our story begins with me seeing this very good tumblr post:
https://www.tumblr.com/scientistprophetgoddess/785398749359947776 after seeing this post and thinking it was extremely funny, i obviously wanted to know who wrote this and why it looked like this.
this question was answered for me very quickly by clicking through to the blog that posted it, wikicamp2.tumblr.com, which linked me…
aired out by kmoe this new kmoe album is going to be so good.
stay true forever by kuru Stay True Forever by Kuru imo a huge improvement over kuru’s last full length. i’ve listened to this a lot this past month. really fun terminally online digicore rap.

a little late, but i finally had time to put this roundup together.
revengeseekerz by jane remover Revengeseekerz by Jane Remover revengeseekerz is album of the year. revengeseekerz is music 2. revengeseekerz is car_crash_and_siren.wav: the video game: the movie: the album. revengeseekerz is a very dangerous album to put on while driving on the highway. revengseekerz is the feeling of smashing…
ok there’s a couple of things from april in here too because i didn’t want to wait until the end of the month to cover them
do i keep you up by kmoe this is the second single from the upcoming debut album from scene legend kmoe and i really really love it. honestly kmoe is super underrated even among hyperpop/digicore enjoyers so i hope this album finally gets him his flowers.
haven’t done a roundup in a while but i feel extremely obligated to because february 2025 has been a legendarily great month for music.
dancing with your eyes closed by jane remover i do not say this lightly – this might be the best song jane remover has ever made. i am unbelievably excited for revengeseekerz.

new weatherday album in march and the first single just came out and it’s good. recommended for fans of car seat headrest, grandaddy, cap’n jazz, etc.
(spoilers ahead)
eh. it was fine.
just about every minute i was playing this game, i could not stop myself from shouting at the screen “we get it! you played silent hill 2!” the game loves to endlessly repeat the trick of “what if a hallway or staircase was longer than you expected?” to the point that i got completely sick of it. it took me less than two hours to…
Un-Follow Me Now, This Is Gonna Be the Only Thing I Tweet About For The Next Week. Ive Wanted This For Years Fuck. What The Fuck.
(the homeswitcher sample?????? i’m dying)
i initially wanted to like, write something about all of these, but there were too many of them and not enough time. so instead, presented without commentary or justification, here are my favorite singles and albums of 2024, one album/single per artist.

didn’t really fw any big releases this week (and not a ton of them came across my radar), so this week’s roundup is just a bunch of soundcloud obscurities!
HEART EYES by collarbone collarbone · HEART EYES found this person because they liked one of my tracks on soundcloud and was immediately impressed by their work. super cool dark aggressive jungle/dnb stuff.

kutna hora by food house you ever wonder what tony hawk’s youngest child is up to? well, it’s this. i saw these two freaks live last weekend and it was a blast, very excited for the new album from all the new songs they played.
matter of time by umru and warpstr umru · Matter of Time this track is pretty much what you’d expect from a collaboration between these two:…
night palace by mount eerie Night Palace by Mount Eerie night palace marks the first relatively-normal release in the mount eerie catalogue since the death of phil elverum’s wife from pancreatic cancer in 2017. that death was followed by the beautiful, heart-wrenching a crow looked at me, and the similarly death-focused now only, and then a collaborative record with julie doiron called lost…
my twee monsters by tracey brakes my twee monsters by tracey brakes tracey brakes is one of my favorite producers of the past few years, and one of the most innovative and brilliant to come in the mold of SOPHIE and 100 gecs. this is her first full length album, and it’s a blistering mix of hyperpop, dubstep, and a whole lot more.
shake it like a (jane remover remix) by jane remover and…
M3 n MIN3 by femtanyl and danny brown M3 n MIN3 feat. Danny Brown by Femtanyl danny brown continues to have goated taste in collaborators and femtanyl continues to produce nonstop bangers.
daredeviil2000 by babii DareDeviil2000 by BABii this is a babii solo album, but the vast majority of the tracks are produced by iglooghost, so it’s kind of a stealth sequel to XYZ but with…
hey! this is coming out saturdays now. i realized that obviously a lot of music comes out on friday and i need time to listen to it before posting about it.
verdant by saeph saeph · verdant porter robinson’s 2021 album nurture featured two instrumental tracks: wind tempos and dullscythe. three years later, these tracks have spawned an entire soundcloud microgenre of imitators called…
gold by 2hollis i discovered 2hollis off the praise he recieved for his excellent third album boy, and he’s rapidly become one of my favorite artists working right now. he went on tour recently supporting ken carson, and i see why – he’s operating in a similar lane of highly distorted trap-adjacent music – but he easily blows ken and all the other carti clones out of the…
let’s try some dumber simpler posts on here
pitchfork did some half-decade lists and of course fetch the bolt cutters, the only album they’ve given a 10 since my beautiful dark twisted fantasy, is #1.
fetch the bolt cutters is such a funny album because nobody ever talks about it except in conversations like this. it’s a record that exists exclusively to fit the mold of…
Porter Robinson · Everything Goes On i. i didn’t expect to feel this bad on the day. i hadn’t written anything about cohost’s disappearance because like, while it made me sad, it’s just a website, yknow? i stayed up last night until the site went read only at 6AM PST. it wasn’t entirely because of cohost, i’ve been having trouble sleeping in general, but it was…
gonna try and do posts like this regularly, maybe once a week or so? since this is the inaugural one i’ll include some music not from this week but from earlier this month that i’ve been enjoying.
just.dansen by xaev just.dansen by xaev somehow i totally missed that almost a month ago xaev put out a new album. it’s got some uk garage, some jungle, and some electro…
made some more blog improvements last night after the big move. big change to the layout is posts now have dates on them. the bigger technical change is the addition of a blogroll powered by openring.
openring is very simple and very cool. you give it a list of rss feeds, and it selects the most recent three posts from them and lets you use a template to generate some HTML highlighting them…
this blog may look exactly the same for you, but it’s in fact totally different!
i intend to post here more now that cohost is going away. expect a lot of the more effortful posts that i used to post on there to be here instead.
i used to host blood.church on neocities, and it was built with a very simple static site generator called cobalt. this setup required some really annoying…
if you find this tutorial valuable, i have a patreon and a ko-fi. your support is much appreciated.
NOTE: shortly after i wrote this, there was an update to MoonTools.ECS that breaks many parts of this tutorial. I am currently in the process of writing a new tutorial to address these changes. In the meantime, if you want to follow this tutorial, you’ll have to checkout MoonTools.ECS…
over a year ago i wrote a blog post like this the last time unity did something indefensible.
that blog post still has some useful information but i wanted to write an update to address changes in my own opinion and responses i’ve received.
i. against the big-box engines by a huge margin, the most common response to the news of unity’s continual enshittification i see is the…
these tutorials are supported by viewers like you over at patreon and ko-fi.
a little while ago i published FNAECSTemplate, a template project for making video games with FNA, MoonTools.ECS, and FontStashSharp. i made this because the .NET build system is a hell nightmare from which i cannot awake. i hate it when tutorials rely on you downloading some template project without explaining how…
this post was brought over from my cohost! since i made this post i have played the intro of the japanese version of persona 5 and learned that the “please take care of me” in the intro is not 「よろしくお願いします」, it’s (iirc, not looking it up again) 「私を預かりますお願いします」, which is literally and unambiguously “please take care of me.” that’s also a weird greeting in japanese…
i have been meaning to write something like this for a while. this is probably only the beginning of a series of articles i will be writing about the practical, technical aspects of making your own game engine.
why? because unity just “merged” with a company that makes malware. many people are jumping ship to unreal engine. i think this is a bad idea.
a lot of the…
“marine salvage for gamers.” i did not finish subnautica. i try my best to finish every game i review, but i felt that after twelve hours of having a merely okay time, i had gotten the essential experience.
subnautica is a underwater-themed survival crafting game released in 2018 and developed by unknown worlds entertainment, previously known primarily for natural selection 2. at…
“GET YOUR ASS OFF TWITTER CAUSE IT GIVES YOU FUCKING MENTAL ILLNESS” - fraxiom
on the day that i write this, noted rick and morty fan elon musk has bought twitter1. everyone is freaking the fuck out.
now, i’ve gone on the record as saying that i don’t actually think that anyone who is claiming they’re going to leave twitter over this is actually going to leave…
“pushes the boundaries.” in 1988, konami released snatcher, written and directed by hideo kojima. snatcher was a curious game, both in its era and now. graphic adventure games had made their way to japan from the US with the portopia serial murder case. snatcher was an evolutionary step towards the adventure game’s most uniquely japanese form: the visual novel. snatcher featured…
“travels back in time to undo the death of the adventure game.” ghost trick is a 2010 nintendo ds adventure game developed by capcom and directed by shu takumi, the director of the first three ace attorney games. this was actually part of the reason i’d avoided playing it. i had heard very little about it, and assumed that was because it failed to live up to the quality of the…
“not a roguelike, just an amusement park ride.” ten years ago i started watching the youtube videos of a let’s player (remember when we called them “let’s plays?”) named northernlion. he was most well known at that time as an avid player of a game called the binding of isaac. at that time, words like “roguelike” and “procedural…
“maximalist indie rock is back baby. it’s good again. awoouu (wolf howl)” black country, new road are a british post-punk/post-rock band from london. they are, or were, fronted by isaac wood, whose expressive vocals and neurotic lyrics were what drew me to the band through singles like athens, france and sunglasses. their first album, 2021’s for the first time took a while to…
