Madonna released her best record in twenty years. Evanescence is back in full force. RAYE gave us my album of the year. Muse with a fun & varied album. Lots of explorations with Michael and Janet too. Music has been such a wonderful thing in what’s otherwise a very deplorable and challenging year 💩

Unlike most Muse fans, I vibed with, loved, and enjoyed every album for the past fifteen years despite their wild swings and genre-bending. But it’s nice to see them find their footing and style back with this new album. »

I’ve been playing Destiny 2 with my expert friend, and he’s taking me everywhere from master dungeons to story missions and beyond. I wish I got into the game during its prime, but I’m having fun with him nonetheless. Also: 5080 runs it at 160 frames with maxed settings at 4K 😲 Super gorgeous game.

It’s been one week since I stowed away my Fellow grinder and the plethora of filter coffee equipment from our coffee table. Xbloom Studio is simply magical! 🤯 A consistent cup of V60 dialed to perfection with the press of a button.

I bought a Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD in November 2024 for $270. The same product is $889 on Amazon right now. The newer 9100 PRO model is $800. I mean, of course I kept reading about how bad things were for RAM and storage, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad. Yikes on bikes :|

1. War fucking sucks but I’m okay 2. Late to the party, but Silksong has been sadistically therapeutic as of late (boss spoilers; witness my anxiety locking in)

I’ve had the privilege of seeing Marco develop Uproot Galaxy up close — I got to play the various demos he made & be a cheerleader of sorts to my friend’s grand new project. Industry woes meant the project couldn’t continue but man, what we have here is just so good. Have a look!

This was Uproot Galaxy, a metroidvania with Mario Galaxy & Mario 2 influences. It was canceled 2 years ago after our publisher ran out of money. I'm making this previously internal pre-alpha trailer public because everyone involved has long since moved on... www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUpS...

Just attended this spectacular concert with Alex. A bit surreal tbh - I’ve always loved Matsuno’s Ogre games, but they’ve always felt unseen or unloved except to a minority of players around me. What a great thing to finally experience something like this to a series I’ve long admired 👌🏼

I'm at Parthenon Tama to see a performance of music from Tactics Ogre by The Knights Templar Orchestra @fft_orche. Been looking forward to this!! The program doubles as a poster which is pretty damn cool. #Tオケ

⛔️Metroid Prime 4 spoilers⛔️ We lost our minds when it was revealed that Samus would have a “sidekick” (he’s not that) in Prime 4. I’m at the end and Mackenzie is the least of the game’s myriad problems. It’s just not a metroidvania game—period. Just a boring linear shooter. What a colossal failure.

Love the fashion choices in this game. Pokémon Legends ZA is so great, man. Easily the best single-player experience of the series for me. I love the smaller and manageable scale of the city (versus Scarlet’s enormously empty open world), love the fast-paced battles, and vibing sm with the quests.

Shinies… shinies everywhere. Got a shiny Deoxys from my friend in exchange for shiny Koraidon/Miraidon code. I ended up collecting 27 shiny codes by running all over Shibuya and Shinjuku every day. Best use of my time in Japan. 👌🏼 (gave most to friends, used 7 myself lol)

I stopped being open or vulnerable on social media because I have come to slowly despise all of it. But today is one of the best days of my life and there are not enough characters to properly say why BUT i tried. Seriously these five hours today were THIRTEEN friggin years in the making. Fuck yesss

Text from the image: Keiji Yamagishi is the reason Brave Wave came to be, and sort of the reason I seeked Alex (@cvxfreak) to begin with. Ever since I met Yama-san in 2013, I have wished to be able to speak Japanese with him without interpreters. If you have been around Alex, you know how good his interpreting skills are. But there's something about walking around alone with a person and just... talking about music, making art, about childhood and sports and food and life that is just not possible to casually have when there's a cypher in between. I started my Japanese journey in 2020, but specifically I started my weekly conversation lessons in 2023. While I'm quite far from being good, I stuck with it to this day. It was 3 lessons a week, then I had to change to one lesson because of time constraints. Anyway: I kept doing it even when I was feeling stuck, when I was depressed, when I was not making progress, I kept doing it all the time. I met Yama-san last year but I couldn't speak much. Our meeting had a lot of pauses and silence, a lot of Google Translate communication, and just a lot of no-communicating. This time around, I feel like a completely different person. I still can't believe that I spent 5 hours with him where I couldn't stop talking. I talked SO MUCH about everything. This is the day I had dreamt about back in 2013. What a privilege it is to be overwhelmed by a life I once prayed for 😭😭😭
