My latest @Vectordrive single, “The Build” is out today. If you’re a fan of ‘80s revival, synthwave, and so on, you’ll definitely want to check it out. Link in the replies.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

.@studiotstella was a real one. He’ll be missed.

Fffffff

This is a little known piece of knowledge for the Reels generation, but scenes used to have many other scenes attached to them, and you were required to watch all of them - we called the combination ‘movies,’ and sometimes some scenes were good but more were bad.

Watching the new Peaky Blinders movie, so far the plot is just Tommy’s kid being an ass and him insisting he’s “monitoring the situation.” Hilariously, this tracks.

I'm not dying the beard, but if I ever do, there's only one shade I'd go with.

Looks incredibly fun, but what kills me is that I can already think of several different ways to replace the yellow paint with a far more immersive method to guide a player. Doesn’t usually take long for a design bro to insist the yellow paint is “vital,” because people are dumb and can’t recognize ledges, etc. Fine then, add a “detective mode” flash that gives you 2 seconds of guided path with a 30 second cool down. That’s just one silly suggestion, there are plenty of others you can come up with. There’s always a better option than slapping bizarrely high contrast yellow paint all over your game.

Robocop is made all the more immersive if you watch it on Tubi because inbetween the movie's fake commercials, it'll cut to real ads with AI people trying to sell you gambling apps.

Maybe this is the move.

I’m guilty… of making awesome synthwave. vectordrive.bandcamp.com/tra…

Watched some kid cite the Urban Dictionary definition of hypocrisy during a serious live debate last night, then he attempted to defend it as if it’s an authoritative source. I was half expecting him to list off encyclopedia dramatica articles next.
