Thanks for the reply! Instead of asking the myriad additional questions I have for you here, I think I'll try to tune in when you stream next week and ask there. Loving your work, and it makes sense that Jeremy Soule's work inspired what I'm hearing in Hytale. The use of dynamics in particular.

Quite welcome. Actually, I think this is the best music for a game I've heard since Skyrim, and that's super high praise. What did you use to perform these tracks? DAW + Midi controller? What sample and VST libraries did you use?

Sorry for the questions, this is sort of a dream of mine.

@oscargarvin.bsky.social

I just spent the last hour hanging fairy lights in my office, because who doesn't need a little whimsy and color in their lives these days, and I had the Hytale main menu open while doing so.

Good god, man, you didn't have to go so hard. Wow. I am impressed. Great Job!

It's a great series. I hope you enjoy it!

It's a wonder they haven't been engaged by a "good guy with a gun" yet. I also find it truly shameful they're not going after the people they SAID they wanted to target: gangs and hardened criminals. They're going after families, children and other brown people regardless of their legal status.

Heh, I have ADHD inattentive-type with high-functioning autism thrown in for flavor. It means the real world feels abrasive and uncomfortable so I retreat to fantasies and daydream a lot, and that social interactions are both difficult and overcompensated for a lot. Hyperfocus is a superpower, tho.

SO ENFORCE IT. DO something instead of posting on frickin' social media, because all this looks like is virtue signaling. GODS, I wish Democrats weren't such a bunch of useless fops. I have no interest in running for office, but it seems like someone with some balls SHOULD.

I think there was a sex scene in Warlords of Nin by Stephen R Lawhead that severely disturbed my 2nd or 3rd grader brain. I was a super-sheltered kid. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card was the first book that AFFECTED me, though. That book was super formative for me when I found it in middle school.

And it largely won't matter for the average American consumer, since prices are going to continue their meteoric rise due to China not playing ball. The economy is still in an extraordinarily precarious situation that can easily lead to 1930s levels of poverty and unrest.

Would dearly love to see it. He is a hero.

Given the bigotry we're still dealing with in this country over issues of gender identity and sexual attraction, however, I have concerns about his electability. I will 110% volunteer for his campaign, though, and help make it one hell of a fight.

Holy shit. The United States was not invited to the NATO summit on Ukraine in Paris on March 11.

There’s no other meaning:

The United States was just benched for colluding with the enemy.

The Vatican needs to focus on removing the plank(s) from its own eye instead of moralizing.

All day, any day, and twice on Sundays, upon any topic he wishes to hold forth. I'd listen to him for hours, enrapt.

Their impact is mostly in protecting Elon's companies from investigation and subsequent sanctions, and enacting Project 2025.

It probably saved my life. I was on my way to getting bad enough to be admitted, and Paxlovid turned me around almost entirely within 48h. One year ago, I could've been in an ICU, on oxygen and waiting to die from COVID like so many others. I'm thankful this was available.

But that's the problem. It isn't just one idiot. We have dozens of them in federal government now, and a third of the country now radicalized under the MAGA flag.

Good point sir. I think, however, that you're going to find a difficult fight instilling civic virtue where none exists at home.

Well, that and more gaslighting about the landslide that wasn't.

Having met some recent/current high schoolers, any attempt to force emotional maturity and intelligence or cultural awareness of any kind on them will be met with derision and apathy in a way that only teenagers can generate.

At some point personal growth is your responsibility.

Yeah, they even talked about that on that Mormon wives reality show. That show was ridiculous, but it was a good point! You go from thinking sex is completely wrong and evil, to suddenly having to be irresistibly sexy and sex-crazed for your husband.

This entire administration seems to be all about three things, really: accelerating the transfer of wealth to the top .1%, enacting revenge on anyone they see as an enemy, and punishing the out-groups they've been demonizing for years.

They've been doing it since then, and never really even slowed down on. Disguising bad investments by packaging them with ostensibly "good" ones and passing the risk off to others is a time-honored way for financial markets to game the system and bilk millions out of their retirements.

Problems like too many analysts, middle-management and "leadership" needing to have their names attached to a project in order to be able to claim it, so they all need to move a piece on the board to say they did something, leading to uncontrolled scope creep and chaos as requirements shift daily.
