wuts hume wrow?

That feeling after your 4th edit, when the story you wrote out finally flows cleanly and doesn’t have any snags that will spur an internet argument, then you hit cancel and move on without posting it.

TBF the home row wouldn't matter. There's enough food stuck between the keys that what you press isn't what you get anyway.

I have that habit. Then I get really angry replies where people accuses me of stealth editing posts.

I mean like if that’s what happens then like whatever it is is what it is like if I don’t feel like finishing my thought what are you gonna do about it it’s just really whatever you know?

When I did webcomics I was worried nobody would think they were funny or had some reservations about public opinions.

Then I watched some documentary on comic artists, including Calvin & Hobbe’s Bill Watterson, and he said something like “I just make something I think is funny, and if my wife also thinks it’s funny that’s a bonus, and everyone else can think whatever they want to think, but I’m happy with it, and that’s all I really cared about.”

And that was enough for me to get into it.

Make it for you first. Everyone else is a bonus.

For real, there's dickbags pushing a button so AI can shit out songs that no one but themselves will listen to, patting themselves on the back as artists. Let's never be afraid to put our art out there, spread it, play it live. People need to know what human creativity feels like.

Edit: This may have been more about AI than I wanted it to be.

oh shit

i hate that bro

I have thousands worth of random modular, sequencers, groove boxes, software synths... It's endless. I sold a ton the last few years. I own 5 guitars for "different purposes". I have a Tracker Mini on the way tomorrow.

I've never produced a single thing I'd want to share with anyone. But I have fun making bleep bloops and that's what I remember when I start to feel bad about it. I just wanna live in a musical spaceship and that's ok until it's not, so let's just make cool sounds and not worry about it. 🤷‍♂️

Am I out of touch and maybe I have enough already? ... no its the ~~children~~ listeners who are wrong!

I make an "I will listen to your song" post in my group every now and then. Or you can just post it in the group. It's mostly just me posting there. Could use more people :)

could you share a link?

Could be worse!

I've got 14 million listens over four years on Distrokid, and that just about covered the cost of four years with Distrokid. On their most minimal plan.

Good thing I am also in it for the music.

Link?

Righteous.

Others are not you

Just find better podcasts. I don't really know what kind of crap people making these memes listen to.

You can check out Darknet Diaries as an example of podcast providing something useful/entertaining instead of just some guys talking about nothing.

There's plenty of good podcasts. I'm going through the massive backlog of Behind the Bastards. Learning about the worst people in history is important and entertaining.

Saying you don't like podcasts is like saying you don't like music. There's so many, made by so many people, in so many different ways, on so many subjects, that there's bound to be at least a couple you think are amazing. I mean, if all podcasts were just a bunch of dude-bros having a verbal wank into a microphone once or twice a week, then yeah, miss me with that shit. But a lot of them put a lot of effort into producing a high quality professional sounding show. Some of my favorites are 99% Invisible, which is a very well made show about not so obvious features of architecture and design; One Song, where they break popular songs down into all the isolated tracks and talk about how it was all put together; This Podcast Will Kill You, where they do well researched histories of diseases and toxins, their discovery, treatment, social impacts, etc; and You Are Not So Smart, which is a podcast about psychology and sociology. Other people already mentioned Behind the Bastards and Darknet Diaries, which I also listen to regularly. Chances are that no matter what subjects or hobbies you have a deep interest in there's at least one or two really well made podcasts about it.
