New pinned post!

I'm Ben, 34 he/him, and I am a musician, streamer, and politcally left audio engineer from Germany.

I stream video games two times a week on twitch and upload a new patch with my modular synth every saturday.

Preaching the words of Disco Elysium.

Precognition lacks in hindsight.
I fully believe the push to remove physical buttons in cars is a push by car companies to have more people crash so they can sell more new cars.

Home, fucking finally.
That's what I get for visiting a friend in a German area that literally translates to "Sour Land".

I just hope Olaf Scholz is sitting in front of a tv with a beer thinking "yeah see, it's not so easy, isn't it?!" to himself.

Nothing like standing in a Hamlet named Fröndenberg for over an hour while looking forward to maybe getting an ice train one hour later than planned and without a seat reservation now.

The German Audio Engineer Conference was awesome, I met some great people and listened to a lot of interesting talks.
But man, am I happy that I'll be in my own bed tonight.

Finally time to travel home today.

Every day that passes I am more convinced that a butlerian jihad is necessary.

Ok nrw what's wrong with your regional trains? Why do they look like they're out of the 90s?
This SH boy is not used to no wifi or power outlets anymore.

Will post during next week.

You know it's good music if when walking down the street you don't know if the sound is part of the track or a motorcycle nearing from behind you.

Imma claim the new oglaf comic, since in 2020 I asked "Which bat is his dong?" during a stream, thank you.

Crazy that Metaphor Re:Fantazio is already over a year old. That game is so good y'all.
I wonder what Atlus is cooking now.

I'm thinking about "rebranding" my music releasing side online. Up until now I used multiple different project names for different styles and releases - that was freeing then, but now I feel that, should I make something not exactly like one of those previous projects, it would need a new name (1/)

Going on a multiple day trip is always a bit anxiety inducing for me, but I know my fears are irrational.

What the - und ich benutze das nicht leichtfertig - fuck.

Aber gut, was soll man von der SPD auch erwarten.
Und so kommt die Arbeitspflicht schleichend. Erst für Asylsuchende, dann für unter 25-Jährige – erst nur in Thüringen und als Nächstes wo und für wen?

By the way (not sure if there's anyone in my circle this applies to, but who knows):
I'll be in Düsseldorf from next tuesday til saturday for the Tonmeistertagung (German Audio Engineer Conference). If anyone else is there and would like a schnack over some coffee, hit me up!

Terranigma. I don't know how it's still less played than Secret of Mana or Illusion of Time (which are both good games, but not Terranigma level).

Also Link's Awakening. The OG.
No, not the DX version.
Is there a video game you loved as a kid that you think gamers should try today?

At this point I'm just surprised some people started to believe the Democrats would actually fight.

If you see this, quote this post with your favourite bug-type Pokémon.
(Not just my favourite bug-type, btw, but my favourite Pokémon, period.)

I finally got the midi keyboard situation sorted and can dive into my sexy sexy Roland JV-1080

... right before I am gone for a week 😅
November 9, 2025 at 1:22 PM
Since I'll be gone on a business trip next week I'll take today to just have a bit of me time, so no stream! Next one will be on wednesday, 19th November, full of energy to continue Final Fantasy IX.
