I woke up early this morning with a feeling of deep peace. My huge project for 2025, getting the marfGH base settled and Volume 1 out the door, not only happened on time, but has actually gotten the best first day reaction of any video I've posted in the last few years, in views and comments. It tops even the MoriHime custom, whose own reaction made me see there was still plenty of interest in what I can offer these games. It all feels very vindicating. Me and my friends pulled off in four Read more
For the past four weeks, I woke up and did art. Or I woke up and played through the entire setlist, all difficulties, both instruments. If you're a math whiz, that's twenty songs times four difficulties times two instruments, and actually slightly more. Or I woke up and hunted down bugs and did little tweaks to menus to get things as shiny and presentable as possible for tomorrow, Christmas day, aka the release date for marfGH: Volume 1 at long last. The launch video isn't public yet as of Read more
(Thanks for the coolest photo of marfGH ever, dcb.) I have been locked into a state of frenzy with Volume 1 for almost two weeks now. Polish, bugfixes, art, and sending things out to beta testers is kinda all I've done with my life for a while. Some days, I wake up, exhausted over the little circles. Some days, like today, I have a renewed sense of dedication to the little circles. We are still set to ship for Christmas. As I stand, the setlist is playable end-to-end, my tweaks are all Read more
I promised a creative update today! We're getting very close to the Christmas 2025 due date I set for myself with marfGH: Volume 1, and I'm happy to report the disc is also very close. I have one last song to port over before the setlist is playable end-to-end. I got the last custom for the disc, The Tragically Hip's biggest hit "New Orleans is Sinking", finished on Wednesday. It's a blast—possibly the most fun chart I have ever done. Blues soloing is a much different flavor than metal Read more
Still full of homemade stuffing, prime rib, and alcohol over here (and now homemade carrot cake!), but I figured I'd drop in quick and wish whoever's passing by a happy Thanksgiving (or if you're not American, a wonderful and completely random Thursday). Last year, I did a post on the group blog all about what I'm thankful for and went well for me this year, and that's kind of the aim for this post, but just on a smaller scale. It's easy to get mired in upsetting shit (boy do I know that well), Read more
While I've been keeping up my real instrument practice decently well since I got it (I can now play "Where is My Mind?" fairly cleanly, so that's cool), I still had plastic instruments to finish up business with. Rock Band 2 is a gigantic game, with 84 songs in total and dozens of setlists to burn through arranging those songs in various orders. The last one in the game is The Endless Setlist, which has you playing all 84 in a row, starting with the easiest songs and ending with the hardest. Read more
Did you know I bought a bass? Not a lot of people know I bought a bass. I dreamt about this bass Thursday night, that's how much I wanted one. When I bought it, I was so electric, I couldn't sit still. I was too busy fooling with it yesterday to post about it, or like, answer messages. The first song I sorta played on it other than "Psycho Killer" was "High and Dry" by Radiohead. I'm going to learn this thing so fucking hard, you watch. And listen. Not right now, because you can't hear it Read more
Still chipping away at the things I said I was working on in the previous post, but I've been meaning to be better about updating the journal, so here's another fun post. The not-really-fun context: my grandma has fairly late stage lung cancer and has moved in with us to hopefully have a better quality of life going out. This has naturally made things a little screwy around the house, but it's also provided a more fun opportunity to snoop and larp as a digital archaeologist. Rather than simply Read more
Dive In
October 28, 2025
October's been a tricky month for me. It's been hard adjusting back to life at home, and more often than not, I've just felt like people don't really need to see more from lil old me, really. I started just playing PS2 games all day instead, and that was cool, but I knew I had to get back on the horse sooner or later. (It calls to me. It goes "neigh neigh" in the night.) I've also been having really irritating, bruised soreness in my writing hand thumb from a tendon issue (exacerbated by Read more
I'm still working on getting all systems going again. Alas, I cannot blame it on a Skin Condition thanks to my filthy house or the Incorrect Medication That I Said Was The Correct Medication After The Other Incorrect Medication, I just gotta wake up and do some shit. Let's funpost! Here's some PS1 memory cards I bought. Anyone who's seriously played a decent chunk of the PS1's library knows that one memory card doesn't really cut it. You get 15 "blocks" on one, which adds up to 128KB of total Read more
