needed to record some alto sax... so now I own an alto sax again. I sold my last alto (a beautiful and sturdy selmer series 2) in 2000 to pay for a trip to the UK to visit my girlfriend (we've now been married 21 years). always wanted a yani alto and got a great deal on this used fella.

sworcery had just come out ( hi @c64.bsky.social ) and it filled me with wanderlust, I had to do any other thing with my life, and I got a different job and have been trying to stay creatively fulfilled ever since my font renderer here isn't good yet but it's neat to just boot this up and get misty

spent some time recently trying to get flixel running as a lua framework on top of an sdl3 backend; got far enough that the old Mode demo by @adamatomic.bsky.social ( w/ @dannybstyle.bsky.social music I think??? ) is mostly functional and I remembered when the world was a bit better

in our house the ultimate fate for our muji pens is to become lost or be eaten by my dog, whose name is muji (after the pens)

on my way back home but stopped into the midtown muji to get 2 boxes of the best pens humanity ever made, since they seem to be disappearing from this earth this is a post about societal collapse

#randomgamesaturday! Been on a neo geo pocket color kick lately. Starting a new save on Faselei, a mech combat game for NGPC that I'm always impressed by and also equally frustrated by the 5D chess move programming combat.

a clear neo geo pocket color running faselei, your radio friend is saying "can you hear me ApplBs?" and the mech is named "Shramp"
