This is awesome! Also, Sheffield was on the team that made Demon School. Check out that game, it rips.

As a half-Cuban I'd survive, but be really fucked up about it.

I'm glad all of your project files are still in order! I dread opening anything from my first two albums these days. Who knows what won't load properly. I'm excited to hear the end result!

Imagine the sort of piece of shit you would need to be to try to ferret out a rape victim's personal information and publish it. "Oh, the 1st amendment" yeah, you're still a rancid piece of shit, Tracey. Just because you can doesn't make you any less of a piece of shit if you do.

About a third of the songs I start wind up getting released, and none of the songs I start have finalized song names until well after the lyrics are written. That said...
A Windows directory showing the project folders for potential songs on the next Faustbot album, complete with temporary song titles.

My “A Short History of Nazi-Satanism,” the first comprehensive overview of Nazi-Satanism, is finally out! Runs from the 1970s alliances b/t the Church of Satan & neo-Nazi groups thru today’s Order of Nine Angles and NVE. Link for PDF download. (captcha req) escholarship.org/uc/item/1f57...

Seriously, it's 70 pages including the supplementary material. Take an hour or two and you'll know more about what communism is than a good 9/10 Americans these days.

That's why I'm a fan of the PBtA/Blades In the Dark fail forward philosophy. Pass/fail is boring. It's much more fun to add a complication or force a hard choice.

Selling 6,000 copies of a song in a single week a half year after it was released and is even more easily accessible for free on streaming sites is genuinely impressive.

We need to go scorched earth on gambling sites and the people running them. It's a purely predatory business with no potential for societal good.

Ha ha that’s gross and should make everyone uncomfortable, anyway, Rahm presided over a Chicago police black site, lied about what it was and then I sued the Chicago police for its records that proved it:

By this time next year, I will have made about $17k more than the previous year. That's because I got incredibly lucky on the job hunt after an exhausting, panic-stricken four months of unemployment, during which I averaged 90 applications per month with in-demand skills in an in-demand field.

That's absolutely problematic. No one should be making Dennis Leary references in TYoOL 2026.

This is a really unnecessary movie, but hey, if we get one more absolute banger of a Cardigans song out of it, it'll be worth it.

I'm not saying Langley is an industry plant or that there's some conspiracy behind it. The algorithms now used to judge song popularity are broken and, rather than admit it, it's number 1 on Spotify, so Spotify pushes it, so it gets more plays, so it's number 1 on Spotify.

Faustbot @faustbot.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
You know how BMI is a bullshit measurement that isn't great in the median and completely breaks down at the extremes? Choosin' Texas is number 1 on Spotify. That means Spotify pushes it in playlists and its algorithm. Those plays mean it's popular, so it's number 1 on Spotify.

I've been mixing a LinnDrum plugin alongside the drums for a few songs I'm working on and it fits better than it has any right to. The trick is making both sound cheap and shitty.

As a pragmatic centrist, I read the Niemöller poem differently. After each group mentioned I pencil in what percentage of the population they are, and if it’s a small number I cross off their names as disposable. Poetry is fine but math wins elections!!

The Democrats have no plan but maintaining the status quo that keeps their most established members wealthy and comfortable. They aren't going fix anything. They will bend over backwards to hand the Republicans anything they want, just like the last time they held power.

Faustbot @faustbot.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Why would Democrats want to reverse anything? That sounds hard. A Democrat's job is keeping the donor money coming in. Reversing Trump (or W.'s, or Reagan's) policies is unpaid labor.

I'm begging people to gain some semblance of class awareness, at least how public opinion doesn't matter and the ruling class will always, always close ranks to protect themselves.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Cutting corners a bit here, but the Atelier games are my go-to's when overloaded with violence, and Atelier Yumia is a standalone with no ties to other games in the series yet. Bonus points if you like a puzzle side game to make items, points removed if you want something turn based.
