My friend Austin has released a new EP after a frankly shit start to the year. There's some really beautiful moments in it, and also a George Lucas sample. I love his shit. It's on pretty much all streaming platforms, including Qobuz, which I pestered him to make sure it was on, as that's what I'm using these days.

Disclaimer: this is largely a reminder for myself, since I suspect this is not the most stable solution. Follow at your own peril.

2025 has concluded. Sayonara 2025. Much like the year itself, I'm starting over this year. Not from scratch, but maybe atop old foundations. Elaborate! Late last year I picked up a new hobby, 3D printing. That's been going well, still. I'm messing up measurements less often, and printing usable

For possible bragging rights - or to humble myself - I'll make some predictions about the pricing of the Steam Machine.

I started this blog primarily because it is fun to start things. Therefore for the same reason as I had started my previous blog, and the one before that.

I caved and bought a Bambu P1S on sale. Now I'm a 3D printer guy.

My friend Austin Schaeffer released this demo in the summer, and after the occasional repeat listen it turns out I actually love it. Fav track: Primordial

Before I transitioned to Arch on my desktop, for about a year I was running Manjaro on a clapped out Microsoft Surface 1. I think I was trying different distros and Manjaro just worked nicely out of the box, so I stuck with it. I avoided most Manjaro-isms, no pamac, just used pacman directly. It

Playing this really shocked me. Spent 15 minutes sidling through the tutorial, which the game helpfully warned me was very important and should probably not be skipped. I felt it was technically competent, with some interesting elements, but it didn't really make sense as a game to me.

Early in the summer of 2025, I impulsively decided I would switch my primary OS from Windows to Linux. The inciting factor was, I believe, Windows mysteriously removing the date from under my clock, again.

Here we go again. This time around I'm trying out HTMLy, which seems easy and convenient. My motivation to get a blog going is mainly a desire to more thoroughly interrogate, discuss, and reflect on media. We'll see how it goes!
