It's an Earth Crisis and Darkest Hour all day kind of day.
Yesterday's rehearsal went very well. Good vive, cool people, had fub, songs grooved. So, fuck it, I'll do it again lol
Reading "A Parade of Horribles" in my Dungeon Crawler Carl readthrough & the AI just quoted Logen Ninefingers from Joe Abercrombie's First Law series. Dinniman keeps nailing it for me. Very nice.
Today I have my first jam session with a band that was very persuasive in bringing me in. I've been a bit weary of joining a new band full time & have been busy working on my own album, session work & some stuff with close friends. They were willing to fit around my schedule & not rush things.
200,000+ households without power last night. I've been without power since 7:30am. No idea what the current number of powerless households is at the moment. Fuck Luma.
Finished Star Wars Zero Company. Best written Star Wars game I've played in years. Hell, better than most SW shows! I'm gonna miss that bunch of misfits. Grew fond of them. It's ripe for a dlc/expansion/sequel... if they pay Bit Reactor & the developers now that it sold more than a million copies.
Oh yes! Received my Federal Bureau of Control coffee mug and shirt in the mail today! I'm ready for Control: Resonant later this week!
I have some time off next week. I'll spend most of it with music. Have to learn some songs for a session, which rehearses in two weeks, and I'll also dedicate some time to continuing tracking a new song for my own album. I'll also dedicate some time to Control: Resonant on Thursday haha
@slightlyrecklessgames.com hello guys! Got the pdf drops for Densetsu and The Book of Yo and they look awesome! I have a question though: will the Shunkashuto starter set adventure be available later on to purchase in pdf for those of us who didn't get the starter set? I'd really love to get a copy!
Finally got my car from the shop after around 2 and some weeks in the shop. Repairs look good. Glad to finally have it back in good shape. That means I get to show up at the office today! Oh joy 🙄 Lol
My gaming group bonded a ton over Runequest 3e back in the day. That grew into BRP love & trying out all other Runequest editions over the years. So, one of the dudes brought his excitement over Broken Empires to the table yesterday. Been reading up on it & am enjoying it lots.
My mother is a very intelligent woman. She has a post doctorate in bioethics, doctorate in public health, has edited & published articles & books... yet I find it difficult for her to understand how AI companies lie to everyone daily & how toxic & dangerous they are. I sure am trying though.
After a week off, we go back to our Shadowrun 4e game for TTRPG night. Doing a night raid on a warehouse where the artifact we're after might be & apparently the gangers in there are bankrolled by Aztlan & it brings blood magic & a blood spirit into the fray. Not good! But we're going in!
Two mixdowns later & the new song I wrote & tracked with one of my oldest friends last weekend is sounding amazing. The song is titled "Compos Mentis", latin for "Of Sound Mind". We've been making music together for years but only get together once a year, so no band name yet. Maybe soon.
Studios & companies controlled by suits with zero inspiration or artistic leaning. The premise?? You have Muppets, you let them do Muppet things. What the fuck do you mean you can't agree on the "premise" of the Muppets? Add to the list of tax write-off idiocy like WB did with Coyote vs Acme.
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 3w agoThere are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)
Just got the first rough cut of the song me and my friend wrote and tracked over the long weekend, but with bass and guitar solos added. And I've had it on repeat for the last hour. Coming out amazing, can't wait to hear it mixed.
The snare drum we used for tracking this weekend was a Tama Terminator 50th Anniversary Mastercrafted Bell Brass Snare. It's been days since I got back home and I'm still in awe. Wish I had one. It costs an arm and a leg, so I guess I'll hold off lol
Drums are done! Guitar tracking underway. The song is coming out really cool. I'm excited.
Getting ready for drum tracking. With a Tama Terminator 50th Anniversary Mastercrafted Bell Brass Snare. Dear gods above and below, that snare sounds massive. Bucketlist snare drum.
Feels good to be back in this studio after a 3 year absence. Tracking a song that goes from 9/8 to 7/8 and back, and sneaking a 4/4 backbeat into some of those. Fun stuff.
Layover in Ft. Lauderdale reminds me why I'm not fond of this airport. "Not fond" would be putting it lightly, but at least it will only be for a few hours.
Happy Punk Rock Tuesday everyone!

Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Peter Cullins. A generation of greats left us. It is our job to honor them by aspiring to emulate what made them great.
