I spend a chunk of last week trying not to rage quit Baby Steps and then real life throws this at me? What did I do to deserve this?

That thing where after two hours of searching the synth patch from 2008 you really wanted turns out to be from a dev build of a plugin and doesn't load in the released version 😢

Still smiling at how much love was in the room at the Kae Tempest show last night. What a beautiful experience.

SUPERHOT VR was one of the boldest pieces of video game art I'd experienced. I'd not heard about the removal of the story since. That it's no longer there is a tragedy, and its post purchase deletion reminds me of the need to preserve the works that matter.
Great essay. Huge spoiler alert.

SUPERHOT VR had its whole story patched out. I thought about it slightly too long and fell into rabbit hole. It doesn't make sense, it's bad that it happened, and it prompts a whole bunch of naval-gazing about Art.

I don't talk about how horny the game is. it is horny but that's not part of this

It’s #BandcampFriday which means is a perfect time to support artists by embracing this antidote to poor streaming income for the majority of acts during Spotify Wrapped & Apple Replay season
This was one of my ideas to make the most of year-end lists from this week’s @drownedinsound.org newsletter

The @nadineshah.bsky.social show at Kentish Town last night was just superb. An incredible voice and utterly compelling on stage.

It's a strange old world when Cubase & Maschine both release updates on the same day and the new pattern editor in Cubase is significantly more compelling.

Heartbroken I couldn't get tickets for The Cure Troxy show. Still nursing a similar wound about Five Imaginary Boys at The Garage and that was over 30 years ago, so probably taking this one to my grave!

It’s embarrassing to me that teams think this is just the way the business is. It is not normal to extract value for an IP and think that the craft that made it is fungible

Lovely time at the Underworld gig at Ally Pally this weekend - spent time with some old friends and bathed in the bright lights and banging tunes!
And *incredibly* met Jeff Minter & Giles from Llamasoft who were total friendly gents when I (starstruck) babbled excitedly but incoherently at them!
