Since I'm 40 years old (and I hate and resent all music streamers), I still load music manually onto my phone like it's an iPod. And I tag all my video game music with "VG Music" as the artist to keep everything clean-- something I picked up from @illusorywall.bsky.social probably 20 years ago.

Street Fighter trailer reminded me that I have never seen the SF2 Animated movie but found a VHS copy at the thrift store years ago. when I went to watch it, shortly into the playtime it quickly cut over to Cinemax softcore porn that the previous owner had recorded over it. now my most prized VHS

when i was still collecting, this would have been a holy grail to me. i was/am a huge shooter fan. i'd hang on to it as well!

yeah, despite being mostly known for their synth work, all their guitar players are AWESOME. Lots of great thinking outside the box riffs throughout their whole catalog.

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

you may have heard the story of the foo fighters performing an aids denialist benefit concert decades ago. this is what that organization believed. the founder, christine maggiore, did not take medication while pregnant, insisting hiv does not cause aids. her daughter died before her fourth birthday

i had a $2000 emergency in 2018, so I liquidated my entire retro video game collection. everything i had from when i was a kid to my early 20s when i was hardcore collecting. i can't imagine how much all that would be worth now. the sentimental value was even higher

We are a lethal combo: I write insane ear worms, we got DFW's best drummer (IMO), and a very underrated and out of the box guitar player. Just listen to that opening track! Also, we're an awesome live band!! HIT. US. UP. Fuck this AI bullshit!!

I literally started a band that sounds like video game music, is named like an in-house band for a video game company, so that we could make video game (and movie) soundtracks. we are SO AVAILABLE for projects with reasonable terms. Also: WE FUCKING ROCK.
