just want to put a feeler out there: who would actually care if i made vgm covers again

My band Prog XP's first album "Save Your Progress" is out NOW on BC and other platforms! 💿 ropanuganti.bandcamp.com/album/save-y... 🌐 progxp.band 7 of our road tested game arrangements in live-inspired prog metal stylings🤘 Art @pokerusproject.bsky.social Master @drewbertisms.bsky.social

i’ve felt really jaded towards making vgm covers. i allowed myself the time to make this one to try to reassess how i felt about it. i had fun, i think the arrangement is cool, but i think doing this has finally made me accept, with no doubt, that i’m just done with it. at least for a while

made a little vgm cover for old times sake

let’s do it up

one song down, three to go! (using some basic automatic pitch correction for now before i properly melodyne it later)

starting tracking vocals for my solo EP (again) today. this is my last try. if it continues to go well, it’s going to come out soon. if i fail, i will go back to relentless self-loathing and also probably just give up on making music forever

i just want to play donkey kong bananza................. but alas............. i must get my shit together......

in the process of copying our CD collection to CD-Rs so we can avoid keeping the originals in the car. i’m really just posting this to show off gabi’s pretty handwriting

got the sony WH1000XM4s for about $160 under the standard price. thanks for the recommendation @davidguthriemusic.bsky.social @billyqvarnstrom.bsky.social really liking them so far!

“i wish i was at home playing mario kart world” - me, every second that i’ve not been at home playing mario kart world this last week

most of these p-switch missions have been quite easy but i just randomly found this one and it took me like half an hour to complete

IT’S ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME

Thank you @vanretrogaming.bsky.social for having RP Prog Experience! We had a blast with our extended-edition band ft @allisonmartintrombone.com and @christianrmusic.bsky.social! See more lovely people at @magwestofficial.bsky.social Mini-Fest next!

the consequences of my (lack of) actions………… we meet again……..

so sleepy......... but so many responsibilities................ but........ so sleepy..................

tempted to pick up a switch 2 in store tomorrow and then just return the one i ordered when it comes in next week

new guitar and house who dis

i'll be away from home for the switch 2 release date but if anyone wants to play mario kart world the day after please hit me up

today’s little riff that came out of me before practicing

Super excited to have Christian aboard for another show, and our first international one! The set list is going to be super exciting, even playing a wickedly fast track off one of the biggest game franchises we didn't touch yet 👀

i love writing a bunch of songs and never doing anything with them. can't get enough of it frankly

stoked to announce that i’ll be playing guitar with Ro Panuganti Prog Experience at Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo in New Westminster BC on June 14th. we’ll be playing a set filled with metal arrangements of video game bangers. we’re on at 4:30 PM. come on by if you’re in the area! @ropanuganti.com

the writing bug is back :)

obsessed with these automatic transcriptions of chinese spam calls i keep getting

VIDEO GAME METAL IN MY CITY, LET’S GO!! so stoked for this!

more show yappage from me may 10 2025 - showbox sodo in seattle, WA - mayday parade / microwave / grayscale / like roses continued in thread!

i’m looking for some decent noise cancelling wireless headphones, i have many horrifically long and late commutes coming up and i want to be able enjoy listening to music as to suffer as little as possible. does anyone have any recommendations that they’ve tried? budget is maybe $500ish

www.twitch.tv/BonusStageVan We are LIVE @splitscreenseattle.bsky.social in just 30 minutes playing SPLIT SCREEN SEATTLE! I'll be joining @neoncowell.bsky.social Band of Goblins and then the Prog XP band takes stage at roughly 9PM PT!

decided i’m going to start posting my silly little videos of the silly little shows i attend here starting with one that was not so little may 6 2025 - pne forum in vancouver BC - spiritbox / loathe / dying wish / poor sport (continued in thread)

djent is alive and well in 2025 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1flt...

there isn't an amp sim plugin that exists today that has a better UI than podfarm did. not even joking Line 6 is one of the best to ever do it

i have this problem where i rarely ever remember what the last track on an album sounds like. it doesn’t matter how many songs an album has, it’s always one too many. i will be fully checked out right before going into the last song

love when i forget my lunch at home and then transit makes me fucking late for work so i can’t even grab food on the way so now i have to uber eats food to my fucking work FUCK MAN

I GOT MY PRE ORDER LET'S GOOOOOO a little bittersweet because only the MKW bundle was available and i wanted to buy that physically. but you take what you can get. let's fucking go

okay..... i guess i'll go make breakfast......

for canadian homies who don’t know, switch 2 preorders start at 12:01am EST tonight at walmart. i believe this is the retailer that’s doing the soonest preorders. best of luck. mostly to me. but to you too (as long as i get mine)

i can’t stop eating spam fried rice

started and finished super meat boy today. overall i had a blast! really loved how challenging some of the platforming was. really did not love dodging projectiles. the whole final chapter was very stressful but super rewarding and a big highlight. i will not be finishing the fucking bonus world

date night :3 (the occasion: we both have a day off on the same day for the first time in weeks)

in the mood for a ghibli movie and a big slice of pie

there is so much amazing music out there and i’ll never be able to listen to all of it and that is an awesome problem to have

my favourite band in the world right now. god i can't wait for this album to drop www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrhT...

we got metric modulation in mario kart music before gta6

nintendo is really confident enough in that microphone that they were like “you can sit 20 feet away from your console while someone is washing dishes right behind you and also there’s an entire house party happening and you’ll still have perfect audio and won’t prefer to use discord on your phone”

nintendo switch 2 direct in less than nine fucking hours i’m so exciteeedddddddddd

made it through the entire month of march without spending a single dollar on restaurants/fast food. groceries only. what's crazy is my grocery bill for the month didn't even go up, so i ended up saving a lot more money than i expected from doing this
