Recent Bullshit Part 7
Thursday July 23, 2026
It has been a long time since the last real post. Not just in this little “recent obsessions” series of posts, but on the site in general. I feel like I don’t have much to say anymore. I used to constantly try to come up with things worth posting about, and experiences would spark inspiration for posts regularly. There’s no sense in trying to pinpoint exactly where my lack of motivation comes from, since it’s most likely a combination of things.
Similarly, I’ve really been struggling to get the ball rolling on JAMMS 03. I feel like I have nothing (intelligent) to say. Ideas will come to me eventually, I just thought the lightbulb would’ve lit up by now. So far I have some scattered notes, no drafts, and an old sketch of Naomi’s ass for the centerfold pinup. To be honest, the lack of interest in JAMMS 02 makes me less eager to get back on the horse for JAMMS 03. I can’t blame anyone for not giving a shit. I am too afraid to advertise it on the Arcade Projects forum, even though they are the target audience, because I’m afraid the arcade wizards over there will tear it apart. Also, there is no straightforward way to “try before you buy” since I haven’t posted digital versions anywhere. These are things I’ll come back to when JAMMS 03 is wrapping up.
I’ve been drawing a lot for Art Fight. It’s amazing how much I can draw when I’m not, uh, obliterating all productivity by frying my brain with porn and being sad about it. Here is a selection of my favorites so far. ASS WARNING. One day I’ll come up with a more sophisticated way to censor suggestive images.
There are more, but I’m not as happy with the results of the other ones.
A few weeks ago I wrote down a bunch of drawing ideas, but it was all self-indulgent filth. To break the cycle of filth, I painted this cockatiel instead. When looking back at old drawings, I can tell which ones I really liked at the time by if they have a date on them.
Feeling confident, I tried to paint a frame from this video, but I think I bit off more than I can chew.
A little more time with it would probably go a long way, but for now I’m done with it.
I love birds. When I think about how gay and retarded the world is, or how gay and retarded I am, nothing brings me out of the hole like seeing a blue jay pick up a peanut from my tray feeder. I love cardinals and how much my mom loves cardinals. I love imitating catbirds with my girlfriend.
Games
I haven’t been fixated on any single game, and I don’t feel like getting screenshots. Instead, I’ll just make a list.
DJMAX Respect
I was itching to play a rhythm game on the PS5, and after a few Google searches I settled on DJMAX Respect. For those unfamiliar, you time presses of the left, up, triangle, and circle buttons to the bars that slide down from the top. The sound plays when you hit the button, so if you’re not accurate, the song will sound super weird. You can play with 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 buttons, but I only play with 4.
TGM2+
I can run Tetris The Grand Master 2 Plus on my Blast City now thanks to this WIP Psikyo SH2 MiSTer core. I don’t need another turbo autism time sink video game. The same shmups I yapped about in this post are now available on the MiSTer through the IGS PGM core. Now I have two PGM motherboards collecting dust.
DDR Ultramix (1-4)
I finally set up DDR in my garage, but that’s worthy of its own post. Stay tuned.
Music
I’ve been listening to more crazy electronic music than ever before. The old me that would rotate through 16 King Gizzard albums is dead. I listen to dance music exclusively while sitting perfectly still, unless I’m playing DDR of course.
The End
I can’t think of anything else new. I started seeing a therapist. I joined an MMA gym. I cried when my mom put down her dog. I (seriously) want to build a shack in the woods.
