Money's a lil tight right now so making my services more widely available.

Audio editing/mixing/mastering for YouTube, podcasts, albums/EPs, etc.

If you want me to write for your website or consult on a piece you're writing yourself, I can do that too.

Lemme know if you're interested!

Still one of the best sets ever. So good.

Truly, truly awful band. Zero redeeming qualities. Can't believe you were able to persevere through that.

As an aside I'm mainly just astounded that Videogamer is even still going. Just... how? Who? What?!

Some high roller James Bond-type absolutely furious at the new Videogamer logo because they're sullying his go-to site for online slots news with all this Mario crap

I had taken a couple of sleeping pills on the flight that didn't work but did categorically fuck my entire shit up. Then Nico took us to Doomies

The modern world is a fun guessing game to determine whether your brain fog is the result of your phone addiction, your covid infections, or the lead you eat for breakfast.

I'm not kidding when I say that cancelling my Spotify subscription has not affected my life in any way, other than that I spend the money on Bandcamp instead and the artists get paid infinitely more.

Easiest subscription I've ever dropped. You really don't need it like you perhaps think you do

for fucks sake

cancel your spotify subscription

The not-so-secret to a game's success:

"You really have to create a product for someone that gives them value, that makes them feel like [...] "I'm not gonna be able to get this on Roblox." [...] And that is really the only way that people can stand out."

Just got this e-mail from Uber Eats. What are we doing here. Why is every platform doing this shit. Can you not just go back to me standing awkwardly with my order where, as punishment for my gluttony, the courier takes a photo vaguely of my feet

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

Today I'm playing Urban Reign! An underloved, tough as nails PS2 beat-em-up which beat-me-down, over and over again. And it's amazing. Join Brad Hawk on the hardest 100 fights of his life to save a city he doesn't seem all that invested in.

Mind keeps coming back to this. I remember there was a lot of "haha pop punk vocalist is a nonce" patter the day he got arrested, then the details came out about what he had been doing and, just... jesus. People's tone changed after that. Still properly stomach-turning. Rest in fucking piss, scum
