Holy shit, music festival tickets are expensive here

It's funny how the Vita can, supposedly, keep multiple apps open in the background, but every time I open a second one without closing the first, the console is all "duuude, please, close the other one, I can't handle all of this".

I mean, this is so funny:

“​ I breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank God.” The Brazilian federal police officer immediately started joking with me, “What do you think, we were gonna throw you in jail? We’re not ICE, we’re Brazilians.” “

I think my RSS feed got a bit out of control last month.

I feel like I need a vacation, but I can't take time off.
At least not yet.

My new Vita screen is acting up when I start charging the console.
It seems this problem happens even with original Vitas, but meh, I think I might have bought a low-quality one.

What I like about Ys is that you can spend months without playing, then just pick the game up and, after getting reacquainted with the commands, just continue from where you stopped.
I just did that with Memories of Celceta, now that I have a proper screen on the Vita again.

Holy shit, this is awesome. It seems I'll get a lot more use out of my default headphone.
Great timing to start getting back into music-making lol

Been messing around with a musical project that’s been untouched for more than a year (dungeon synth music) and having the sudden urge to buy a General Midi device or synth lol
Gotta resist this and use some of the VSTs I have.
(Thank god synth stuff it harder to find and more expensive in Brazil)

January finally ended for me, finished a big delivery by the deadline, but man, it felt like it lasted 6 months.
I do _not_ advise working 7 days a week non-stop for a month unless you really need the money.

(I really needed the money)

There's someone in a neighboring house practicing drums while listening to Metallica.
I can already hear the chopper full of lawyers approaching with a cease and desist.

Seeing so many people complaining about Gmail's "smart features" makes me glad I moved to Fastmail and haven't had to deal with any of that.

Like, it's a paid service and all, but it's been worth it because there's no risk of private communication with companies and clients being fed to an LLM without my consent.

Finally replaced the screen on my Vita. Sadly, it's just a third-party LCD instead of OLED, so the quality isn't what it was before. But anyway, I can finally play games again without screen tearing randomly.
