Learning about Christianity, after being an atheist my whole life thus far.

Curious why Christianity and not some other religion?

Mainly because knowledge about Christianity is the most physically accessible to me, as I am a next-door neighbour to a Theology professor of New Testament.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

An old one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire:_The_Masquerade_%E2%80... There were many technical issues with the release version, but GOG sells the game with unofficial patches integrated, which worked great for me.

Yes that game is STUNNING and absolutely pulled me in

Try it as the insane vampire, it’s great.

I just downloaded Ableton Live and it’s been a blast playing with it. Similarly, I finally understand how modular synths work and it’s basically just functional programming with sound. I haven’t bought any modulars yet but I’m really looking forward to getting into it in the new year. Music production is very cool and I can’t wait to learn more.

The former is libre and gratis, runs as a standalone or plugin and in the browser!! and is based on the latter.

The latter has a libre and gratis standalone version, the plugin version is non-gratis.

Quit my job earlier this year to start an indie game studio and a little bit of contributions to misc open-source projects.

A fair balance of relax time but also enjoying the time off. There is so much I want to do and get excited for, but I still suffer a lot of procrastination related problems or else I feel like I could have done a tremendous amount more.

I feel like there is lifetimes of things I get excited about and want to do, but spend so little time doing them. :( It sucks

Tabla. These are drums from the South Asian region, which are probably the "most" harmonious drums you can construct. I am learning to play, but also slowly working out the physics of them. There is some work in the area, including foundational work by Ramen, the Nobel prize winning physicist.

But there is quite a lot still to be done. I would like to turn some of the art of making Tabla into the science of making Tabla.

If you have any questions, lemme know. I've been collecting questions and seeing if I can tie them all back to a particular idea. It's nice when things fit together like that
