Curious Quail We're an orchestral + chiptune indie collective with members in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Pacific Northwest and New England that mix fuzzy guitar rock, orchestral instrumentation and music made ...

it's bandcamp Friday - I'm notoriously bad at promoting my music so I like to use these moments to remind you, those who follow me here on this page, that I make music and if you're into like, gameboys/guitars/violins doing shit together boy do I have the stuff for you

GILDED LEAVES music for flora and fauna.

Internet Janitor just uploaded a blog post that I think you should read if you enjoy #WigglyPaint or Decker:

It really sucks to see just how many people have stolen WigglyPaint to slap “send money to me (instead of the developer)” buttons all over it.

You've seen nothing like this game's combat - NITRO GEN OMEGA Explained YouTube video by DESTINYbit

this is the trailer that sold me last summer and I can't shut up about it

www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WT-...

men what's stopping you from dressing like this

Screenshot of Nitro Gen Omega; a pilot wearing a breathing mask and bucket hat is using the 'Deploy Smokes' option

A mech with a white body and red details holding absurdly large pistols is firing

A character with pink hair doing the 'sicko mode' scream

Two characters playing an intense DDR round

I can't stress enough how fun the game is or how much style is oozes. (Plus you manage your mech crew's relationship with things like playing DDR between missions)

Save 15% on NITRO GEN OMEGA on Steam A sandbox tactical RPG of steel, fire, friendship, and shonen anime. Assemble your crew, customize your Mech, and lead them in cinematic turn-based battles through a world ruled by rogue AI. The bonds...

Oy. @nitrogenomega.bsky.social is on sale and you should absolutely pick it up if you think turn based mech combat is cool (which it is)

The battle system works like you're storyboarding and directing an anime mech fight sequence, it's fucking WILD - was one of my most played games of 2025

Brendan’s post followed by a Good Trail cams account photo of two coyotes, one snarling viciously

Timeline serendipity

You don’t understand. It’s much harder for claude to write private accounts than [checks notes] important features like cashtags

lmfao I wish

I learned how to play guitar because of hearing siamese dream for the first time at 12, I wish such a formative experience for me wasn't tied to the creation of such a fucking disappointing human lol

read token anxiety

jkap.io/token-anxiet...

Probably doesn't help that claude's statuspage is starting to look like a colorblind test

bad collage featuring multiple photos of George W Bush being told about 9/11 while reading to school children

every week on this fucking site lmao

man, bsky can't even handle a gif in the fucking preview? deeply unserious platform!!!

Trying to stay internally positive amid the world at large going to hell and at the very least, I can do gifography of snow falling. Please enjoy.

Y’know I’ve never really thought about it like that buuut I think there are songs that can slap that aren’t bangers

NBC News headline that reads “Nuclear program, missiles or regime change: Trump struggles to define Iran war goals”

For fucks sake I’m so used to him saying the quiet part out loud that I’m surprised he hasn’t just “we need to kill brown people” in a press conference yet

Man it really feels insane watching the global order break down in front of me. like is my anxiety disorder especially bad today, or am I aware of how supply chains work and able to read the news

I hate this lmao

Daily Dex - Rolycoly, Fat Pikachu, Charmander, Tangrowth and Sunkern In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop

Man, I had grand plans for a pokemon day post but I got busy with work stuff and then the weekend happened which was full of significantly bad things so here's like 5 days worth of Daily Dex in one, the highest yet! I do touch on some of the pet death but I clearly mark it and you can skip as needed

The only down side to taking in infinite cats. Life spans. :/

💚💚💚 fucked up times, dude.

💚💚 I’ll do my best to keep em coming, thank you Mare!!

February's Final Moons Holding on to what you got while everything goes to hell

Having a rough one. Took some great moon photos the other night but then war and pet death crept in. Here's some words and some photos.

(I kept all the words below the photos if you just wanna see the moons and bounce, I get it)

Don’t let anyone tell you that this unhinged war of aggression the United States and Israel just instigated against Iran is justified.

for all it matters from a bluesky gamer account like me: no war in iran. this attack is horrific and all decent people of the world must oppose it with no hesitation or equivocation about iran's government or nuclear programs. that's irrelevant to the pointless depravity of this bloodshed

a screenshot of neil sedaka's imdb page highlighting an entry, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin - Advent of the Red Comet (2019), for which he is listed as contributing to the soundtrack

can i get some [ f ]s in the chat for a real one???

MSD's GOTY Indecision Blowout 2025: Everyone is Forgiven in Anime Paris Highlighting games I loved (like Pokemon Legends: Z-A) in lieu of a Game of the Year

(Here's the end of year blog post about Z-A if that's something you'd like to check out! - there's a good cat photo at the end)

Drawing of pokemon 137; Porygon! A polygonal duck-like creature

Drawing of pokemon 158; Totodile! A biped blue crocodile

Drawing of pokemon 554; Galarian Darumaka, a white yeti-like creature with unhinged eyes

Drawing of pokemon 571; a Hisuian Zoroark. It's like a longhaired biped wolf

Happy Pokemon Day? I haven't had a chance to watch the direct yet but I the last year of my life has taken an interesting turn because of the pocket monsters

Z-A was one of my goty's for 2025, and I started this project where I draw a pokemon every day
Enjoy!
