it seems to be a good way of getting me to put things out more frequently, but do i really want that pressure?

i mean, it was my new years resolution last year to get better at art, but this year i'm trying to get good at music!

it's certainly proving more arduous, and i've only really managed to make one arrangement so far

maybe i should do some sort of weird music-based inktober instead? hmm

i don't think i could make something good daily, so i would need to do weekly instead, maybe?

last year, i set myself up with a really strict set of rules where if i missed a single day, i would have failed for the entire month and had to stop

the added pressure, combined with the fact that i had a streak going managed to push me through the entire month!

though i'll admit it came down to the wire more often than i would have liked

Show thread

i haven't decided if i want to do inktober yet

@noiob @tom and i'll just rhythmically post badly--this is where our quintessential dissonant sound comes from

(but for reals, if you ping me, i'd be down with beep booping into a match or eleven later)

@noiob @tom i'd be down with that! (though i was talking about the band, oops)

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz only the floofiest of friends!

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh gosh, look at that cozy floofball!

@ticky oof, that was close

but yeah! if you get splatted after the time runs out, it's still considered a win

i actually like jumping in the water after the last wave

@codl and for the next trick--we call it page skip: if you input a frame-perfect page turn at just the right time, we can skip the entire story segment of the run!

it's a dangerous trick though, because if they're even one page off, they'll need to improvise from an unknown part of the story

this strat isn't marathon safe, but the potential savings make an attempt worth it

let's see how it goes! but we'll need silence from the audience in the meantime

@noiob oh, i hope you like it! i know i personally enjoyed it a lot~

it's a little slow to start; it really starts to kick off in their second arc: Murder on the Rockport Limited

but even so, the first episodes have lots of things in them that get referenced later, so it might not be a good idea to skip them if you wanna immerse yourself in the storytelling later

@noiob that's probably for the best

some early MBMBAM episodes are just, uhhhh...not so good. i wouldn't overly recommend it

on the other hand, i'm happy i started from the first episode of TaZ. even if it was pretty slow to start, that whole thing basically became legit the best thing i've ever listened to

@noiob nice!

i'm still catching up with MBMBAM since i only really started getting into podcasts because of The Adventure Zone a few months ago

self care is deciding you don't need to engage with people who make you feel bad

you don't need to feel guilty about controlling your environment to be something that makes you just a little bit happier!
