Life has a funny sense of humor. Right as I put down music production I end up bumping into SONGBOY. This is what a good music-making toy is supposed to feel like!! I messed around with the demo here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3013320/SONGBOY_Play_Music
I swear to god this isn't sponsored. If I had to name a downside, it's easy to accidentally erase something. Also the vocal bot gets repetitive. That's it

ive been playing around with it and its super fun!! I need to remember that making music doesn't have to be placing each and every note one by one. sometimes you mess around with little music robots until it sounds good :]

Trying to even start on finding a new job has felt like pulling teeth, I almost kinda just want to ride my current one into the ground and worry about finding new ones once I actually have an empty schedule to do it. I put my personal projects on hold so I can work on my resume and portfolio in my free time but I just end up feeling worse and procrastinating even more. I'm so fucking bad at balancing all of this lmao

For context I've been feeling burned out at my current job and wanted to try finding a new one, but I think I should just go down with the ship so I can actually be happy in my free time again to do Neocities stuff. It would really suck to move again but my family is nearby if I truly need to crash at their place from unemployment

I'm sort of in the same boat. Looking, but not jumping on applying to anything unless it sounds 100% up my alley. It's not so bad riding it out since I can basically do my work on autopilot + my employer isn't THAT toxic. Gives me the mental capacity to work on things I care more about, anyway

This is pretty relatable... I just graduated from my master's program, so I've been using working on my site to distract me from the whole... job situation.

And it doesn't help that jobs nowadays want you to prove yourself worthy for a mediocre wage...

Had to update that entry in the Device Museum one last time, because I don't think music is a hobby I'm cut out for. (I know people often have the reaction of "don't give up!" or "just try again later!" but I legit can't get into it in a healthy, forgiving way so I'm just not gonna.) Also I sent out a bunch more free stickers and added a button

Getting tired of buying stamps for my free stickers in batches of 10-20 or so, so I've been researching how to print them individually from home with PitneyShip. Found an untested QL-800 printer on eBay for $10 and gambled on it to see if it works...and it DOES. The colorful postage stamps I usually use will be replaced by those fancy print-from-home QR code ones that Etsy sticker shops use very soon!

A moment of silence for these awesome stamps that I wish I didn't have to buy in slightly-too-big quantities: (US stamps: [WTF they got discontinued] ) (International: https://store.usps.com/store/product/global-1794-compass-rose-stamps-S_581704)

This was what I WAS using for mailing stickers in the US. I guess it's rare now: https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2023/pb22630/html/images/info_006_1.jpg

Yes that one was a little bit of a cheat but it still counts: anyone can send a self-addressed envelope to certain bases in Antarctica and they'll mail it back to you with special markings on it, espec. for stamp collectors. I did the same thing but slipped a sticker in the envelope in case a scientist there is interested. Haven't heard back from them yet though! https://www.nsf.gov/geo/opp/antarctic-stamp-collecting

Why can't I get a sticker if I'm under 18 & can I get my parents to do it for me?

General safety reasons, since it is pretty unsafe for a minor to be messaging a random adult online. And yes, it's okay if you have your parents do it. I had to put this rule in recently because someone under 18 tried to get free stickers in a way where their parents wouldn't find out, which gets dangerous

We got two new user tablings!! Nice
so cute !
That Zooquarium one is really cool! I couldn't be jealous though, as naturally the monkey one is still my favourite by far.
...hmmm...I wonder what an axolotl tabling would look like...
