Been helping out with a local musical production, one of the kids asked if I was single, and when I said no, they asked to see a picture of my "girlfriend" I'm not closeted whatsoever (most people know at a glance), but I'm still not gonna tell them, it's way too funny.

I love professor who are just condescending as shit when you make a small mistake. Mind you he was multiple days late on a deadline causing my revisions to happen during the weekend when I am busy.

I should add, he told me to be available all of Thursday and Friday for revisions. Didn't send his revisions till Saturday at 4pm.... There was no communication on his end about it being late till Friday morning when I saw him where he told me "he was just sooo swamped"

And, you know what? Me too, but for a man who complains that students are not responsible and all this and that, he sure is a hypocrite. He also refused to look for any other changes because I made two back to back mistakes told me, he didn't want this to be a whole back and forth.

I *think* this will be the last piece of music that I'll share from the upcoming build. The bari. sax will be replaced with non-sensible vocals (as long as the vocal VSTs stop giving up on me...) There will be a B section, but that is still in the works. [ #furrymusic #furryvn ]

I've painfully silent about my progress on Chapter Three of the VN, because for the last week or so, everytime I opened the file to actually code it, I'd get this horrible sense of dread. I think the scope of Chapter Three definitely outgrew what is feasible for me to do in a month-

Thankfully, I didn't. I think the release dates going forward are going to be more vague. Trying to force myself through burnout was awful for my psyche, and resulted in me working late into the night only to make no progress and feel awful the next day. Anyway, rant over.

Apparently, it is difficult to not only write and edit the roughly 14k word chapter, but also code it, produce new sprites, and make all of the music while doing college full-time, working 2 jobs, and volunteering. Genuinely considered giving up entirely multiple times these last two months.

The Flood from Halo, specifically Combat Evolved (2001). It took me 3 years, from 5 years old to 8, of playing to beat 343 Guilty Spark, so I never knew their name. So, I referred to them as "Jumpy Stuff". When the flood broke the first door, I would just exit or shut the whole computer off.

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

Turned this whole thread into a simple little piano comp! Some of these chords were really difficult to voice without losing the color of the extensions.

This post is unavailable.

Here is a small, untitled track that might appear in Chapter Three! It's still a bit of a work in progress. I haven't done much with mixing or dynamics, and the notation is... questionable, but still thought I'd share! [ #FurryVN #FurryMusic ]

It feels like it's a hot take to say "furry visual novels are cool and good". It's seemingly very trendy to hate on our medium nowadays and it's kinda disheartening, ngl. I know *most* of the hate comes from puritanical cry-bullies who let their brains rot on Twitter's algorithm... but still.

Okay, is it normal for college students to say they absolutely despise their school as well as say they can't wait to never talk or see any of their peers again? Or, did my college just create an absolutely awful experience that left a whole group of music majors completely jaded and angry???

Got paired up with a army vet in my chemistry lecture last week, and he came up to me unprompted in the dining hall to complain about his wife. Also mentioned that he doesn't believe in climate change, and thinks Covid proved it isn't real. Whatever the fuck that means??? Life is so cool.

Had to help my teenage co-worker sneak out of work because a regular was waiting outside of the shop so he could take her photo after we got done closing. Mind you, this regular is in his mid to late twenties... Planning to talk to the boss and see if we can get him trespassed from the property.

My body has been waking me up at 3 - 4 A.M for the last few days, which has been fine for the most part, but today I leave the house at 8:30 - 9:00 A.M and won't get back till at least 9 - 9:30 P.M. Wish me luck ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I want to get into project zomboid so bad, because it seems really cool, but the two times I've tried it before, I was sooooo bad. It seems like one of those games that I need a guide to really get started.

I can't tell if mine is accurate, but I like the variation of Justice's music so...... Also, I find it funny how I've seen a dozen of these, but everyone is scoring less than 30% on patience. Are there any patience souls out there???

My determination fills me with determination. I do find this accurate. I drive for things, hard. And then I can't give up, even when I know I should. I've been dealing with a lot of shit via work leadership. It's hard to do all this fucking work and be unappriciated, but at least some people care.
