I listen to TechStuff to fall asleep!

My headphones. I just love listening to music way too much.

“Are you pondering what I’m pondering?”

“Uh, I think so Brain, but this time, you wear the tutu.”

And this feeling is why I started picking up music again after I stopped playing/recording for nearly 12 years. I’ve worked too hard and focused so much on being successful when I’ve forgotten what makes me truly happy.

I used to not want to make my bed because I was going to sleep in it again and get it messy anyway.

My dad started telling me to not wipe my ass because I’m going to shit again anyway.

Lately for me it’s been the Octopath Traveler II soundtrack. Whenever I feel stressed out I just listen to the character themes and it totally transports me to another place.

Using shift + scroll wheel to horizontally scroll in a UI. Whenever I see my project manager going all the way to the bottom of the application and dragging the scrollbars to move horizontally it just kills me a bit inside haha.

This is a great way to think. Some people are so frustrated with waiting in line at the bank or market. For me, it’s just another unintended break where I get to relax.

I think this is the case where certain people simply can’t see it here the difference.

I collect video game and movie soundtracks and the main difference I can hear between a 320kbps VS a FLAC that’s in the 1000kbps range is not straight up “clarity” in the sense that something like an instrument is “clearer” but rather the spacing and the ability to discern the difference where instruments come from is much better in a Hi-Res file with some decent wired headphones (my pair is $200). All this likey doesn’t matter much though when most users stream via Spotify which sounds worse than my 320kbps locally and people are using Bluetooth headphones at lower bitrates since they don’t have better codec compatibility like aptX and LDAC.

I have a Battle Tracks playlist of RPG battle music that really pumps me up!

“It’s my first rodeo.”

When I’m working, I listen to Lydian Collective and Tennyson (some of his tracks don’t have vocals). You might enjoy them as well!

For me it was Badminton. You can start off with cheap $15 rackets and plastic shuttlecocks. Now my racket is $260 and I play with feather shuttlecocks which are about $2 a piece and only last a few rallies.

When I first met my now wife, we just planned on dinner. My thought was if dinner went well, I’d ask her to go down the street to the local pool hall to continue the night. We ended up eating dinner for 4 hours and were the last to leave the restaurant.

I’m glad we never ended up at the pool hall because it turns out she hated that place lol.
