New Music Format: MusicDNA →
I swear I had this idea back in High School before the industry had completely shat itself apart.

My love of game design in a paragraph.
I slept for an hour last night. Worked a 10 hour day moving furniture. And I’m still having trouble sleeping.
I’m at a loss. I literally can’t remember the last time I’ve had such a problem sleeping. If anything I usually sleep too much. What the hell is going on!
