new one of them!

leaving discord servers to get back under the limit before cancelling nitro feels like storing rations

I've been really enjoying this guy who live programs VSTs from scratch with a camera that's zoomed in a bit too much

i like his slogan "human-made bespoke digital audio" been using his stuff in a lot of my editing lately, i just download the airwindows consolidated plugin. it's ridiculous. super super fucking good work

he put a genuinely pathetic example in the replies. that's *fine*. i need you all to show him just how bad things can get

i shouldn't even WANT to know the most fucked up spreadsheet you've ever worked with. but i do.

feels like there's an idea that once any game can be trivially stripped to a bag of parts, what matters is legally owning the parts people care about most IP is the basic unit of the attention economy, etc. but that requires projects being worth spending time on and they don't want to fund that

they had me reviving a dead level design tool (by hand) to make this game

that's what i'm talking about

Organizing communities around creative maintenance, letting people use their facilities to contribute to human projects, is good and pro-social. Responses framed around "but now consumers are getting the products they want faster" misses a lot of what actually needs to be addressed.

These projects have so many roles beyond just getting from one place to another. Leverage is cool but interdependence is not a dirty word. It's good when *wanting things* can drive people together.

another thing that felt important as a kid was learning that you can just walk in a mid-sized research library, ask them to take you to "the archives", and 8 times out of 10 they will

this is still a blast to listen to (if you can stand the quality) years later! classical music is often treated as a snooty, inert decoration fixing these pieces back into their original context, hearing the call and response between different composers, breathes so much *life* into them.
