I didn't know that Hubba Bubba was still around, I just bought a pack. This is the first time I've had bubblegum in literal decades. Some guys buy a motorbike at this age, I buy gum. I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I still have some gum left, want one?

I just saw this photo of the linguist Yuri Knorozov,and this is the energy that I plan on taking with me into 2026.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.

The title screen for the 80s computer game "Sword of Aragon."

I just saw a post about Shadowgate for the NES and I totally forgot that I ever played this. I had forgotten about this game - and the fact that I played it - for decades. Thinking about looking for a playable copy, but I've got music to work on.

Shadowgate title screen that shows the "Shadowgate" title and "Push Start."

Ha! Speaking of, here's the update. Anticlimactic, but not unexpected. I was going to try buying one but the coil is not even touching the candy bar, whoever stocked it is either an idiot or just doesn't care at all lol

Chocolate bars laying flat in a vending machine. The angle clearly shows that the coils are not even touching the candy and that there is no way to dispense them.

I decided to see if the flat candy bar would come out. @thermonuclearmusic.bsky.social

Is it just me or does this not seem like it's gonna work?

The concept is an homage to the Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook:

New album art from my guy on Fiverr (Aysel Kgm), I really like the way it came out.

Too many to name, but in that same year I was hooked on Wing Commander 2

I've been sitting on this one for a while, not sure why. Everything is ready to go, I just need the cover art. I could have dragged out a waterfall release for the entire year but I think I want to just get it over with.

Trying to decide which ongoing projects from last year to take out of production and shelve. I've even got some from September in there. I often wonder if I should just wipe the slate clean, but I really want to keep some of these.

The track is some of my earlier work and sounds like it, but I really liked the artwork for it. It was done by @nickortega3 at Fiverr. He's done some great work and has been one of my go-to artists.

I recently posted the new EP cover @kgm1988 from Fiverr made for me, but here's an old one. Deathtrack was an 80s PC game that I played a LOT, and this was a re-creation of the game box art. It's definitely one of my favorites.

I never post these, but I guess things are different on Blue Sky. I'm a top 10 artist for three fans and I'm pretty sure that one of those fans is me lol Side note, I need to find a different picture to use
