Reinstalled STALKER 2 for the first time since upgrading my GPU and wow this game looks great when it isn't a blurry mess running at a bad framerate

More work from my backlog, and a personal favorite bc this was my first ever attempt at any sort of character design. The intended platform for this render was IG, which lets you pair stuff with music, so since cant do that here imagine Health is playing lol

What is even happening anymore
Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist?

Mamdani: I've spoken about --

Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.

It's always interesting looking at Bandcamp stats and seeing just how few people complete albums. I far too often have my best songs last or near last and to see them get skipped... doesn't matter much to me, just sad to see people missing out.

I completely missed the fact that it was trans awareness week, probably because I was barely online and also working most days. Missed the opportunity to ask for support, but oh well, I will persist regardless. Hope everyone had a good week.

In case you missed it, mole music for the soul:
I recently had an idea while in a delirious state of making an album about moles soooo yeah, I did it. And I think it turned out really nicely so that's good!

Anyway now that I've made music about both deer and moles, I'm gonna do something crazy and make music about birds 👍

So cool that my mom's cancer came back and I can't visit her because I'm too afraid of entering the US. I'm worried I won't get to see her at all before she goes, which could be a number of years from now but who knows what the fuck the country will be like then

I have to stop myself from saying "<insert band here> please come to NZ!!!" because every time they do come here I can't afford it 😭

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.

Fuck cancer.

Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Had a hangover for the entire day which is an uncommon experience for me, hoping it is gone in the morning

I love saying shit like "that's impossible" after something deeply within the realm of possibility happens to me
