thursday - friday

okay...i'm stupid...i played termina too much tonight.

plus we did not get to seem friends from la but sunday should be a good day... uhmmmm. yeah!

i sent the email to the director, which is ssick, plus i sent the problem song to a friend to get their thoughts on how it sounded, they said it sounds cool, so maybe i wait a bit to hear it again, i listened to some of my other songs i'm working on and am getting excited about them again, so that is very very nice. today is also a really good day, someone i know distantly, we were in a music server forever ago though i dunno if she remembers me well at all, she listened to my album and said this about it:

really #happy! it makes me feel kind of crazy seeing people throw praise towards me, i have no idea what to do, i feel guilty almost, like it's something i have to reciprocate, it seems always done out of kindness, so having that kind of thing directed at me feels strange and new, people are so kind, though, i like people.

i think i talked about it before but i always like bow my head at people who are nice to me online... i'm a freak i guesss.

okay, i also did see dfa1979 live tonight, they're really fun live, sound good, it was cool to see jesse's setup, i didn't get a look at his pedals but i'm not so interested in that, i was more curious what was going on with his amps / cabs, it seems like 2 large pa cabs almost? not even like regular bass cabs, but they probably are, it's 5 cones on them i think, so it's massively loud and super low freq heavy, there's some nasty and strange mid range stuff too, he's definitely running a harmonizing pedal, and then that into an octave fuzz maybe? that'd be demented honestly, but it sounds like there's some messy stuff going on but no messy tracking, so it's not a synth pedal or anything i think. it could be a new like earthquaker one, i think, but he did some chords on the bass too and it sounded good. he also had his bass get switched out at times, so i wonder what tunings he's messing with. the drummer's the vocalist, always fun to see, they're both charming guys, the crowd was pretty fun and they weren't too bad, kind of like, frat bro-y douche-y vibes but they weren't douches, if that makes sense, i guess just bros, bros chilling. on the way out, my gf and i got asked if we were friends, by a guy who definitely wanted to fuck. he was feeling brave i suppose. but honestly there's not a lot to say about the show... their synth, idk what it was, they'd made the logo say "poop" which is an immature way to mask what you're rocking out with... i dunno why bands do that really, i guess some people are so protective of their sounds, like it's special property or something.

the opener was this band called sticker who sound like nirvana...kinda. i don't wanna be mean but they made me think about how i want them to succeed not cuz they are good but because they seem to just really feel it, so like, for their wellbeing, i want them to make it. but that's maybe mean... i dunno, i just want them to not be sad, i think. i wonder how they sound recorded. the guitar tone is too chorus-y to me. too much nirvana worship in that way.

anyway, i took selfies, today, i don't think i looked uggy, so that is a kind of win. here i am:

kinda bad lighting in one but it's not a bad selfie i think... or it's sort of bad in a good way? i d k. i'm dumb.

kay... i made a lot of progress in termina i hope. i'm on day 2, i opened up 2 parts of prehevil proper, the one gate, and then the church zone you access via the sewer, the sewer seems to have more going on, as well, so i need to figure out what i'm doing there. i think i wanna explore the west of prehevil, the cop enemies are really scary. i can't believe they get back up!! i wonder if i have to like destroy their limbs? as marina i got a spell, red arc, i think, it's really powerful, i've been using it to zap their heads off. i wonder if i can zap the head off of that needle guy... he's so scary to me, made me panic every time i encountered him, really really scary.

i also got to the basement of that woodsman, he like killed his wife cuz she did things with a goat, or maybe she summoned the goat. i need to do some wandering i think, tomorrow, in the area, i found a tunnel made by the bremen army it seems like, i need to figure out where that goes but i don't have a key to that door. also figured out what to do with the heads of enemies and stuff.

here's a funny screenshot i took:

he will not become my friend... i do not know what it is he wants.

okie dokie, i think that's all i have to say. or idk, i really love this game, i was locked in a like, panic striking thing where i was like, okay how will i get out of this one bad situation, and i got out of it, kept exploring, and started making actual progress, and i opened up a couple blood portals to get around better. i just felt a lot of actual panic faced by some enemies, and not sure if my spell actually had that high a hit rate, and i know i can't depend on it because it's gonna drain my sanity... so stressful. it's really perfectly created, and this narrative feels like it's doing more, saying more, like fascist forces using these intensely fucked up vitalist visions of these gods to shape the world, like a kind of psycho-futurist thing almost? war forever because of their bloodlust, and the framing of the jesus figure as bloodthirsty too. its grim vision of 'humanity' is still there, but it feels a little more, i dunno, it's got kindness in it. some of the characters really are kind, i like the people who have stuck by the train. i wonder how i can help them.

now i need to sleep,

so,

out of curiosity i looked up when ashnikko would come to my state and she'll be here on the 13th and i don't have money for tickets!!! I mean i kinda do but i just cannot in good conscience spend the money on them right now. maybe next year or something. BUT, i did find out that chevelle, three days grace, and death from above 1979 are touring here in October which is plenty of time to buy tickets and plan a trip for those. soooo those are 2 very good options for me. ive missed seeing chevelle with korn twice now, i would love to hear 3dg live except Adam isn't lead anymore (matt is still good, dont get me wrong) and i stopped listening to them after he left, and dfa1979 literally are the heart and soul of my stupid little teenage girl heart. i found dfa1979 through crystal castles when they sampled "dead womb" for "untrust us." i really got into them my senior year and listened to them every day for practically a year through my last year of high school, which was a bittersweet time in my life, so they mean so much to me. i am seeing death from above 1979 regardless of cost (which isn't much at all) and if i have to work or not. those are my boys, they've been with me through some shit and they don't even know it. 🩷🥹

wednesday - thursday

listening to the locust right now.

but i need to sleep now so actually switching off of that, to try and relax i guess, i dunno, it's not like it really matters but i'm #trying to have energy tomorrow for dfa1979 and also to see my friend from la, her friends, who will become my new friends probably, and then our friends (gf and i's). it will be busy and i need to wake up earlier than usual.

but i did some interesting stuff today. i don't know how i feel about the guitar sound in the song that i keep troubling myself over, so i was messing with that a bit, and then i got an interesting new sound, kinda jangly and weird, sort of like a more freaked out version of some of the clean sounds the blood brothers get, which is weird, but it sounds cool, not really clean at all but it has the attack of a clean sound maybe, just a touch at least. so tomorrow or the day after, i'm gonna drop that in and see what happens with some of the other layers and stuff. maybe it'll be better than the original layer? i dunno. fewer layers does = better typically.

i also had a drum idea in my head, and transposed it in a way i like, which isn't totally foreign to me but it's difficult, i got it out, though, and that makes me happy. who knows if the idea's any good but i think i like it.

i also did a little writing, it's weird, fear and hunger 2 made me do it, kinda, i got to a part where i fought a guy who looked like pinhead in the mayor's house, and he like did his coinflip attack, and got me, and crucified me, and i was up there legless, and marina was all woozy and stuff, and i thought about how i'd feel hung up like that, which resonated with something i was writing, so i focused on that sensation, it put the idea of phantom limb type stuff in my head, and the kind of dancing around that, being a spectacle and feeling limbless, or actually being so. it moved me and felt related to so many things, or i guess, it gave me an image to have some kind of fantasy about, and through that odd trail (how odd, to imagine oneself tortured and harmed) and to sort of express that as somebody at their limit, or being at the limit and exploding i guess, exploding as in, feeling parts of your body have been jettisoned.

i got to a save point, in fear and hunger 2, i also figured out how to kill most of the villagers, they're very very simple which i like, i like their coinflip attack and that you dodge over it, it's like, cute. i also found a salmonsnake talisman in a chest by crazy luck, i think that's going to be very powerful??? i never got it in the first one, only learned what it did from reading about the game for advice, and i was like, well that's too far back i'm not gonna bother. which i'm happy about honestly, i like how i just kind of miserably scraped through the game, i always lost people in my party on the fight with francois. i also understand the new god stuff better, i like the idea of people being manipulated into becoming minor deities to carry out the bidding of older gods who are too bored. i'm excited to see more stuff about them, but i also really like the freaky moon with its face.

here's a song i'm listening to.

i went and saved cuz i narrowly escaped from a guy with a pig mask who nearly killed me, which was scary because i got a lot of good stuff on that run through, lotsa food which is important. not too much healing though, so i'm at like 31 hp right now. i think i'm gonna try and figure a way out, i guess, tomorrow. i like that there's so many situations or little narrative bits you end up with, lots of drama, when i was crucified, a guy came and saved me, august, and he wandered off, and i was legless and crawling i went back to the train but i didn't know what to do, and i went towards the direction karin wanders off in (karin right... the journalist woman), and a dude shot me!!

whoa, this song after than andy song in this joe meek production comp:

what the hell, this sounds so insane!! #swaggy

so i guess today has been very good for me, i didn't spend too much time dealing with crashes or stuff that depressed me. i'm worried about feeling ugly tomorrow, but i'll try to not. but to do my best at that, i need to sleep. it sucks that i need to beat the game to find cute fanart of characters i like in the 2nd one. i also like that man with the checkered pants and eyepatch, he's great... i want him to join me... i wonder if i can cooperated with people and not kill everybody, i don't want to hurt them or see them die, i'd like to kill the moon i guess. that would be best. it seems to suggest that either everybody will die, for one to ascend or something, or if too many are living, we'll have to do something else. i dunno. fucked up though... i like these people too much, like olivia, she is so nice.

wow, it's been a while since a game had me like this, or i guess not, i was like this for elden ring's dlc too. it's sad how few games understand being really intensely freakish but also kind of cute and sweet, i think elden ring is kind of cute, like st. trina is a cute design, stuff like wanting to protect the girl, or like, i dunno, the sprites in fear and hunger really are super nostalgic cuz they remind me of watching old freeware rpgmaker games (i couldn't run them on the old mac i had as a kid...), idk the fact it's rpgmaker, it warms my insides i guess. i'm soooooo goofy in my brain, i guess.

so,
