Curiosity question for the folks on bluesky: How are you finding accounts you'd like to follow? I am seeing an influx of follows here and on @technomagemusic.bsky.social from people I don't know (yet). Would love to hear what led to our paths crossing!

My heart is so full. On our way to school, my son spent the entire drive asking me about Castlevania lore and listening to the soundtracks

I will keep an eye out for that 👀

If you're a recent follower but we don't know each other, hello!
I'm Dan (he/him), I like coffee, chiptune, retro games, Magic: The Gathering, crafting, songwriting, and general nerd shit. Let's chat!

This should go without saying, but given the circumstances, I feel it needs stating:

My son just stuck a pair of carrots into his hummus and declared "I'm playing video games" while twiddling the carrots like joysticks

Excellent stuff, as always! Your guitar tone and drum design always hits the sweet spot 🤘 preemptive congrats on the release!

Ah, that's brilliant! Right up your particular alley and squarely in your wheelhouse. I'm glad you found a project so suited for your skills. The song snippet sounds great! I'm sure the rest of the OST is going to be kickass

I can relate to that! Saying "yes" to things is a lot less difficult than seeing them across the finish line 😓

Hey, BS.
If you followed me recently, I assume we mutually hold the following beliefs:

1. Musk is a twat
2. GenAI does more harm than good
3. Consent matters

If I don't know you already, I'd love to hear from you! If you don't know me well, I'm a Dan (he/him). I love coffee, MtG, games, and music.

My oldest (4.5yr, not reading yet but good with basic math) has taken an interest in playing D&D with his dad and I need story ideas for a micro-campaign! Hit me with your ideas!

Conversation with my son:
"What kind of doughnut holes do you want?"
"Chocolate."
"And if they don't have that, what's your 2nd choice?"
"Laser--I mean cinnamon."

#Chiptune friends:
I am considering giving away a modded #Gameboy on a somewhat regular basis as part of a raffle. Proceeds would be donated to a community-selected charity. Does this sound like something you would support and/or participate in? Comments and input are very welcome.

It's a joyous thing to share my love of games with my own flesh and blood. Here's my son enjoying his freshly revamped Gameboy!
