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!

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

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

shoutout to live music continuing to keep me alive

ice cap zone from sonic 3 but it’s emo
