I’m so fucking tired of AI. I work in a big tech company and everyone is forced to use AI every day. We have to use it for everything: writing, coding, testing, resolving issues. A recent mandate was to make agents run overnight. They can’t have human slaves, so they’re making AI slaves.

Honshirabe is a foundational shakuhachi honkyoku piece. It's one of the first honkyoku you learn. I decided to record it every year to track my progress. This is the 3rd recording so far. www.youtube.com/watch?v=15ZX...

I was playing around in @megus.org 's ChipNomad tracker and thought it would be fun to make a house-style song with the large, seventh-chords used back in the 90's. #MARU #music
Bad Monday, my Bad Apple and Blue Monday mashup, reached 100K views on YouTube! I guess it will forever stay as my most viewed video. Was this my peak? www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0An...

I’m so much enjoying playing Pump It Up every Friday now. I wonder how every other player I see is so good? All of them play up to difficulty 15. Where are noobs like me (I can play 6-8)? And they all hold the bar. I wonder why?
Another old tracker module. I want to re-make it as an ambient spacesynth track. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW4R...

🥳 #design commissions are OPEN!!! 🥳 branding, iconography, minor illustration & overall graphic work for music / games / ttrpg / whatever you need - let's make something cool and weird together!!! DM or email for a quote (link in bio)!!! further examples of work in thread below, RTs appreciated!
Instead of using AI to help you make chiptune trackers, I recommend finding community in like-minded devs to help you do that. Seemed to work pretty well for the Furnace Tracker folks.
Official disclaimer: I used GenAI for some routine tasks in ChipNomad. I’m stopping it and openly admit my mistake. Using AI in a niche project was not right. If that turns you away from my project, I can only understand and apologize. There will be no more AI use in ChipNomad.

I'm trying to become more active on my shakuhachi YouTube channel. I know how to play over a hundred pieces but very rarely record them. youtu.be/2drxajayzNU

One of my personal favorites. I generally like all music I make but some tracks really stand out. This is one of them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMCQ...

I made a li’l looping chiptune bop - the first one I’ve been genuinely pleased with
Razing Core is out now for the SEGA Master System. • 7 stages across the solar system • Upgradable primary, secondary and melee weapons • Multiple huge bosses and mid bosses Free stage 1 demo available. Thanks for all the support so far! badcomputer0.itch.io/razing-core
Yesterday I noticed that my iMac CPU is very hot. It turned out I had an old broken MySQL which was stuck in crash-restart loop consuming a whole CPU core. I wonder if it was like that for whole 2 years since I got this machine and migrated from an old MBP?
