It's absolutely crazy how hyped I got at the end of the fallout TV show.
I am a fan boy. I had a fan boy moment. It felt awesome. I was just fuckin happy at something being depicted on TV from a game I love
Played 15 minutes of Grim Fandago last night and can already tell I'm in for a treat. I felt happy for 15 minutes before I went to my job which I hate now
When I'm editing I often for some reason imagine myself watching Lloyd in Space or playing Psychonauts. Like my mind keeps revisiting those 2 things. Like I'm trying to imagine the feeling of what it was like being carefree
Literally actually hate the UK. Fucking complete joke of a country. Just a rotten cruel culture
Made a tasty meal today.
Fried a whole bag of spinach, a head of broccoli, a box of mushrooms, an onion, 4 cloves of garlic, and a carrot all together in a frying pan. With some oil, and topping it up with splashes of water every now and then. Generously seasoned it. Then I added like 1/4 of a jar of pasta sauce. I then added a handful of parmesan.
I then blended it in the nutribullet with some olive oil and it became a really nice pasta sauce. Cooked up some pasta, added the sauce to the pasta then added some pasta water to it. Honestly really tasty.
I just had an emergency "I need to fucking eat as many vegetables as I can" moment basically.
A well made home cooked meal just legit tastes better than most fast food, it's just laziness that kept me in that prison. Can't be living on a diet of purely fast food and ready meals ever again. Especially as I venture into my thirties. Sure it's the kinda thing I'd do at uni for periods of time but I have to just be a normal adult please.
I also basically never go outside for any reason except work and grocery shopping (which I had been doing much less of). Or to leave the country lol.
Speaking of which, I'm going to Barcelona for about 6 days next week Friday :) With 7 other people including my gf. 8 including me.
LIFE IS HORRIBLE AND GOOD IN UNEQUAL MEASURE
Hadn't cooked anything that wasn't breakfast food, oven pizzas, instant ramen or other ready meals since late November. This changes tomorrow.
It's been a dark time. For some reason I just told myself I can no longer do it. Been eating the unhealthiest I have since probably Bournemouth uni in 2011/2012. So much takeaway too. Money down the drain. Didn't even enjoy it. I'd order some gross burger and wolf it down and not even enjoy it that much. The stuff I did really enjoy was healthier but more expensive so I mainly ordered junk.
Fuckin embarrassed of myself. Was funny though today. I just went downstairs and said to my flatmates I've decided to be a real person again and went to the shops and bought a bunch of vegetables
I just can't mix drums. I don't understand drums. They don't make sense to me at all. Every single mix I've been doing for my friend's EP has been me fighting to not have the drums sound like actual complete shit. I fucking fucking fucking hate snare drums so fucking much. I hate how they bleed into everything. What the fuck do you do when the overheads have much more snare than cymbals. What do you do when the tom mics have loads of cymbal bleed and you gate them but each time there's a tom hit you hear a cymbal. Fuckin 2 room mic tracks and 2 overhead tracks and a splash mic track and a hi hat track. Sometimes I literally mute the snare track and it's still too loud. Were they badly recorded? I don't know? I also can't hear any kick drum on my headphones and when I tested it in the car in china it was crazy loud. WHOOPS! Fuck drums fuck drums fuck drums fuck drums.
Every song I make I mute the drums and it doesn't sound "better" cos it's missing something, but it sounds a lot less like there's anything specificslly wrong. Everything sounds fine. Mixing anything else is literally so easy. Just do whatever the fuck you want. If you're mixing a bass guitar at least it's gonna be 1 fucking track instead of FUCKING 12 TRACKS. FOR ONE INSTRUMENT. AND A MILLION SENDS AND BUS COMPRESSION ETC. WHY IS IT SO COMPLICATED. Why do my drums sound worse than every reference imaginable.
I literally don't understand them! I need to just sit down with these exact drums and watch someone who knows anything about what they're doing mix them for me. Do I need to buy some plugins? I basically always use stock plugins except for 2.
It's funny cos I'm THIS close to asking someone to record drums for one of my songs but the only thing stopping me is that I don't think I'll be able to mix them well. So it might just be fucking pointless.
I wish I'd learnt to mix drums. I wish I'd learnt to record drums. I WISH!!!!!!
Everyone always talks about how shitty micro transactions are in games and how they ruined a lot of things etc and I've just literally never experienced it at all. I don't know if any game I've played in the last year even has microtransactions. I guess the solution is to only play good games.
Watched a Mr Beast video for the first time and I can't believe it's like an american Gordon Ramsay cooking show in terms of the crappy editing and SFX. It's just junk trash-tier day time TV basically. For some reason I thought it'd be different but nope.
Perfect drawing
It's funny that dragon ball z is infamous for its sometimes poor pacing and filler etc when Toriyama's actual Dragon Ball manga couldn't be further from that idea. It's a constant fast paced read from beginning to end, written by a guy who had no idea what was going to happen next at the end of every chapter. Kept himself on his toes every week for 10 years. Definitely part of what made it special.
Siiiigh I have been miserable all day. But it rules seeing how many other people's lives he influenced
Very sad about Toriyama. Dragon Ball is over for real and forever
That's pretty wild if James Somerton did kill himself
Honestly crazy how good the build mode music is in The Sims. That game was held up by its soundtrack
Haven't been able to stop thinking daily about how I despise my zionist manager at my old job and it is a miracle from god that I left that place before October 7th (over a year before so I guess not that much of a miracle).
I would probably have had to straight up quit with no backup plan if I was still working there. No price would be worth witnessing the evil that would be spewing from her mouth
I enjoyed Killers of the Flower Moon but didn't feel that much from it.
I don't normally criticise movies in this way but I definitely feel like it would have been more emotionally affecting to actually be from the perspective of the Osage people.
Recorded loads of vocals today and it's honestly sounding great. Always been hesitant to do it in this house because it's a noisy area. But today i thought fuck it and just did it and it was fine
