i just turned 32, but yesterday i described an AC unit i was thinking of buying to my friend, as well as the specific problem it would solve in my life and he said, "you mean the Midea U? that's my dream AC!" so yeah i feel like we both deserve to be 32

i dunno the bit of guitar at the end of this is some of my favorite guitar playing ever (as in me playing) and i'm pretty sure we didn't even use it in the game. i need to make a whole song out of that part youtube.com/watch?v=_JHGuUCv…

So, eleven-and-a-bit years ago, I wrote the only written narrative in Minecraft: the story that appears after you kill the Ender Dragon. (A narrative which players often call The End Poem.) Today, I officially librated that ending. Er, what does that mean? 🧵

if you really want to see the minecraft story mode soundtrack on spotify, please don't just upload it there yourself pretending to be us. that is weird. believe it or not, the reason it's not up there is not because we haven't figured out how lol

if you see any mcsm music (not counting story mode archives) on any platform besides youtube and soundcloud it's just someone pretending to be us. and there's a good chance it's someone pretending to be us anyway.

why this is a thing i still get to think about once a week, i have no idea. i think about nature reclaiming old buildings. people will just naturally repurpose stuff they think is abandoned. well, mcsm may be dead but i am not. now please get off my lawn.

we get about 80 new subs a month on the antimo/welles youtube channel. i don't understand why. we are a dead organization

then maybe we can all move on. to some other place when i release actual new music sometime in the next few months? for now, enjoy the old... uh sound of "nostalgia" as the kids are calling it

update. we just passed 8k subs on youtube. a year ago we had 4.5k. most of the subs on our mostly mcsm related channel have come while the game is not even being sold. i don't know what to do with this information. but. my dead organization is booming. (also thanks)

youtube is the only place to listen to much of my music. it's an odd reality that to listen to it, you have to be immediately presented with other people's thoughts on it. that's strange isn't it? you don't experience that so blatantly in a record shop or a bookstore or a museum

the problem is, as we are so youtube centric, it has also become the main place where i experience community around my music. and i just completely shut off that community. i think it should be there if you want it. and most other people i've talked to seem to want it, as well

i recently booted up my old ipod and re-discovered loads of music i'd forgotten about because it isn't on streaming services. this is a tidy little game that uses that idea as a jumping off point larkwrighter.itch.io/on-spot…

am i a sucker or is this guy wishing he'd just throw this in the trash instead of listing it on ebay

every time i want to post a cute picture of a dog i know, i ask myself, "do i just want to do this because i'm sad and lonely?" the answer is always yes so i usually abort. but now whenever i see other people posting dog pics i just think aw that dude's lonely i should text him
