Getting ready for a house party on Saturday. Enjoying the autumn sun by day and some chill lights by night.

I know this doesn't have the reach of other socials, but if anyone in #synthsky wants to check out some #livemusic #EDM in southern #Maine ...I'm playing this coming 808 Day at On A Plain Brewing starting at 5:30. Plus, I cracked myself up making the flyer so I wanted to share it

Killing time before my gig at The Thirsty Pig. Bummed that we can't play outside... this seems like a waaaaaaay better place to set up!
Also outside the back of The Thirsty Pig. The beautiful blue sky above and the ivy-covered walls framing the deck tablesOutside the back of The Thirsty Pig. The back entrance door on the right and their sign in the center.
The place looks weathered, but loved. The colorful decorations juxtapose nicely against the bricks, fire escape, and old building sign.

Happy to be almost home
The view from outside the window during my flight home. It's night time and the moon is shining brightly over the wing. It's illuminating part of a lake and some town lights can be seen on the ground.
You can also just barely make out a reflection of my son's hands, blotting out the screen light so I could take this picture. He's such a good sport. I love him so much.

Something that bothered me about The Menu... I get that they could have whipped up a burger and fries, but Chef specifically mentions the American cheese as being something gross and bad. So why did they stock it on the island? Or where did they get it without running out to the mainland?

Feedback is the sound of music listening to itself. When you hear that swelling shriek, that’s just the music letting out a “whoop!” because it’s so excited about how good it’s sounding.

I saw some stupid meme about how nobody protested immigration enforcement until Trump started doing it. I know that "history repeats itself" is a thing, but seems like we should be able to collectively remember things that happen in our own lifetimes, right?

Day 5: game deserving a remake Been saying for years that I would love a Bushido Blade remake. Don't arcade-ify it or anything... keep the deep, contemplative vibe. No health bars or combo tickers flying around. Should be nothing but the two combatants and the lethal rock-paper-scissors gameplay

Well, as of just a little bit ago, I can proudly say that this is *not* Diablo 4 anymore. The series holds some sentimental value for me, but it's pretty bad, if I'm being honest. But! I just got the platinum, so I'm done with that. ACTUALLY currently playing Silksong. Stuck on a boss, of course.
"30 days of videogames" day 4 is "currently playing"

Seems kind of silly doing "Hardest Boss Fight" while stuck on a boss in Silksong... ...but, The One That Got Away for me is Dracula from the original Castlevania. Sure, probably other bosses have been harder, but I have never beat that final boss and it haunts me to this day.
"30 days of video games" day 3 is "hardest boss fight"

My brother and I, after completing the game many many many times, used to take days to make Duke Nukem maps for each other to play. Now, definitely by far, my most played game is Slay the Spire. I still play this game after platinum-ing it... and also play the board game a ton.
"30 days of video games" day 2 is "most hours in game"
