Does anyone know if macarons are actually hard to make or if this is a psyop from Big Pastry to entice me into buying a little treat (when I could make several little treats at home instead).

kia ora! my handle was public universal F (to pay respects) 26 | 🇳🇿 🥝| I like vocal synths a normal amount don't worry about it
lol does anyone else remember the time a GWU organiser compared the hashtag gamedevsforfiries indies selling anything they could to prevent one more house from burning down in 2020 (many of whom had already lost theirs) to fucking american gun lobbyists. I wonder if that's in her book
does anyone have any good resources for learning irish at the moment? (love my dad, but he's a shite teacher of languages)
"onshape never crashes" YES THE FUCK IT DOES. YOUR BROWSER CAN STILL CRASH.

also, just bought my kawaiicon ticket..!! super excited..! im still def not a hacker or infosec person, but everyone last time was literally just nice and I wanna say hi again. turns out hacker anarchist people like libraries for some reason?? can't possibly think why
Sometimes it's the little things that really go a long way 🐦 @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social talks about how ambient scatters (like birds, frogs, and other critters) are meticulously placed and synchronized across networks for Big Walk #BigWalk #GameAudio
girl first dolly now tim curry what if I call in from work
brooke van velden going on and on about librarians wanting the same salary as engineers makes me insane. "oh because it was inaccurate?" no, because I'm a librarian and I am spending my workday troubleshooting a CNC machine's drive belt I am not even kidding
12GB RAM should NOT be the minimum for new indie games are you fucking KIDDING ME *note: this post writer has 32GB so is literally fine
ok so I know a lot of people regard books as precious etc to be preserved forever but I don't think people are ready to hear about the amount of weeding and withdrawals we have to do at the library. like I told my mum about a book I had to bin the other day and she was HORRIFIED
glad we're finally getting a decent conversation about the racism in the vocal synth community but genuinely if I see one more person going "umm but it Is ok if you don't like rap, that doesn't mean you're racist" I am going to lose my mind. aggressively not the time!!!
100 grams bonus yesterday I maintain I would die for every single one of those staff members
synthwanter@synthwanter.bsky.social · 2mo agoeveryone's always like "the staff are so mean" they leave me the fuck alone!!! I would die for every single one of them!! none of them ever accurately measure the coffee I buy and this always works drastically in my favour
God I love midnight espresso... I wish we had more actual late night cafes here I SHOULD be able to get a coffee and a slice of cake at 11pm anywhere. It's good for the soul!!!
THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO DOLLARS FOR GENERAL ADMISSION?????? I love system of a down but what the FUCK you'd have to work 14 hours to afford that on minimum wage here!! back in the day (only 10 years ago) I worked THREE hours to get tickets to stuff
using my lesbian swag and thousand yard customer service worker stare, I have negotiated the gay barista down to 9 dollar iced mocha instead of 11. I think I can wear him down to 8 dollars if I continue to talk shit about his boss
dawg I think the book sorter at work is going to turn my manager into the joker. like I'm on her side here she fully deserves to hit it with a sledgehammer, we ALL want this, but oh my god
really enjoying #klattsch. everyone is going to have to deal with me posting another synth everywhere I am having SO much fun (despite the shinji chair image) (despite the time on the clock when this was recorded)
the maghni ai stuff is so so much oh my god. at least we have klattsch!!
A vaguely interesting article about running Ableton Live and Push on Linux cdm.link/ableton-live...
Ableton Live and Push can now run on Linux, unofficially - CDM Create Digital Music
Finally, proof that there's life for Live after Apple and Microsoft. It's unofficial and totally unsupported, but a set of patches for the free Wine compatibility environment lets you run Ableton Live...

told a coworker he looks like jeremy fragrance today and he nearly collapsed in exhaustion
