Tightrope Theatre (Original Soundtrack), by Christoph Jakob 11 track album

It's bandcampfriday! While I haven't released an album in ~2 years, two new albums will be out in 2026! 👀

In the meantime, here's a cute little OST I made for @adventureislands.bsky.social a while back that I'm still proud of. Go grab it! :)

LLMs hallucinate, & they hallucinate WORSE on topics we don't already know/write a lot about. This creates a huge accuracy gap.

This week I tested ChatGPT on Beethoven & Smyth to show how big this gap is & why it matters. It made up a LOT.

a picture of a Konami Python 2, which is composed of a literal, entire, retail PlayStation 2 console, case and all - exactly the same unit as you'd buy at a store. the PS2 is surrounded by some custom boards, and framed inside a metal box (meant to go inside an arcade cabinet). it looks ridiculously funny.

the Konami Python 2 will always be the peak of mid-2000s arcadejank to me

imagine being an arcade tech back then, and you finally receive the kit to upgrade your cab from DDR SuperNOVA to SuperNOVA 2, so you open the case to get at the disc drive, and you're met face-to-face with this:

I miss Baka Mitai, I miss everyone was just like Dame da ne dame yo dame nanoyo. Who would imagine we'd miss that stupid meme like this. It was truly internet

Had that happen with my latest game build when I submitted it to Steam for review ;_; They said artwork and videos seemed to be AI generated. Pointing the Steam employee to the game's credits and attaching a BG before and after it was filtered solved it. But it was still a weird feeling

My "Make Visual Novel Assets" submission is now up on itch! One of the "selling points" is that some of the tracks consist of multiple layers or building blocks, allowing you to arrange them depending on the individual needs of your project or specific scenes.
