A photo taken from my seat looking down the length of the plane, we've only just started boarding so there aren't many people on it yet.

We are on a plane! Off to Perth to see @burgerdrome and some other non-fedi friends.

A screenshot taken in Cyberpunk 2077 on the Xbox. It's a city street at night at ground level, looking across a pedestrian crossing towards a bunch of tall buildings rising up in the background, high contrast and lots of neon signs everywhere, and it's pretty much what you think of when you hear the term "cyberpunk".

Another screenshot, similar aesthetic as the first with some tall buildings in the background, but this feels decidedly dingier and much lower-rent. It's looking down into a set of shops below street level, with a big blue neon "HOTEL" sign in the middle and a bunch of cables crisscrossing the space above it, and there are some red Chinese-style lanterns hanging from the eaves of a building at the right.

Man, they've certainly done a fantastic job with the art direction for Cyberpunk 2077! Absolutely top-notch cyberpunk aesthetic right here. I'm very early-on in the game so I imagine it gets even better.

A screenshot of my Cyberpunk 2077 character. She's a Black woman with purple hair pulled up behind her head and the sides shaved, a bunch of piercings, and she's standing there with her arms crossed and a slight smirk on her face. In the background is an empty street curving away to the left.

Having forgotten about Cyberpunk 2077, and also having forgotten how to play it, I decided to start a new character and maybe actually play more than a couple of hours this time.

Unfortunately the lack of being able to use a Southpaw control scheme means I'm absolutely ATROCIOUS at aiming at anything, so I'm playing on easy difficulty and will be primarily leaning on not actually shooting at stuff for this playthrough, hopefully it's not too frustrating — I have an extremely low tolerance for frustration at video games these days. (I can swap the control sticks around at the Xbox controller level, but that fucks things up in a bunch of other ways like navigating through menus, so I'm going to just have to see how it goes. For the love of $DEITY, game devs, JUST LET ME REMAP CONTROLS!)

A wide-angle photo of six people sitting around a somewhat messy music area in our office. I'm on drums, we have someone on bass guitar, two guitarists, a keyboardist, and a vocalist.

Yessss, jam session was excellent! We had a group of other people who were using the space just before us and some of them stayed back and ended up playing with us as well.

I turned out to be the only drummer so only played that, but got some compliments on it which I was stoked about! Especially given that the other people were waaaay above my level in terms of guitar or bass skills, haha. They were actually playing some songs, none of which I had the remotest idea of how to play on drums and some of them which I hadn't even heard, but I was able to put down a good beat at the right speed and it worked out really well. We even ended up doing some bluesy-sounding thing at the end where I did a shuffle beat and it sounded fantastic!

A photo looking down Sydney's George St, with tram tracks in the middle, some trees just starting to come back into their greenery, tall buildings, and people walking around with umbrellas. The sky is grey and it's actively raining.

I'm in the city today for a doctor's appointment and also post-work jam session, and jesus CHRIST is it miserable.

A photo of three smiling people sitting at a restaurant table. There's me, a white man with short hair and a red beard that's in need of a trim, @yayKM, a white woman with short light brown hair, and @thewetmale, a white man with dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. In front of us are two roti tisu, which are huge cone-shaped sweet Malaysian desert things.

Most excellent to finally meet @thewetmale in person!

A selfie of me, a white man with a red beard, with a blue curtain over half of my head because I'm sitting directly next to the window and the wind keeps billowing the curtains everywhere. Makes a little hard to work.

I've got all the windows in the house open right now, and while it's absolutely glorious, it's also slightly windy.

A photo of my standing desk in its upright position, with an electric guitar sitting to the left of the desk, a bass guitar sitting to the right of the desk, a MIDI keyboard on the desk, and Logic Pro showing on the main display.

Recording the bass and drums for @[email protected]'s upcoming Christmas song has gotten me into the mood to try record a short little something of my own. 👀

I'm trying to do some kind of cool minor pentatonic thing, we'll see how it actually comes out. 😅 I've got the bass riff recorded so far and it's sounding pretty good, next stop is some lead guitar over the top of it. (The MIDI keyboard may or may not end up being made use of in the final product.)

A photo of our original cupboard doors, there are four of them and they're in a very white thin frame with very cheap looking wood grain as the actual door material (I honestly couldn't tell if it was the real wood or just a faux-wood covering on top).

A photo of the new cupboard doors, only three of them. They're white, in the "quaker" style, and the middle one has a mirror in, which is reflecting me in the middle of taking the photo.

Today we had our incredibly shitty built-in wardrobe in the main bedroom replaced! Looks so much nicer now, inside as well, and it's good to have a mirror that isn't the weirdly lowly-positioned one on the back of the bedroom door.
