Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm a digital musician and artist releasing work as Trash Panda QC.

I freelance in audio mastering, cover artwork, and videos, and will soon be open for linear sound design work as well.

Pending website redesigns ✨, find my work/reach out here: trashpandaqc.xyz/hire.html

cover art for "Heart Stoppers" by David B. Applegate and Body Nostril: a digital collage of bodies, hands, and other objects swirling around a large heart made of rasperries, predominated by shades of red, green, and yellow

yeah it'd be interesting to see something on the slower puzzle/strategy/adventure side of things in that setting, but still with the scale and open world. like the beginning of Lorn's Lure before you get upgrades, with more puzzles and lore.

jpeg + world space 🔥

(but jpeg alone reminds me the most of 90s FMV games because they were always trying to fit more on the CD)

yeah, there are a bunch of different servers w/ different owners, they aren't all open. but you can just join a big public one and follow friends on others, it doesn't really matter.

it seems fiddly DIY stuff is the price we pay for non-corporate/non-fascist tech rn, hopefully it'll get smoother!

I think mastodon has the infrastructure to avoid the top-down problems here. It's small and needs better/more diverse culture, but that's more of an issue of getting people on there than dodging economicly necessitated enshittification.

yeah, for ages I just tried to address this stuff only by stretching and finally learned it has to be a full body fitness kind of thing, otherwise some muscles overcompensate and pressure nerves and you get the tingling...

The Matrix was right, we have to get ripped to work on computers all day 😎

I have the recent Logitech vertical mouse but what's helped me more with RSI is variety and exercise. I switch hands, switch standing/sitting, and I use a stand to make sure the monitor is at eye level. went to physiotherapy and still do some stretches they gave me, but I think the gym helps more.

yeah, I've had plenty of dealings/learnings with the gut-brain connection... we can push it around with dietary changes & meds and stuff, which is very useful, but basically it's an evolutionary-designed black box of random processes from eons of chemistry vibe coding. weird as hell!

I'm looking this up and I guess that makes sense, we had to evolve as tubes before we needed a second brain for limbs and stuff

if only *both* brains could get totally fucked over by randomly eating different stuff! 🔥

I'm seeing more about it on mastodon, go figure, but I think political censorship + CEO yelled at people for having opinions without being donors

idk why anyone expects this to turn out better than twitter tbh, they will either sell out or disappear. pls post more halloween jokes until it crashes
