If you happen across this, and have the right type of music exposure, I'm looking for suggestions:

I would like to find more "fantasy dwarf/dwarven themed" music.

Wind Rose is good, though a bit aggressive. I really enjoy Clamavi De Profundis, like a lot, and wish I could find more like them. :)

I always feel sad for my characters when I come back to a game after a long break, load up a save, and smack them in to a wall while hitting the “drop inventory” key because it is something else in another game. :)

Given the way they mask up, they already are embarrassed. That isn't enough to stop them.

Goodness gracious, #NYCC is just around the corner!!!

Looking for books? Writers Block is in Hall 1B, on Level 1, behind the enormous CGC booth.

Suuuure the big splashy publishers are on Level 3, but the cool kids are in the basement like always 😆😘

COME SAY HI!

Many, many years ago I did an application that autogenerated mazes. Fun times.

I haven't played this series (one of my favorite) in so long. Guess it is time to revisit!

I was down this past weekend for the Flu and Covid shots, keeps me going later. :)

Also, every exec that publicly says "this will not replace jobs" believes that only their job is safe from AI replacement.

(also, if they weren't monetizing what you did on their platform before, they are incentivized to do it now)

I'm starting to get sales pitches on LinkedIn via video, and there is no transcript/accessibility thing there, so that is super. (rolling eyes)

I always get so sad when i see 'youtube' in search results. "I don't want to watch you write code/do the thing/talk about your sponsors, i just want a list of bullet points to solve my question."

Many years ago I made a chart, two columns, first a tall column unnumbered “number of times end has been predicted “, second was a 0 height column “number of times happened “.

Still accurate!

Don’t use base10, that’s how they know it is fake… :)

Works on my iPhone with the official jellyfin ios app, plus i believe there are additional apps that are more music oriented. Still learning the ecosystem. Free apps on ios. The TVOS (appletv) is the one that requires a small subscription.
Works on other computers on the same network with free apps.

Open source, all features included for free, no paywall. If you set it up correctly, and feed the right info in to the system up front (proper file names), the platform is simply amazing. Feel free to DM me with questions. :)

Players for various platforms (mobile, apple tv (not free), etc.).

I've been digitizing my personal disc library, and had to buy a disc drive with pointless features. Second this sentiment!

(jellyfin for the win! I don't like streaming platforms just taking content away)

“Get a senior coder to check the AI work…” Where will the senior come from if you kill the experience pipeline?
