Today in "things i can just fix myself" the wood heater would make noise trying any fan speed besides low. Took it apart and cleaned and tested the switch (works) and then took apart the motor, cleaned off the fan itself, etc. Works great now and assumed the 15 years of dust and dirt didn't help
Fun night that was extremely clear so visibility was great
Dude what... Kavinsky died?? Drive was amazing partially because of the music and the impact on synthwave (a genre i love dearly), this sucks, and at only 50. (Sending thoughts to his family) Damn though, talk about surprising www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...
French music producer Kavinsky, known for Drive soundtrack hit Nightcall, dies aged 50
French authorities investigate death of musician who performed at Paris Olympics, but say ‘no suspicious elements’ at play

When I started working at Sony (contractor) forever ago they kept pushing back because I wanted changes to their contract to exclude all of the music I had done or would continue to do but they wouldn't do the same for my games, those were 'case by case' (None of my studios prevent it bc it's bs!)
Chris Kerr@kerrblimey.bsky.social · last wk.NEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?
*Looking at my task list* I'm supposed to do what now
Having to use GIMP to merge PDFs since I refuse to use Adobe (or some online tool or AI nonsense) is maybe the perfect encapsulation for the bs state that tech/software is in right now
Cold and windy on the walk this morning, definitely need a warm coffee

Look i was already excited at the Distance Worlds concert but also doing hymn of the fayth, including with an incredible soloist, as well as suteki da ne with the original singer (Rikki) basically broke me. INCREDIBLE
Incredible so far, great song choices and amazing musicians
Standing in a foyer looking at $55 cactuar merch, holding a beer, waiting to hear music performed by an orchestra from games I've played for 20+ years Am i cultured
I might have to try drawing Splatoon characters again. There's a lot of really cute art in the game (even small stuff) and their new looks for Frye/Shiver are great. The designs overall are neato
Gonna have a blast at the Final Fantasy orchestra tonight AND one of my fave games released a spin off today. Is it my birthday or something??
Excited to play Splatoon Raiders with the kids tomorrow!

Gonna try something real quick hold on everyone rm -rf .gameindustry gameindustry init gameindustry add . :^main/capitalism gameindustry commit -m "Let's try this again but better" gameindustry push -u origin main --force (lemme know if it worked)
It's been hard to explain to my partner, who is not in games or pays any attention to any of it, how difficult the industry is rn Also her industry is basically in a similar place (which I'm not in) so I'm sure the feeling is mutual where we both vaguely understand it sucks
Alright let's try this place i've never heard about in Australia
Finally something that might makes me want to install Marvel Rivals
Show me a cool physical game (Devotion, imported from Taiwan)
Danimal Cannon is recording a NEW ALBUM@danimalcannon.com · last mo.Show me a cool physical game
Physical games are also how my love for them grew while growing up with little money. Trading in things i played for other ones was how i could play so many, as well as renting, both basically non existent now
Maybe i should just build more pcs again before they become completely unaffordable. (My kids pcs were basically all my old machines i gutted and it worked perfectly, but they show their age if they play big new games)
