Kevin here. I’m a fan of music, video games, pixel art, comics, and writing.

A couple of days ago, rather than sweeping I vacuumed a pile of garlic powder we had spilled on the kitchen floor. Now every time we vacuum a little space in the house, the room smells faintly like garlic bread for a few minutes. Overall I think this is a win

I was curious about the market value of the Home Alone house in the 80s. According to public record the place sold for 875K in 1989, or ~2.2M in today’s dollars. Gotta keep on the grind, I guess

Indianapolis 500 but it’s just a bunch of driverless Waymos, winner takes home the coveted “Herbie” in honor of the first driverless car. Is this idea good or great

It’s a shame that modern developers of larger games seem to be obsessed with UIs that lambast the player with a million little notification things to click. Please, just keep clicking and never leave, we beg you to

I don’t want AI to make art so I can spend more time doing the dishes, I want AI to do the dishes and then tell me about the major plot holes in the Sister Act universe

I made a bunch of changes to vastly simplify and reclaim my main email inbox a couple of weeks ago. It’s surprising how big of a difference this makes. Why didn’t I do this years ago?

I think mandatory rarity levels for things in games can be funny. Nothing like that feeling of obtaining a “legendary palette” that is just orange and brown for a cosmetic item

I’m not sure why someone would want a record player that plays audio over Bluetooth only, this seems to defeat the purpose if the goal is to listen to analog audio. I guess if the goal is just the visual aesthetic, then it makes sense in that way?

thrilled to announce that my new album, ELEMENTAL FUSION, comes out on iiiypad records April 6th!!! ☄️⛈️🌊 Elemental Fusion is an album of collaborations with instrumentalists. it bridges acoustic warmth with digital processing & synthesizes my own flavors of chiptune and glitch music.

the album cover for Elemental Fusion, by Hunter Van Brocklin. features large blocky title text, many colorful rectangular frames with illustrations of natural scenery, and several black-and-white drawings of cute pokemon-like critters scattered busily around the image.

Mario Kart, Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift and the shopping carts at IKEA could all exist in the same universe where sliding around corners makes you feel like a million bucks
