread with recommendations - the Tron Ares OST being credited to NIN is a joke but if that's what got them to tour again it was worth it

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

The Game Awards is extremely consumer-facing and therefore doomed to be at odds with its stated purpose of recognizing and honoring the creators of games in an awards show for them. As such it is never not funny

mapped a midi controller to play unbeatable cause i can't do rhythm games without having extra controllers for it i guess lol apologies for the short clip and bad video quality (the game's great btw)

dying from a coolness overload this week (Skate Story, UNBEATABLE, new HEALTH album)

wrt the last retweet: while i'm obviously coming from a place of all my art being available for free because i believe myself to be too much of an amateur to charge money, i still wish i could try making a living from making said art because i love doing it and would like to do more of it

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Yes

reposting a favorite of mine just cause

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

hi i'm darcy! under the alias dgtl_nightmares i mostly make electronic industrial music, but also started getting into graphic design and glitch art, i also (very sporadically) write media reviews and blogs, all found on my personal website: digitalnightmares.de

thinking about how much first the nft grifters now the ai bros have poisoned the well for digital artists to talk about their work to the point where the grifts now are the first thing associated with the artform

it's 🏳️‍⚧️ transgender awareness week 🏳️‍⚧️, so : donate to trans support organizations if you can, hire trans people, defend them in public & private spaces when necessary, & just don't be an asshole in general

i removed my music from Spotify back at the end of 2023 because of this and i regret nothing

The most basic argument I can give you for ditching Spotify for *anything* is Spotify, uniquely, pays *nothing* for much of the music on the platform. Is there *any* improvement in paying for Spotify over pirating? You're a paper-thin moral slice away from buying music from a bootlegger. Why do it?

everyone do yourself a favor and watch The Wolf House, it's some of the most stunning animation i have ever seen

empty desires / eyes on me

just cause i know the history of the band i went and looked up NIN on there and - the article is *so bloated* - it doesn't mention Atticus Ross officially becoming a member in 2016 - the tour history table ends in 2008 - no discography section??? - it features alt text for images that aren't there

My opinion on video game pricing is that every video game that costs less than $30 should cost $10 more and every video game that costs more than $40 should cost $10 less.

the overwhelming anglocentrism of large parts of the internet and the media landscape in film/tv/popular music etc. is a detriment to people's education on the world and international worldviews/histories and should be viewed critically *especially* during the current rise of fascism in the US

if Ableton was running on linux i'd be so fucking ready to drop Windows for good, i'm still on Windows 10 cause my PC is a single cpu gen too old for 11 and 11 sucks extremely badly anyways but i need my DAW and my software synths cause that's my goddamn workhorse

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

the first time i was exposed to David Lynch was when i was channel surfing and happened to just tune into arte right when they started airing Mulholland Drive immediately followed by Lost Highway, it sure was one hell of a 4 hours to go in mostly unprepared

perfect timing for me to have started reading The Doctor Who Fooled the World huh (it's a very good read it's just disturbing and even more so now)

sorry releases/weeklies have dried up so much i've been extremely busy the past two months or so and silksong has stolen whatever was left of my free time to work on art/music, things are slowly happening behind the scenes though

2020s contemporary metacomedies from least to most bleak: Everything Everywhere All At Once Rotting in the Sun Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World

A friend of mine is trying to move out of the country to somewhere safer for her to live. It would mean the world if y'all could help her out. Share and donate if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

missed it by about a week now, but a little over 5 years ago my first ep "midnight sessions" released and going back is interesting. realizing i have been at it for this long certainly is a factor, another is that it sounds like i had an idea of what i wanted to do but didn't know how to get there.

Hey, if you're an author and have the chance to claim ... wanna do something really funny? *nudges article your direction*

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
