My "primitive prog" indie rock band Cave Paintings' debut LP Hoax is up for pre-order on bandcamp! It is releasing November 6, 2026, the upcoming Bandcamp Friday. cavepaintingsphl.bandcamp.com/album/hoax

they should rebrand antiseptic to PoopKilla for the new generation

obvious answer is having a nightmare from watching my older brother and dad play Doom (1993). but for whatever reason, amidst all the horrible ways to die or suffer in Oregon Trail II, this NPC's visage scared the hell out of me. apparently he was just a programming analyst at MECC in a costume, lol

Erica @ericabee.bsky.social is live. And I'm in the same room as her. See the sexy librarian at twitch.tv/enterim

Liminal pictures I took last night

it's #BandcampFriday once again, and i released a new album yesterday! Not Yet was composed entirely on an old Mac II from 1987 (pictured in attached video), and it's full of nostalgic tones and rich harmonies (also pictured here) check it out: esselfortium.bandcamp.com/album/not-yet

guess now's as good a time as any to tease Cave Paintings LP1 "Hoax," coming next bandcamp friday (november 6)

just saw a lesbian on the subway who looked exactly like Rick Moranis with a septum piercing

there are only so many names you can learn in your time on Earth. don't waste them on backup QBs. save them for important names, like those of 70s character actors or LA session musicians

great comment on the majuular Ultima Online video

like with my recent Metal Gear, SCUMM, and Metroid series playthroughs, I've been going through the Zelda games chronologically and writing up my thoughts on my backloggd. Here's some thoughts on Majora's Mask.

for a healthy example of this see "Bitchin' Camaro" by the Dead Milkmen

extraordinarily tedious experience online today

Per request, "Entering" by @esselfortium.bsky.social (MAP01 of BTSX E1) played back via UZDoom's MIDI output on a 1999 Suzuki Q-Chord and captured via mono PCM. bsky has a 3 minute limit for videos so I just put it on youtube. youtu.be/33U53J2hRio

i guess if you executed everyone with a lifted truck, it wouldnt solve the problem of, like, Windows resetting your audio settings after an update, or topsoil erosion. but a lot of times i find that if i tackle one easy thing, the solution for the harder problems becomes more clear. so lets just see

looking at estate sale listings. now what is going on with this

in the american release of Metal Gear Solid they should have changed Otacon's name to Penny Arcade Expo

I thought it would be fun and spontaneous to go grocery shopping without thinking about what I want ahead of time, but I was totally listless.

i'm thinking of acquiring some intrinsics in Q3 2026. maybe start with poison resistance and work my way up to see invisible

there is now Archipelago support for Lovense sex toys. so when you get a major item in e.g. Super Metroid you get your shit stimulated github.com/Samupo/Loven...

for a decade I've regarded this as probably the best non-"content" video on youtube. and today I found out it was funded and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK4o...

There should be a button next to the like button that just says "what?". I think this would be of use to both normal people seeing out-of-pocket posts and to perpetually confused What's Hot scrollers.

also speaking of Genesis music i will never get over finding what i can only describe as a trap beat in the Phantasy Star 2 OST www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikhh...

some of you gotta stop worrying about your Last FM and start worrying about not being the Last MF in your family line

I took an arrangement class in college and while turning in an assignment asked the prof if I had made it too dissonant. He replied "Daniel, the 20th century happened." I think that's pretty good advice to keep in mind if you're worried that you're making your art too weird.

I think a lot of manosphere guys are cynically telling insecure misogynists what they want to hear. But Andrew Tate really does seem to believe in and live those values; which is why he's a rapist and human trafficker.

the Philadelphia Century begins now

everyone who wants to drive a car should have to undergo a yearly mandatory psychiatric evaluation

All the white people on the bus in West Philly (myself included) got off at the same station and then walked in the same direction... to the Death Cab show. It must have looked like our microchips activated.
