Vargskelethor is flying from Brazil to Sweden using only a hot air balloon in Microsoft Flight Simulator. During the trip we've seen many stupid videos and one of them was of Biddy Blas from the new Star Wars pod racing game. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. #DANKART #vargskelethor #MARU

I was at a furniture store and saw a chair that could fit two of me side by side. I showed it to @blemur.bsky.social and said only one of his fat, bro characters' asses would fit in it. We both agreed though that Jared, the shark, would probably just become stuck because he's very BIG. #MARU #Art

I still find it funny that this cheerful, Disney Tetris game made by Capcom has such a wild soundtrack, particularly the final boss theme. When you think of Disney and Tetris you'd definitely think of spooky, jungle music that sounds like it's from Third Strike, right?

I was working on a picture involving Ralf Wolf and while looking at references of him and Wily Coyote I realized it felt like I was drawing @scurrow.bsky.social So, of course, I felt the need to draw him too afterward. #MARU #art

When @pixelturkey.com was playing A Boy and His Blob for the NES I had the thought of what would happen if you had BeanBoozled jellybeans. In the Game Boy game, The Rescue of Princess Blobette, the blob can knock you off cliffs. Very rude. #MARU #DANKART

I've released my newest, Game Boy music concept album, Does Not Compute with songs I composed based on my perception of what personal computer components might sound like. You can also listen to and get it from my Subvert - www.subvert.fm/maru/ #MARU #chiptune #music #LSDJ #gameboy

Vargskelethor/Joel was playing through N64 games of questionable quality, and one of those games was Razor Freestyle Scooter. I thought, "This would be funnier with Fren riding the scooter." So, I painted it. #MARU #DANKART #Fren #vargskelethor #vinesauce

Here's that last song I posted but not being recorded through a bass amplifier being picked up by a phone. #MARU #chiptune #trackermusic #music #risatracker

This is fine. ☕ #MARU #chiptune #music

I've been playing around with ChipNomad from @megus.org lately. Do I know what I'm doing? Absolutely not. The gritty sounds I can make with the AY chip are fun though. #MARU #chiptune #chipnomad #music

While I was watching @cobracommanda.bsky.social a while back playing through Yoshi's Island I sketched up how imagined it must feel whenever Yoshi has to turn those fat shy guys into eggs. #MARU #DANKArt #art #comic #nintendo #yoshi

I made some Gunstar Heroes artwork that was featured in @agentannk.bsky.social 's last Dank Zine. If you enjoy retro games, obscure media, dank movies, and comic books, you should check out her stuff, too.

Kirby style rave party, anybody? #MARU #LSDJ #gameboy #chiptune #music

I drew this before they announced the Star Fox 64 remake, but I think this would have been funnier. #MARU #dankart #art #starfox

My @subvert.fm page is now live, meaning you can listen, download, and even purchase my music on this new, shiny platform that feels fresh and ambitious. You can check out my page here - www.subvert.fm/maru There's plenty of other artists on there too, so please check it out. #MARU #music #subvert

I participated for the first time in this year's TRACKERCORPS compilation where the theme was to use public domain film material for samples. It just released, so If you enjoy unhinged, moody, percussion heavy music, you'll enjoy this. #TRACKERCORPS #music

Windows had a lot of nostalgic sounds in it at one time. I took the start up jingle from Windows 2000 and used it to make a chord progression. Then, of course, I mixed in other stuff for fun. #MARU #LSDJ #chiptune #gameboy #music

Drums are one of my favorite instruments, yet I've never played a drum set and I can't really own one because it would drive my family crazy. Instead, I vicariously experience it through others playing covers to soundtracks I like - like this.

A while back @goatistream.bsky.social played through Where's Waldo for his Megamarathon and I got this funny idea while watching. 👽 #MARU #dankart

Nine games isn't enough to list my vast genre of favorite games, but these are definitely some of my top games that molded my interest in certain genres and storytelling styles. #My9Games

I used this loop for a joke-themed song but it's so good I'll probably include a goofy samples-free version on the album as an extra. #MARU #gameboy #lsdj #chiptune #music

About a week ago Indy (www.indyfullstop.com) was streaming a serenade and I commented during one of the songs that involved the word burning that if he started screaming in pain during those parts it would be funnier. He did it, so I sampled them for learning MilkyTracker. 🤪 #MARU #music

I'm working on an album that will include all the songs I've made using samples from commercials. I wanted an excuse to make siren noises in a song and this was perfect. 😎 #MARU #music #LSDJ #gameboy #chiptune

What is that Discord? You're rolling out requiring age verification with an ID or facial recognition next month? Do you think we don't remember the last data breach you had with that? Oh, you don't? I guess it's time for people who want to chat with me to use another app or give me their email.

I received an email about a class action suit against G. Skill for supposedly mislabeling their RAM, was looking at the ridiculous price of RAM now when looking at my previous orders, and all I can think of now is one of the first songs I made in LSDJ inspired by doing a memory test.

I started playing Trials of Mana since the last time I played this was in the early 2000's as the fan translation of Seiken Densetsu 3, which apparently was a ROM hacking marvel but Trials is much better. The graphics and music in this game are still absolutely amazing and gorgeous for a SNES game.

I feel like there's a dust machine somewhere in my house because a full layer of dust settles all over my stuff in a single day and I have an air filter running in my room plus a whole house air filter. Dust still forms on everything again in a few hours after dusting and cleaning everything.

I've been working on some very experimental music for an album and it makes me realize I might be better at sound design than conventional musical composition. I just enjoy mixing weird noises. 🙃 #MARU #LSDJ #gameboy #chiptune #music

I finally uploaded this crazy song to my YouTube. #MARU #chiptune #LSDJ #gameboy #music #meme #slapchop

It's been a week since I released my latest Game Boy music album, Hitchhiking The Milky Way. If you haven't listened to it yet here's the link to it. 🎶 #MAREU #chiptune #music #LSDJ #gameboy

My new year's resolution is 2560 x 1440 because I bought a QHD monitor.

My dudes, you should give this a listen. Some of these tracks are absolutely insane. 🔊💣🧨💥

I tried Render96ex for the first time on my Anbernic handheld and playing Super Mario 64 in 60FPS with a proper analogue stick feels simultaneously bizarre and amazing.

My Game Boy music album, Hitchhiking The Milky Way is out now! This collection of groovy music will keep you occupied while you wait for a ride in the vastness of space. marupanda.bandcamp.com/album/hitchh... #MARU #GameBoy #chiptune #music #LSDJ

A friend gifted me their extra copy of Streets of Rage 4 and after playing through it and beating it a few times I can easily say this game is very inferior compared to SoR2 and SoR3. Not using the vertical evasion and giving everyone dashing from SoR3 makes this game feel incredibly clunky.
