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
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
Journal! Why have I forsaken you. I don't particularly want to dump a load of really personal shit out onto the Internet, but I have been going through one of the most unstable mental health episodes I've ever experienced. My mood has been a fucking yo-yo. For extra hilarity, I also decided to start a strict diet and temporarily quit drinking to gain some mental clarity, and while I ultimately think those were a good call, short term, I am down two things that I quite enjoyed in a period of Read more
So in case you missed it over New Year's Eve (boo! you suck dick), I streamed a whole bunch of WIP features and charts from my vaporware series of Guitar Hero custom discs called marfGH. I've been practicing, readying charts, and working my ass off to get it as presentable as it could be for the stream for about a month before the stream...and then I drank! And thus sucked at the game. It was a lot of fun, and I super enjoyed it, and so did everyone else. It's all led to a small resurgence of Read more
This is a couple days old now, but I gotta post it here, it's big news! And I've been bored at work, and bored at work is ideal writing time. Two years to the day of my last Guitar Hero II chart demo video, I've posted another. It's for one of Connor's tunes off the self-titled MoriHime album I did a joke review of for my music recommendations sections, "Shooting Star". Check it out here. I'd do a YouTube embed, but I'm trying to be mindful of retro PCs that don't swing that way. A screenshot Read more
I turned 25 recently! It was nice. I got to enjoy a game with the Somnolians (more on that in a moment), I had cake with cannoli filling, I got some music autobiographies I'd picked out and my mom paid for (I'm hard to buy gifts for and we were in the bookstore, so we figured that'd be the easier arrangement), and Caby and Savannah drew me some stuff! Click both for full size! Check out the texture and halftoning on Savannah's! And the Setter PC wallpaper in the Cammy one! That's my real one Read more
Ah, it feels good to be busy again. I said I'd do this journal post two days ago, but then I got working on starting up the ACNES compatibility list project again, I'm streaming again tonight, I've been chatting with people and actually enjoying it again (protip, mute and hide all the channels you're not interested in in any public Discord you're a part of and your life will instantly feel less cluttered) and I've been going on walks again. Every period of being antisocial comes with a burst of Read more
