This instrumental album is easily one of my favourite things, and me calling it an "instrumental album" is doing it a disservice.

I don't post a lot of news articles on here, so I figured I should post the update article for this that came out in May (two months after the original article). Warner Bros. essentially changed their minds and gave the game ownership rights back to the developers.

It's still a pretty sizeable red flag for creatives in the industry. Regardless of the walk-back, it's gonna be hard to earn anybody's trust for some time.

Seems as though Warner Bros is just completely fine with removing creative works from existence now (First movies, now games).

They even refuse to transfer ownership of Steam game store pages to the original developers who, unsurprisingly, don't want their games wiped off the map.

Massive red flag for any creatives to steer clear of working with them in the future, if they value the longevity of their work.

The outro to this track is just absolutely *perfect*

THIS GAME IS AWESOME AND TERRIFYING AND EMOTIONAL & THE BEST.

(not really spoilers because it's a pretty brief clip with no plot, but if you haven't played hellblade 2 yet & want to, don't watch!)

Bit of a classic

I've delayed Vestige every year since 2021, but 2024 is finally looking pretty great in this regard! Lots of things in motion this summer.

Not gonna release any more singles, though. It's all gonna drop, or none of it.

Got some new recording equipment, & the same old sub-par recording space.

I wish Panama could release some solo stuff for the first time in 7 years, but this'll have to do! Mighty fine track

“The notion that the United States is “polarized” into two conflicting, equally stubborn and extreme camps infects much of the mainstream news coverage and everyday chatter about politics. Washington is “broken.” “Gridlock” is a problem. “No one goes out to dinner with someone on the other side.” Such mealy-mouthed language masks a stark dichotomy: Democrats have to move to the center to get bipartisan support; Republicans have become radicalized and unmovable. This is not “polarization.” It is the authoritarian capture of much of the GOP by a right-wing movement bent on sowing chaos. Turkey, Hungary and other countries with autocratic strongmen are not polarized; democratic forces try their best to prevent their country’s ruin and collapse into total dictatorship. Our political scene, sadly, has come to resemble the global authoritarian assault on democracy. […] The bipartisan border compromise … was sunk by Republicans. Republicans in the House overwhelmingly opposed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, commonly known as the “Bipartisan” Infrastructure Bill (which President Biden modified to get bipartisan support); almost every Republican voted against the Chips Act, they all voted against the Inflation Reduction Act, and some even voted against the Pact Act, which would have helped veterans. House Republicans have launched phony, baseless impeachment hearings. Senate Republicans filibustered reenactment of a key part of the Voting Rights Act, blocked a bipartisan Jan. 6, 2021, commission and overwhelmingly refused to convict four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump. The assertion that hyper-partisanship, chaos and nihilism (e.g., threatening to shut down the government, egging on a default and refusing to even vote on Ukraine aide) is equally divided amounts to an outright fabrication — or utter cluelessness.”

— The radicalization of the Republican Party is not ‘polarization’

"It never gets easier. It's always wonderful."

hi Mr. Gaiman. My cat died two days ago and I really miss him. I’ve seen pictures of your dogs so I think you might be a dog person so I don’t know if you’ll get this but, I not only miss my cat (Kittywitty), but I also miss the the unconditional love that he gave. I’m scared that I won’t experience that kind of love again and it makes me very lonely. I’m scared of forgetting him, he deserves the world. He wandered into our farm one day and never left and I’m so grateful. He reminds me of you a lot, he carries this wonderful, otherworldly magic. I’ve known him since I was three. Life got less magical, but he never did. You could have the worst day, but then you’d see him and it was suddenly the best day. Anyways, I hope you have a wonderful day. You’re truly amazing and your writing enraptures me.

I'm so sorry about your cat.

I don't believe that there are cat people and dog people. I had so many cats from 1992 on -- they would turn up at our house and never leave. I wrote a story about them, and about one in particular, called "The Price".

This is Zoe, who was blind, and died in 2010:

This is Princess, who turned up (with kittens, and pregnant with more) in 1992 or 1993 and died in 2013...

One day, maybe, I'll be ready to have a house full of cats once more. It took me ten years after my dog first died to get another dog though. It never gets easier. It's always wonderful.

I wish everyone wanted to feel happy and see it in others.

If you haven't heard this song from me yet, check it out. Pretty simple concept, but still a favourite of mine four years later.
