When they were first blowing up, I thought sure, I’ll turn a couple old unreleased tracks of mine into NFTs. I signed up to some site I forget the name of, uploaded the tracks, and then then found out I had to pay something like $500 a track to turn them into NFTs. It was a pretty duh moment for me. Of course the content doesn’t mean shit, it’s just the money. I never paid them a dime and deleted my stuff.

Synthesizer and gym habit. The former for fun, and the latter out of necessity.

Bit by bit? The move to mobile was like getting hit in the face with an inaccessibility bat. I hate mobile OSes with a passion. Unfortunately, they’re overwhelmingly the way through which people interact with the Internet or do any kind of tech stuff anymore. I do a lot of audio work, and Android lacks even simple routing software. It just uses the last audio device plugged into it. Never mind you only want to use the mic on that and not the output. Forget using multiple devices. It’s infuriating. You’ll pry my desktop away from me through my cold, dead hands.

How much attention is paid? I frequently throw on YouTube for background noise. I only hit up Netflix or Disney if I actually want to watch something. I bet I’m not alone.

Yeah, Wood Man might be my #2. Possibly Metal man, too, though.

Time is accelerated in your space such that you age a year for every day spent there.

Mega Man 2, Wily Stage 1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aTbfpkByIM8&pp=ygUdbWVnYSBtYW4gMiB3aWx5IHN0YWdlIDEgbXVzaWM%3D

Heck. Half the Mega Man 2 sound track is probably in the top ten.

If anyone is curious, I looked it up and The Guinness Book of World Records currently recognizes Rajveer Meena as the world record holder for Pi memorization. He recited 70’000 digits of Pi while blindfolded in about ten hours in 2015. I can’t even begin to understand how someone could actually do that.

The removal of YouTube dislike is still fucking infuriating to me. I get it: now I have to watch the video to find out if it’s a piece of shit, and that’s exactly what they want, but holy fuck what a shitty decision designed to waste my time and maximize their chances to flash an ad in my face.

OMG, I just realized she looks exactly like “GIVE HIM A TICKET” lady.

Phoenix Suns for me. I don’t even like basketball.

Haha! I started watching one Pewdiepie video, I dunno, five-or-ten years ago or something, and as soon as I started the video he started screaming. I turned it off and never went back.

That’s good to know. Thanks!

I’m curious. I just updated to Windows 11 because I got tired of the full-screen EOL IS COIIMING PANNIICC! messages. I also just moved. I will be plugging in my PC tonight and won’t have Internet until the day after tomorrow. I wonder if it’ll let me do anything.

Belly Dance in my ass.

Yeah, I love Morphine, and “happy” is quite possibly the last adjective I would use to describe them. Some of it’s kind of playful maybe.

We’re as far away from the 90s as the 90s were from the 60s.

Ugh…

It only relatively recently occurred to me that the vast majority of people use the Internet either solely or mostly with a mobile phone. It blew my mind since I grew up with PCs and modems and the Internet is so much better on a large screen that’s not half full of ads.

Power to them. I’m sure Hollow Knight made them all independently wealthy. I’d be hard pressed to bother to work too hard, too.
