Day 5: game deserving a remake Been saying for years that I would love a Bushido Blade remake. Don't arcade-ify it or anything... keep the deep, contemplative vibe. No health bars or combo tickers flying around. Should be nothing but the two combatants and the lethal rock-paper-scissors gameplay

Well, as of just a little bit ago, I can proudly say that this is *not* Diablo 4 anymore. The series holds some sentimental value for me, but it's pretty bad, if I'm being honest. But! I just got the platinum, so I'm done with that. ACTUALLY currently playing Silksong. Stuck on a boss, of course.

Seems kind of silly doing "Hardest Boss Fight" while stuck on a boss in Silksong... ...but, The One That Got Away for me is Dracula from the original Castlevania. Sure, probably other bosses have been harder, but I have never beat that final boss and it haunts me to this day.

My brother and I, after completing the game many many many times, used to take days to make Duke Nukem maps for each other to play. Now, definitely by far, my most played game is Slay the Spire. I still play this game after platinum-ing it... and also play the board game a ton.

My first clear memories were my dad and his friends playing Adventure and Miner 2049er on their Texas Instruments console. For me, I remember playing Blasto on it.

Oh no! The columns strike back!

I love my bandmates. I love playing music for people. I love locking in with the rest of the band. I love executing something I've put the work in of rehearsing... ...but I do *not* love packing up and carrying around a bunch of drums to a show.

Happy Men's Day during Transgender Awareness Week, so a very special shout-out to all my trans brothers out there. You guys rock and I love each and every one of you! <3

It's much darker with my human-meat eyeballs, but the phone camera's techno-sorcery makes it really pop out

Any #synthsky folks out there ever jump on Reaper's Ninjam? You'll catch me from time to time in there and, if you do, say hi. Stick around and jam

Ohhhhhh... that post-election "victory for Democrats really actually defeat" ticker finally makes sense!

I feel bad for vaporwave artists... it must be really hard competing with all of this AI slop when you have to make your slop by hand.

At the noise show, noise-ing it up. #synthsky #noise #eurorack

I don't know why I like sitting directly on stage when playing my sets, but I do. I usually take my shoes off and have a cushion, but something about it connects me. #synthsky #euorack #music

@danhipp.bsky.social Came across the greatest SNAP opponent yet

Alright... ready for the noise jam tonight. I'm playing "Oops! All Square Waves" and, if you're wondering what that is, it sounds like some static and an old NES explosion sound had a tender loving threesome with a fax machine. #synthsky #eurorack #noise

Noise jam is back at Apohadion and ready to make your Wednesday weird! #synthsky #maine

Beautiful weekend for Sacred and Profane. We went a little early in the day, but still got to see the island.

I wanted someone cool to destroy it

Right on cue:

Followup question: What *would* be a line for you? What is something that federalized troops doing would be too far over the line for you? What's something that would cause you to use your (fairly substantial) authority as speaker to stop?

A buddy of mine lent me this manga and now I'm on a government watch list

Remember folks, if you aren't one of the people raptured tomorrow, it means you were just a fake Christian that used religion as justification to be shitty to people you didn't like.

Political violence is bad, yes, but the expectation that you debate every bad-faith, factually incorrect, and illogical piece of propaganda while it is *currently* being used as the basis for policy that causes real harm to real people is absurd. bsky.app/profile/mehd...

It is unacceptable that we live in a society that permits this. The people doing this need to be personally held responsible. Right now.

there are people who have never earned more than the base decency we are granted at birth; when they go, we mourn the fact that once, somewhere, there was a child that might've understood kindness, but no more.

Ohhhhh nooooOOOOOoooooo!!!! Lol

Trump: "You're gonna see a big change in Washington crime stats very soon. Not the stats that they gave bc they turned out to be a total fraud. The real stats. The stats went through the roof. They had a man forced to put out stats like they were doing better. Crime is the worst it's ever been"

I love playing this coffee shop in Lewiston. The folks there appreciate something outside the box and this lineup won't disappoint.

Wow... that shit will fuck you up

City of Six Moons, a game whose explicit intention is for you to play it wrong many times before (maybe) playing it correctly, was made with me as its target audience. Thank you @hollandspiele.bsky.social

It's been a while since I did a garage show... but this weekend was the time for it. A few individual sets and then open jam at the end. Super fun

I'm hosting a show at my place and we're taking time beforehand to do some field recording in the woods out back, so im scouting out a little before. It's nice to see it waking up after winter... <3

I'm throwing a military parade for myself for Father's Day. It's going to be the biggest and best that's ever been seen and our enemies will cower before me because the voters mandated that I do this.

All those years right-wingers have been talking about us getting Soros bucks... is it Walton bucks now?

This event seems like it will be wild... "Avant-improvising" I'll be there with a feedback setup nimble enough to respond to a partner and won't hog all the frequency space. Can't wait! #synthsky #theotherportland #Apohadion

I managed to ditch the matrix mixer in my no-input setup for the jam at Apohadion on Thursday. The Spectravox's normal output doesn't break when you take the VCA out of the patch bay! #synthsky #noinput #noise

WTF am I doing at work today?
