Kaos was great. I was surprised.
- Comment on nature is beautiful 1 week ago:
Yeah, when I first started growing peppers I did this and nearly killed a bunch of plants because I used too much.
It only takes a tiny bit and works wonders.

Same in the 00s. Everyone knew and no one gave a shit.
Side note: I love how “fuckin business” works a couple of ways.

We were in the same carrier group a lifetime ago. I didn’t know her well but she was pretty cool to the NCOs. This is fucking sad.
- Comment on Anon shares his taste in music 5 weeks ago:
Same. Plus I rarely clarified. Back in the day if someone zinged me anyway I’d generally make a joke about their mom or intelligence using the most hurtful language I could. I do not recommend the last part.
I don’t really do it anymore because I’m a middle aged dude who can’t give a shit about anyone else’s opinion. But I remember what it was like being a teenager who was weird even by teenager standards at a time when being different was not celebrated. I recommend against doing everything I did to protect myself but euphemisms for my hobbies are one I can absolutely recommend.
- Comment on Anon shares his taste in music 5 weeks ago:
A lot of games have great music. Instead of calling it video game music, which absolutely invites people to say stupid shit, just say you generally listen to atmospheric soundtracks.
Growing up in small town east Texas taught me to create euphemisms for all kinds of fun shit.

It’s not like the old days, but you can still find high energy local acts out at places like BFE. Just keep an eye on their roster. I’ll likely see you there someday!

I get it. We played Fitzgerald’s a lot for the last few years before it closed. My buddy was sitting in the lighting booth watching the last show.
I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to capture that vibe anymore. BFE is cool. Numbers, for whatever reason, was never really my scene. I’ve played there but I don’t go out of my way to do it. Even The Farm isn’t really what it used to be. I wish I could remember what the name of it was before because we played there a lot too. Wildcatters out in Katy is pretty cool on the right night. Brash has the arcade. Karbach usually has something cool going on (I’ve got a friend over there right now). But none of that is like what Fitzgerald’s was back in the 00s (I was too young and hours away in the 90s, then I left for the military).
But you know what they say. You can never go home.

There are some cool places closer in but I try to avoid heading that way. We played White Oak Music Hall recently and it’s pretty neat. Fitzgerald’s closed a few years back and that place was amazing. On the other side of town is House of Blues which is always a good time.
- Comment on my version is better 5 weeks ago:
I like The Farm and BFE, but those are two completely different vibes. I miss Acadia so much. That was my favorite place to be but they closed down last year.

Just to answer the question, tonight I was with a hard rock band. We did our thing then got hammered again.

Sorry, I was drunk as hell up on 1960 and forgot we were having a conversation.

Howdy neighbor!
Naw, I work remote, the HEB is walking distance, and if I’m on the motorcycle I’m headed the other way out of town. The only time I have to deal with it is when I’m playing a gig headed into town while everyone else is driving the other way.

Harris. Also just off 10.

So you’re picturing me every morning back when I had to drive in to work. Got it.

He’s sad because he was going to call in sick but waited too long.

I really like that. In Texas we call them cattle guards.
- Comment on Why does the Music Industry allow Spotify/Apple to profit off of them? 3 months ago:
Making music got easier by decade and it’s around 500$ to have all kinds of tech and instruments better than what Radiohead used in Kid A, and it’s way more accessible to access to learning resources.
People forget the part. The garage bands who couldn’t possibly make it in the 90s can now release their own music without a label. I’m just a drunk and I’ve got music out there that was mostly recorded in a closet. Anyone can put stuff out and try to find their audience.
The other thing a lot of folks forget is that most bands never made much from album sales. Only the top tiny percent did, even among a lot of famous bands. Musicians have always out there killing themselves on the road to make money on ticket sales and merch.

Folks in observation and analytics are gonna be real mad when they realize you’re giving away their secrets.
- Comment on Interesting. It's a constant reminder 3 months ago:
Plus the bottom handle looks to be about the same height as my butt cheeks. If I can grab it between the cheeks instead of getting my hands dirty then I’m definitely doing that.
(No, not really, I’m not that talented)
- Comment on Funko, BrandShield speak out about itch.io takedown 3 months ago:
If you had a business that boiled down to “corporate mercenary” don’t you think it would be incredibly convenient to have a reputation as a villainous bulldog?
There are very few companies who get to pretend they don’t give a flying shit about people. This is one who will thrive on that reputation. Pinkertons and whatever Blackwater is now.

I hate that for you. If you find a good Popeye’s it’s really great for fast food. Unfortunately to find a good one you’ve got to look for a line.

I loved the first couple before I stopped playing games entirely for a decade. But I was a console player and didn’t have to think about things like this.
