Some VSTs I've never seen before. That SWAM one is interesting!

That horoscope says:
Born on the Scorpio/"red deck from 1997" cusp.

Mystic Quest! Great game, good music. Felt like SoM for GB. Underrated.

Maybe they tell the same story, "yah in 2009 the elevator opened and Tim Exile was like, right there". It depends on if you were sufficiently terrifying to make that sort of impression I guess.

It just occurred to me that might be sad for a mechanical keyboard builder to hear.

I still type for fun. I am typing now, even.

I also enjoy writing code. I admittedly cannot type as fast as an LLM, so at minimum I am typing less these days.

"All code written in a year, year an a half will be written by grinding machines overseen by engineers"

absolutely agree

"...who no longer look directly at the code"

Stupid take actually. Tells me he's not really using this stuff. Engineers will be reading more code. Writing less, reading more.

not just you, he's a legend; still in the zone after all these years too

My first instinct when hearing it would have been a pattern gate, but there's a brief clip of the carefully stacked midi and the tight patch; which honestly grants way more control. Its a slick accompaniment and is delightful and percussive

Sounds great, did you make that patch in Pigments?

Related but unrelated: I contributed to a compilation called "dorkqs" celebrating the 20 year anniversary of Drukqs, by Aphex Twin. Thanks for the reminder that in some circles it could actually be called "grunts".

a geometric configuration of pizza morsels, for focusing ones spiritual attention in a sacred space

Perhaps, but does it have a kollache stop?
