been having the music/games 'industry' parallel on the mind all the way through games week, and that always leads back to me thinking about steve albini being essentially my standard for the kind of person i want to be in a scene/community. heres a little something from a reddit ama he did ages ago

Connections don't mean shit. I've never had any connections that weren't a natural outgrowth of doing things I was doing anyway. Additionally, the people you might make connections with who work in the industry and value connections themselves, all those people are clueless assholes with no clout anyhow. You can tell because they think they can get somewhere with connections and spend their energy trying to make connections rather than being good at things, and being good at things is the only thing that earns you clout or connections.

It's a myth that you can get anywhere in music through connections. The guy on the other end of the connection has to be into what you're doing, and if you're doing it publicly and he's receptive, he probably hears about it on his own.

Don't worry about anything but making music you like. Everything else is bullshit.

Loft (2005)

Pretty good start, but wound up kind of incoherent by the end. Multiple good creepy elements abandoned part way through. Maybe the translation we saw was bad, but I lost the thread during the long conclusion. Unfortunately one of Kurosawa’s worst imo.

Don’t Look Now (1973)

Based on another book by the author of yesterday’s Rebecca. The whole film felt like 1.5hrs of setup for a mildly interesting twist, rather than any meaningful or compelling story. Many scenes really dragged, especially the excessively long and confusing sex scene. Meh.

The Wicker Man (1973)

The content warnings greatly understated how much of certain things were in this. So other than those surprises we weren’t prepared for, I thought it was pretty compelling. Very unsettling community that thinks they’re very normal, seen from the perspective of a lone outsider.

I hadn’t heard of X Dive until you mentioned it yesterday. Looks interesting… are you playing that offline version on Steam?

put out a free archival release of most of my soundcloud music from 2011-13, from my PxTone work (the Cave Story synth) to stuff written circa-Anodyne 1, including a handful of piano songs, covers, etc. Meant to have this out in 2020..better late than never!

The Screaming Skull (1958)

A movie so scary the announcer warned you may die and the producers are offering free coffins to anyone who does. Could’ve used another 10-20mins to establish a motive, but otherwise it was a stupid and fun ride.

Rebecca (1940)

Once again expected horror but got drama. This was great though. Really uncomfortable characters who you shift your feelings on throughout. Multiple twists that felt earned and impactful. Ghost of the mind.

Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees (1975)

Yeah I just didn’t like this pretty much at all

Gameplay is very action, more frenetic than PSO. Run around, double jump, aim & click to attack, speedy dash, skills on num keys, block & light parry mechanic, str dex & mag type classes, quests, mini games…

Def designed for KBM, though one person I was playing with was using gamepad.

Chris (X-YZE out now!) @chrislsound.itch.io · 3d

My first play today was legit really pleasant. Pretty gentle difficulty so far, but apparently later stuff gets intense. I’m not sure exactly how world progression works, but I did get a PSO vibe from its structure: private or public lobbies, can also form separate parties within a lobby.
