Very hyped to see Autechre live for the first time tonite, and this warning email already sets the scene for something special

Staring at the clock and my bandcamp wishlist, and slapping the counter like Judge Judy
(bandcamp friday can’t come soon enough)

Saw party cats being brought into existence over the network onto a homebrew engine and other fun live music and visual shenanigans, A+++ would attend again

Just got at a local demoscene/tech art meetup event and there’s a bunch of commodores running demos on a table, wow

Getting Papo y Yo and The Last Guardian vibes from the first moments of @okomotive.ch’s Herdling, it’s very pretty and runs incredibly smooth on PS5 👌 the music’s lovely, too!

A physical game made by my wife’s grandfather… can you balance these 12 nails on a single nail?

Last but not least… fresh Kyobancha! One of my favorite kinds of roasted teas, in no small part due to how it looks. Love those big crunchy leaves ☺️
Not too much campfire smoke on this one, a light and soft aroma, perfect to warm you up on a cold spring day.

Today’s tea : a more “everyday” kinda hōjicha, pretty dry and not intensely aromatic, but perfectly fine as it is. 👌

Today’s tea : ~the sweet roast~
Kinda bought this one because of the name. It’s smokey, not super sweet, not bad but not outstanding.

Today’s fun tea, a Hoji-Genmaicha made with Kyobancha! That’s a mouthful. Super nice to have the roasted caramel notes of grilled rice in a Hojicha, this is a very autumny tea 🍂

Starting off strong with this super fragrant, fresh and light hōjicha made from Gyokuro stems! Delightfully nutty, a little green, light sweetness and rich aroma.

Hope y’all are ready for more tea adventures 😤

It felt irreplaceable because it was, but @mcbourdua.bsky.social made magic happen, and commissioned @mohustore.bsky.social to make... an identical one! It's intensely surreal to wear something I was sure I'd lost forever. I'm so so so grateful 😭

I have a birthday story.
At GDC 2012, a charming couple from South Africa who were big fans of FEZ ( @mohustore.bsky.social & @ruby0x1.ca ) gifted me an AMAZING hand-knit scarf, adorned with Gomez and Zuish pixel art. It blew my mind, and quickly became one of my favourite things.

90s nostalgia takes many forms, this is a good one
