Hue 25

I’m not a visual artist myself, but the bits of green on the shirt and eyes breaking through the red is just incredible.

Going to try to participate in Huevember but not give myself a time limit. It will take a few months but I’d like to do all 30 days eventually. Here’s a cat for Day 9.

New Album!

As of a few days ago, I've finished my second album! I'm still working out the last details with the artist of the album art, but the music itself is complete, and I'm hoping to be able to release everything sometime within the next week. Here's the second track, "Immer unter demselben Mond"

Full quality uploads coming to bandcamp as soon as possible; Enjoy!

The Animal Crossing Idea

I had an idea: a console Animal Crossing game that allowed you to merge towns with a friend over wireless internet. The town would be twice as long, with the two original towns on each side, but they would share a common main street. I realized that having two people share a town would have some interesting effects; Now the chances of one of the users being able to play the game and take care of all the chores on any given day is twice as with only one player, and you have two people generating the town revenue, not just one. In order to balance the economy, the value of bells is decreased, so the players are encouraged to have a bell boom ordinance in at least one of the towns to make up the difference. Weeds and other minor inconveniences could come around 1.5 times as regularly, to support the players coordinating getting one person in the town each day. Lastly, the two players could separate their towns at any time if they choose, and could even merge towns with another friend. This is in no way an actual suggestion, just a weird Idea that popped into my head. Feel free to let me know what you think!

I love when he’s drawn with this texture. Wobbly feelings

popular YouTube channels are great and informative until they make a video about a topic you're informed on and then the house of cards comes crashing down as you realize how utterly wrong they are about most things

Hey, look at me. Look at me. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: you need to condition yourself to being okay with being inconvenienced by things. The first time I spoke about this I meant it in a mental health way- it is good to go out to the store and see people versus just ordering alone at home- but there is another more pressing societal issue you should be more concerned about as well.

Any service you rely on for convenience can be weaponized against you the moment you begin to rely on it. Streaming used to be a cheap and convenient way to see movies at home. It is now exorbitantly expensive, you need multiple accounts just to get what you want, and any of those movies can be taken from you at any time. And unless you have gotten used to going through the “inconvenience” of owning physical media, you can do nothing about it. Same goes for buying things on Amazon. Same goes for any service like DoorDash etc. These companies WANT you to be reliant on them for convenience so they can do whatever they want to you because, well, what else are you gonna do?

Same thing goes for the uptick in AI. If you train yourself to become reliant on AI for doing basic things, you will be taken advantage of. It is only a matter of a couple years before there are no free AI services. Not only that, but in the usage of AI’s case, it is robbing you of valuable skills that you need to curate that you will be helpless without the moment the AI companies drive in the knife the way they have done with streaming. Delivery. Cable. Internet. Etc. It will happen to AI too. And if you are not practicing skills such as. Writing. You are not only going to be at the mercy of AI companies in the digital world, but you are going to be extremely easy to take advantage of in real life too.

I am begging you to let go of learned helplessness. I am begging you to stop letting these companies TEACH you helplessness. Do something like learn to pirate. It is way more inconvenient at the beginning, but once you know how, it is one less way companies can take advantage of you. Garden. Go to the thrift store (older clothes hold up better anyway). These things take more time and effort, yes, but using time and effort are muscles you need to stretch to keep yourself from being flattened under the weight of our capitalist hellscape.

Inconvenience yourself. Please. Start with only the ways you are able. Do a little bit at a time. But do something.
