Sometimes I’m like hello Cubase please open and it’s like nah I don’t feel like working today. Which is honestly so relatable but also please open
magmacranes.bsky.social
God yes exactly. Or even for lower stakes things sometimes too

Oh yeah this is very context dependent and I am def not talking about random reply guy type scenarios haha

And that’s weird to me. Why is it okay for you to say opinions but not for people to say opinions back
magmacranes.bsky.social
One thing I’ve noticed happening is something like this

Person A: here is a strong negative opinion about (let’s say parmesan cheese)

Person B: I think that opinion is wack because reasons

Person A: wow you can’t express ANYTHING or the parmesan cheese fandom will be at your throat 🙄

It doesn't take much for me to reach this state btw. The only requirement is that the weather is not hot

We've officially reached "why would I do literally anything when I could instead be sitting on the couch with my cat and a fluffy blanket" season
magmacranes.bsky.social
That does help thank you

We changed the timing

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.

I wonder what chain of events caused humans to evolve in such a way that led to me getting intrusive thoughts to reach over and steal people’s cocktails whenever I walk past a fancy restaurant patio

Jenny Nicholson tweet continues to not miss
@JennyENicholson

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Sad girl indie lol

I’m still trying to decide if I want to lean in a more folky or synthy direction!

That’s great to hear! I’ve really wanted to incorporate my voice into my music for awhile now
magmacranes.bsky.social
One thing I’ve noticed is that with the world being what it is rn, I’ve developed a very “fuck it I’ll give it a go” attitude to things that seem scary but are actually pretty low stakes. Like what’s the worst that could happen? I sing badly in front of the class and it’s embarrassing? Who cares
magmacranes.bsky.social
I did a scary thing and signed up for a voice class! I’m so nervous, but I’ve always wanted to be able to sing. I’m really hoping to eventually record some of the songs I’ve written!

Taskmaster 20 so far is going the way most of the other seasons have gone: my 4 new best friends and one guy who I’m not sure about yet but will probably grow on me
magmacranes.bsky.social
Phew good news everyone I still know how to do music

These seem to be the ones most people are saying! And damn they’re like $200 off, that’s wild
magmacranes.bsky.social
I like my Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro headphones a lot, but I'm starting to also want an open back pair. What ones do you all recommend? Let's say ideal budget is around $200, with wiggle room to go up to $300 if need be.

They MUST be comfy!!!

I like how Supergiant was like ah yes, the bisexuals enjoyed the hot gods in Hades, let’s double the number of hot gods for the second game. Thank you Supergiant 🙏
