The companion video I mention in Nintendo's Museum Problem is NOW UP!

The lower level of the Nintendo Museum features games, both analog and video, that commemorate Nintendo’s past. But you won’t be able to play them all! So which ones are actually GOOD?

Probably not, since I can't move the file from Voice Memos to Files, and Voice Memos doesn't show up as a source to upload from because Apple hates me, personally,

I love that Apple has made it so that the only way for me to move a large Voice Memo file from my phone to my laptop is to use iCloud on my work machine, a thing I do not want to do

gio has a quality i think is kind of a superpower: the rare ability to just do the thing you feel like doing without tying yourself into knots over how it will look. even if it's imperfect, even if you're anxious, to put yourself out there anyway because you'll always be better for it

Hello friends. Today, I'm releasing my first Duckspeak album in 5 years. Bones & Skin: 2012 - 2022 is a double compilation pulling together a decade's worth of my rarities, unreleased demos, and covers. It's a vulnerable, messy project that means a lot to me.

An album cover for Duckspeak's Bones and Skin: 2012 - 2022. It shows an abstracted circular texture that looks like skin under a microscope on a faded purple background.

Cool thing about her is she trains *less* than most of her peers. I talked to a former NASA scientist about why it works:
