Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If people had Jace Fatigue in 2010 (something that I have a bit of a history with- iykyk), I'm checking in from day 2 of reality fracture standard on arena, to report I had my first "six jaces in play at once" game 💪 000
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Halloween themed LLM chatbot that says "You're absolutely FRIGHT—" is this anything 000
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 17/09/2026yeah i always feel like how on earth is the typical attorney general's response not just "okay for the record you will all be held accountable and charged with murder as these harms develop, since you see them coming so clearly please act as though you are guaranteed going to go to prison over it" 050
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Here is a pretty solid one of me today. Fresh back from a barber cut and shave. :) 010
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I just put the finishing touches on the one track for "DONT YOU PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH" where the backers really forced my hand. I'm very proud of the job I've done naturally folding bizarre words into places they feel natural on this album. This one though... with the words, I had to lean into it. 000
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It's a long day for my Google Alerts on account of this thing where China, apparently, had a rocket that touched down upright 000
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Not to pat myself on the back but it's days like today I love being a songwriter with diverse tastes. It's fun to not hone in on one sound. I'm switching from the raunchiest, most explicit, sex-on-the-dance-floor track, to a beautiful and pure ballad right now. And I feel both are "me". Fun hobby! 010
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I agree, but I also feel this safe about Weird Al. I just don't think he has it in him 010
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 25/08/2026where are we at on italian wedding soup? that's the only I can't really place here. I'm thinking more marriage material than casual sex, for obvious reasons 110
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 21/08/2026yeah im always amazed that with Amazons brilliant engineers they can't understand that some stuff you are only likely to buy once. If they're like "Congrats on your purchase of a belt sander last week- people like you also bought these belt sanders" thats just poor use of attention space 020
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I made a sale on Bandcamp today and it just made my day. Pleased as punch. IDK how many of you understand just how much, for the small indie artists, a little thing like that just turns your whole week around. Never take it for granted :) 041
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 13/08/2026If you're launching a new tech startup, you don't need as many NDAs as you think. If taking "your idea" would ruin your startup, it's a bad idea. Good tech startups are based on execution, which isn't stolen via a conversation. Many startups actually come from ideas that enterprises WON'T listen to. 0132
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 07/08/2026It's Bandcamp Friday and your great friend (and neighborhood handsome person!) Downupright is, as always, ready to go. Can I interest you in a MANIC EPISODE? Or perhaps some Radical Honesty? Or a nice ambient, good-for-work electronic OST? downupright.bandcamp.com #bandcampfriday #bandcampdownupright.bandcamp.comDownupright 053
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I sat thru the last of the appointment, never rebooked, found a different firm. Discarded all his advice 040
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 06/08/2026When a therapist asked me about my hobbies and I included reading sci-fi and playing Magic: The Gathering, he told me I was just like Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory and then gave me some advice from the show. I will never forgive that show for existing. 180
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Listen. I just beat this literal video game last week, and it's called Pragmata. The single, only difference in the plot is that in real life, Musk would not do anything that involved a child he would care about. #pragmata 000
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Currently playing and will not comment on yet: Gears of War Remake for PS5 (have fond memories of the OG we will see if they are holding up) and The King Is Watching for Switch. 111
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Dungeon Clawler: 9/10. This game has one job and it's to merge the addictiveness of a roguelike with the addictiveness of a claw machine. It does so beautifully, I played it weeks longer than it warranted. Builds are not balanced though. 101
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Black Jacket: 8/10. Best "roguelike that follows Balatro" I have played since Balatro and was blown away that it has a plot that sneaks up on you. Gameplay is slow with animations and dialogue that make runs take 3x as long as they have to. 101
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Unicorn Overlord: 5/10. Best "RPG Tactics" gameplay for me since maybe Triangle strategy; real depth. Story is 0/10 awful unoriginal, many character models very offensive. Not only culture offensive but offensive to physics. I like big titties! But not two hot air balloons stapled to a woman. 101
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Finished some video games in the last few weeks and gonna use this thread to post some 2-sentence reviews of them. Pragmata: 7/10. Genuinely likeable; innovative gameplay I did not tire of. Skipped several steps in character development and too short. Bonus points: incredibly plausible sci-fi plot. 101
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I loathe YouTube Thumbnail Face so much that I've stopped making faces that resemble it in real life now. If something legitimately shocks me or makes me aghast I keep my lips closed and go "hmm". My two eyebrows can no longer move independently. Hands? Nowhere near my face i'll tell ya that much 000
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Feeling cuter than average today for some cursed reason, even though I do not feel well in general 010
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 18/07/2026i think when they say stuff like this, they're carefully selecting for some individual cool shit like a Beethoven's Ninth or a Wright Brothers first flight, and willfully ignoring less salient stuff like "entire populaces without smallpox" or "countries with 98%+ literacy" 010
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Listen, I'm not anti-Universes Beyond. I think they're fun; I do think there's too many right now. I'm just saying when I saw the below image, my first reading of it was that they would be releasing Detroit, Vegas, and Amsterdam themed sets. 241
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Love when I get mail (snail, or email, either) from non-profits being like "Today is your LAST DAY to donate" i am sure it is. i bet. tomorrow i won't be allowed to donate any more 000
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I need one of those crazy German or Finnish or Korean words that don't exist in English, for the following overly specific phrase: "I found the best possible dialogue sample that could ever have existed for this track, and it's public domain" 100
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Ableton Live more like slay-bleton thrive, amirite 000
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 15/07/2026yeah, i spent a lifetime making art about the climate change apocalypse as a way of coping with this coming, but it feels weird that it's here anyway. Doesn't it KNOW that i was one of the believers?? ugh cc @lowguppy.bsky.social 020
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Buffalo, NY, July 15 2026. There are not clouds in the sky- that's a clear sky. No filters are on this photo, taken from my front porch. 593

Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 13/07/2026today in "i have too much online politics brain and magic the gathering lore brain simultaneously" news, I misremembered Multani as Mamdani. It didn't NOT fit though 010
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Darn LLMs are returning results from the future again. Is AI very silly... OR, are Polymarket/Kalshi sitting on some really explosive new technology and it's leaking. (search, if you're curious, was for if Jeffries can get primaried still this year) 000
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 07/07/2026apple music needs a toggle for "hey, for whatever reason, i am going to listen to something i normally don't, and I am asking you in advance to NOT abruptly forget my years of consistent listening history in favor of this one thing" 010
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 06/07/2026For me this is 100% nickelback's "how you remind me". it was inescapable and even at the time so aggressively mediocre 040
Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Seeing a lot of @doctorow.pluralistic.net in the news today re: the new book being great! Fun fact, did you know we briefly collab'd? He did the intro and outro on last year's "Funeral Service For The Good Internet" and was great to work with. 😁 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxYY...youtube.comDownupright - "A Funeral Service For The Good Internet (1992-2014)" ft.

Downupright @downupright.bsky.social · 24/06/2026TV has given me unrealistic expectations like I could dice vegetables and they just sit there on the chopping board accepting being diced and not flying up at angles into my eye 010
