bramble

When I see ads like this, I think "Isn't this just Mastodon?"
Masto is smaller, but the engagement there is good.
The moderation is sensible, + if I don't like it, I can change instance.
I personally choose to help pay for the server.

The future is already here, you just didn't notice.

been teasing this one for a while now, but yes! there is a new song, complete w/ a music video and I'm dropping it at the start of pride month!

This song came to me at 1am on February 16, just two days after Valentine's day while I was in a hotel room by myself after having a fantastic HarmonyCon. I worked out the melody in my head while on the plane back + threw it together the following week. I was absolutely obsessed with it, listening to it around 4 times a day for months, but I couldn't put my finger on why. Up until this year, I've identified as asexual. I didn't get crushes, I didn't go on dates, I just wasn't looking for someone, and I certainly wasn't looking for anything physical. So why was I writing this song?

I have won Friday Night Magic, 3-0, top of the 23 person leaderboard, and at a really competitive store too!

my first adventure in finding love is over.
First two dates were great, second two brought in a lot of stress I was unprepared for. Learned what I can, picking myself back up, and we keep going I guess.

Friends are the best

Rocking the only piece of bramble drip in existence!

Brony roommates will jump scare you in the morning by putting up this while you were asleep.

first time rendering on my new machine, and man! This thing is cracked. It can render the video in less time than the actual video length

there are rumors that the first bramble happy hardcore original will be dropping on 6/1...

happy pride month everypony! Here is my silly song about pony love (lyrics are a bit NSFW)

Full thing is on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9HMKUy7QrI

The renegade pi now supports an offline mode where you still sign up on the kiosk, but then scan a QR code to put the info on the website. This is going to be very helpful at hotels with bad wifi which previously had to be all on paper.

feeling really grateful for the support I got from my parents today. They got the crazy dating update from me + were nothing but supportive

First time back at Round 1 post Japan Round 1

We spinning the good stuff

They are once again changing my manager - this will be my 6th manager during my 6.5 years at the company, and yes, we're all joking about how the real goal is to eventually put me under every single manager xD

One of the nicest things about being home is I can finally purchase a month of After Effects + work on music vids. Probably spent 8 hours today doing that.

Still not a fan of the current administration. I march on to show my dissent.

Listened to my song for well over 6 hours last month. God I'm hopeless

Local brony meetups are the best

Do you ever think about
The ponies you hurt along the way?
Casualties of ambition
For you to get here today

Since it was good Friday, was thinking about this drawing my friend sent me last year

Now this... is music

An AI could make some audio that people want to listen to, sure.

There's something very different about crafting a song with all your own words, emotions, skills, obsessing over it for months, commissioning art, going 100% in, and watching it flop.

Good performance review at work. Always happy to know this risk of being fired in the next 6 months is basically zero :)

Damn, pulled off 3-0 at Friday Night Magic again this week

Running some upgrades

I affectionately call this part of production mixing hell 😭

I think I experienced the least productive meeting of my career so far today 😞

The casual "How are you?"

Bro, today is NOT the day for that kind of question 😭

Pony Love is now on Spotify yay!
