Graphic of JER sitting on a staircase, they’re in color while the background is black and white. Their leg extends out to a solid black bar to the left of the image that says second pressing. Between them and that is the smoke red vinyl halfway out of the vinyl. Above them is the word mark for the record death of the heart. Below them is a wow bubble that says “out now via bad time records” in it and at the bottom is a link that says www.badtimerecords.com

Kira bad time oh no @dangerchunk.bsky.social · Jul 29

I’ve been anxious about making this post but was told I should so: Hi, I’m Kira, I’m currently in month 11 of unemployment and deeply struggling. To make ends meet, I set up an eBay store where I am listing games and consoles from my collection. Anything helps, thanks for looking: ebay.us/m/EKifyN

My most old man take is that I think using apps and qr codes as a concert ticket sucks. I miss physical tickets. I'd like a physical piece to remember the show that isn't crazy expensive merch

Hit my three year anniversary at Epic. Not bad for my first industry gig. Went from testing those reality saplings to being a big deal in season content for Festival. Here's to many more years!

A board with commemorative pins given to employees at Epic Games for each seasonal release. Includes each season from ch3s3 up to ch6s2, as well as the first 7 seasons of Festival.

Star Trek Minus Context @nocontexttrek1.bsky.social · Apr 1

Scene from Galaxy Quest, noted StarTrek film. Pic 1 is an autograph signing, POV is behind a table looking up at convention fans in line. We see a person wearing a light & dark blue sci-fi officer uniform. He's wearing a head piece costume to give an alien appearance that looks like a bald cap with some brain spikes and ridge loaf designed on it. The fellow in line behind him has the same costume. Main super-fan guy is holding his arm and fist up as if giving a pledge or oath, and he looks absolutely possessed with excitement. Like whatever the sci-fi convention version of an "O" face would look like. Closed caption reads, "By Grabthar's hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, I shall avenge you!"
Pic two is reverse angle at the inferred celebrity who is signing autographs. (It's Alan Rickman. RIP, king) He's in the same uniform and bald cap with brain spikes/ridge loaf, but his makeup is much better and more profesh. He is giving an absolute death stare back at nerdy fan guy, and looks like he wants to strangle him. No caption.

This man is a massive inspiration. He truly deserves this. Be weird and be real with your art.

MIDI is so good. i've plugged a drum machine from the 90s into a synthesizer from the 2020s and it just Works. imagine tech companies collaborating to make something better. lets destroy the tech industry and rebuild it full of people who really get why MIDI is good. thank you MIDI

The funny thing about Miku is that she's just, like, a vst. So, if we willed it, this guy can be a virtual idol with a multitude of games and media and a possible FN collab

That awkward moment at the con indie dev party where you met the person that made that game that's been on your backlog for months and now you gotta lie to their face about how much you've enjoyed (you must likely will enjoy it, but you've now dug yourself into this hole)
