How often do I listen to the kind of music I make? Much less often than you’d think 😅 Enjoying this great metal cover by @jonnyatma.com on the train

Happy #PokemonDay ! I can’t believe it’s already been 30 years since it all started 😱 I started off with Red version and have enjoyed every generation since. It’s not much, but I wanted to play a little something to celebrate. Happy 30th Anniversary to one of my favorite franchises of all time!

I don’t have any grand words for today but just want to take a moment to celebrate Black joy and achievement. 🙌 Despite not necessarily feeling “Black enough” at times, I’m happy to celebrate today as my full self to honor my ancestors and make my family proud! Happy Juneteenth everyone! ✨

FINALLY finished Metaphor ReFantazio after putting it off because I didn’t want it to end! 😭 What an incredible journey and empowering message, especially in our current political climate. Never stop dreaming and let’s keep striving towards a better world.

This song is so silly but is also incredibly catchy! 100% my jam for the night. (I can’t get over the singer losing it after attempting a Yoshi tongue sound 💀)

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is honestly a ton of fun!! Just finished 2-player adventure mode. Still super hard though and I nearly tore my hair out with world 10-7 🙃

Man… I really feel for all the musicians, artists, creators, and small businesses that built up their following and livelihoods with TikTok. This is just sad to see.

Cool to see wearable air filters are a thing now! But… I’ve been playing too much Metaphor recently and immediately asked myself if this could be a good base for making an igniter for cosplay 😅

Random fact: I love the look of an acoustic slat wall but I can’t play harp (well) in a room with vertical lines in my field of view! So I’m actively avoiding this for my studio (under construction).

An old, unfinished arrangement of Corridors of Time 🕰️ I had a lot of fun playing with the rhythm to capture the overall feel a bit more than usual!

I feel you! I’ve ended up spending like 5 hours in this one dungeon to buy time and get way too much money to make sure I can maximize the rest of my days in game
